Hoppecke launches new battery for heavy duty applications


In highly intensive operations, handling equipment and its traction batteries are often pushed to the limit during daily use. To tackle this, industrial battery specialist Hoppecke has launched a new range, purpose-designed for heavy duty applications. Featuring a unique


‘Connect Four' structure, the trak | uplift quadro offers four essential advantages. Running times are longer, as the technology delivers up to 75% more usable capacity compared to a classic PzS cell under load. Meanwhile, a fast-charging capability ensures better battery availability. Opportunity charging is possible without intensive equalisation charging and a Protective Shell Separator prevents short circuits due to mossing. The trak | uplift quadro's higher efficiency translates into energy savings of up to 8 per cent.


There are fewer cable temperature issues too, as the battery runs cooler for longer, effectively extending its service life. A new design incorporates an optimised pole and electrode concept. A reduced cell height,


special copper inserts, four poles instead of two and optimised connection of the electrodes all add up to enhanced conductivity. The trak |uplift quadro also has a significantly reduced internal resistance compared to the standard lead-acid battery. Consequently, the voltage level during discharge is stabilised, resulting in excellent high-current capability. Hoppecke's General Manager Stuart Browne says: "We're really excited about the new trak |


uplift quadro, which is purpose-designed to cope with high tonnage trucks and intensive operations where equipment typically runs all day. "Thanks to extended running times, high efficiency and a long lifecycle, the range is inherently flexible,


making it ideally suited to demanding applications such as construction, engineering and agriculture." Compatible with standard PzS chargers, the trak | uplift quadro is available in three variants. The standard 48-120v lead-acid battery comes with an electrolyte level indicator. Another


battery incorporates electrolyte circulation to eliminate acid stratification. The system switches on automatically and is practically maintenance-free. Finally, the trak | uplift quadro iQ comprises a high current battery with smart charging and intelligent control. It offers increased flexibility, as charging times are improved by up to three hours. This variant also enjoys the lowest maintenance costs and energy consumption is reduced by up to 19 per cent. The new trak | uplift quadro range is available from Hoppecke and all reputable MHE suppliers.

Unigloves launches new reusable hand protection solutions for the industrial and manufacturing sectors


Hand protection specialist Unigloves has launched of a new range of reusable gloves and specialist electrical safety gloves with specific solutions designed for workers in the industrial and manufacturing sectors.


The new Unigloves Nitrex industrial gloves range - https://bit.ly/38wWsiE - ensures truly


comprehensive hand protection against all major risk categories including chemical, cut, impact, thermal and electrical hazards.


Protective performance features


for the new gloves include cut, puncture and abrasion resistance, through to dry, wet and oil grip in addition to chemical resistance.


It also includes protective


sleeve and gauntlet options along with a range of dip coatings.


New surface technologies have


also been created including: NitreGrip™ Technology - a new, advanced surface treatment providing an assured grip when


working in dry, wet or oily conditions. NitreGuard™ Technology assuring high-performance in the straight blade cut test for workers


requiring cut protection. For those having to wear their gloves for extended periods of time or in warmer environments,


Unigloves has also incorporated Sanitized® Actifresh in selected products, a hygiene and odour control function integrated within the glove, neutralising odours and reducing microbial growth thanks to the addition of a biocidal product with active zinc pyrithione.


Joining Nitrex is the Sibille electricians range - https://bit.ly/38uwZX1 - providing dielectric


and arc flash protection from 500 volts to 36,000 volts. Supporting the range is comprehensive ancillary equipment including leather over gloves, cotton under gloves, storage containers and safety checking equipment.


“The Nitrex and Sibille ranges are a truly comprehensive addition to our existing single use


protective gloves, enabling us to offer workers enhanced hand protection against the major workplace hand hazards,” said Karen Cresswell of Unigloves.


“This is a major development and further secures our position as one of the few dedicated


hand protection manufacturers left in the market with high performance hand protection solutions backed by excellent levels of customer service delivered through a highly experienced, knowledgeable and friendly team,” added Karen.
