Dit jaar viert Aebi Schmidt Nederland met trots haar 75e verjaardag. Deze belangrijke mijlpaal benadrukt onze voortdurende toewijding aan het leveren van intelligente oplossingen voor gemeenten en dienstverleners gericht op innovatie, duurzaamheid en de sterke relaties met klanten en partners. Om deze speciale gelegenheid te vieren, organiseerden we op 6 juni 2024 een evenement op ons lokale hoofdkantoor in Holten, Nederland.

Last year, Dublin Airport transitioned away from diesel and began using HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) to reduce its carbon footprint and help meet its sustainability targets. Read more on how Schmidt’s summer and winter maintenance fleet can contribute to such plans.

The Tyrolean state government uses spreaders in both summer and winter. Meanwhile, Estonian service provider EKT Teed OÜ relies on a carrier vehicle with a interchangeable system that can be used all year round. Will soon all of our machines be multipurpose and usable all year round? We spoke to Henning Schröder, Head Group Technology, and Gerhard Neudorfer, Head Sales Europe.

Maintaining 1.000.000 m² in the city of Tartu, EKT Teed OÜ decided to add new equipment to its fleet last year. Looking back, the contractor is sure to have made the right choice in order to maintain the area 24/7, 365 days a year. And, it was not only the Street King’s features that impressed, but also the possibility of buying single source, service included.

The feedback following tests with the prototype of an electric-hydraulic eSyntos spreader in a municipality in the Netherlands was so promising that the machine is now starting series production.

Wouldn't it be practical if you could use the same truck for winter and summer maintenance and only change the mounted construction? And to do this very simply and efficiently? That's exactly where the Schmidt Street King 660 comes into play.

For over 85 years Swenson has been building the winter maintenance equipment that states, cities and municipalities depend on to keep their roads safe, so that their economies keep moving during the winter months. As the technology leader, Swenson currently introduces itself with a new commercial as first choice for municipalities interested in more profitable and ecological winter maintenance.

Josef Schröder and his employees from the Strassenmeisterei Vomp are pioneers. This year for the first time, pure brine has been used for winter road clearance on their road network. The first results of the pilot test are extremely promising. «We will certainly continue to further expand the project,” LHStv. Josef Geisler is already convinced before the end of the winter.

Staffordshire County Council has added new Stratos III spreaders to its winter fleet for the first time after the Aebi Schmidt equipment came out top in the council’s tender process for nine replacement spreaders.

INCHEON AIRPORT IN SOUTH KOREA IS GEARING UP FOR THE 2018 OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES The “Land of the Morning Calm” is readying itself for the Games, which will be held from 9 to 25 February 2018. Given that passenger traffic spikes during events of this magnitude in particular, it’s an absolute must for any airport of good standing to have snow-free and ice-free runways and taxiways. To ensure absolute safety and punctuality at all times, IIAC (Incheon International Airport Corporation) is adding ten Schmidt TJS 630 jet sweepers to their winter service fleet.

The salt depots of the Oldesloer Autobahnmeisterei are full, the gritting vehicles are ready and the employees are on call.

The Aebi universal solution for communal service

Net als Meyer kent zijn dealerpartner JTI, Inc. een lange geschiedenis. John's Trailer Company was de voorloper van het huidige JTI, Inc. Het bedrijf werd opgericht in 1935 en bouwde en verkocht aanvankelijk hooiwagens, aanhangwagens, hefinrichtingen en assen. JTI is nu in de vierde generatie familiebezit en is nog steeds een betrouwbare dealer van machines, die al twee decennia lang Meyer sneeuwploegen en zoutstrooiers verkoopt.

In winter road maintenance, it is often necessary to treat particularly critical areas, such as bridges or steep and sloping stretches, with specially deployed spray vehicles or with stationary de-icing agent spraying systems. This approach incurs additional costs because of the special vehicles, routes or equipment. In Vienna, however, it has been shown that there is another way. We wanted to know how and spoke to engineer Dr. Peter Nutz, Head of Planning and Winter Maintenance at Municipal Department 48.

AWISTA is part of a group of companies that provides municipal and commercial waste disposal and cleaning services from a single source in Düsseldorf and the surrounding area. We have talked with Udo Meyer, Operations Manager at AWISTA, to find out how IntelliOPS supports his day-to-day operations in winter maintenance. Keeping the road network free of snow and ice in winter is a challenging task every year. Professional and continuous use of data and digital applications makes planning and monitoring as well as documentation and reporting of the corresponding operations easier and safer. But how exactly?

Elk land en elke regio heeft zijn eigen uitdagingen op het gebied van gladheidsbestrijding. De veiligheid van weggebruikers en bestuurders van voertuigen voor winterdienst heeft echter overal ter wereld de hoogste prioriteit. Op veel plaatsen komt tegenwoordig de eis om voertuigen en strooimateriaal zo zuinig mogelijk te gebruiken op de tweede plaats. De Routemanager van Aebi Schmidt is een van de instrumenten die - ook bij Rijkswaterstaat - bijdragen aan de invulling van deze eis.

Compared to the previous Galeox model, the Galeox NT spreader has additional hopper capacity as well as a practical RoRo demount system. The spreader is made using modern manufacturing technologies and is based on proven, reliable and durable components from the Stratos range. The durability as well as the price-performance-ratio can thus be significantly increased. It can be ordered with immediate effect.

Tapio Pahkakangas is an entrepreneur and prime contractor based in western Finland, which was voted by road users as having the best maintained roads in Finland in a survey conducted by the Finnish Road Administration during the 2020–2021 winter season. This recognition is significant both for this local company and Aebi Schmidt, as Pahkakangas’ company, Tapio Pahkakangas Oy, uses Arctic road maintenance equipment. Pahkakangas has been in the road maintenance business for thirty years and likes to share his knowledge and wisdom with others, as safety is something that affects us all. We interviewed the entrepreneur and found out what solutions other contractors can use to achieve similar results in their area.

Do you buy a pig in a poke? Probably not. Presenting machines and equipment live so that customers can experience and test them has been part of our daily business for decades. But what if a regular demonstration is not possible due to a pandemic? The story of our colleagues in the Netherlands shows how this challenge can be solved creatively without having to upgrade to full digital capability.

The fluctuating cost of salt and the long-lasting effects of its shortages combined with its corrosive damage to infrastructure and clean up costs necessitates smarter solutions. Solutions that reduce the total salt needed, increase efficiencies and cause less environmental damage while keeping the roads safe. Learn more on Aebi Schmidt North America’s approach to educate the market on the benefits of smart spreaders.

The ASH Group entered into a Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the interests of two North American snow and ice management equipment producers, Meyer Products LLC and Swenson Spreader LLC. Both companies are owned by the Louis Berkman Work Products Company LLC, Steubenville, Ohio and the transaction is expected to be closed by the end of September 2015. Both companies will provide the ASH Group with a very significant footprint in the important North American snow and ice management market.
