GEOFIRE’S AGRIPPA PROTECTS LAURA ASHLEY
HOTEL GUESTS The Laura Ashley Manor Hotel in Elstree used the Agrippa Pillow Fire Alarm to cater for a large party of deaf guests.
CEO of Corus and Laura Ashley Hotels Andrew Clayton, commented: “Geofire responded quickly and efficiently when we found ourselves in urgent need of 32 pillow alarms for a large party arriving in two days time. The alarms arrived the following day as promised, and they were quick and easy to set up.
“Our guests had a good night’s sleep secure in the knowledge that they would be alerted swiftly in the unlikely
event of an emergency. The feedback from our guests was very positive; they appreciated our understanding of their needs, and the quality of the product. We will certainly be working with Geofire in the future and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality product and efficient service.”
The Agrippa Pillow Fire Alarm product is a battery powered, wire- free unit with a pad attachment that is fitted under a pillow. If the fire alarm sounds the pillow pad vibrates, high intensity LED lights flash and an LCD screen displays ‘fire’. The alarm is compact and portable and comes in a carry bag so it can be moved around a building as required.
It uses digital, wire-free technology with two preset trigger levels plus an optional ‘listen and learn’ function that listens for the unique sound of a specific fire or smoke alarm.
The alarm also complies with the highest European standards and has been designed to conserve battery power, boasting an expected battery life of up to two years.

TEREX EXTEND NEW DEMAG V-TYPE DOUBLE GIRDER
CRANE RANGE Since Terex Material Handling launched their innovative Demag V-type single girder crane they have extended the range to include V-type double girder overhead travelling models.
V-type double girder cranes come with load capacities of up to 50 tonnes and are offered with spans of up to 35metres as standard, with longer girder lengths available upon request.
A significant feature of the V-type crane is the reduced weight of the crane girder which facilitates the accommodation of a rope hoist that has a higher load capacity for the movement of heavier unit loads.
The reduced crane deadweight produces less wheel pressure and so minimises the forces transmitted
56
to the crane runways and existing building structures. Consequently, the new Demag V-type crane provides architects with greater freedom in planning new factory buildings.
Another advantage over conventional box section girder design is that the V-type’s mechanically connected girders are more rigid, enabling faster material handling and the ability to transport and position sensitive loads gently and accurately.
The V-type double-girder crane is offered in four different designs, with the side connection of the end carriages to the girder a common
feature to all models. The different types are distinguished by the shape of the girder ends and their vertical connection position, ensuring that the crane design may be best adapted to the existing building.
For new structures, the space between the crane and building roof may be reduced for construction cost savings and lower maintenance expenses. In existing buildings with sufficient headroom, the height of the V-type girder may be increased to further reduce crane deadweight. This feature provides benefits for applications where the load bearing capacity of the building is an issue.
Andreas Hambrock, Senior Director of the Universal and Modular Cranes’ Business Line at Terex Material Handling, stated: “Following the positive response from the market for our V-type single girder crane, we have taken the next logical step with the introduction of the double girder design.”
