GoBob Pipe & Steel?s New Trailer Designs Help Prevent Metal Fatigue from Ending the Useful Life of Heavy-duty Flatbed Trailers

GoBob Pipe & Steel's New Trailer Designs Help Prevent Metal Fatigue from Ending the Useful Life of Heavy-duty Flatbed Trailers

(PRWEB) August 23, 2013

When equipment and supplies must be moved on or off-road cost effectively, farms and small businesses depend on heavy-duty flatbed trailers – yet metal fatigue sends many to the scrap mill too soon. "Many features of new GoBob Pipe & Steel trailers help extend the life of each unit."

The repeated loading and unloading of heavy items, such as tractors, pipe, and farm implements, can strain a trailer's frame and supports. So can loads brought in from the side, trailer flex from loads coming up the ramp, and stress from driving through fields, ditches, over berms, railroad tracks and rough terrain. If the loads are above a certain threshold, microscopic cracks will begin to form. Eventually a crack will reach a critical size, and the metal will suddenly fracture.

"You'd be surprised at how much metal fatigue occurs if you run standard channel iron or angle iron built trailers at the maximum allowable load," says Philip McCullough, who was raised on a farm and is now General Manager at Gajeske Inc., a Houston-based distributor of polyethylene pipe, valves, fittings, fabrications and fusion equipment. "If you start seeing micro fractures, you have to act quickly or they can turn into a much bigger problem. Previously, we had to retire trailers because they started cracking.

"According to McCullough, when a manufacturer does not support critical areas of the trailer, metal fatigue can develop and "creep" throughout the trailer. As other areas compensate for the metal fatigue, they become overstressed themselves.

Knowing what to look for in a heavy duty flatbed trailer can prevent metal fatigue and safely, cost-effectively extend its useful life. First, it must be properly engineered to protect the main beam. The flatbed boards can be replaced, the tires can be replaced, the couplers can be replaced, but if the main beam develops metal fatigue, the trailer will not last.

McCullough, who recently purchased six heavy-duty Red Rhino flatbed trailers offered by GoBob Pipe and Steel, a manufacturer of farm and work trailers that meet or exceed NATM and DOT requirements, identified a number of features that gave him confidence in their reliability and longevity. Given about 50,000 annual miles of use per trailer, McCullough estimates ROI as fast as 18 months on the new flatbed trailers in reduced maintenance-replacement cost and streamlined operations.

"One thing I looked for was a torsion tube under the trailer frame that can take twisting stress from loading and unloading off the main beam," says McCullough. The Red Rhino torsion tube, made of 4-1/2" OD pipe running down center of the trailer frame, is tied to the main beam at three points.

A second flatbed trailer feature to look for is rectangular steel tubing used in the frame, bumper, and tail lights. The four-sided structural shape of rectangular steel tubing can add strength without much weight, maximizing payload capacity. Yet most trailer manufacturers use channel iron – or worse, angle iron – for side rails, cross-members, and rear bumpers.

"Rectangular steel tubing like GoBob's tends to disperse stress more evenly with its four sides than channel iron, where the trailer flex is concentrated on a two-sided weld, if the manufacturer welds it at all," says McCullough. "Unlike angle iron which tends to rust and accumulate debris, rectangular tubing is stronger and stays cleaner.

"Because the rear bumper is susceptible to impact from the loading tractor and rough ground, it has to be tough. Additionally, it should be positioned to protect taillights from being torn out, particularly in a dovetail configuration where the lights sit closer to the ground. For added protection, Red Rhino trailer bumpers use the same rectangular steel tubing the frame is constructed from. The taillights, including wiring, are enclosed in frame material and protected by the bumper, to deter the loader or rough ground from knocking them off.

"Unless the loader aims for the taillights, they're just about impossible to tear up," says McCullough. "In our low-slung dovetail configuration, our tail lights have drug on rough ground without damage.

"To reduce stress when loading and unloading, a reinforced ramp is also important. This can transfer loading weight to the ground and keep additional flexing off of the main beam and structure.

Some ramps come standard with adjustable, spring assisted, load equalizers, which can relieve stress on the trailer's main beam and enable the loading of standalone trailers, unhitched to a truck. This can streamline loading and unloading operations tremendously. Without load equalizers, unequal equipment loading can stress the trailer's main beams and even lift the rear end of the truck when the load is heavy.

"Look for a reinforced ramp and load equalizers," says McCullough. "Without them, you get trailer flex from the load coming up the ramp. An unequalized load pushes the trailer down in back and lifts the front, with the weight pivoting on the axles, adding unnecessary stress and metal fatigue".

Since we have multiple drivers and trailers, I sometimes need to load a trailer before I have a driver," adds McCullough. "With the reinforced ramp and load equalizers, I can leave a trailer loaded for the driver, which streamlines operations.

When he gets in, he just backs up, unhooks the old trailer, hooks up the new trailer, and leaves. I don't pay overtime for staff waiting for the driver to arrive, or to share a forklift. By pre-loading the trailers, we can save from an hour to half a day in staffing cost. "When Rick Yount, owner of a farm in the rural greater Sacramento, Calif. area, bought a new flatbed trailer, longevity, customization and value were the issues he focused on.

"If you load an inferior trailer, metal fatigue can get you in trouble quick if it causes you to drop your load," says Yount, whose previous 20-foot tandem flatbed trailer was not long enough to haul his tractor, mower, rototiller, scrapers, hydraulic disc, and other equipment and supplies as needed.

Yount compared a number of trailers, but found what he was seeking in a 26-foot Red Rhino flatbed trailer with a 6-foot beaver tail ramp.

"At a glance you can tell the GoBob trailer is built to last, and they were willing to customize it at a price that beat 99 percent of the manufacturers I looked at," concludes Yount. "Under the flatbed, instead of 24 or 18-inch cross bracing, channel iron, and no paint, I got 16-inch centered cross bracing, rectangular steel tubing, and full paint. I got a steel main deck, built long to haul all my implements, and a reinforced 6-foot ramp for easy loading at a gentle angle. My flatbed trailer will last the rest of my life, and then my son will use it.

"GoBob Pipe and Steel offers a complete selection of flatbed trailers and hay trailers, including a new Red Rhino Hydraulic Dovetail trailer, featuring the unique (patent pending) HydraSled, hydraulic dovetail locking system.

New to You Promotion on Materials Handling Equipment at A Plus Warehouse

Big Blue Storage Cabinet

Lincoln,Nebraska (PRWEB) July 23, 2013

A Plus Warehouse knows that customer crave an interesting and changing list of products. It is one of the goals of A Plus Warehouse to provide customers with such an experience. Old customers know that the company is a highly qualified distributor, offering a wide range of products at low prices. This is why such customers keep coming back. However, others have yet to order anything from A Plus Warehouse. This is why the company is now offering the New to You promotion. According to Ed Stairman, president of A Plus Warehouse, "Although A Plus Warehouse is an older company, it may be new to some customers hence the New to You promotion. These potential customer will love our storage and materials handling equipment." In the New to You promotion, any new customer receives a 5% discount on their order. The company hopes that this incentive encourages new customers.

Obviously, a new customer would want to know what the company has to offer. A Plus Warehouse distributes all sorts of materials handling and storage equipment. The company offers hundreds of products including lockers, shelving, work benches, plastic bins, mats, conveyors, cabinets, racks, platform trucks, scissor lifts, lift trucks, ladders, casters, and much more. If a press release were written about every single product available at A Plus Warehouse, it would reach 100 pages easily. However readers may get a bit bored reading a whole novel about storage and material handling equipment at A Plus Warehouse!

It is important that customers know that A Plus Warehouse is a distributor of equipment, not a manufacturer. This means that the company's sole job is to sell the products, not make the products. The company takes pride in having a large variety from trusted manufacturers such as Hallowell, Vestil , Weso, and many others. A Plus Warehouse is very thankful for their manufacturers because without them, the company wouldn't be in business. It also works in the inverse. Without distributors, manufacturing plants would go out of business.

When ordering a product from A Plus Warehouse, customers know that they are talking to a knowledgeable sales person. Every sales person at A Plus Warehouse is a true professional. In addition, all sales people are in the U.S.A and work full time. A Plus Warehouse does not and will never outsource.

Stertil-Koni Research Shows Next Generation In-Ground Vehicle Lifts Reshaping Bus and Truck Maintenance Facilities in North America

The DIAMOND LIFT, in-ground telescopic piston lift, has a lifting capacity up to 90,000 lbs. and is engineered for maximum protection against corrosion and wear.

Stevensville, MD (PRWEB) August 14, 2013

The capital-intensive world of heavy duty bus and truck maintenance facilities in North America has been quietly undergoing a remarkable transformation in recent years, as evidenced by the growing use of "next generation" vehicle lifting technology –notably advanced, eco-friendly in-ground lifts.

According to a recent market analysis by heavy duty lift leader Stertil-Koni, driving the change has been key technological advancements in hydraulic vehicle lifting systems which combine to measurably improve performance, environmental containment and safety. The company's recently introduced DIAMOND LIFT is a case in point. It is a telescopic piston lift with a very modern approach.

Noted Stertil-Koni president, Dr. Jean DellAmore, "From top to bottom, DIAMOND LIFT has been engineered to capture the very best of an old-world lifting approach and then integrate the latest materials and systems to elevate it to new heights. For example, its piston rods are hard-chrome plated for maximum protection against corrosion and wear -- thus optimized to handle the harsh environments of today's busy workshops. Further, from an environmental standpoint, the DIAMOND LIFT, which has a total lifting capacity of up to 96,000 lbs., utilizes biodegradable oil and the upper portion of the steel containment is hot galvanized, which provides corrosion resistance at floor level and ensures proper interlock with the foundation." In addition, the containments are coated internally and externally with DiamondGuard, safeguarding against corrosion and electrolysis while simultaneously prohibiting hazardous shop fluids from entering the environment.

The DIAMOND LIFT also features an industry-changing mechanical locking system and is also one of the few piston-style in-ground lifts designed to allow the lift to be lowered into a mechanically locked situation without placing undesired pressures on the piston seals. The gravity engaged locking assembly is easy to service and can be accessed from floor level. The lift's innovation also extends to other key areas. For example, rather than utilizing traditional rollers, the DIAMOND LIFT's moveable lifting unit and aluminum trench covering system travel on ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene slides atop a stainless steel guide, which are maintenance free.

Industry response has been strong, as it has to another Stertil-Koni-pioneered in-ground lift – the company's U.S. patented ECOLIFT. Featuring a lifting capacity up to 90,000 lbs., it is the industry's original ultra-shallow, full-rise in-ground axle engaging lift. ECOLIFT uniquely combines high pressure, low volume hydraulics and only requires 3.5 gallons of fluid per scissor – and nothing is placed below ground. Added DellAmore, "This lift ensures sizeable cost savings on construction and installation and can be utilized in existing workshop pits and even at locations with high water tables."

To lend even greater credibility to the next generation of in-ground heavy duty lifting systems, Stertil-Koni recommends that maintenance facilities insist that their new lifts undergo rigorous, third-party testing and are certified to ANSI/ALI ALCTV current edition by ETL/Intertek. Concluded DellAmore, "This generation of vehicle lifts is setting new standards for in-ground lifting performance and durability – and helping today's service technicians stay ahead of tomorrow's challenges."

Largest Organic Farm in Alaska Hits the Auction Block

Sven Ebbesson has had a deep love for agriculture all his life. Now retired as director of the University Of Alaska Medical Department, Sven has decided to let other owners share his love of the well-

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (PRWEB) August 14, 2013

Harkening back to his childhood growing up in a Swedish farming family, Sven Ebbesson has had a deep love for agriculture all his life. Now retired as director of the University Of Alaska Medical Department, Sven has decided to let other owners share his love of the well-tilled soil.

Sven emigrated from Sweden to Winfield, Kan., when he was 15 years old. He met his wife, Barbara, a nurse, in Germany while stationed in the Army. Sven earned his doctorate in anatomy and has had a prestigious academic career in medical research. This career led his family to settle down in Alaska, where he began his own farm. Sven continued working on the farm even after his retirement from the university in 2000.

"Following the purchase of our first tract of land, Barbara and I – along with our three sons – began clearing land in order to grow potatoes," Ebbesson said. "The soil fertility in concert with the area's climate makes the land ideal for growing potatoes."

From the beginning, the Ebbessons decided the farm would be organic and have completed all of the inspections and paperwork to get the official designation. After spending many years cultivating this unique piece of land, Sven and Barbara have decided it's time to retire from the farm as well.

"There is a tremendous opportunity to expand the farming operation we started," Sven said. "We believe the new owners will be quite prosperous with what my family has built."

Dubbed 'a thousand acres of happiness' by Alaska Fairbanks News, the Ebbesson Farms consists of roughly 1,134 acres (458 ha) – 203 acres are cleared and currently used to grow organic potatoes. The cleared land is divided into 17 different fields ranging in size from 4 to 32 acres. Additionally, the property has been improved with a cabin, sauna and insulated barn.

"Not only is this land ideal for growing hay, potatoes, carrots and other vegetables, but it gives its owner access to some amazing wildlife," said Curt Marshall, auctioneer and Realtor with United Country – Theurer Auction/Realty, LLC. "This is truly a unique opportunity to own Alaskan wilderness with great hunting opportunities. Since Alaska does not place property tax on land designated "agricultural," the income potential of this property is enormous."

This auction will offer the property as five separate parcels or in any combination. The event will also feature an assortment of farming equipment including tractors, a forklift, potato planter, harvester, feeder/hopper and much more.

The live auction event will take place Tuesday, Sept. 17 at 10 a.m., and will be held at the Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge located at 4477 Pikes Landing Road in Fairbanks, Alaska. Informational sessions will be held prior to the auction on Friday, Sept. 13 from 3 to 5 p.m., and Monday, Sept. 16 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge. This locale is close to downtown and Fairbanks International Airport. For room reservations call 907-455-5094. Online bidding will also be available the day of the live event at UCTheurerAuctions.com.

The United Country – Theurer Auction/Realty, LLC, team can be contacted by phone at 800-207-6830, by email at unitedcountry(at)theurer(dot)net, or online at EbbessonFarmsAlaska.com. This auction is being conducted in conjunction with Gerrie Duffy, cooperating broker of Alaska Great Land Realty.

B&S Forklifts Celebrate Status as North-East's Biggest Caterpillar Dealer

Cleveland, UK (PRWEB) September 16, 2013

Billingham-based B&S Forklifts are celebrating being operational for more than two decades and the fact that the company has now firmly established itself as the region's largest dealer in Caterpillar trucks.

Caterpillar forklifts offer the reliability of a recognised and trusted brand name, with the versatility of a wide range of different vehicle and fuel types, allowing rental customers to specify the model that is best suited to their working environment and the project at hand.

Vehicles are available with:

    Electric, diesel or environmentally friendly LPG engines;
    Conventional, multi-reach and low-loading forks;
    Long-range reach and slimline profiles for narrow aisles.

In addition to the north-east's largest range of Caterpillar trucks, B&S Forklifts can supply rental trucks from other leading brands, including JCB, Robur, CombiLift, Hako, Flexi and Logitrans.

Together, these brands - and the many different kinds of vehicle manufactured by them - bring a compelling and unparalleled selection of machinery to B&S Forklifts' clients.

Company spokesman Steve Young said: "B&S Forklifts have been supplying the north-east with all of their lifting machinery needs since 1992, and we bring those two decades' worth of experience into our present-day operations, to make sure we continue to offer an unbeaten range of vehicles that suits all our clients' needs.

"We have worked hard to get this far, and are delighted that the effort has paid off to create the well-established brand that we are known as today. But it's not just about us, and as heavy industries continue to recover from the recession, we will work even harder to ensure the supply of the rental vehicles needed to help the economy - and our clients - to capitalise on any growth potential."

The coming few years should see substantial growth opportunities in many sectors, as the economy returns to a more positive cycle, and the correct machinery is essential to underpinning any such growth.

With such potential on the horizon, B&S Forklifts are looking ahead to the next two decades, and to sharing in the return to industrial growth the company's clients are expected to witness.

About B&S Forklifts

B&S Forklifts is a trading name of B&S Rentals and have supplied the north-east with Caterpillar trucks and other forklift machinery since February 1992.

Hartline Dacus Barger Dreyer LLP Successfully Defends Nissan Forklift Corporation in a Jury Trial Involving a Complex Dealership Agreement Dispute

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) August 17, 2013

Hartline Dacus Barger Dreyer attorneys Jeff Patterson and Adrienne Russell successfully defended Nissan Forklift Corporation, North America (NFC) in a federal jury trial in St. Louis, Mo., involving the termination of a dealership agreement.

"Unicarriers Americas is very pleased with this verdict. It shows that our company has appropriate processes in place for evaluating our dealers, and that we can terminate dealers who don't perform to our standards," says James J. Radous lll, VP of Sales and Marketing at NFC.

According to court documents, in January 2010, Lift Truck Lease & Service, Inc. d/b/a A.D. Lift Truck (ADL) entered into a Dealer Agreement with NFC, authorizing ADL to serve as a Nissan dealer in the St. Louis market. NFC manufactures the equipment and parts, but relies on a nationwide network of authorized dealers like ADL to sell, lease and service its products. The agreement had a two-year term with a renewal option.

Before the end of the two-year term, NFC delivered a notice informing ADL that it was in default due to failure to meet its market-share and parts-purchase requirements, according to court records. Pursuant to a Missouri statute, the notice explained that ADL had 60 days to cure, and that any non-renewal or termination would be ineffective if cured. Otherwise, termination would occur in 90 days. ADL responded by filing a federal lawsuit 17 days into the cure period. ADL's Complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, alleged violations of the Missouri Franchise Act, the Illinois Franchise Act and the Missouri Power Equipment Dealer Act, in addition to tortious interference with business agreements.

Judge Charles A. Shaw granted NFC's motion to dismiss ADL's claim under the Illinois Franchise Statute early in the litigation. ADL voluntarily withdrew its tortious interference claim shortly after receiving written discovery from the defense. Before trial, Judge Shaw granted NFC's Motion for Summary Judgment on ADL's claim under the Missouri Franchise Act and partial Summary Judgment on ADL's claim of unlawful termination under the Missouri Power Equipment Act. The sole issue remaining for trial was whether NFC had "good cause" to terminate, cancel, or not renew the dealer agreement.

According to the trial transcript, ADL's counsel theorized that NFC never wanted ADL to serve as the dealer in Missouri in the first place. In addition, ADL claimed that NFC used ADL's dealership as a "stop gap" until a "large, regional dealer" could take over the St. Louis market. ADL also claimed the market-penetration requirements were unreasonable given the hostility in the market, and that NFC did not treat ADL consistently with other dealers.

ADL originally sought more than $ 4 million in damages for sales department expenses, future costs, and miscellaneous costs. ADL reduced its demand to $ 2.4 million before trial.

According to court documents, Patterson and Russell argued that statutory good cause to terminate the agreement existed due to ADL's failure to comply with the essential and reasonable requirements of its agreement, which NFC did not impose differently on similar dealers, either in their terms or in the manner of their enforcement. NFS's attorneys also argued that ADL's consistent failure to meet NFC's requirements for reasonable market penetration based on NFC's experience in comparable market areas provided good cause to terminate the agreement. In response to ADL's "stop gap" theme, Patterson and Russell presented witnesses who described their efforts to help ADL improve performance, the reasonableness of the requirements and the consistency of enforcement.

The turning point in the case occurred when Patterson showed that ADL used an unsupported methodology to calculate its damages. He argued that lost profits would have been the proper measure of ADL's alleged damages, but ADL presented no evidence of lost profits and suffered no harm because it returned to serving as an authorized dealer for TCM, the manufacturer it represented before its tenure as a Nissan dealer.

According to court documents, NFC presented testimony from several of its officers, directors and managers, as well as two experts: Larry Daniels on liability issues, and Rodney Sowards on damages.

James J. Radous lll of NFC credits the joint efforts of HDBD attorneys and company staff, "We appreciate the hard work and talent of our trial team, as well as the Unicarriers representatives who worked so hard to win this case."

After five and a half hours of deliberation, the jury returned a unanimous defense verdict, awarding Plaintiff no damages.

"This was a challenging but fun trial. Adrienne Russell played a significant role as Second Chair and did a great job. I appreciate Judge Shaw and his staff, as well as the dedicated jurors of St. Louis," says Jeff Patterson, Managing Partner at HDBD.
