The Weekly Iron for June 3 2025

June 3, 2025

In this episode of The Weekly Iron:

1. The age-old challenge of how to order concrete when you only need short runs or specialized mixes, and don't want to waste expensive materials and time? See how Bauman Redi Mix uses volumetric concrete mixing technology to pour a specialized low-carbon concrete at the Terminal 3 expansion project at SFO.

2. Flipping cutting edges on wheel loader buckets results in banged knuckles, frustration and wasted time. That's why Cat has introduced a new lineup of cutting edges that are specially designed to last their entire lifetime without ever being flipped.

3. Integrating telematics into your preventive maintenance (PM) programs is about more than service intervals. It also has basic benefits around operational factors such as fuel use, and deeper benefits around residual value and resale pricing.
