MUV ELECTRIC WHEELBARROW WHEELS AWAY
INEFFICIENCY Nu-Star Material Handling has launched a new MUV Electric Wheelbarrow, or mini-dumper, to enable operators to safely transport heavy loads with ease.
The MUV Electric Wheelbarrow eliminates the pushing and pulling required when using a conventional manual wheelbarrow and, since it has a push-button operated electric dump (capable of tipping loads up to 350kg), it also removes the lifting effort required when emptying/dumping a wheelbarrow load.
With a choice of either 800W or 1,200W DC electric drive motors, the MUV Electric Wheelbarrow is virtually noise free in its operation, making it ideal for internal use and in areas where noise-pollution is a concern for local residents and workers’ hearing health.
SCOTT SAFETY INTRODUCES NEW
GAS DETECTOR Scott Safety, the gas and flame detection and protective equipment specialist, has launched the Meridian Fixed Gas Detector, which the company says is “the first truly universal gas detector”. Meridian is ATEX approved and designed to support a full range of toxic as well as combustible sensors.
The Meridian Fixed Gas Detector has a single detector head that will accept all sensor types, as well as a single set of accessories, to make it simple to use and maintain. Designed as a plug and play solution, the sensor fits into the detector and automatically determines the type of gas to be detected. No special tools or additional personnel are required, thereby minimizing maintenance time and effort.
To help customers reduce operational hazard and maintenance cost, Scott

Since there are no handle-bar vibrations to cause Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) or ‘dead finger’ the Electric Wheelbarrow may be used without having to assess this potential risk to the operator.
The MUV Electric Wheelbarrow is available with both moulded industrial plastic and galvanized steel tubs, which may be interchanged by removing locking detent pins on the sub-frame. Other attachments, such as a flat-bed for transporting bricks, tiles and blocks are also available.
Power comes from two 12V, 90AHr batteries; each is sealed-for-life and maintenance free. The waterproof battery charger is fitted on-board and may be connected to either a 220V or 110V power supply. The batteries and battery charger are matched to enable opportunity charging, at any point in the charging cycle, thereby considerably extending run-time. A coloured, LED battery-charge indicator gauge on the control panel clearly shows the battery state.
The MUV Electric Wheelbarrow is operated using an adjustable twist-
Safety has designed a toxic sensor technology that is linear throughout and range agnostic. This allows for adjustments in sensor range without recalibration, as toxic sensors can be bench calibrated in a lab and then installed in the field without the need for further adjustments. The Meridian 3-4 wire platform can also support up to three sensors per transmitter and can be installed remotely from up to 100 feet.
Meeting global regulatory approvals, including ATEX approval for use in explosive atmospheres, and with third party SIL2 certification from TUV-Rheinland, the Meridian Fixed Gas Detector has been developed to ensure best-in-class safety and performance.

grip throttle on the right handle in conjunction with a forwards/backwards direction switch on the control panel. Maximum speed is up to 4.6km/h for the 800W version and up to 6km/h for 1,200W version. An additional ‘tortoise’ mode switch on the control panel reduces maximum speed by 50% to enable inch-perfect positioning when activating the electric-tip and to help achieve a graduated release of the wheelbarrow contents.
The front drive wheels and rear swivelling castor are fitted with industrial foam-filled tyres, making them puncture-proof and impervious to deflation from sharp objects within working environments. In addition to regenerative braking provided by the 125Amp motor controller, there is a 6Nm electromagnetic brake for holding the wheelbarrow on slopes and in transit between locations.
Nu-Star will be displaying the MUV Electric Wheelbarrow on stand X46 at The Executive Hire Show, taking place on the 11th and 12th February 2015 at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry.
