FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AmeraMex International Demonstrates Mastication Equipment to the US Forestry Service, PG&E and CalFire
Approval of California Proposition 68 Provides
Funding for Forestry Conservation
CHICO, CA – June 12, 2018 – AmeraMex International, Inc. (OTC:
AMMX), a provider of heavy equipment for
logistics
companies,
infrastructure construction, forestry conservation and tactical military vehicles, demonstrated two lines of
mastication equipment to management from
Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), CalFire and the US Forest Service.
During the three and a half days of training and demonstrations,
upper management and decision makers from PG&E, CalFire, the US Forest
Service, and associated contractors came through in groups of twenty for
equipment demonstrations followed by a question and answer period. There were approximately 200 people attending
the demonstrations.
According to a December 6, 2017 LA Times article,
CalFire has a $1.8 billion overall budget for fires of all sizes and
types. As of December 6, 2017, CalFire had
incurred expenses totaling $490.3 million, well more than the $426.9 million
budgeted for fiscal 2017-18 to put out large
wildfires. This did not include the
cost for giant blazes raging across Southern California at the time of the
article.
AmeraMex CEO Lee Hamre commented, “We were pleased
with the attendance and overall interest shown during these
demonstrations. CalFire is just one
entity needing to ramp-up preventative measures against forest fires in
California. PG&E and the US Forest Service are also
investigating new fire-suppression methods and equipment requirements. We have already received several Requests for
Quotations from individual firms that are contracted by organizations, such as CalFire,
to provide Menzi Muck and ASV equipment for fire suppression.”
The California June 5, 2018 mid-term election saw
the approval of Proposition 68 for $4 billion. These monies will be used for state and local parks, environmental
protection projects, water infrastructure projects and flood protection
projects. This equates to approximately $2 billion for land conservation and
mastication projects.
The Menzi
Muck Excavator is manufactured by
Swiss-based Menzi Muck AG. This highly
specialized machine is built to do little harm to the surrounding terrain and
can get in and out of difficult job sites without the damage normally caused by
a track excavator.
The ASV Track
Loader was created and is manufactured by Grand Rapids, MN-based ASV Holdings
(NASDAQ: ASV). The compact construction
equipment was designed with an emphasis on compact tract loaders using unique
and patented rubber track undercarriage technology. This technology provides exceptional traction
on soft, wet, slippery, rough or hilly terrain.
A demonstration of the Menzi Muck equipment is currently shown of
the AmeraMex website. When available, a new
video of the demonstrations will be uploaded to the website, www.AMMX.net.
