ARCO REVEAL NEW VENDING
SOLUTIONS Arco is introducing its own vending solutions system which provides a new and highly efficient way of distributing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to the workforce. With customers benefiting from savings of up to 40% on PPE purchases, this solution is a cost-effective way of ensuring that all workers have access to the correct PPE for the job they are doing.
The Arco EDGE 5000 and Arco Axcess locker systems are rugged, versatile, and easy-to-use automated dispensers which track, manage and control PPE and other indirect consumable usage at the point-of-work. The robust machines are designed to deliver outstanding performance, even in the harshest of environments.
NEW DEMAG CRANE RADIO CONTROL SYSTEM
LAUNCHED Terex Material Handling has added new models to its range of D3 generation new radio controls. The compact DRC- MJ handheld transmitter facilitates ergonomic joystick control of crane systems using just one hand.
Previously, operators had a choice of two systems for the radio control of cranes; either a compact unit with push-buttons or a large control unit with joysticks. The Demag DRC-MJ controller combines the convenience of joystick control of all motions with the ergonomics of a compact handheld unit.
The housing of the new control unit is based on the proven design of the Demag DRC DC handheld transmitter. The impact resistant housing material has a smooth surface and is resilient to mechanical loads. Rubber coated end caps ensure durability, making it suitable for operation in arduous environments. The batteries may be used for uninterrupted operation for up to five days without recharging.

tracked and full reports of each user’s consumption can be issued through an employee’s ID card or their unique ID number. This means that employers have the ability to monitor exactly what equipment each user is taking out and how often.
The vending solutions system is a fast and efficient way for employers to be able to report on usage and enables companies to analyse the types of PPE being used and how often they are issued. Arco’s vending machines record all stock levels in real time, therefore seasonal peaks can be identified and consumption levels monitored so that stock replenishment plans are accurate and make the best use of budgets.
The vending solution provides employers with real benefits in terms of stock management, as all aspects of the user’s account can be
The innovative design replaces the conventional keypad panel of a compact controller with two integrated mini joysticks and four buttons. The lifting and lowering motions of a rope hoist may be controlled accurately using the top joystick. The lower joystick may be used for the variable control of two motion axes, such as two crane and travel functions. Simultaneous motions, including diagonal long and cross travel motions, may be conveniently controlled with just one hand, speeding up the material handling process.
The lifting and travel motions may be limited, at the press of a button, to 30%, 50% or 70% of the maximum speed for each motion axis. When the speed limit function is activated, the maximum deflection of the mini joysticks is used for the reduced maximum speed. This results in a ‘zoom’ function, which enables very fine control of slow speeds for optimum positioning accuracy.
A distinct and illuminated bi-colour display shows the weight of the load. Four user friendly buttons complete the control concept of the DRC-MJ units.
Dr. Thomas Bönker, Senior Director of the Components’ Business Line at Terex Material Handling states:

“With our new DRC-MJ handheld transmitter, we meet the demands of younger workers, who have grown up with modern control systems, such as joysticks and thumbwheels. The control concept will also be welcomed by older workers, as it facilitates ergonomic control of simultaneous travel motions with just one hand.”
