Versalift – Time Manufacturing Growth – Fall 2021 – Long Form

Jay Jeffrey, President, Time Manufacturing Company I’m Jay Jeffrey, and I’m President of Time Manufacturing. I’ve been with the company for over 34 years. With all the changes we’ve had in our industry, the one constant, the one thing that hasn’t changed, is that Versalift is known for innovation and excellence. Over the last few years, (there has been) significant growth both organically and through brand acquisition. We continue to expand through company-owned distribution and third party partners around the world. It’s very important to us that not only do we build an innovative product, to give you the right product, but also that we know how to service it and take care of it throughout its life. Don Fratus,VP Supply Chain The growth over the last three four years has been unprecedented with the recent acquisitions of distribution and manufacturers. It’s making the supply chain a little easier to manage because of more help from additional manufacturers and additional volume. With them, plus we’re doing more procurement on the distribution side which we’ve never done before. With (added) distribution across the United States we’re able to share pricing volumes, combined volumes, and get optimum performance at all levels. In the last four years here at Versalift, through vertical integration we have grown the company to a size that brings a lot of efficiencies to our organization, knowledge to our organization, that helps us improve and innovate to an even greater scale than we’ve been able to before. Jay Jeffrey, President, Time Manufacturing Company Several of our acquisitions, one includes Ruthmann, which is a leading European manufacturer of 40 different models through three different brands, which continues to strengthen how strong we are in the european theater and also now across the world. Ebbe Christiansen, President Ruthmann Reachmaster One of the things that Ruthmann has been famous for for many many years is the ability to develop very tall machines with still reasonable weight. Ruthmann has for many years developed a lot of different technologies, one is the way that they built the boom system which is capable of reaching significant reach without having a lot of weight to them. James Christian, VP Engineering With the acquisition we now have access to some of the best people in the industry. Engineers and manufacturing and distribution groups over there that really makes us a much stronger global company. Jay Jeffrey, President, Time Manufacturing Company Aspen Aerials is our underbridge inspection unit which is the leading manufacturer of underbridge inspection units in north america John Stubenvoll, President Aspen Aerials Here at Aspen Aerials we build a variety of units to handle different sized bridges. We sell them to municipalities, state DOT’s, railroads, and also too many rental companies. Gary Heisterkamp, Chief Commercial Officer BrandFX BrandFX is the largest composite body manufacturer in the country, we manufacture all of our product out of composite fiberglass material starting from the small service bodies on a Ford Ranger truck up to a largest tandem-axle truck with a digger derricks or an aerial device on it. Our product is really the only one that you can walk up to, take your foot, kick it as hard as you want to. Kick it and you’re not going to ding it, you’re not going to dent it, and you’re not going to break it. Whereas with the metal bodies, that happens all the time, once you bend it you can’t bend it back. Brian Coleman, VP Sales, North & South America, Versalift So what we’ve really done is we’ve made a machine that will pick up to 700 pounds of capacity in any position that you put the boom in. Meaning the operator no longer has to read a load chart to find out if he’s within the capacities of that machine. When you’ve got your lineman out during a storm, and he’s trying to replace transformers that have been taken down by wind or snow or hail. The last thing he wants to do, because he is in a hurry to get power up for your customers, is to have to stop and think how much weight I can pick up in this position with this machine? it eliminates that. There is no guesswork. There is no chart that has to be read to keep him in a safe working condition. it’ll pick up 25 kva transformers up to 37.5 kva without needing a load chart to look at. It’s just a safer, simpler solution Jay Jeffrey, President, Time Manufacturing Company The path for Time Manufacturing forward is one of nothing but growth and possibility, through our innovation, the way we design products and build products. Our manufacturing capability, both domestically in North America and also worldwide, is fabulous. So that’s our growth plan: we continue to build the best product, the most innovative product, the highest quality product and we plan to be number one.

SlopeMax® – Safety System

Brian & James (Interview Inside) SPEAKERS ✅ Hi, I’m Brian Coleman, Versalift Vice President of Sales for North and South America. I’m James Christian, Vice President of Engineering and CTO of Versalift. 1:43 James, when we’re talking with customers out in the field, we spend a lot of time, from a sales perspective, really just trying to understand what we can do to help customers make their job easier. What does engineering really spend their time on, when you guys were looking at designs and things were the kind of things that you’re really looking for? ✅ 2:03 – 2:18 …We met with lots of customers and users. And, you know, we take into account design the manufacturability of a piece of equipment, you know, in what specifications are and what it really needs to do. But, you know, number one top on the list is the safety side of it. ✅ 2:33 – 2:44 And I think that that’s really number one for the sales department, the company as a whole, really, is to, to ensure that what we design and build keeps the operators /user equipment as safe as possible out in the field. ✅ 2:50 – 3:01 …We’re very conservative in our designs to start with, so we design a piece of equipment, we really don’t, you know, we don’t go down to the bare minimum of what a spec or standards are going to require us to do. 3:05 – 3:23 …We make them a lot stronger than what they should be. Because we know how equipment is used. We’ve met with linemen, we know the reports, we know mechanics, we know what happens to equipment, so we really know how they’re gonna be used. We design for the real user in the real world, what they’re going to use them for. ✅ 3:23 And I can tell you, our operators, the guys who are running our equipment like to hear that, right, there’s, there’s nothing more important to know that the equipment they’re using is capable of more than what they actually put it in. ✅ 3:37 …One of our early safety innovations that we had, or have, is the ElectroGuard, you know, the ElectroGuard is, you know, a customer gets in a truck, he doesn’t always extend his insulated boom out first. So, electric or to develop that if you don’t do that you’re still protected in your operation. You know, we try to make everything as simple and easy for the operator cause he has a job to do. And we need to make it as simple and easy for him to be safe, you know, while he is using our equipment. ✅ 4:06 Yeah, I’ve always liked the passiveness of all the safety innovations that we do put into the equipment because it doesn’t require the operator to do anything. 4:16 He’s just automatically protected. ✅ 4:17 – 4:44 Exactly. You know, one of the you know, one of the newer ones that we came out with was TruGuard and that’s exactly what it does. You know, the operator really doesn’t even know it’s there. But you know, it’s protecting him from being electrocuted while he’s up working on you know, hot lines. So, you know, that’s exactly the kind of thing we look at something that’s simple, that’s going to protect them, you know, and it really doesn’t, you know, it doesn’t add cost to the equipment. ✅ 5:37 – 5:48 I remember from a little different perspective, just from being on the distribution side, when James was working on that project. I remember the first time we got it, back in the 80’s. ✅
