  • Bomag Launches New Generation Of Large Cold Planers

    Bomag launches its new BM/65 series of cold planers in fall 2021. With a CECE operating weight of only 27 tonnes, the BM 2000/65 is the lightest planer currently available in the 2-metre class. Its low weight achieved by the special lightweight design and the shorter conveyor belt now make the planers even more flexible to use. When it comes to efficiency, ease of operation and work safety, the new generation of planers features numerous innovative details.

    The productivity of a cold planer depends heavily on the perfect interaction of all components. The operator is at the centre of the process and has to confidently monitor everything from the control station – from the cutting edge to the conveyor belt. In the new BM/65, an unobstructed view has become an essential part of the construction: The front contour's slim design and the position of the operator's platform make it easier to work precisely and safely. The flat rear profile optimised for visibility also increases safety when manoeuvring. The obscured area behind the machine can be viewed seamlessly with the camera system. The control platform itself can be moved steplessly by up to 200 mm, allowing the operator to easily keep an eye on the right cutting edge and the side plate.

    Worth $120,000, the grand prize is a top of the line, custom made 1996 Western Star Truck (4964F). “This project inspired our best detail painters in the Kelowna plant,” says Dave Polack, President of Orion Western Star, the dealership through which the Foundation has purchased the truck. “they have used all their creative talent and selected a pearlized purple base with a unique splash design. This truck will look hot going down the highway.”

  • From the archives: Supply Post's Halloween Cover

    From the archives, October 2002 — When the goblins in the Supply Post production dept. tried to sneak in this hilarious, Halloween-themed cover, to see if anyone was paying attention. “We also changed the names of the advertisers. Skreenquip became Screamquip, and so on,” admitted the goblin. “I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for you meddling kids!” the un-identified goblin wrote, in its recently self-published autobiography, Newspapers I Have Haunted
