    "Finning already has a productive and mutually beneficial relationship with Weiler and we look forward to growing that relationship through distributing this portfolio of machines for the forestry industry through our extensive dealer networks in Canada and South America," said Juan Carlos Villegas, COO of Finning International.

Finning will work to distribute Weiler's purpose built-forestry machines including wheel skidders, track feller bunchers, wheel feller bunchers and knuckleboom loaders while continuing to provide Cat's® forestry excavators designed for log loading, processing and other forestry applications. Weiler's product offering is complementary to other specialty forestry lines already offered through Finning.

"We will work with Caterpillar and Weiler during their transition to ensure a seamless customer experience."

    Canada’s Building Trades Unions (CBTU) is looking forward to working with the new Ministers, following Justin Trudeau’s latest Cabinet shuffle.

    CBTU is pleased that Prime Minister Trudeau kept familiar faces within areas that are important to the Building Trades Unions.  “We have been big advocates for pipeline construction, protection of Canadian jobs within negotiated trade agreements, community benefits and project labour agreements with public infrastructure projects.  So, to have familiar faces in these ministries are welcomed,” says Robert Blakely, Canadian Operating Officer for Canada’s Building Trades Unions.  “Minister Sohi, Minister Champagne, and Minister Carr have been tremendous supporters of our causes within the Trudeau Government and we are looking forward to moving files collaboratively in their new respective department,” says Blakely.

  • Challenges & Benefits of Using GNSS-Based 3D Machine Control

    The global construction sector is one of the world’s largest manufacturing industries. However, it is also one of the least automated. Smarter technologies and automation, including 3D positioning and guidance, is a key factor to automating the industry, to increase productivity and deliver incredible ROI for contractors.

    Traditionally, when a construction site was ready for grading, a surveyor would first stake grade level points. Afterwards, heavy machinery would come in and grade to the levels of the stakes, oftentimes accidentally removing stakes along the way. Although this method worked, technology has evolved to make the process simpler, safer, and more efficient.

    With the advent of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)-based (3D) machine control & guidance technology, heavy machinery can be equipped with all of the required components on the machine itself. A machine equipped with an entire system eliminates guesswork between stake points and cut/fill can be performed in real time, increasing job accuracy, productivity, and efficiency.
