Stertil scissor lift ensures safety in confined space S


tertil Dock Products has installed a scissor lift to ensure safe handling operations for a leading retailer at its store in Brixton.


The 1500kg capacity electro-hydraulic scissor lift transports a variety of


roll cages, garment rails and plastic dollies between a goods receiving area and the shop floor. Due to an extremely confined working space, the lift was delivered as a set of components which were then assembled on site by Stertil’s installation engineers. Although the distance between the two levels is less than a metre,

continue to milk ultra-efficiency thanks to Joloda International


hird-party logistics provider, Great Bear Distribution, has taken delivery of two new tri-axle curtainsider


trailers for its long-standing contract with Cereal Partners Worldwide, each fitted with the ultra-efficient Hydraroll loading system from Joloda International. Joloda’s specialist conveyor system, which was


introduced by Great Bear to Cereal Partners' South West factory and distribution centre in 2007, incorporates a moving slipchain floor built into both the loading bay and trailer. It is capable of loading or unloading up to 30 tonnes in as little as 90 seconds – a process that would ordinarily take around 20 minutes. The two new Don Bur 13.6-metre curtainsiders replace


the original trailers that have been in constant operation since the Joloda system was installed. Each trailer clocks up around 52,000 km annually, making 12 collections and deliveries per day, 365 days a year. The significant boost in operational efficiency Joloda's slipchain technology creates has resulted in close to 35,000 hours of labour saved, which equates to £250,000.

Stertil Dock Products ensured that the lift complied with stringent Health & Safety regulations. The adjacent control panel incorporates up/down push buttons plus a hi-vis emergency stop button which is replicated by another installed on the lift. Also, the lift’s doors and sides are fully enclosed to prevent hands and feet becoming trapped.

Why the choice of motor can decrease a production line’s power consumption T


It is becoming increasingly important to save both money and environmental resources in the manufacturing


industry. An excellent way to do that is to cut down on the electricity consumption. There is a lot of equipment in the manufacturing industry that has the potential to be more energy efficient, such as ovens and machines. Also, the production flow solution has a large potential to decrease the overall energy consumption. In order to decrease the power consumption of the production flow solution, it is crucial to choose the right


motor with the right control system. Flexlink

Munich became too small and the company decided to build a new facility to provide space for around 250,000 pallet and container spaces. GEBHARDT Fördertechnik won over Avnet with their high degree of efficiency and the long-lasting operational reliability of their plants, in addition to the individual advice and support. Their expertise enabled GEBHARDT to provide a highly

here are several factors that affect the power consumption in the manufacturing industry. One of them


is to choose the right motor for the conveyor line and to operate the motor in the correct way. This helps to decrease the consumption, improve efficiency and, in turn, save money. A suitable motor for the manufacturing industry should be energy efficient, powerful and silent.


I Robust well-specified hoists for general industry


n an era when the industrial world is becoming ever- larger, there is a growing responsibility on equipment


suppliers to make sure the market has everything it requires to function safely, reliably, efficiently and cost effectively. With this notion in mind, J D Neuhaus (JDN) has always had a policy of continuous investment in its class-leading range of hoists and cranes for the general industrial marketplace. JDN has been at the vanguard of hoist and crane


technology for over 270 years, whether for moving heavy or light loads. The company’s range today is broad and feature-rich, ensuring virtually every type of general application can be served. Products available include pneumatic cranes, C-rail/light crane systems, pneumatic hoists (Profi, Mini and M ranges), manipulators, trolleys (including low headroom versions), big bag handling hoists and monorail hoists. Such products have become the mainstay of general manufacturing and process operations around the world as a myriad of industrial tasks demand lifting and manoeuvring, which without mechanical assistance would prove unproductive.
