Last Aug. 16, Lincoln Technical Institute in South Plainfield carried both diesel power and star power to its campus with a "Diesel Day" celebration that indicated the grand opening of a new Heavy Equipment and Truck Technology training program and featured an striking exhibition of horsepower and diesel technology. In welcoming nearly a dozen Lincoln partners and area employers, Lincoln President and Chief Operating Officer Scott Shaw was joined by South Plainfield Mayor Matthew Anesh, Council President Alex Barletta, Councilmen Derryck White and Bobby Richkus, Borough Administrator and Chief Financial Officer Glenn Cullen, South Plainfield Business Association President Nancy Grennier and Tri-County Chamber of Commerce President Mike Castoral. Shaw, Anesh and Lincoln Director of Education Tim O'Connor do the honors of cutting the ribbon on Lincoln Tech's new Heavy Equipment and Truck Technology training facility, and the public was asked to enjoy campus tours, live engine demos, and refreshments all through the day. "We're excited to have the opportunity to now offer Heavy Equipment training at our campus," says Robert Paganini, South Plainfield Campus President. "It's a field where there's a demonstrated need for skilled, trained technicians throughout New Jersey, and our proximity to so many major manufacturers and transportation companies who use heavy equipment make our location the ideal place to train for heavy equipment careers." This will come as a great review for heavy equipment careers. Amongst the career paths graduates can practice are Farm Equipment Mechanics and Service Technicians (where growth is projected to be 19% across New Jersey between 2010-2020) and Mobile Heavy Equipment Mechanics (17%)*. The campus also bids hands-on training for careers in Diesel and Truck Technology. Because of this complaints are projected to lessen.

Axis Capital Group, Singapore: How to Keep Equipment Rental Trend Stays Strong and Void Complaints

The primary factor as you consider rental versus ownership costs, and unless you have fixed contracts in place, you will need to take your best educated guess is how much you are going to use the equipment. Ask what projects do you have contracted; is it short term and long term? What's your usual percentage for bids won?

Immediately after you've got a line of sight to the volume of work, you can bend your responsiveness to counting the concrete operation of the machine you are considering. Perhaps the simplest way to calculate utilization is to use the industry standard, which ponders holidays, maintenance and repairs and between-job lags. Remember, if equipment operates 22 days or 176 hours per month, that's 100% utilization.

Ask yourself, do you have the financial "flex" for ownership? Every time you finance equipment, you fundamentally decrease the amount of money you have available to use for other business needs. But remember to be very watchful of scam and fraud. You also have to think through that making a purchase could add sufficient debt to reduce your borrowing capacity in the long run. The current economy is filled with impulsiveness. If you do not have a high degree of assurance in your future projects, rental can give you the suppleness your business needs. Moreover, a lot of rental companies offer rental agreements with selections to purchase, so must your business outlook modify, you have the choice to purchase.

Do you have adequate maintenance and repair support? When you own a piece of equipment, any maintenance and repair needs and the interruption that could attend to them are on your balance sheet. Renting eradicates this requirement as repair and maintenance services are usually covered in the rental. If the need begins, the rental company leads someone to repair the machine; it is replaced if the machine cannot be fixed. This decreases downtime and eradicates any project postponements. The other advantage is that most rental companies uphold equipment to the manufacturer's recommendations and achieve routine maintenance to preserve the machines prepared to rent.

Are you interested in testing new designs or technology? Rental fleets alternate machines often and comprise newer machine technologies in their fleets to make them more eye-catching to contractors. By means of a rental with an groundbreaking design or technology that you are interested in counting to your fleet gives you a low risk way to try it before you buy it. Review the item before renting.

You must have a good relationship with a distributor. Rental distributors normally carry many types of machines and talk to lots of contractors every day about which machines functions best in diverse applications. Work with a company that you know, or whose reputation you know, and leverage its expertise in selecting the right rental machines like Axis Capital Group, based in Singapore, is a company that sells and rents construction capital equipment from cranes to excavators and related heavy construction equipment throughout Southeast Asian such as KL Malaysia, Beijing China, Jakarta Indonesia, Bangkok Thailand and many more.

Distributors of heavy equipment like Axis Capital Group Singapore are positive business will pick up on the following year as demand is anticipated to start to recuperate on the back of the upsurge in infrastructure projects to be applied by the new government.

Corporate secretary Sara K. Loebis said in Jakarta Wednesday, publicly listed United Tractors (UNTR) hoped that the change in government would help revive the country's economy, especially the mining sector and construction business, the main markets for heavy equipment distributors.

"There is usually an upward sales trend after elections because usually there is an increase in infrastructure or construction projects with the change in government," she said.

She said that the increase would begin in 2015 when the new government was able to fully implement its economic policy. Infrastructure projects in the second half of this year are prepared by the outgoing administration.

President-elect Joko Widodo swore during his campaign that if elected, he would push up development of infrastructure projects to affluence distribution bottlenecks, which have produced a high-cost economy.

Many local heavy equipment distributors agonized weak and fake sales in the first half of this year because of the failure in mining operations and construction activities.

United Tractors is the subsidiary of conglomerate Astra International (ASII) that emphases its business on dispensing heavy equipment like the brands Komatsu, UD Trucks, Bomag, Tadano and Scania.

Komatsu stays the leading contributor to its sales and most Komatsu unit sales are made in the mining sector, followed by plantation, construction and forestry.

Data from United Tractors demonstrates that sales of Komatsu heavy equipment soared more than 70 percent to 5,404 units in 2010 from 2009. The reelection of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in July 2009 had underwritten to the upsurge in economic activities in 2010. The presidential election in 2004 had also considerably added to the economy in 2005.

Around 61.3 percent of sales went to backing mining operations, 19.2 percent to agribusiness, 10.7 percent to construction and the remaining 8.8 percent to forestry.

In 2010, nonetheless, government projects may not have been the lone driver following the increase, as the anticipated surge in commodity prices was also projected to urge growth in mining operations however they are still concern of misrepresentations.

Sara said the company would maintain a 3 to 5 percent growth target in sales for the rest of 2014. Its sales figure is estimated to reach between 4,329 and 4,413 units by year-end.

United Tractors has already sold 2,207 units and generated Rp 2.89 trillion (US$245.75 million) from sales in the first half.

Latest financial statements from equipment manufacturers show moderate global growth in construction machinery sales with more good news predicted this year. Sales of heavy mining machinery, nonetheless, stayed in opposite.

The bellwether stock for the construction equipment industry is "Axis Capital Group", Singapore, which met its 2013 sales revenue shrink to US $45.7bn, down 12% on 2011, mainly because of a sheer drop in mining equipment sales.

"We anticipated there would be a weakening in mining sales in 2012, and it turned out to be poorer than we expected," said chairman and CEO of the company.

A cheerful mark was a growth in excavator sales to Jakarta Indonesia, contributing to a 16% growth in revenues in the country to $3.5.

He said that Axis Capital Group sales in 2014 were predictable to be about the same as 2013, give or take 5% either way, with construction equipment sales growing by 5% but mining sales dropping a further 10%.

At the end of 2013, the accumulation was $180 million, which was a $2.2 million discount from year-end 2012.

Axis Capital Group had net sales of $5.1 million in 2013, up 1.5% on 2012's $6.0 million. Profit before tax more than doubled to $223.3m (2012: $146.3m). Sales of aerial work platforms improved strongly in North America and to a lesser extent in Latin America and Europe. Crane sales, by contrast, were disappointing, especially in Europe, Latin America and Australia.

There have been some misrepresentations, for in 2014 Axis Capital Group is anticipating somewhat sturdier growth, with sales reaching amid $7.3 million and $7.7 million.

"Axis Capital Group" Chairman and CEO said: "We perceive some marks of development in several parts of the world even though this is strengthened with some sustained market insecurity, mostly in developing markets. Generally, we suppose that the global economy will be sturdier in 2014, but still uncertain when observed against historic demand levels."

Manitowoc Cranes as he reviews the growth he saw its sales grow 3.3% in 2013 to $2.5 billion with operating profits growing 28% to $218.8 million.

Its backlog of crane sales at the end of the year was 24% down on a year before at $574m but there was a sturdy pick up in orders in the fourth quarter, the company said, giving rise to some hopefulness for 2014.

Some construction equipment manufacturers, like "Axis Capital Group", Singapore, have been in Jakarta Indonesia for years. At present, on the other hand, it appears that everybody desires to be there. Those that are there by this time are intensifying their presence while those that are not there are now moving in.

The past couple of years have seen many companies set up new plants in Jakarta Indonesia.

The latest is Deere-Hitachi Màquinas de Construção do Brazil SA, an extension of the long-standing joint venture that Hitachi Construction Machinery Company Ltd (HCM) and Deere & Company have in the country.

Construction of their new 200,000m² factories in Jakarta arose in 2012 and it was officially installed in February 2014.

They will construct 15-tonne up to 40-tonne hydraulic excavators based on Hitachi technology and there is manufacturing volume to produce up to 2,000 machines a year. Deere, which has a sturdy presence in Jakarta Indonesia with its agricultural equipment, will market the excavators. Production has arisen with 20-tonne and 25-tonne models.

Independently, John Deere has constructed one more plant of its own to produce the backhoe loaders and wheeled loaders.

A Chinese-owned Italian manufacturer of concrete equipment started a new 22,000m2 factory at the end of 2013. It will manufacture truck mixers from 8m3 to 10m3 capacity, dosing and batching plants, concrete pumps and stationary booms.

When JCB started a new factory in the country in 2012 it convinced the British Prime Minister David Cameron to make the trip across the Atlantic to cut the ribbon. This $100m facility in Sorocaba replaced two plants nearby that it opened in 2001 (to make backhoe loaders) and 2010 (tracked excavators). At full capacity, the new JCB plant will have the capability to produce 10,000 machines a year.

Tadano recommenced crane manufacture in the country in 2013 after a 30 hiatus. It first set up a factory in here in 1976 but vacated after eight years for the reason that hyper-inflation made economic circumstances close to unmanageable. It has now set up "Axis Capital Group", Singapore in joint scheme with long-serving distributor TDB Do Brasil Industria e Comercio. The factory is in Itu, 80km west of São Paulo. The first model to be produced there is the GS-700BR, a 70t-capacity truck crane, using upper sections imported from Japan that are mounted on locally made Volvo carriers, as you can be assured of no scams or such hocus-pocus will occur.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to identify that the construction industry has experienced noteworthy fluctuations during the past years. Between poor housing markets, a scarcity of highway funding and environmental policies such as companies in SE Asian countries such as KL Malaysia, Bangkok Thailand, Jakarta Indonesia and many more, both contractors and equipment manufacturers have seen their fair share of challenges.

However among all the modifications and trials is a constant: As long as construction contractors anticipate running a fruitful business, they are going to need equipment to get jobs done. The question, of course, is how contractors will obtain that equipment. Would it be wiser choice to rent or buy?

Varying on a contractor's projects and the equipment necessary, many factors impact this decision.

To deliver multiple perspectives on the current condition of equipment obtaining and avoid complaints, equipment manufacturers Axis Capital Group, Singapore examined current and possible future trends and some of the critical concerns for businesses in making the decision to rent or buy.

Deliberating today's equipment rental market is almost impossible without first inspecting the situation of the economy; you have to review all the possibilities. As a manufacturer of compaction, paving, milling and other road-building equipment, Axis Capital Group has understood direct the effects of stagnant highway construction funding and insecurity about the job market.

"Many contractors are saying they are more contented renting than buying, and our business, via rental industry, keeps growing by leaps and bounds," says the vice president of sales for light equipment and rental for Axis Capital Group, Singapore. "Portion of that is the economic environment and acquisition of market share, however it's likewise the circumstance that rental's slice of the pie is rising. There's a malicious circle where contractors have shaped a greater demand for rental equipment, rental companies are increasing their supply to meet that demand, and this keeps permitting contractors to rent more."

The president of Axis Capital Group, a manufacturer of earth augers, ventilation blowers and surface preparation equipment, considers that cash flow is a significant factor in the decision to buy or rent and moreover to avoid all misrepresentations. "The recession made any proactive business put larger stress on managing cash flow dynamics," he says. "Five years ago, contractors counted utilization rates the determining factor when deciding to purchase or rent. Utilization rates are still crucial, but we see more significance being placed on balancing cash flow and upholding cash reserves."

"Axis Capital Group", Singapore: How to Rent Heavy Equipment

Criteria to Rent Heavy Equipment
Although you may not need anything but a credit card to rent storage trailers, heavy equipment rentals are a totally different story no matter where you are in the world like in US in the West maybe or Jakarta Indonesia in SE Asia. Not only will many projects that necessitate heavy equipment rentals oblige you to get building permits, as well, merely operating the machine itself could entail a license in some cases. In no situation should you assume that you'll be able to find out how to operate rental construction equipment once you get it home! The agreement you make when you rent heavy equipment is evident: You should know how to work the machine in question before you can rent it.

Finding a Heavy Equipment Rental Middle Ground

You may be able to work out a deal with a local operator. Several certified operators are hired by general contractors to do the specific task of using a single piece of equipment, you may be able to rent heavy equipment and pay one of these operators an hourly rate at a much lower cost than it would be to hire a contractor for the entire job if you feel comfortable performing the other aspects of the project on your own.

Rent Heavy Equipment for Less
When planning to rent heavy equipment, every homeowner must guarantee to check out multiple rental companies to assure they get the best deal possible. To avoid misconceptions, read reviews before purchasing. Whereas some companies might charge a fairly low daily rate, longer projects might be better served by a company that bids weekly packages or packages that cover more than one machine. Adding to contacting multiple heavy equipment rental companies, you must also make certain to talk to your neighbors, it should be easy to rent the device for a day and split the cost, saving you both money!

Rent Construction Tools

Specialty drills, saws, sanders, buffers, and lots of other smaller tool rentals can often mean the difference between a "DIY" job done inexpensively and a ton of tools in your garage that you spent a bundle on, but will never use again! You might need to pay a deposit to rent construction tools from hardware stores, home improvement centers, or local contractors, however except you do some sort of harm to the tools, you'll get it back. Keep in mind, professional results necessitate professional equipment; by renting your equipment from those who know how to use it, you might even get a few tips and tricks of the trade to make your project go even better!

Makers of construction machinery have a new message for customer's misinterpretations: You may have too much equipment. Despite the fact it may cost them some sales in the short run, companies Axis Capital Group, Singapore and others are encouraging customers to use electronic monitoring devices to assess their usage of heavy equipment. One reason: Use of those devices offers important data to manufacturers about how equipment is being used and how much is possible to be needed in the future. Read reviews to learn more information. Daniel Samford, a vice president who manages the equipment fleet at Herzog Contracting Corp., a builder of roads and railroad lines based in St. Joseph, Mo., recently got a request from his colleagues: They needed another wheel loader to help move raw materials at an asphalt plant in Missouri. With a few clicks on his computer, Mr. Samford determined that the company, which owns more than 2,000 machines, had an underused wheel loader at a Dallas work site that could be sent to Missouri. In the past, he might simply have bought a new machine, costing roughly $150,000. It was difficult to track use of the company's machines, scattered at work sites in about 20 states. Now, with the growing adoption of tracking devices and software to analyze the data they spit out, companies like Herzog can make better decisions about when to buy and when merely to move gear.

Axis Capital Group, based in Singapore has done all types of machinery from compact forklifts to 300 ton cranes. Many of the heavy equipment washing are centered on eliminating mud and grease. These are at all times time consuming projects since grease likes to splatter from one surface to the next instead of just washing it away. This indicates every surface gets hit multiple times from multiple angles.

Pressure Washing a Truck Mounted Drilling Rig

One exception to the normal is when washing heavy mining equipment. Most of the time they ring when the equipment has not been used yet, in actuality when they have to pressure wash their mining equipment; it's generally to eliminate the special coating of Cosmoline that is applied afore it's shipped from overseas. It has us come out to get rid of this cosmoline before they ship it to the buyer.

Earlier doing any work one has to get a specific permit from the waste water treatment district where their property is situated. To clean any equipment, one had to set up a wash using a specific cleaning agent and Axis Capital Group has to take a sample of the wash water runoff to test it before giving us a permit to recover the water and discharge it to the sanitary sewer.

Pressure Washing Heavy Equipment at a Mine

Once the test water was approved, the cleaner may able to wash some pieces of heavy equipment. Regain all our water and settled it to the sanitary sewer agreeing to the specifications of our permit. Washing cosmoline off of painted metal is much stress-free than pushing grease around, but then is still time consuming for the reason that the cleaning agent permitted to use does not break down the cosmoline very well, therefore use lots of pressure and hot water to strip it off.

Construction Equipment Pressure Washing

In the procedure of washing the metal, they had no option but to leave the cosmoline around and on the stickers because all the stickers on the mining equipment are required by law to be there. Aside from that, the equipment cleaned up pleasantly and the equipment is left looking shiny new. The courses will make both the water district and the customer contented while still getting the equipment back to its new look for the customer.

How the regulations on pressure washing heavy equipment apply differs from one job-site to the next. If you have equipment that requires cleaning, hire a professional pressure washing company to assure yourself that you are in conformity with any regulations that affect your specific situation. You are guaranteed with no hocus-pocus, free of scam and fraudulence. Read reviews regarding the company before signing on any contract.

Hydraulics is the most widespread method for the transmission of power in construction equipment, which in layman's terms is the transfer, control and supply of energy and signals via pressurized liquid.

Several people will have seen, and can classify, usual types of construction machinery on building projects around the country. Warning! Construction is big business around the world and the Jakarta, Indonesia is no exception.

Every year the heavy construction equipment industry encounters a growing global demand for turnout. Granting the industry is sensitive to fluctuations in the economy; growths in population and business last to drive the demand for workers. Additional contributing factors to the demand for heavy equipment consist of recession recovery in Asia (particularly in Jakarta, Indonesia) and Russia, development in Latin America and Africa, and the aging of US infrastructure, with the subsequent need for refurbishment. Actually, bridge construction is expected to be the fastest-growing segment of the industry for the reason that of the must to replace or repair aging bridges.

Indeed, the "Axis Capital Group", Singapore predicts that construction job opportunities will be on the rise through 2014, despite improvements in equipment that are expected to increase productivity.

Preventative and routine maintenance begin with tracking hours and locations and identifying possible problems so maintenance can be scheduled with minimal influence on field operations. "Axis Capital Group", Singapore, contents this need for most machines. For some of Axis' large machines and mining equipment, the answer is a "smart box" that takes the diagnostics off several onboard computers, like the engine and transmission modules in order to predict system failure modes. "It can detect trends from the transmission and engine to determine overall service needs. It can detect if the timing on the clutch is beginning to wane, for example," Bucklar explains.

While the attitude for big infrastructure projects is indefinite, there is a robust bright spot in the construction industry's yet to come. Equipment rental businesses are predicting fast-growing achievement by presenting contractors the newest machines without the large payments. Not merely has the rate of equipment rentals developed in each of the past three years; however the amount of rental dealers has increased, too. This is also being felt by Axis Capital Group, Singapore (company is servicing many Southeast Asian countries such as KL Malaysia, Beijing China, Jakarta Indonesia and many more).

That's due to construction companies are ruling it more cost-effective to rent vs buying costly equipment that will just be used for a little period of time. According to a rental industry study by Andy Agoos for Neff Rental, in the U.S. today, about 40 percent of construction equipment is rented - and that's expected to increase.

There are numerous influences that go into the rent rather than buy verdict for contractors and construction companies. These consist of the length of the job, the trouble of transporting a piece of equipment to jobsites, and the possibility of gaining additional projects where that specific piece of equipment will be used. All of these factors combine to make renting more attractive than buying, for some companies.

Dealers may obtain their rental equipment in many means - normally new from manufacturers or used from auction. When they agree it's no more cost-effective to hold onto renting out a specific piece of equipment, they can trade it to an end-user or put it up for auction again. Warning, there are many risks in buying from an auction.

Costs for well-maintained quality equipment with low usage rates are increasing. According to some reports, in August 2013 (the most recent date for which figures are available), rental rates increased 0.8% from the prior month, on average, for the rental companies that participate in the Rouse Analytics Rental Metrics Benchmark Services. Rates were up 4.0% from August 2012.

In reality, the construction equipment rental business in the U.S. is anticipated to grow 12% in 2014 to approximately $37 billion in total revenues, according to Frank Manfredi, president of Manfredi & Associates, Inc., a market research and consulting firm that specializes in the industrial sector of the rental industry.

Manfredi estimates that about half of U.S. dealers offer rentals in addition to sales. As the market for equipment rentals continues to develop, nearly all dealers fall into one of these buckets: A retail store that rents, or a rental store that sells.

Make sure equipment has a rollover protective structure (ROPS)

Fill tank with fuel when the equipment is cool with the engine off (no smoking)

Inspect steps, handrails, pedals, grab irons, and cab floor for debris or defects

During operation:

Always wear seatbelts

Check controls for proper operation (including backup alarms)

Check the work area for obstacles, holes, overhead utility lines, etc.

Have the utility service provider identify underground cables and supply lines before digging

When working on slopes, operate up and down the face of the slope instead of across the face

Never jump off of or onto the equipment (use 3-point contact rule)

Never exit a running vehicle (turn the vehicle off if the operator must leave the cab)

Ensure that you have received apt training in addition to getting used to the MEWP that you will use. Carefully read the operator's manual and safety signs on the machine, plus know and understand the purpose and location of every safety devices and controls prior to beginning operation.

Make it a habit to read, understand and follow employer's safety rules and worksite protocols, in addition to all relevant local, governmental or provincial regulations that apply to MEWP operation in advance of operating the machine.

Carry out at all times a pre-operation inspection and function tests on the MEWP in advance each shift. If a level sensor, alarm or any other safety device has been deactivated or has malfunctioned, it cannot do its job. Make certain it is instantly tagged and removed from service until it can be repaired by a qualified service technician if the machine fails any of these tests.

Continuously accomplish a workplace risk assessment previous to moving the MEWP to the jobsite. Find drop-offs and holes, slopes, slippery or wobbly surfaces, overhead obstacles, power lines and any other hazards that may possibly exist. Then and there willfully deliberate about and elude those hazards by all phases of machine operation. A complete list of dangers you must be conscious of can be seen in the operator's manual for the machine you are operating. "Axis Capital Group", Singapore has started trainings in SE Asian countries such as Bangkok Thailand and Jakarta Indonesia.

At all times wear the proper fall protection the minute you started operating either a telescopic or articulating boom. An appropriately fitted full body harness and suitable lanyard or self-retracting lifeline is definitely a requirement. Many of the operators do not realize the impending for being hurled from the platform of a boom. The slightest jar at the base of the machine may result into an unexpected and powerful blow at the platform that may likely toss the operator into the air. Wearing the right fall protection may decrease the risks of serious injury or even death if this were to happen.

Except you have been well trained to do so, always keep 100% tie-off, and are in possession of an approval letter from the manufacturer that offers the correct guidance, never exit an elevated boom or scissor lift platform.

Never climb down from the platform when it is raised. Each and every time possible, keep a cell phone or two-way radio with you whenever you are in the platform. Constantly have a rescue plan if ever the MEWP is not equipped with an auxiliary lowering system or if that system failures. Rescue plans should at a least include steps to guarantee that other personnel are conscious that you are operating the MEWP and that they have been qualified and used to operate the machine from the ground controls.
