Linde Material Handling has
introduced a hand pallet truck with a
brake. The Pro Brake model is
capable of lifting loads up to 2,500kg,
providing a safer, more productive
alternative in manual handling. The
effort involved in moving Pro Brake
from stationary is said to be one
sixth of that compared to a similar
machine without a brake.
At the start of 2012 Toyota Material
Handling launched a dedicated
safety campaign called ‘Taking Care
with Toyota’ to support companies to
reduce injury and accidents in the
workplace. Toyota has now
announced that the campaign will
continue in 2013. The objective has
been expanded to provide additional
support to companies relating not
only to workplace safety, but also
providing advice on best practice and
driving down costs in materials
handling.
Castell has redesigned Salvo
Chock, its interlocking wheel
chock, to improve its technical
specifications and operational
performance. The restraint for rigid
vehicles is designed to satisfy the
demanding conditions of the
loading yard. The result is said to be
a chock that is lighter, stronger,
significantly easier to use and faster
to manoeuvre.
Every day in thousands
of industrial
environments,
pedestrians and forklifts
move through the same
buildings. When their
paths cross, the result
can be damaging – not
only to the equipment
and facility – but to
people.
