Beating Rising Warehouse Costs with Flexible Racking
Have you considered the impact of growth on your warehouse? It’s a goal most companies hope to reach, but for warehouses it can also prove problematic. A growth in sales usually requires additional storage space but this can come with a hefty price tag. Moving to bigger premises will come with increased rental costs, moving fees and that’s before purchasing new racking. Fortunately, paying to move is not the only solution and instead you can look at altering your
racking. For example, reduce racking aisle widths to increase the number of runs, incorporate alternative storage systems like push-back racking to double storage density within the same space or add mezzanine floors. With over 30 years’ working within the storage equipment industry, Teepee understands the challenges facing warehouse owners.

Silverson Mixing Science Series
The Mixing Science series produced by Silverson Machines uses animations to explain and demonstrate a range of mixing topics and terms such as Homogenisation and Emulsions.
The one of latest animation to be released in the series explains the pumping capacity of high shear In-Line mixers. When mixing continuously in larger batches,
In-Line mixing is often the method chosen by manufacturers to get the best results; it also offers greater energy efficiency over in-tank mixers as the mixer’s effort is concentrated on the small volume in the mixing chamber rather than having to circulate the entire volume in the tank. But although Silverson In-Line mixers are self-pumping, some people think that they will need
a very powerful machine to recirculate the product back to the top of a large tank. The animation debunks this by explaining how a Silverson In-Line mixer can recirculate product in a large tank without the need for pumps or additional power

eCapital helps Vantage Recruitment
When Grant Kelly thought about setting up his own recruitment business, a conversation with eCapital’s regional managing director Richard Walker gave Livingston-based Grant all the information he needed to start his own business – Vantage Recruitment – and to see that business grow. It’s now not only one of the most successful providers
of drivers to local haulage firms throughout Scotland but can also provide the vehicles as well. The secret behind its growth is invoice finance, a cashflow solution that allows organisations to release cash from outstanding invoices. It not only provides fast access to immediate cash but also an ongoing source of funding
Prior to speaking to eCapital, Grant had no understanding of invoice financing: “Richard and
his team explained everything to me clearly, and without any pressure.” eCapital is able to advance cash to Vantage based on the value of its invoices whenever it’s needed: “By using eCapital I’ve been able to grow Vantage, and with their help, turned over around £1.2 million in first full year and closer to £1.8 million the year following.”

To ensure the safe, effective and efficient transfer of plant equipment into the basement energy room of a new residential tower block in London, a major construction project leveraged the advantages of appointing Hoist & Winch Ltd as its supplier of turnkey lifting equipment. Tasked with meeting the requirements of a technically challenging brief, Hoist & Winch demonstrated why it has become the nation’s go-to solution provider of high-quality lifting systems. Many new tower block development projects face a common challenge: how to install large, heavy pieces of equipment into the building’s energy centre, typically located in the basement. Specifying the optimal hoists is paramount to project success. Fortunately, the subcontractor supplying and installing the energy room’s plant for this particular project knew where to turn for a turnkey lifting solution: Hoist & Winch Ltd. Hoist & Winch has extensive experience in all kinds of construction and industrial lifting applications. The company offers sales, installation, service, inspection, repair and hire services, with a special emphasis on project work. Supplying the optimal solution, with safety as the number one priority, is always the objective. Hoist & Winch set about identifying the optimal solution by carefully assessing the specific lifting requirements. The project required the installation of hoists on both the upper and lower ground floor levels to ensure the successful lifting and transfer of large energy plant. It was clear from the outset that the solution would need to overcome the issue of very tight headroom clearances due to the size of the equipment. Hoist & Winch Ltd recommended two William Hacket low-headroom manual hoists, both with a hand-geared trolley. Offering a safe working load (SWL) of 2.5t each, the hoists provide 8m of lifting height and run on beam lengths of 8.5m and 7.0m. Following approval, the company commenced manufacture before delivery to site. During the installation phase, Hoist & Winch tested the installation anchor points to 1t before raising each beam into position using hand chain blocks. Elevating the beams to full height and clamping them hard against the concrete ceiling ready for drilling required the use of special lifting rigs. Once in position, the company proceeded with drilling operations and resin anchor installation for all ceiling anchor points after meticulously cleaning each hole with a special heavy-duty internal brush and suction pump. Following the specified resin curing time, Hoist & Winch tightened each anchor bolt to the required torque levels.
