Hubtex plans to showcase AGV

Hubtex plans to showcase AGV

Handling, Manufacturer
One of the most complex tasks in the intralogistics sector is handling long loads. That's why for manufacturers of forklift trucks and special-purpose vehicles, vehicle automation is a top priority. The handling of long, heavy and bulky loads is an area that Hubtex Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG excels in. In autumn this year, the company is for the first time planning to showcase an automated guided vehicle (AGV) tailored for handling long loads. All recently developed multidirectional sideloaders will form the basis of this vehicle. Hubtex has already planned the step-by-step automation of these sideloaders with assistance systems. The basic design of the vehicles includes cable runs, brackets and sensors with which the vehicles can be retroactively automated. An increasing num...

Hyster Europe Looks to Boost Driver Environment in Heavy Loads Market

Handling
Hyster Europe is focusing on enhancing the operator environment according to the application, including in the wood, metal, construction, ports and paper industries. “When handling expensive, awkward and heavy loads, the driver environment matters more than ever,” says Chris van de Werdt from Hyster Europe. “Every lift truck brand claims its products are ergonomic, but you have to ask, ‘under what conditions?’ Intelligent Hyster® lift truck design focuses on the driver environment in all applications, but this proves particularly important for efficiency and driver comfort in extreme and demanding operating conditions.” Wood handling Throughout the wood supply chain, lift truck drivers may have to drive in reverse due to tall loads obscuring forward visibility. These operation...

Improved Pedestrian Pallet Trucks and Stackers from Toyota

Improved Pedestrian Pallet Trucks and Stackers from Toyota

Handling, Manufacturer, New Trucks
Toyota has added features to its BT Levio & BT Staxio pedestrian W-models, which it says offer even more fit for (un)loading, stacking and horizontal transport in confined areas. The stackers can be equipped with low-noise hydraulics as option, for a lower noise level. This makes these trucks ideal for working in noise-sensitive and quiet environments such as supermarkets, shops and on-board lorries during night-time deliveries. The BT Staxio W-series is now also available with a weight indicator that displays an estimation of the load weight on the forks. This prevents the lifting of too heavy loads, as well as overloading lorries, elevators and loading docks. The BT Staxio SWE080L-140L stackers with initial lift can transport two pallet loads at the same time (one on the su...

Combilift Multidirectional Working Well in the Snow

Combilift Multidirectional Working Well in the Snow

Handling
It may have been an exceptionally hot summer in 2018, but some parts of the UK had heavy snow as late as March, so being prepared for whatever the weather throws at us is vital to keep materials on the move. In Scandinavia this is even more of an issue, particularly for Combilift customer Pretre, one of Norway’s leading manufacturers of roof elements, trusses and pre-cut timber. Snow is present at the company headquarters in Stryn and its other sites in Lillehammer, Trondheim and Kristiansand for over six months of the year, which makes for challenging operating conditions for handling equipment. Pretre recently acquired its twelfth Combilift multidirectional forklift in as many years, as the trucks’ ability to work reliably in this environment ensures the streamlined handling and stora...

Handling, UK Today
Dudley’s Aluminium has improved materials handling at its Cardiff manufacturing facility and storage unit with the delivery of a second Combilift multidirectional forklift. Recent growth necessitated a rethink of handling and storage procedures for incoming raw materials and finished products as assistant production manager Geraint Bowden explains: “We realised we needed to streamline this aspect of our business, and together with advice from Combilift and racking supplier Wickens, we designed a new storage facility based around the capabilities of a Combilift fitted with guide rollers for guided aisle operation.” Stillages of incoming extrusions from suppliers such as Kawneer had previously been stacked on top of each other, making retrieval of any specific stillage a time-consuming...
