goal to emulate the success of the Bridgend depot, which has a 10-year head start on us, so we have our work cut out. That said, combined with the Ainscough connection and the proximity of the facility, we are excited about the future.” Harper will call on nearly five decades
of relevant experience, most recently at the Rossendale Group, a lifting engineering specialist. He said: “I have been in the lifting gear industry for 45 years, 35 of which were spent in managerial roles. However, I have been out of the sector for five years and didn’t necessarily expect to make a return until Steve presented such a great opportunity to join one of the most dynamic, growing companies in the industry.” Hutin said: “It’s already been widely
reported that we have aspirations to continue to open depots but the brick and mortar is only part of a more holistic growth strategy to provide a truly regional service to existing and prospective customers in all four corners of the country. Ainscough [mobile and crawler crane rental company] operates from 30 strategic locations spanning the length of the UK and while our businesses are different and this
number of sites is greater than our target, it demonstrates the importance of proximity and location in the crane and rigging market.” Harper added: “I’m looking forward
to leveraging our location [that is] just two minutes from the M6 motorway, with Manchester, Merseyside, North Wales, Preston, Cheshire and Cumbria all within easy reach. It’s a competitive region but we are intent on giving the marketplace another choice and eventually achieving status as leaders in the geography.” RSS will consider expanding its wire rope
manufacturing capability to the northwest. Currently, at headquarters, a 1,000t Sahm Splice hydraulic press produces 55t capacity, 64mm diameter slings, while 35t capacity, 52mm diameter slings are made by a smaller Talurit unit. y
Fluoramics Introduces Solvent-Free Spray Can for HinderRUST 4.0 Rust Inhibitor
> Fluoramics Inc., a leading manufacturer of sealants, greases, and rust inhibitors, has
introduced a solvent-free spray can for its HinderRUST® S4.0 rust inhibitor. Typical rust inhibitors use solvent-based aerosol propellants, which cannot be used in enclosed areas. By utilizing an innovative bag-on-valve (BoV) technology, the HinderRUST spray can uses no solvent-based propellants yet delivers a pin-point stream of aggressive rust inhibitors that simplifies and speeds application. The BoV system not only produces a
superior spray dispensor, but also achieves a more sustainable ecological footprint and safer application environment. Compared to traditional aerosol spray technology, the HinderRUST BoV system uses compressed air and delivers several benefits for industrial and commercial users as well as consumers: • HinderRUST dispenses in a pinpoint
stream capable of covering hard-to-reach surfaces up to 12 feet away. • The HinderRUST BoV dispenser requires
no pumping or straw and can be sprayed evenly from all angles, even upside down. • Unlike traditional aerosols, the BoV
system separates the rust inhibitor product from the propellants thanks to an FDA-approved laminated bag installed inside the aluminum can.
