A powered industrial truck used to lift and transport material, usually in construction sites, a forklift is an expensive piece of equipment. Forklifts, also called lift trucks, are now also increasingly being used in warehouses and shipping terminals.

With new forklifts being extremely expensive to purchase, most companies in the United States decide to buy used forklifts. Buying used forklifts is not a difficult task, as there are many establishments who are ready to sell used forklifts to interested parties at a reasonable rate. Before buying a used forklift, it is advisable to ascertain the type of forklift you require for your needs. For example, do you require an extremely powerful forklift with electric pallet jacks or would a more compact forklift with manual pallet jacks be more suitable? Also, is your forklift to be used in a construction site, or a warehouse? It is important to answer these questions beforehand, so that you can buy the most suitable used forklift for your company’s work.

When buying used forklifts, it is essential to buy from a reliable forklift supplier that will help and guide you in choosing the right used forklifts for your business. You should research the market to find out which establishments sell used forklifts. After short listing the establishments where suitable forklifts are available, personally check and inspect whether the used forklifts are free of defects. Finally, try and negotiate a good price with the seller. Ideally, look to buy a used forklift of a reputed brand name for about half its sale price. This is important because the life span of a used forklift would be shorter than that of a new forklift, and moreover, if you are to further sell the forklift in a couple of years, you will get a very low price for it.

If you have carefully chosen your used forklift, then you can expect it to give you good service for a number of years. This is because most forklifts are designed for work in tough conditions. However, you must not forget to have regular maintenance of your used forklift, so that it remains in good working order.

Now, to get yourself to the levels needed to make your POH work for you. Training Construction is expensive, but luckily you do not need 80+ Con to enjoy a great POH! A good starting goal is an Eagle Lectern (level 67, or 58 with saw and stew). The only things left are a million dollar altar that you can find for free in the Event’s forum, or a wicked dungeon for fun with your friends. If you so desire, these tips will get you there as well Log Collecting: The first thing you will need are Normal, Oak, Teak, or Mahogany logs. If you wish to bank them first, please see the WC post for some excellent ways to get your logs. Alternate ways to collect Teak and Mahogany are by using your Kingdom, or by killing Cave Horrors which do drop noted and unnoted logs. If you want to save the time wasted banking, we here are the best ways for your medium and high level training.

Construction finance is one of the major concerns of any firm hoping to succeed in the industry. The problem is not just of the quantity but also the quality. Things are made more complex by the laws of the land, the state of the economy, but most importantly by the imperative of minimizing cost.

There all types of construction enterprises- from sole proprietorships to large multi-nationals. Funds are available from various sources and quite naturally large corporations mange to raise the most and of the best quality as well. Construction Loans are of two types:

Short Term
Long Term

Very often firms have requirements of short term funding to overcome immediate cash shortfalls. These pertain to the hiring of plant, purchase of material, and labour wages to be paid to workers. This is where short term finance is necessary

Long term finance comes into play when capital is required for a period ranging between 5 to 10 years. This may pertain to starting a business or carrying out expansion. In the main the capital is deployed in setting up plant, buildings and equipment. Because of the long term implications the lender has to exercise due caution as the risk is greater.

There are various sources of finance available to the construction industry. These are as follows:

Shares- Shares are held by individuals or entities as the legal right of their ownership of the firm to the extent of the value of the shares. This is the best type of funding, as both the profits and losses are shared in proportionate measure by all the shareholders, and there is no pressure of repayment as in the case of loans. A new or a fresh issue of sales infuses fresh capital into the firm.
Debentures- These are loans taken by the firm from different individuals or entities. These vary from conventional loans as the rate of interest is fixed and the repayment date too is decided in advance.
Bank Loans- They are rather difficult to obtain, particularly by construction firms. They will invariably ask the borrowing firm to meet part of the requirement from their own resources, and the rates of interest too are high.
Internal Accruals- Sometimes profits are ploughed back into the business to fund expansion and other activities.
Bank Overdrafts- This is a facility provided by commercial banks to firms of good standing to overdraw on their account to a certain extent upon the payment of a rate of interest. As soon the money is returned, the interest stops being levied and the account operates normally like before.
Creditors- Funds flow can be substantially augmented if the firm can get easy repayment terms from their creditors, and if at the same time their debtors pay up on time. The construction industry is particularly suited to this time of arrangement, since receipts from clients are linked to stages in completion of work. Most construction firms have started using Cash Flow Forecasting software to get a fix on their exact funding requirements.
Short Term Loans- These can be obtained from individuals, banks, and other financial institutions. Since they are needed as working capital, they carry a fixed rate of interest on the total sum and cannot be recalled prior to the due date.
Corporate Tax Provision- Tax is usually paid one year down the line. This frees up the money for that period of time.
Depreciation- This is a bookkeeping exercise by which the initial value of an asset is written off over its life cycle. This too can be regarded as a source of capital. That is because if no depreciation were to be written off greater profits would be available to the shareholders. This is a reserve created by depreciating fixed assets, and is similar in nature to retaining earnings. Of course this will require the preparation of two sets of accounts. One for taxation purposes, and the other for internal consumption.

These days more and more construction firms are resorting to investment appraisal techniques to gauge their requirement of finance. This assumes great significance in light of the fact that they are able to bid more effectively for projects, buy using this kind of calibrated costing. Typically in such an analysis only the incremental expenditure and receipts directly emanating from this project being eyed should be considered.

We can see that construction finance is perhaps one of the most important factors, if not the number one factor in deciding the viability of a project. The present times are particularly challenging because of the paucity of funding available, and also the far greater scrutiny funding of any type is subject to these days. It is therefore contingent upon the firm seeking finance to do its homework right, and present a watertight case for itself, in order to be able to secure the requisite amount of funding.

Commercial Energy Performance Certificates are now mandatory for the sale or lease and On Construction (New Build) commercial property (On Construction EPC). Business owners are now required to obtain an Energy Certificate before the property is marketed for sale or for lettings. This will include new property developments for business premises, for example manufacturing/industrial units and offices for sale or let.

The EU directive is now applicable to all property in the UK including England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and, if a building which is surveyed contains air conditioning equipment, this will also require inspection as part of the survey process.

Commercial EPC (Commercial Energy Performance Certificate) will require the services of a Commercial Energy Assessor for Business property. The Energy Assessor must be qualified and accredited as an NDEA (Non-Domestic Energy Assessor). The inspection is more complex than a domestic assessment, as more data is required to be collected on site for input into specialist software known as iSBEM. The building is required to be “zoned” into separate areas dependent on activity (or use) and input separately in to the SBEM software. The more complex the building, then the likelyhood that there will be more zones,and, thus as a consequence the price structure is much higher than producing a Domestic EPC.

As per Domestic property the report contains recommendations provided with an EPC. The recommendations are advisory only, the property owner is not obliged to carry out the advice provided on the report.

Official accreditation bodies include e.g. ABBE, NHER, Quidos, Stroma, ECMK. Various registers and directory sites are available on the web to help you find a local energy surveyor/consultant. Large Air conditioning systems will require the services of an Air Conditioning Energy Assessor.

The main exemption from having a Commercial EPC is that if the property is 50 sq m or less then the building is exempt. However, there are other exemptions.

Commercial EPC’s utilise SBEM calculation tools to determine the EPC rating and recommendations report for commercial buildings, if you are the asset owner or agent acting on behalf of a client you must obtain both the EPC and Recommendations Report.

History Founding
From its inception, the Euclid Company of Ohio, specialised in off-road heavy haulers, that were designed from the ground up, as off-road haulers – as compared to other companies, that just modified OTR trucks for off-road earth-hauling.
The Euclid Crane and Hoist Co, owned by George A. Armington and his 5 sons, was already a big, well-respected and profitable operation, when, in 1924, they introduced the Euclid Automatic Rotary Scraper – followed shortly after, by the Euclid Wheeler (wheeled) scraper. These earthmoving items were thought up by Georges eldest son, Arthur, who was convinced a good future lay in designing earthmoving equipment, and who steered the company into the earthmoving field. The two models of scrapers were a resounding success, and a third model, the Euclid Contractors Special, was even more successful, as it was designed to cope with hard ground.
Arthur and his father had even built a successful prototype crawler, and tested it on the family farm, just prior to this, but the crawler idea was dropped, for reasons unknown. The success of the scrapers led to the formation of the Road Machinery Division, of Euclid Crane and Hoist, in 1926. Big public works construction programs of 1927 and 1928, requiring huge amounts of soil to be shifted, saw to the further success of the Euclid Road Machinery division.
Euclid produced crawler wagons on tracks (similar to Athey Wagons) known as Euclid Tu-Way haulers. The crawler track speed restriction was seen as a problem, and the next version was on steel wheels, for improved speed. George Armington Jr was a keen hydraulics designer, and produced the first hydraulic Euclid dumpers around 1930. Great Depression
The Great Depression did not appear to affect Euclid greatly, and the expansion of the earthmoving side of the Euclid business, led to the incorporation of the Euclid Road Machinery Co, on July 11, 1931. This company remained a subsidiary of the Euclid Armington Corp, until Jan 1, 1933, when the companies were separated – and Euclid Road Machinery, set out on a dedicated path of producing fast, off-road earthmoving haulers.
The Euclid company produced its first, dedicated, and specifically designed, 7 yard (6.4 m) long, off-road dump truck, the Model 1Z, in Jan 1934. It was powered by a 100HP Waukesha gasoline engine. It used a specially designed, extremely heavy duty, Euclid rear axle, fitted with a new 17.5 x 24 tire, which had just been released by the tire industry. Although Mack had produced a 14 yard (12.8 m) long, Heavy Duty, off-road hauler, in 1931, specifically for the Boulder Dam project (the Model AP Super-Duty) – it was basically a beefed-up, road-going, chain-drive AC Bulldog Mack.
The next Euclid design, was an articulated, tractor/trailer style (in the style of the Caterpillar DW10), bottom dumper. This was known as the Model Z or ZW. Company expansion
From these early machines, Euclid went on to produce thousands of off-road haulers and scrapers, of ever-improving and larger design and became a large corporation by the early 1950s. The early 1950s was a period of great expansion and company mergers, and in 1953, the Euclid Corporation was purchased by General Motors, in what the leaders of both companies saw, as an advantageous deal, with complementary product lines. This deal came about, due to GM’s already awakened desire to enter into the earthmoving manufacturing field and the realisation by the Armington family, that a GM takeover would provide capital and design ability that they could only dream about. The GM takeover deal was announced on September 30, 1953, with the official takeover date being January 1, 1954.
Arthur Armington had died suddenly in 1937, leading to a stumble in Euclids fortunes – but George Armington only died in 1954, at the age of 89, after overseeing the highly satisfying and successful sale of Euclid to GM. Sons Stuart & Everett Armington retired in 1953, and George Jr retired in 1958 – with the youngest son Ray, being the last Armington to retire in 1960, after 7 years as General Manager of GM’s Euclid Division.
The 1950s and 1960s were good years for Euclid Trucks. Euclid produced the industry’s first 50 ton, 3 axle dump truck, with twin Cummins power, in 1951. Euclid produced two and three axle dump trucks with capacities up to 105 tons, in this period – with some of the largest three axle units, being used as tractors for even larger end dumps, and bottom dump haulers. Anti-trust lawsuit
However, in 1959, the Department of Justice under Attorney General William P. Rogers initiated an anti-trust suit, under the Clayton Act, against General Motors Corporation – charging that GM was too dominant, and its business methods were stifling genuine competition, in the off-road hauler and earthmoving market. GM fought the suit for 8 years, finally surrendering in 1968, by agreeing to sell the Euclid Division of GM.
After the anti-trust litigation, and the sale of Euclid to White Motor Corporation, GM formed its own Terex brand. Under the sale agreement with White Motor Corporation, GM was not allowed to produce trucks in competition with White Motor Corporation for 4 years from July 1, 1968 to July 1, 1972. GM could produce off-road haul trucks in this period – but could not sell them in the U.S. GM equipment dealers in the U.S. were offered a franchise deal from White Motor Corporation, to sell the White/Euclid line of trucks, for a period of 4 years. The international Euclid dealerships were still owned by GM – thus forcing White Motor Corporation to commence the formation of all new international dealerships. GM produced haul trucks in the 1968-1972 period, that it had developed during its ownership of Euclid – from plants in Canada and Scotland, that it had been allowed to keep. These were sold as Terex, but were essentially the same as the Euclid line.
The Euclid Company lost its high profile, after the sale to White Motor Corporation, and never achieved the prominence that it once enjoyed before its acquisition by GM. In the 1950s when you mentioned off-road dump trucks, they were referred to as “Euc’s”, just like we say Kleenex today for tissue. Current state
After the company was purchased by Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd. it is now producing a range of models of truck under the Hitachi name (although it is still commonly branded as a Euclid and several of the components still bear the Euclid name. Castings are too expensive to change for the sake of branding. There are two classes of the machines that are currently in production – both are “rigid dumper” models (dump trucks with a rigid frame, non-articulated). The smaller construction and quarry trucks (30 ton – 90 ton) are dwarfed by the larger mining trucks in the 140ton – 450ton range.
Production was moved from Euclid, Ohio to Guelph in Ontario, Canada and carries on. The trucks are very modern and even come equipped with mufflers and computer controllers and have to meet environmental requirements for sound and exhaust emissions.
There are some trucks currently in use in mines in the United States, they can be seen in Canada at Fort McMurray, and throughout China, Australia, Africa, Indonesia and South America as well. Although the heady days of the American needs for infrastructure has abated there is still much need for infrastructure and mining.
Smaller construction trucks, of 32 tons and 36tons capacity, are being built in India by Telcon, a joint venture between Tata and Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd. from Japan. These smaller trucks are of older technology – they were previously manufactured in Poland under license from VME (Volvo Michigan Euclid). The intended market for these older technology construction trucks is India.
White sold Euclid, Inc. to Daimler Benz AG of Stuttgart, Germany in August, 1977, and in January 1984, Daimler-Benz sold Euclid to one of Euclid former competitors, Clark Equipment Company and it became part of the Clark Michigan Company, as Clark construction machinery division was then called. The following April, Clark formed a 50/50 joint venture with Sweden Volvo AB, now known as Volvo Construction Equipment to manufacture Volvo, Michigan and Euclid construction equipment under the name of VME Group NV. VME underwent several rather confusing divisions amongst its American and European operations, culminating in 1991 in the creation of a VME North Americas unit to handle only the Euclid lines.
In December 1993, VME North America entered into a joint venture of its own with Japan Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd., called Euclid-Hitachi Heavy Equipment. Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd., a manufacturer of hydraulic construction machinery like excavators and cranes, gradually increased its share of the joint venture until it owned 100% of the venture in 2000. Hitachi did obtained Euclid to fill the gap which they felt in their ability to offer a complete mining package, as mining excavators and dump trucks usually are needed in combination with each other. Euclid-Hitachi became Hitachi Construction Truck Manufacturing on January 1, 2004, and the famous Euclid green was replaced with Hitachi orange. The Euclid trade name and model nomenclature were gradually phased out by the end of the year, ending 80 years of the Euclid name appearing on construction machinery. Developments
A Euclid R60 Dump truck
The Euclid company of Euclid, OH, was synonymous with off-road haul trucks, and earthmoving equipment such as bottom dumpers, and to a lesser extent, scrapers, in the 1950s. As described in Herbert L. Nicholas’ “Moving the Earth”, now in its 5th edition, Euclid was everywhere.
GM’s work on heavy duty automatic transmissions during the Second World War, had produced the Allison heavy duty automatic in 1945 and Euclid was the first to use this transmission in heavy duty off-road dump trucks, in the late 1940s because it met the need for an industrial transmission with huge power capacity, which was eagerly being sought, as engine sizes were rapidly increasing past the point where current transmissions could not cope with the power available.
Euclid had pioneered the use of twin engines (Twin-Power) in a bottom dumper (model 50FDT-102W), in November 1948. Their first Twin-Power scraper prototype (model 51FDT-13SH) appeared in February 1949, and production model Twin-Power scrapers were released in 1950 (GM powered model 68FDT-17SH – and the Cummins powered model, 66FDT-16SH). Prior to GM’s purchase of Euclid, the preferred engine of choice, by Euclid, was Cummins diesels. However, GM’s 2-stroke Detroit Diesel was offered as an option. When GM purchased Euclid, it led to dismay at Cummins, because they could see themselves losing an important customer. The takeover led to GM engines being the engine of choice – however, the Cummins option was still available; although the Cummins engined trucks sold in lower numbers after GM took over Euclid.
Ranging from 10 to 62 ton capacity, these lumbering giants roamed the strip mines, heavy construction sites and quarries of the world. Euclid’s end dumps reached 210 tons in capacity in the 1980s.
Euclid trucks were usually loaded by cable operated crawler shovels and draglines of other manufacturers, but Euclid also developed mobile belt loaders to load its bottom dump trucks.
Another type of machine that Euclid pioneered was the high speed tractor belly dumper. This machine combined an off road tractor, with a fifth wheel, and a very large,(at that time) up to 100-ton capacity, belly dump trailer. This machine, descended from bottom dump wagons drawn by crawler tractors, discharged its load through longitudinal gates in the bottom of the trailer. The first such trucks carried 13 cubic yards, but by the early 1960s capacities reached 110 tons.
These belly dumpers, and their off-road, end dump brothers, were normally loaded by cable operated, crawler shovels of other manufacturers brands.
Euclid also manufactured wheeled tractor scrapers, such as were invented by R. G. LeTourneau (later to become LeTourneau-Westinghouse, after the purchase of LeTourneaus company by Westinghouse Air Brake) and now almost singularly manufactured by Caterpillar. Euclid’s tractor scrapers were powered by the same tractors as their belly dumps. Interestingly, Euclid was the first major manufacturer to commercialize the now ubiquitous articulated rubber tired loader; the mainstay of many heavy equipment manufacturers nowadays, particularly Caterpillar.
