BULK MATERIALS HANDLING
Safe materials handling for chemical and other hazardous environments
The J D
Neuhaus company have a long established
reputation for the supply of safe, reliable, low- maintenance
handling equipment
for chemical and other industries subject to hazardous environments. The major safety factor of the JDN products, including cranes, hoists and winches, is their equipment is operated by compressed air (or optionally hydraulics), rather than utilising electric power. This ensures a high degree of explosion- proofness when handling hazardous chemicals or when working in otherwise dangerous environments or atmospheres. Lifting equipment is 100% duty cycle rated, thus eliminating downtime, and can be remotely
controlled using pendant cable controllers, or wireless hand-held radio operated units. Equipment safety ratings for use in potentially explosive conditions are Ex II 2 GD IIA T4(X) / II 3 GD IIB T4(X). Increased spark protection, involving a galvanised copper plated finish for the hoist bottom block and load hook assembly, can be supplied to achieve an Ex II 2 GD IIB T4(X) rating. Increased sparking protection for operation in explosions group IIC, covers the supply of bronze running wheels, travelling gears and the hand gear mechanisms of trolleys for a rating of Ex II 2 GD IIC T4(X).
The JDN general duty mini series air hoists, with lift capacities from 125 to 1000kg, are rated Ex II 3 GD IIA T4(X). All units, including the larger capacity JDN handling products with lift capacities up to 115 tonnes, are suitable for lube-free operation with easy maintenance. They feature sensitive, infinitely variable speed control for precise load positioning, with overload protection as standard. They are also insensitive to dust, humidity, fumes and other generally poor working conditions and can operate in a temperature range of -20°C to 70°C.
The products provide general lifting or load transfer operations within the chemical and a wide range of general industries. Submersible pumps, motors, pipework and containerised raw finished goods can all be safety and efficiently accommodated for plant operation, repair or maintenance including tank cleaning functions. Special purpose hoists for big bag handling or twin parallel hoist units with synchronised lifting can also be supplied, together with low-headroom hoists where limited space is available.
The JDN hydraulically operated crane systems include single or double girder overhead travelling cranes, underslung cranes with low headroom trolley designs and slewing jib cranes. The products can also feature rack and pinion drives for safe power transmission in offshore or other vessel mounted operations if required.

Bedfords Transport to be the first for EcoStralis
In a UK first, Bedfords Transport has invested in two Iveco EcoStralis tractor units to run on behalf of its recent acquisition, LinQ Alliance.
The new 44 tonne 4x2 EcoStralis tractor units have been purchased from Yorkshire based truck and van dealership and longstanding partner, Northern Commercials and will carry LinQ Alliance livery. Iveco offers at least a 4% improvement in fuel economy with the EcoStralis, Bedfords is the first UK haulier to have invested in the new technology. Bedfords has recently acquired logistics network LinQ Alliance, and is already investing in the company with the purchase of these new units. Bedfords has continued to grow over the last 12 months and is renowned for its commitment to ensuring its service is on time and has an outstanding track record for accuracy and reliability.
The investment in the new units from Northern Commercials, demonstrates how the company is expanding its fleet but also taking into consideration the environmental issues surrounding the transport industry. The EcoStralis is a representation of Iveco’s commitment to ensure maximum productivity and aiming to reduce operating costs, reducing the impact on today’s environment. Proven results show the EcoStralis reduces fuel

consumption on long distance operations. Steff Pfadenhauer, Managing Director at Bedfords commented: “Investing in the new EcoStralis units is another move forward for Bedfords and demonstrates our strong relationship with Northern Commercials. “We work hard to reduce fuel consumption with our current fleet but these new units help to reduce it further still, continuing to aid Bedfords to provide the reliable service we are known for.”
John McCune of LinQ Alliance added: “Having recently been acquired by Bedfords,
LinQ now has the opportunity to improve the success of the network. With the addition of the two EcoStralis units, LinQ aims to build its national distribution service and to reduce fuel costs at the same time.” Roger Peel, Dealer Principle at Northern Commercials said: “We have a long standing relationship with Bedfords and this is shown through this latest investment. The new units will provide huge fuel savings for Bedfords and we are proud that one of our customers will be the first to operate an EcoStralis in the UK.”
