Forklift rental reduces emissions

Forklift rental reduces emissions

Industry, Trending
A new report shows that by sharing equipment, the rental industry contributes to avoiding carbon emissions. The report, commissioned by the European Rental Association (ERA), found that efficient use lowers the total carbon footprint of equipment and that the rental business model stimulates efficient use. Depending on specific user practice, ERA estimates that this can lead to significant reductions in the range of 30%, and sometimes over 50%. "Ten pieces of equipment, from several manufacturers, were selected to be analysed for the research to represent a wide variety of popular equipment categories, including earthmoving, materials handling, access, power and tool," according to the association. The research has resulted in the creation of a carbon calculator based on in...

Kalmar champions the move to electric forklifts

Kalmar champions the move to electric forklifts

Featured, General, Trending
Kalmar, a provider of automated and electrified solutions, has published a new feature which highlights the potential of electric forklifts as a “viable alternative” to diesel vehicles. While electric forklifts have existed for several years, the advent of new lithium batteries and even more powerful forklift machines has started to provoke a shift in sectors like the port and terminal industry. According to David Malmström, Business Development Manager at Kalmar Forklift Trucks, “major companies in big industries, such as the automotive industry, are driving the development in part because of environmental policies”, while “smaller companies are also switching to electric trucks”.

Access, Featured, Trending
John L Grove founded JLG half a century ago, thereby pioneering the access industry with the world’s first boom lift, commonly referred to as JLG 1. On 9 January 1969, Grove rallied a small group of people around one big idea – to create a safer way to work at height. Five decades later, Grove’s passion for safety and his pioneering spirit has resulted in the company being the biggest access equipment manufacturer in the world, with 6,000 employees. “Fifty years is a remarkable milestone for both JLG and the access industry,” said Frank Nerenhausen, JLG president. “Our founder not only started a company, but an entire industry.

JCB Teletruk Joins the Fire Service

JCB Teletruk Joins the Fire Service

Manufacturer, Trending
Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service has added a JCB Teletruk to its range of front-line firefighting and emergency rescue equipment. The Teletruk is deployed at waste and rural fires where it is used to move bailed and bulky items to support improved firefighting tactics, reduce the risk of fire spread, improve firefighter and public safety and limit the potential for environmental impact during the firefighting process. It will also be utilized at fire scenes during the clean-up and ‘dampening down’ phase of an operation, where there is a need to disturb smouldering debris to allow fire crews to direct water at deep seated fires to ensure that a blaze is fully extinguished in the fastest possible time. The Teletruk is transported to the scene of an emergency using a transport m...

A giant pumpkin had to be forklifted into Somerset as it squashed all the competition in the Wookey Hole giant pumpkin challenge. The truck was required for the competition organisers to deliver the enormous entry to the scales, where it weighed in at almost a tonne. At 927.5kg, the fruit was the clear winner. Security guards flanked the prize pumpkin as it was lifted onto the scales to protect the valuable seeds. Over 50 people entered the competition, which came as a huge surprise to organisers due to the poor growing conditions this summer. Daniel Medley, Director at Wookey Hole Caves, said: "The number of entries was incredible considering the long summer drought. "Pumpkins demand large quantities of water and we know some of our local contestants were using cider and...
