“It is in this atmosphere of community that Terex Utilities recognizes and supports October Breast Cancer Awareness month,” said Clint Maners, Territory Sales Manager for Arkansas, Missouri, and Southern Illinois. Visitors were invited to sign a banner to help raise funds for breast cancer research. “The personal stories people shared as they stopped to sign the banner were truly amazing, and in my opinion, was the best part of the show,” he said.
The company will donate $2,500 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation Midwest Region. The Susan G. Komen Foundation invests in breakthrough research to prevent and cure breast cancer.
“We congratulate the winners of Hurtman Rescue for their speed and accuracy,” Maners said. The first place Journeyman team hails from Pedernales Electric Cooperative, serving the Texas Hill Country. Team members included Journeymen Caleb Brodock and Garrit Afman and Groundman Thomas Logan. In the Apprentice category, Carter Kelling from Jackson Electric Membership Corporation (EMC) was the top performer. Jackson EMC is one of the largest electric co-ops serving Georgia.
In addition, four auger tools, including the Hollow Kelly Bar, were on display at the Expo. The Hollow Kelly Bar allows operators to drive screw anchors without having to use heavier, traditional locking dog and square bar setups. Terex Utilities’ design combines the auger extension shaft and screw anchor drive. This makes the anchor rod insertion a one-person operation, eliminates manual handling and lifting of heavy components, and increases productivity.

The other auger tools that were featured provided different benefits depending on the type of ground or rock to be drilled. The BTA Spiral provides efficient drilling into hard rock or concrete. The BTR Bullet Tooth Rock Auger provides precisely controlled tooth penetration. It features flighting pitch that is engineered to enhance material flow. The Stand-Alone Core Barrel is for boring fractural and non-fractural rock, non-reinforced and reinforced concrete. It is ideal to use when material cannot be effectively drilled with conventional tooling. An optional extendable pilot allows for easy start and provides additional stability in extremely hard rock or out of level surfaces.
