Improved safety record
September 1st 2010 Engineering manager, at seating
leather manufacturer Andrew
Muirhead, Alec Brycelend, first
contacted Nu-Star in May 2003 with
a requirement to reduce the
manpower needed to move 2,000kg
trestles used in its tanning process.
Due to their size, weight and four
swivel castor configuration, the
trestles required up to four staff to
move about and also occasional use
of a forklift truck.
Nu-Star recommended its
PowerTug and since initial trials in
2003, Andrew Muirhead has gone on
to purchase four such units.
Alec Bryceland comments: "We
have found the PowerTugs to be
very manageable and compact with
the added value of the safety features
installed as standard. What once
required up to four people to move
about is now easily done by one
person and has saved us both time
and space in the operation and
improved our safety record." More articles from Nu-Star Material Handling Ltd: |
