  • British Columbia Approves New Truck Configuration

    FPInnovations has led a number of initiatives to develop and promote the adoption of safe, more efficient heavy vehicles, which can provide immediate opportunities to significantly improve the industry’s competitiveness, and cut down on fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Transportation ministries across Canada use stringent performance criteria to determine the safety and impact of vehicles before they are approved for use on their roadways. The evaluation process includes analyses of the vehicle’s dynamic performance, its road space requirements, and the impact these vehicles would have on existing roads and bridges.

    The British Columbia Ministry of Transportation (TRAN) has approved 9-axle log hauling B-trains, equipped with 2.9 m-wide bunks, to operate on authorized provincial highways. This is a major achievement, and a big step forward in enhancing the competitiveness of the forest sector and sustaining the communities that rely on them. By adding an additional axle to the standard eight axles approved across Canada, a 9-axle B-train configuration realizes a payload increase of more than 15% and reduces pavement damage by over 5%. The payload increase translates to a reduction in energy intensity (the amount of fuel consumed per unit of payload) of between 5% and 10%, and leads to a similar reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Since larger trucks mean fewer trucks on the road, overall safety for the travelling public also is improved. 

    One of the keys to broader adoption will be the approval of numerous, connected routes in areas of B.C. with terrain that is well suited to the 9-axle B-trains. Currently, there are 24 public highway routes authorized for 9-axle B-train use. Many log hauling routes flow from forest roads to highways so both provincial highways and the connecting resource roads need to be considered. FPInnovations worked with TRAN and the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development (FLNRORD) to create a guide for the provincial highway route approval process, and for assessing the road fit and bridge sufficiency of resource road networks.

  • 100 Years Of Advocacy: CWF Continues To Unite Forest Sector

    Continuing a century-long tradition, contractors, forest managers, and woodlot owners rubbed shoulders at the annual Canadian Woodlands Forum (CWF) Spring Meeting in Moncton, N.B.

    The organization marked its 100th anniversary this year, tracing its roots back to the 1919 conception of the Woodlands Section of the former Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, which is now the Forest Products Association of Canada. Over years of industry change and restructuring, the CWF organization has remained committed to sustainable forest management and efficient, profitable woodlands operations.

    “The object of the former Woodlands Section still serves us well today. We have the privilege of carrying on that original mandate, yes, as a different organization, but still holding on to those roots of the Woodlands Section,” CWF executive director Peter Robichaud told CFI. “We are challenged with similar issues: labour issues, operations or environmental issues. Things are always changing with new technologies to work with and different people and governments, protocols and social licence, so we have to stay on top of those.”

  • K100 Heavy Duty Swivels

    Indexator’s new generation of hose swivels – the K100. With its ball-free design the swivel withstands heavy side loads and peak pressure while eliminating the problem with twisting hoses.

    Hydraulic hoses are sensitive for twisting and only a few degrees of twist can reduce hose life by up to 90 %. The elimination of twists increases hydraulic hose life time substantially.
