NEW RETROFIT PIVOT AND SUSPENSION FOR FORKLIFTS
Thursday, 23 October 2003
The Huddle Group has developed the "U-Turn" pivot system, which fits between any seat and the deck of a forklift to provide a 15 degree rotation while driving backwards. This minimises twisting but keeps feet on the pedals and knees inside the cage and away from controls. The optional "REBOUND" suspension system has been clinically proven to attenuate harmful low frequency vibrations.
Both of these products, are included in Huddle's affordable T-700 Transport seat, which also includes other ergonomic features.
For more information, phone +1 260 470 9838, email rovitt@huddlegroup.com or visit www.huddlegroup.com.

SAFETY: A NUMBERS GAME
Thursday, 16 October 2003
There are numbers in safety. The number of times you've dropped a fork on your big toe. The number of times you've thrown out your back moving your forks on the lift truck carriage to fit different pallets. The number of dollars in doctor bills and workman's comp claims.
There's an easier way: a Fork Positioner. Cascade Fork Positioners allow you to position the forks from the driver's seat, dramatically increasing productivity while reducing pallet and product damage. Go to our ROI calculator at www.cascorp.com/products/forkpositioners to see how you'll have a return on your investment in less than a year. Or just call us on 1800 CASCADE (227 223) within Australia or +61-7-3373-7300.
Let a Cascade fork positioner do the work for you.

FORKLIFT SAFETY MADE EASIER WITH SATTACH
Thursday, 04 September 2003
Visibility has always been a problem in high lift warehouses or when manoeuvring bulky loads. A camera is one solution, but transmitting to the cab monitor is difficult. Tele-camera signals are weak and easily distorted, and normal cable fails under strain from pulleys.
Sattach has just released a reel designed in Europe by Demac specifically for this purpose, featuring:
~ silver rings in brushes for better transmission
~ electrical conductor shielding
~ hydraulic tubing for physical toughness
FOR MORE INFORMATION: Phone +61-8-8268-4111, email tony.ford@sattach.com.au or see www.sattach.com.au.
