RICHMOND, VA (PRWEB) March 13, 2006
The Jungheinrich Lift Truck Corp., a world leader in warehouse logistics technology, is announcing the AM 2200 hand pallet truck, the ideal "storage aid" for all tasks involving manual transportation of goods over short distances.
This new warehousing work-horse, rated at an impressive maximum load capacity of 5500 lbs, will offer your operation many advantages, including a tiller handle that allows for effortless and safe maneuvering of the load by either right- or left-handed operators – even with just one hand on the tiller. And maneuverability in confined spaces is no problem with this new hand pallet truck, given its short head-length of only 14.7 inches.
What's more, the truck's optimally-designed hydraulic system will allow your operators to pump a pallet clear off the ground with only three strokes of the unit's differentiator mechanism, while just five strokes will take the load to the truck's maximum lift height of 4.8 inches. A fast-lift feature like this will save your operation time and money. A precision valve permits a gentle lowering and precise set-down of the load. One very useful ergonomic feature worth noting is an embossed marking indicating the exact safe pallet position for cross-wise pallet pick-up.
The push-pull motions of day-to-day use of the truck will be smooth, quiet and effortless, thanks to its ball-bearing wheels and Teflon-coated joints. The steering wheels feature an aluminum hub with bearing cap. These features mean the truck will be essentially maintenance free, with no need for lubrication. And you'll find the AM 2200 is robust, boasting strong hardened-steel forks with rounded tips, protected entry rollers, and a welded tiller mounting.
An extensive array of optional equipment will make this new hand pallet truck adapt to any application you may have. For example, additional available features include a range of fork lengths and fork-spacing widths, various braking systems -- even special paint. In addition, several load wheel materials are available to ensure optimal operation on any floor surfaces present in your facility. Also available are special versions of the truck's structural members, including trucks built with special steels or galvanized variants.
For more information about the new AM 2200, contact Jungheinrich Lift Truck Corp., 5701 Eastport Boulevard, Richmond, VA 2323. Call 888-333-2644 toll free, or phone 804-737-6084. FAX 804-737-6131. Or, visit the website at www.jungheinrich-us.com.

Mount Kisco, NY (PRWEB) October 15, 2005
According to e-forklift.com, a truck mounted forklift insures that the truck driver won't have to waste valuable time waiting for someone to unload the cargo once it is delivered to its destination. Truck mounted forklifts are mounted on the truck during the transportation of the materials. Once the cargo is delivered, the truck driver can unload it independently and not have to wait for anyone to help. The truck driver just disengages the forklift from the truck, unloads the cargo, reconnects the forklift, and is free to leave.
As e-Forklift.com explains, a company called Moffett-Kooi invented the first truck mounted forklift in the Netherlands nearly 40 years ago. Their original idea was to create a way for truck drivers to independently unload their cargo of tulip bulbs to farmers. The early models of truck mounted forklifts have since evolved into revolutionary tools that save businesses an immeasurable amount of time and money.
The forklift is nearly always attached to the back of the truck. Sometimes the forklift is secured in the bed of the truck, but this is fairly uncommon. The forklift is usually attached to the back of the truck by sliding the forks securely under the bed. The forklift is further secured with hooks, chains, or latches that keep the forklift from shifting or moving when the truck is in motion.
Trucks must be high enough off of the ground to allow the forklift to be suspended in the air, and the rear axles need to be far enough away from the back of the truck for the front wheels of the forklift to be able to fit under the truck. It is important that truck drivers have a professional install a truck mounted forklift system to insure it is compatible with the truck

Stevens Point, WI (PRWEB) June 2, 2007
In a warehouse or other storage facility, safety of both personnel and material must be the paramount concern. Every year, forklift accidents account for thousands of serious injuries and dozens of deaths in industrial facilities. Additionally, tens of thousands to millions of dollars are lost in material damage from fork truck collisions with other equipment, pallet racks, and merchandise. To increase safety, facilities are instituting a powerful one-two punch with the industry's most impact-resistant pallet rack, fortified with Column Core column reinforcement, and Steel Guard guardrails.
Column Core
One vital aspect to this kind of protection is taking care of a facility's pallet racks--a hefty investment subject to considerable abuse. "Wherever there is a lot of damage to uprights, it's usually occurring because the fork truck drivers are using the uprights as guides," says Kurt Larson, Central Regional Sales Manager for Steel King, Inc. "They're bumping the uprights on the front or the sides, coming around corners, and bumping into the lower portion of the frame."
The most rugged solution to consistent rack damage available today is Steel King's SK2000 tubular boltless pallet rack--the benchmark system in the storage market--reinforced with a C-shaped column insert called the Column Core. The SK2000, with its fully welded, all tubular uprights, is already 2 1/2 times more impact resistant than its open-column, bolt-together competition. With the Column Core added it becomes a full 5 times more impact resistant at the front corners and sides where the uprights are most vulnerable.
Column Core is a factory-installed option to Steel King's SK2000 tubular, boltless pallet rack. With Column Core installed, companies retain full adjustability of their pallet storage rack beams, reduce puncturing, buckling and torsional twisting of their pallet storage rack uprights, and increased protection without any additional installation costs.
Because most forklift damage is in the lower 48 inches of rack uprights, that is where the Column Core is usually installed and where it will provide the most benefit. Column Core is sold in standard heights from 6 to 96 inches, in 6-inch increments, and custom heights are available upon request.
Steel Guard
For the protection of personnel, equipment and stored goods, installation of heavy-duty steel guardrails in facilities is essential. "Any company with any sort of industrial traffic greatly benefits from protection of personnel against forklift or other motorized traffic," says Jay Anderson, president of Steel King. "This would include a broad spectrum of operations, including warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities."
Strength is the prime concern in the choosing and implementation of such rails, and Steel King's Steel Guard meets and exceeds requirements for most installations. The rugged specs include a 14"-high, 3-ribbed design in 11 gauge corrugated steel--the most rigid rail currently available--utilizing 3 bolts at each end for mounting on 4-inch square 1/4-inch thick heavy-duty structural steel columns which are then bolted to the floor.
The rails are customizable to needed lengths and can be single-rail or double-rail in height. In addition to the standard bolted-to-post system, an optional lift-out/drop-in rail system is available which maintains accessibility to material or equipment while providing uninterrupted protection.
Combined together, the Column-Core-reinforced SK2000 pallet rack and Steel Guard guardrails, both from Steel King, provide durable, long-lasting protection and mean substantial reduction or elimination of damage to pallet racks, stored goods, equipment, and most important of all, personnel.

Global Hydraulic Equipment Market to Reach US$ 38.9 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, CA (Vocus) September 10, 2010
As a technology that utilizes fluid power to generate mechanical power, hydraulics outshines its nearest competing technology pneumatics. Today, hydraulic equipment is used in a wide range of application markets covering agriculture, military, construction, industrial machinery, oil & mining and automotives, among others. In the automotive sector, hydraulic systems are used in forklift trucks, aircrafts and cranes, among others. The international market is characterized by maturing end-use applications, heightened competition, declining revenues, and increased bargaining power of consumers. The market continues to witness significant consolidation at manufacturers' as well as at distributors' end triggered by the need to assimilate comprehensive end-to-end manufacturing, and distribution capabilities.
Market prospects for hydraulic equipment are largely dependent on the health of key end-use markets and the setback witnessed in value and volume sales of hydraulic equipment over the last two years thus comes as no surprise. The erosion in market value can be particularly attributed to the impact of the economic slowdown on the construction and industrial machinery sector, which are among the most prominent end-use markets for hydraulic equipment across the globe. Sales of earthmoving and mining equipment have especially come under the yoke of the recession with shortages in finances and budgetary constrains suppressing demand. Additionally, lethargy in construction activity in most parts of the world, particularly the industrialized nations, has tranquilized demand for most construction equipment such forklifts, construction cranes, road rollers and ground machines, all of which use mobile hydraulic components.
With industries such as textile, paper, rubber working, beverage, plastics also bearing the brunt of the financial meltdown, demand for hydraulic components used in industrial machinery also slipped southwards. Easing of lending restrictions and recovery in construction and mining industries in the post recession period is expected to re-infuse vigor into the demand patterns in the market.
Other factors expected to drive growth in the hydraulic equipment market in the post recession period include technology innovations, and adroit marketing strategies that squarely target newer, revenue generating, emerging product markets. As stated by the new market research report on hydraulic equipment, the US continues to remain the largest regional market for hydraulic equipment. Replacements and upgrades generate a lion's share of the demand in this market. Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan) is the fastest growing regional market poised to reach US$ 5.9 billion by the year 2012, driven largely by rapid industrialization and infrastructure development.
By product, the pumps and motors market represents the largest segment. The Valves market is the second largest product market. Strong demand for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as an inexpensive and clean source of electricity, especially in developing countries, is creating substantial demand for transportation, storage, and distribution infrastructure, which require huge quantities of control vales, thereby driving demand for hydraulic valves.
Major players in the marketplace include Bailey International Corporation, Bosch Rexroth Corporation, Daikin Industries Ltd., Dongyang Mechatronics Corporation, Eaton Corporation, Feintool Group, Iskra Avtoelektrika, Kayaba Industry Company Ltd, Moog Inc., Nabtesco Corporation, Nachi-Fujikoshi Corp, Parker Hannifin Corporation, Commercial Hydraulics Inc, Sauer-Danfoss Inc, Toshiba Machine Co Ltd, Wipro Infrastructure Engineering Ltd., and Yuken Kogyo Co Ltd, among others

METTLER TOLEDO is pleased to introduce the VFS220 On-Board Forklift Scale. Whether shipping, receiving, or managing inventory, weighing can be an extra step that slows down an operation. The METTLER TOLEDO VFS220 forklift scale changes that, enabling users to obtain accurate weight readings without transporting every load to and from a scale.
The VFS220 is designed as an aftermarket add-on to any ITA Class II carriage forklift. It consists of two components: a scale carriage assembly (5,000 lbs x 5 lbs NTEP approved), which is installed between the forklift truck's lift bracket and forks, and a scale controller, which is mounted on the forklift truck's head guard. Here are just a few highlights of the forklift scale:
Easy Installation: Mounting the VFS220 scale carriage on a forklift truck is as easy as installing forks. Just hang the scale on the lift bracket; adjust the locating tab; and tighten two clamps. No welding or shimming is required.
Wireless Scale Communication: The moving scale carriage communicates with the controller by radio signal. Unlike other forklift scales, it is not connected to the controller by cables that can be damaged or cause maintenance problems. The strong radio signal is adjustable, with a range of power settings and channels.
Maximum Visibility: The scale is designed for improved safety and productivity. The center of the carriage is open, providing a high-visibility window that makes it easy for the forklift operator to see loads and position forks for lifting.
Exceptional Accuracy: Our patented split-flexure design provides greater weighing accuracy and repeatability than standard flexures. By increasing flexibility, it allows the scale to transfer load to the load cells more effectively.
Touch Screen Operation: A user-friendly touch screen makes the scale controller easy to operate. It allows the forklift operator to complete a variety of weighing transactions in a few simple steps. Administrators have access to setup screens for customizing weighing operations.
Wireless Network: With a wireless network adapter, the scale controller can transmit data instantly to a wireless local area network. The PC card adapter uses standard Wi-Fi protocol for compatibility with any network. Because the controller utilizes Flash Memory, it will not lose data if the network goes down.
Weighing Capabilities: METTLER TOLEDO VFS220 forklift scales are programmed with the capabilities to perform a full range of weighing tasks:
Gross weighing
Net weighing with push-button tare
Net weighing with keyboard tare
Accumulating gross weights

New Bremen, OH (PRWEB) September 14, 2010
Crown Equipment Corporation unveiled today a Class V Crown C-5 Series pneumatic industrial forklift for heavy-duty and outdoor applications. The Crown C-5 offers 12 percent more low-end torque than the leading competitor, delivers a lifespan up to two times longer resulting in 87 percent less maintenance checks than comparable forklifts, and comes equipped with a 90 percent larger brake pad surface than traditional drum brakes.
Market Trends and Issues
Historically, Class V forklifts have been characterized by frequent maintenance, excessive downtime and shortened lifespan that limit operator productivity in heavy-duty, outdoor and industrial forklift applications.
During the Crown C-5 pneumatic model design phase, the company learned that the lifespan of industrial forklifts operating in harsh conditions was shortened because of clogged radiators.
Sub-par performance is one of the predominant downfalls of existing Class V forklifts that rely on automotive-style engines and inadequate braking systems not designed for tough industrial applications.
Multiple challenges associated with comfort, stability and visibility hampered the drivability of existing IC forklifts. For example, ergonomic tests showed operator pressure points in traditional IC forklift seats created discomfort and reduced productivity for operators spending most of their day on the forklift.
Core News Facts
The Crown C-5 Series pneumatic model is equipped with an industrial 2.4-liter John Deere engine, a dual open-core radiator that offers independent engine and transmission cooling, a power brake, and solid pneumatic tires as standard features.
The industrial forklift is available in capacities ranging from 4,000 pounds to 6,500 pounds, delivers a lifespan up to two times longer than comparable IC forklifts and lowers scheduled maintenance checks by 87 percent.
The Crown C-5 industrial forklift's low-end torque has 12 percent more low-end torque than the leading competitor--improving performance during acceleration, working on ramps with load, and pushing heavy loads.
The self-adjusting power brake on this Crown forklift has fewer moving parts and a 90 percent larger brake pad surface than traditional drum brakes, which translates into a lifespan that is three times longer and requires 93 percent fewer maintenance checks.
The Crown C-5 industrial forklift has a dual open-core radiator with separate cooling systems for the engine and transmission. Businesses using the forklift in extreme, dirty environments can choose to add an innovative On-Demand Cooling System to the Crown forklift that automatically clears the radiator of debris and provides precise cooling to effectively manage heat.
All models of the Crown C-5 Series are equipped with standard features that improve the overall operator experience, including the Crown FlexSeat™ that alleviates common operator pressure points.
The Crown C-5 also redirects heat and exhaust away from operators during reverse travel, facilitates entry/exit with larger steps, utilizes a contoured seat deck, and provides an unobtrusive push-button parking brake.
Fleet optimization and overall fuel efficiency can be improved on the Crown C-5 through use of the Crown InfoLink® wireless fleet and operator management system. InfoLink allows managers to quickly identify and prioritize issues around compliance, impact and equipment performance.
InfoLink works with Crown Equipment eSmart™ Accurate Fuel Tracking, which is a standard feature on the Crown C-5, to gain access to fuel data by operator, truck, performance level, fleet and location.
Performance levels of the Crown C-5 can be set via the on-board display to conserve fuel in Economy Mode or improve throughput in Productivity Mode.
Crown Equipment entered the IC industrial forklift market in November 2009 with its first company manufactured product after more than 50 years of manufacturing exclusively electric forklifts.
Quotes Attributable to Jim Dicke III, president, Crown Equipment Corporation
When we entered the IC market in 2009 with the Crown C-5 Series cushion forklifts, we were responding to our customers' requests for more durable and productive IC forklifts that were easier to maintain. Now we are solving similar problems for the Class V market with the Crown C-5 Series pneumatic model.
The unique challenges of indoor and outdoor heavy-duty applications require a different type of industrial forklift than what the market has grown accustomed to using.
The breakthrough features of the Crown C-5 will change a pneumatic forklift operator's expectation for performance and productivity.
Quotes Attributable to Andy Smith, Marketing Product Manager, Crown Equipment Corporation
Rough terrain and heavy loads such as lumber, stone and clay have challenged the confidence of the best forklift operators.
Standard features on the Crown C-5 promote operator confidence in the toughest applications such as manufacturing, recycling centers, and brick and lumber yards. Durability starts with a robust steel frame that serves as the forklift's backbone. Performance is improved thanks to the John Deere industrial engine, dual open-core radiator, a self-adjusting power brake, and solid pneumatic tires that negotiate a wide array of uneven surfaces.
eSmart™ Accurate Fuel Tracking technology alerts operators when fuel levels are below 16 minutes and in doing so increases productivity by reducing the time spent unnecessarily changing fuel tanks or being stranded during transport.

Best Forklift's website (http://www.bestforkliftservice.com) features forklift parts, specialty items, and other material handling supplies. "There's a lot of revenue potential for them online, but also a lot of competition. By using ethical optimization techniques I expect to 'rev' up their Internet visibility and help them gain more of the online market share," says Renea Blanck, SEO Consultant. (http://www.expertseoconsultant.com).
Many small businesses find it difficult to afford online marketing like SEO. Blanck has launched a pilot program in which small businesses can implement such strategies at no risk. In other words, no business, no charge. What's the catch? Clients who partake in this program are charged according to an agreed upon percentage of the online sales brought in by SEO efforts.
"We are very excited with this new venture," Says Jim Nicholson, CEO, Best Forklift Service. "Renea provided the expertise we needed and developed an affordable, easy-to-use website for us. It was natural to approach her again when we were ready for SEO."
"I've had a long-standing relationship with Best Forklift and wanted very much to see them succeed online," remarks Blanck. "I've had great success achieving high search rankings for clients in the past, so I was confident I could do the same for them. While I don't get paid unless we succeed, I feel it's really win-win."
This type of partnership, if proven successful, may potentially give rise to a new way of doing business for other SEO firms. And the success of this venture could potentially level the playing field for many other small organizations.

Torrance, CA (PRWEB) April 3, 2008
Lincoln Poultry, a complete food service distributor, had outgrown its main distribution center and various satellite sites. To improve distribution efficiency, accuracy and service to customers on more than 8,000 items required consolidating distribution in a larger, single location with a state-of-the-art pallet rack system.
The company purchased an existing food service distribution facility and began optimizing its design layout with the help of Lift Solutions, a full service material handling distributor/integrator.
"We needed a high capacity, high strength rack system able to withstand inevitable fork truck impacts with minimal maintenance," says Neal Lyons, Lincoln Poultry's CFO. "To suit our product range and give options if our product mix changes, we needed a versatile rack with flexibility in beam size and placement."
On Lift Solutions' recommendation, the company turned to the SK3000 pallet rack, a rugged bolted rack with structural channel columns, by Steel King, a leading manufacturer of storage rack and material handling products.
While on-site ship dates helped Lincoln Poultry meet its distribution center opening deadline, a number of rack features helped the company meet its strength, durability, maintenance and versatility goals.
Compared to typical racking, the SK3000 pallet rack, constructed of hot-rolled structural channel column with full horizontal-diagonal bracing, offers greater frame strength, durability and cross-sectional area. All grade-5 hardware provides greater shear strength, and a heavy 7-gauge wrap-around connector plate ensures a square and plumb installation with a tighter connection and greater moment resistance.
For added protection against fork truck impact, Lift Solutions recommended and Steel King provided a 72" reinforced front column for each frame/upright, heavy horizontals, and a bullnose angle column protector.
"We spend virtually no time repairing rack legs, fixing rack ends, or stringing beams like we did at our old facilities," says Lyons. We're realizing substantial savings in uptime and reduced maintenance."
The SK3000 pallet rack provides strength and flexible rack configuration with a choice of 3", 4" or 5" channel columns with single or double reinforcement. A secure, adjustable bolted beam connection with two bolts per beam end creates greater moment capacity and 57% more strength than single bolt design. Upright columns are punched at 4' vertical centers, while beam connectors are specially punched to allow 2" beam adjustability for more efficient use of storage rack space.
"The flexible design of the rack allowed us to create pick slots for each of our items, increasing our pick accuracy and efficiency," says Lyons. "Due to the rack and other improvements, we've cut pick errors in half. We've also boosted pick efficiency by four cases an hour, which translates into $ 50,000 in annual savings."
Of benefit to Lincoln Poultry's food service customers is the rack's continuously welded, one-piece construction, which unlike typical racks, has no ledge to catch pallets, trap dirt or debris. "We've optimized distribution to our food service customers with the pallet rack strength, durability and adjustability, along with other facility improvements," concludes Lyons. "That helps our customers get the right products at the right time and price, so they can best serve their customers and grow their businesses."

For many years copper has been the main raw material used by the Mexican artisans of Santa Clara del Cobre for the fabrication of their beautiful artisan items. Originally artisans relied on the natural supply of copper of their lands for the fabrication of their items. But has the supply of the original sources has decreased and the demand for items as copper sinks (http://www.copper-sinks-mexico.com) has increased they have had to think and look for new and alternate sources of copper material.
Thankfully they have found a reliable source of copper in the recycling industry. Trucks loaded with tons of copper junk coming form many parts in central Mexico arrive every week and deliver their precious load to the artisans shops. Artisans pay the load of copper according to the cleanness of the material, the cleaner your copper the closer you will get to be paid at the international market prices of pure copper, a metal that lately has been increasing in its price steeply making this recycling business more profitable for the copper gatherers. Though all junk serves, artisans specially avoid junk made of copper wires covered with too much soldering due to the harming potential that this impurities have for the very characteristic look of their handmade copper items.
The high demand and good price paid for copper junk has created a new industry of copper gatherers in central Mexico with a number of benefits for the environment turning old useless junk yards into a profitable mine of copper and preserving natural copper sources for more strategic applications. And at the same time it has also benefited the economy of the abundant population of this region of Mexico that has seen a growing industrialization in recent years.
So now, many people may have one more reason to buy a copper sink; that they are environmental friendly.

Videocast: Achieving Real-Time Inventory Visibility + Optimizing Lift Truck Performance in the DC
Kansas City, KS (Vocus) August 30, 2010
Rush Tracking Systems and Supply Chain Digest will present an informational videocast on how to leverage new RFID and Real-Time Lift truck positioning technology in plant warehouses and distribution centers to optimize the three core components of effective warehouse management:
Inventory Management
Labor Management
Vehicle Management
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
11:30am Eastern / 10:30am Central / 8:30am Pacific
Presenter:
Toby Rush, President and CEO
Rush Tracking Systems
and
Dan Gilmore
Editor, Supply Chain Digest
Managing today's plant warehouses and distribution centers has never been more challenging. That's especially true if a DC is lacking real-time data collection to know exactly where every piece of inventory is, all the time, in real-time. Many bar code based tracking systems can't deliver that today, based on inherent technology limitations and lack of scanning discipline in DC processes.
Not only does that lead to inventory errors and other expensive operational problems, the lack of near 100% inventory accuracy and real-time visibility can also have a significant impact on lift truck driver productivity, inventory storage layout and vehicle asset utilization.
Rush Tracking Systems will explain why many companies should look past traditional bar code-based tracking systems in favor of error-proof RFID technology, which will not only eliminate the question of "Where is my inventory?", but also take lift truck productivity and asset management to new levels of performance.
Join Rush Tracking Systems and Supply Chain Digest for this educational event that will add to your knowledge about the latest technology available to warehouse and distribution center managers.

Top Floor Wins Web Design Award
New Berlin, WI (PRWEB) November 1, 2010
Top Floor Technologies, a B2B web design and search marketing firm in New Berlin, WI, has taken home two 2010 W3 Silver Awards for its work on the new Wausaukee Composites website. The distinguished awards were for visual appeal and corporate communications.
"This an honor for us," said Jim Bernthal, Top Floor's owner, "We're thrilled to be recognized by such a respected organization for our creative and strategic design capabilities."
The W3 Awards are sought by numerous marketing & design firms across the country because of their renowned expertise in identifying cutting edge creativity and their ability to lend credibility to companies looking to expand their recognition as a design leader in the industry. According to the W3 Awards website, the W3 Awards "honors creative excellence on the web, and recognizes the creative and marketing professionals behind award winning sites, videos and marketing programs."
For the Wausaukee Composites website, Top Floor's Creative Director Jon Balza had to find a way to convey the excellence and innovation Wausaukee Composites builds and delivers its products, which include highly-engineered composite components for OEM customers in the construction equipment and agricultural equipment industries, among others. Balza used the company's brand colors within creative transparent designs over a dark background. This allowed the company's product images to really stand out, drawing the user in and keeping their attention.
"I'm really proud of this website," said Balza. "I think we did a good job of matching the client's desired brand image with a compelling look for their website."
Regarding the W3 Silver Award, Balza was elated, but wasn't content. "Next year we're shooting for a gold!"
