A visit to Abu Dhabi is incomplete if you have not stopped by the charming Heritage VillageIt is serenely positioned overlooking the Corniche, near Abu Dhabi’s Breakwater and only a short distance away from the imposing Marina Mall.

Visitors can guage some inkling of what life was like for Abu Dhabi’s Bedouin by viewing a reconstruction of their traditional desert encampment – including a goat’s hair tent and a campfire with coffee pots.

The Heritage Village also features a reconstruction of the “old well and irrigation system, mud-brick houses, old fishing villages and suoqs (bazaars).”

Quite interestingly the Heritage Village features several workshops that simulate old-fashioned metal work, the heritage village craftsmen often let visitors try their hand on such skills.

A spice shop within the Heritage Village treats the visitor’s culinary senses and a small souvenir also shop sells handicraft items. A mini-museum featuring artefacts such as diving tools, jewellery, weapons and coffee pots, amongst others, rounds up the Heritage Village experience.

There are no restrictions for photography here. Therefore, visitors are encouraged to keep their camera handy for photo opportunities with the friendly local craftsmen amidst their exotic landscape.

Another popular tourist attraction, and local landmark is the Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque. Considered by many as one of the most imposing religious and national landmarks in Abu Dhabi to date. It is also arguably one of the most important architectural treasures of the contemporary UAE society – and one of the most beautiful in the world – initiated no less by the late president HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, (who is fondly thought of as the father of UAE.)

The Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque, popularly called Grand Mosque by local residents, is seen as a “globally unifying” landmark from its conception to completion, bringing together designers, features, materials and suppliers from nearly every corner of the globe: Italy, Germany, Morocco, India, Turkey, Iran, China, Greece and the UAE. Natural materials were chosen for its design and construction, which include marble, stone, gold, semi-precious stones, crystals and ceramics.

Also popular as a tourist destination is the Hili archaeological site. Situated within a public garden, it is accessible from the Dubai Road, some 10 kilometres outside Al Ain.

Visitors, including those with children, can enjoy the landscaped public garden whilst having a picnic especially during the cooler months. This public garden features an important site where remnants of a Bronze Age settlement was excavated and restored.

This site yielded a tomb containing the remains of well over 200 individuals as well as valuable artefacts including ceramic and soft-stone vessels believed to be imported from Iran or Baluchistan that are now displayed at the Al Ain Museum. Hili is near Fossil Valley, an area which was covered by sea many thousand years ago, and hence, serves as a mini-reservoir of countless fossils.

Archaeological surveys over the past few decades have been conducted at a number of sites including Rumeilah, a district of Al Ain. Rumeilah yielded what is believed to be the first Iron Age settlement in the emirate where a series of mud brick buildings, some still with roofs intact, has been discovered. The settlement, possibly occupied between 1000 and 300 BC, contained grinding stones, pottery, metal tools and some bronze weaponry.

Other archaeological sites are located in Qattarah (Al Ain), Mantiqa Al-Sirra (Abu Dhabi interior) and Ayn Al Fayda (Al Ain), to name a few. Plans are afoot to open at least one of these sites to the public in future.

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.

Heavy construction equipment requires a lot of capital investments. When the companies opt to buy these types of heavy construction equipments then they look out for the used equipments that may be on sale in the local market. This helps them in various manners. Companies sometime get used heavy construction equipment which are as good as new but the cost is much lesser than that offered in the showroom. Moreover, buying heavy construction equipment from the local market reduces the transportation cost as well. These overheads not look good in the balance sheet as they lead to increase in the project costs.

Financing is a major concern while buying heavy construction equipment. Most of the companies look out for times when the interest rates are low and they can strike a good bargain. In developing countries the rate of economic growth determines the external investments. A healthy growing economy attracts heavy foreign investments. Thus since the financial inflows are more the interest rates are much low. Thus buying heavy construction equipments or taking them as rentals is much more economical.

After the opening up to the markets and signing of the GATT agreement by most of the countries there has been increase in the competition and reduction in cost of equipments. Moreover, the heavy construction equipments have been manufactured at more locations than before. This trend has been on increase to serve the global market and cross-country support for infrastructure development. Moreover, there has also been increase in the duty-free import structure in the economies. But in case of the growing economies, increase in exports and development of local markets is still required to support the imports in the countries.

Demand for heavy construction equipment is more region-specific. In US markets and Western Europe, requirement for up-gradation of the locations is more required rather than developing new projects. These countries require maintenance and upgrading of the existing projects, which is more crucial for the existing infrastructure for long time sustenance.

In case of developing countries, building up of rail, roads, flyovers, high-rise, airports, and urban development is more crucial. All this requires lot of construction work, which requires use of heavy construction equipment. The largest producers of heavy construction equipment are located in the U.S., Japan, Germany, the U.K. and France, followed by Italy, South Korea, Canada, Sweden and Belgium. There are manufacturing units located at other locations also like China, Russia and Latin America. More manufacturing units for heavy construction equipments are expected to crop up at locations, which offer low material costs and cheap labor.

Heavy construction equipment is also available on rent. These can be leased out easily from the domestic market. It is much more beneficial to take the heavy construction equipment on rent or on least for a day or few days rather than purchase them and then sell them at lower cost or carry overheads like transportation, maintenance, etc. Buying heavy construction equipment is not much preferred option. Mostly in the US, long-term leasing is much more preferred over purchasing due to tax structure.

There are many types of box trailers with KRONE, SCHMITZ, KOEGEL, PACTON, and Drawbartrailer 4-axle trailers being just a few of the top brands you can find on the market today. These trailers can be purchased for a variety of purposes and many can be manufactured specifically to your specifications by the manufacturer if necessary to meet any special needs that you may have. No matter what your needs may be you should always keep quality, dependability and experience from the manufacturer in mind when purchasing new or used box trailers.

Krone is one of the top manufactures of new and used box trailers and as of March 2009 have introduced their new Fair Care Service Package that is designed specifically for the customer if they purchase a new Krone trailer from the Profi Liner range, Mega Liner, Cool and Box Liner. There are three different options available: The Fair Care Trailer Service, the Fair Care Tyre Service and the Fair Care Cooling Engine Service.

Schmitz has as of April 2009 opened their new single multi-product trailer assembly line and it is now fully operational. The new integrated line allows both curtain-sider and refrigerated trailer to be built at the same time. The new facility has also been designed so that they are able to manufacture a very extensive line of other trailers as well and expect the number of products manufactured to be greatly increased the future.

Koegel is known for its product range of semi-trailers, swap body trailers and changeable platform bodies. The company was founded in 1934 and its headquarters are located in Germany. It’s principal purpose is manufacturing and renting vehicles for the transport of heavy loads. They also trade in second hand vehicles, supplies, spare parts and repair vehicles. In 2004 Koegel announced the development of a new type of refrigerated trailer that keeps items cooler for longer periods of time.

Pacton is a world leader in the transport industry. The have very competitive pricing and the quality of their used or new box trailers is unquestionable. They offer standard and tailor made trailers built to the customers specifications. Pacton has held a leading position in national and international transport buisiness for many years and continue to work with only the best to make their products the best in quality and design.

Drawbartrailer 4-axle trailers are trailers that are designed to haul huge loads, everything from heavy construction equipment to extremely long loads. They are designed so that you are able to pull one of these trailers behind a semi or almost any other type of vehicle able to pull the additional weight.

These companies not only sale new box trailers, but used box trailers as well, so keep in mind when your searching the internet or simply driving down the road and see a sign advertising box trailers for sale that either new or used they are manufactured by companies that back their products with experience, dependability and quality.

China – ASEAN Free Trade Area on January 1, 2010 fully completed, since the free trade zone 90% of the products began to achieve a zero tariff, import and export of ASEAN countries showed 500% growth in volume, since the free trade zone will become a consumer has a 1.9 billion persons, 4.5 trillion total trade of the huge market, second only to North America, the European Union the world’s third largest free trade zone.

   With the completion of a free trade zone, located in South, Southwest and ASEAN with the Department of Pan-Tonkin Gulf region of Guangxi have become the most potential for development, it is learned from the free trade area in Guangxi will use the cooperation mechanism, and actively participate in and promote pan-North Bay port, engineering machinery, logistics, warehousing and many other sub-regional cooperation; will use this opportunity to accelerate the South Canton, your broad, Hunan, Guangxi, and other inter-provincial railway construction projects, speed up the region and beyond roads, bridges, water conservancy and other infrastructure facilities construction. At the same time, the ASEAN countries also take advantage of this opportunity, a substantial increase in infrastructure and investment in large-scale projects.

  With the completion of a free trade zone, engineering machinery industry is facing rare opportunities for development. Due to historical, environmental, technological and other factors, the ASEAN countries is lagging behind the development of construction machinery industry, the ASEAN countries every year from China to import large quantities of construction machinery products. After several decades of development, China-made engineering machinery products overall quality, performance significantly improved the quality of some products with Germany, the United States, Japan and comparable prices are much cheaper, but as an old neighbor of ASEAN countries, ASEAN countries are more willing to doing business with China.

    Rare opportunities for development, leading city of the regional advantages, clean and efficient administrative environment, suitable living environment, etc. All of this so that the Pan-Tonkin Gulf region of Guangxi has been more and more attention from investors, with the flow, logistics, the continuous flow of funds collection, transportation and logistics infrastructure into matchmaking, an important condition for ensuring sustainable development. Construction machinery industry and logistics industry will be the first development in the region leading the industry. It is learned that Xu workers, in the Alliance, the 31 other well-known enterprises in Guangxi have been actively developing the Pan-Tonkin Gulf regional markets, a high-profile pan-Tonkin Gulf region to participate in exhibition in Guangxi.

Caterpillar Incorporated, also known as CAT is a United States based corporation that is based in Peoria, Illinois. The company commonly known as CAT is known around the world as the largest manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, diesel and natural gas engines, and industrial gas turbines.

Well known and famous for their products that feature the Caterpillar track and distinctive yellow paint, CAT produces a wide range of heavy equipment for all types of jobs, including the very popular Caterpillar D9 bulldozer.

History

The story of CAT dates back to the late 19th century, when Daniel Best and Benjamin Holt were experimenting with different ways to fulfill the promise that steam tractors held for farm work. Prior to 1925, the Holt family had pioneered track tractors and gasoline powered engines. After the companies of Best and Holt were merged, the company went through several changes then at the end of World War 2, they began to grow at a very fast pace, launching the first venture outside of the country in 1950, which marked the beginning of CAT development into a big corporation.

CAT equipment ranges from track type tractors to hydraulic excavators, backhoes, motor graders, off road trucks, wheel loaders, tractors, diesel and gas engines, and gas turbines. CAT equipment is used in construction, excavation, building roads, mining, energy, forestry, transportation, and material handling companies.

Sales

Over half of CAT’s sales are to customers in overseas areas. CAT products are sold in almost 200 different countries. The company has a worldwide network of over 200 dealers – 63 in the United States and over 150 in other countries. CAT equipment and components are manufactured in 42 plants in the United States and 58 plants in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, England, France, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, and several other countries.

Labor

CAT almost went down in the early 1980s due to the massive union strikes and a down turn in product demand. At the time, several news reports indicated that products were piling up so high in facilities that temporary workers hired to work the lines could barely get to their stations to perform their jobs.

In the 1990s, CAT suffered yet another long strike in which the company hired what it deemed to be permanent replacements for union workers that were on strike. During both strikes, jack rocks were placed in the home entrances of many of CATs top executives and employees, puncturing the tires of their vehicles and making things worse for the company.

Not long after the strike of the 1990s ended and the economy started to get back up again, CAT adopted the “6 Sigma” quality management program, to help reduce costs and inventory and identify and correct the defects in processes and products.

France has one of the largest economies in the world. It is also one of the most important trading partners of the U.S. In 2005, France has imported goods and services valued at $50.6 billion. In 2007, U.S. exports of goods and services to France reached $99 billion, equal to 6.1% of the total imports in France. The U.S. exports in France have grown constantly.

The French food market has always offered good prospects for U.S. exporters. Nowadays, the interest of French youth in the American culture has increased; therefore, the demand for imported food products from U.S. is growing. Market opportunities for U.S. exporters include: oilseeds, soft drinks, dried fruits, frozen foods, snacks, seafood, cereals, pet food, and even dietetic and health products. In 2007, the United States exported $1.1 billion worth of agricultural products to France, such as nuts, grapefruit, seafood, soybeans, and planting seeds.

Outside the agricultural sector, civilian aircraft engines are among the top American products exported to France. Also, U.S. companies control 70% percent of the computer services and software market, and the exports have grown constantly. U.S- made industrial chemicals, safety and security equipment, computer and peripherals, telecommunication equipment, computer software, automotive parts equipment, medical equipment, plastics, agricultural machinery and equipment, textile, construction equipment, and even cosmetics are very attractive to French importers.

Market entry depends on competition, innovation, and pricing, and these factors make it a successful entry. Safety and security equipment is a sector that has seen a high growth rate. In 2006, France imported from the U.S. $3.350 million worth of safety and security equipment. Products such as anti-terrorist equipment, alarms, remote monitoring, or which help at investigations, airport safety, guard services, are very well ranked.

U.S. exporters of construction equipment have excellent prospects in France. The United States has been constantly rated among the top 10 providers of construction equipment for the French construction companies. The construction industry is growing, and so is the demand for specialized, quality, and small machines. Backhoe loaders, compact excavators, compact shovels, and hydraulic excavators offer the best sales prospects. Three of the largest, most important construction equipment companies – Caterpillar (U.S.), Liebherr (Germany), and Case-New Holland (U.S.) – have set headquarters in France to gain local presence. Their largest competitor is Japan-based Komatsu, whose presence in France has been constantly growing.
