Ancillary equipment ESAB flip’s up to Langh introduces its latest cargo solution onto the market. “Tese containers make it possible to transport
coils in ordinary cargo vessels and coils can thus be delivered profitably also, when shipments are small”, said product manager Markku Yli-Kahri, who has been in charge of the container development. Hard Open Top Bulk Cradle Containers are
multipurpose, even though they have been optimised for steel transportation. When handling coils the whole roof of the container can be removed. When transporting bulk the container can be loaded through the small bulk hatches in the roof and it can be unloaded through the letter box hatch in the back wall. “Tese containers significantly reduce the time
used for loading coils and totally remove the need for disposable lashing material”, states Commercial Manager Laura Langh-Lagerlöf, who has invented the securing system for the coils. Te container can be used with flexitanks also
for liquid transportations. Te whole cubic can be exploited, while the properties of the container can take the pressure caused by liquids. Te valve gear of the flexitank is easy to handle through the letter box hatch in the back wall. Te payload of the container is 40tonnes and the tare weight is 4.8tonnes. Sales Manager Mika Saarinen considers the
multipurpose use of the containers as one of their assets: “With these containers it is easy to transport raw material in the return leg, and thus they don’t need to be transported empty.” The 20’ Hard Open Top Duplex Containers
are made of Outokumpu’s Duplex-steel. It has all the qualities of the above presented Bulk Cradle Container, but due to its stainless material it is stronger, lighter and the payload is as much as 50tonnes. “Te life cycle of these containers will be very
long, because the properties of the material are almost twofold in comparison with Corten-steel”, says David Barker from Outokumpu, “Te need for maintenance is very little, and the containers never need to be painted. Tis reduces the life cycle costs of the container.

the job ESAB has introduced a newly designed flip-up welding helmet, the Globe-Arc. Following the ESAB family design, the new hybrid shell is made from ZyTel material and offers a full head a face protection and is very lightweight. Te compact design allows for welding in very tight places, whilst reducing the visible light entering the back of the helmet caused by other welding light. Te new flip visor has an upper retention stop,
which eliminates visor drop-down when welding or grinding together with shake proof quarter turn retainers to allow for quick removal and replace- ment. Te Globe-Arc is suitable for all welding applica-
tions as the visor provides effective protection from ultra violet (UV) and infared (IR) radiation when the visor is open and closed, and is available in different shade levels. Te helmet has a wide field of vision through both
the large main and flip-up visors which provides increased work safety. Te visor has a flat top brow for easy put downs and to prevent scratching. ESAB’s new comfort headgear, which is
constructed from quality nylon with a large adjust- ment ratchet and comfort sweat band, is fitted to the helmet.
