[WHAT’S NEW]
WHAT’S NEW MADE TO MEASURE AT LIFTEUROP LIFTEUROP (ALIPA Group), a company that specializes in the
development and manufacture of lifting equipment and accessories, has just installed a new sewing machine for its textile slings. Following the creation of its new internet site (
www.lifteurop. com) and a new catalog in 2013, this purchase underscores the management’s eff orts to optimize the commercial development of LIFTEUROP and to upgrade the quality of its products.
Since its creation in 2010 following the takeover of the French company STAS (Société Technique d’Accessoires Spécialisés), LIFTEUROP has steadily invested in production tools and research and innovation to arm itself with the means to achieve its ambitions: to promote the STAS brand outside France and to expand its international business.
A new sewing machine for polyamide textile slings has just been added to the already impressive array of production machinery.
“Textile slings account for 10 per cent of our sales. The fabric is sewn very carefully, drawing on all the experience and savoir-faire of the STAS brand. We take great care to supply our customers with perfectly fi nished equipment, which is greatly appreciated,” explains the engineer technical manager, Gaëtan Lambert.
To ensure the safety of people and goods, LIFTEUROP sews its polyamide textile slings according to a very precise pattern. “We do not take chances with safety so the sewing must be perfect in order to support the working load limit (WLL). The polyamide thread used is regularly tested on a special tensile test bench,”explains Michaël Magerotte, the production manager. “Textile slings are susceptible to wear and cuts that can dangerously aff ect their strength. To protect them, we can sew nylon fabric onto the sling according to customer requirements, and/or provide a removable protective sleeve,” he adds.
To optimize traceability, LIFTEUROP off ers its customers the option of sewing into its textile slings an RFID chip containing an individual traceability code for the sling, as well as personalized information according to user requirements. y
