Material Handling & Storage Systems

Wildeck Inc. has announced a new family of structural steel end-of-aisle rack protectors to guard against fork truck impact at rack aisle corners in busy storage facilities, warehouses and distribution centers.

Dorner's flexible-chain conveyor platform, SmartFlex, is now available in an 85 mm width standard option. With this addition, SmartFlex Conveyors are now available in 4 standard widths: 65 mm (2.6"), 85 mm (3.3"), 105 mm (4.1") and 150 mm (5.9").

Kardex Remstar says it is meeting the manufacturing industry's need for leaner processes and more flexible production with the new LR 35 storage and retrieval solution for small and medium-sized warehouses. Applying this new LR 35 Vertical Buffer Module solution to manufacturers with a wide range of products, can guarantee the just-in-time supply of fully picked assembly kits to keep the assembly process flowing.

Material handling equipment and safety products manufacturer Wildeck Inc. has introduced a new product category for vertical material lifts. The new "RML" product category is a major advancement over a traditional "VRC" (vertical reciprocating conveyor) because it allows authorized personnel to safely travel with their material between levels.

Verti-Lift introduces a heavy-duty transfer cart quickly and ergonomically moves pallets and other heavy components (up to 4,000-lb. capacity) within production environments. This custom-designed solution includes a gravity roller conveyor, a pallet retaining bar to secure the load during transport, and a manual foot-actuated "locking/docking arm" for convenient hands-free operation.

The new Kardex Remstar LR 35 is designed for fast retrieval making it the perfect fit for spare part and MRO inventory handling, which can be expensive. According to the Pareto principle, 80 percent of a company's revenue is generated with just 20 percent of its inventory.

Cortec has made it easy for industries to create their own custom-sized recyclable bags and envelopes with EcoShield heat-sealable paper. Whether a company needs to manufacture its own standard or custom bag for a specific product, or whether extra wide paper is needed to make paper bags, sleeves, or envelopes on demand, EcoShield heat-sealable paper is ready to use.

Kardex Remstar is launching an entirely new product class of storage systems into the market. The intralogistics supplier is adding the Vertical Buffer Module product family to its portfolio, starting with the Kardex Remstar LR 35 storage and retrieval unit. The new design is capable of fast delivery when picking small parts.

Dorner says the new 3200 series conveyor with Intralox Activated Roller Belt (ARB) technology is perfect for moving boxes and packages in merging, diverting and aligning applications. ARB Technology uses low and high friction angled rollers within the belt to help smoothly guide and align items of all sizes.

Siemens introduces a second addition to its popular Sinamics DCP product family of scalable (4X), bidirectional DC-DC drives. The DCP 120kW facilitates the integration of larger energy storage systems such as batteries and supercapacitors into multi-generator applications for a variety of industrial, smart grid and e-mobile uses, including photovoltaics, fuel cells, wind power and high dynamic uses such as peak shaving.

Master Magnetics' family of neodymium lifting magnets is flexing their muscle with the addition of a new, stronger capacity model. The newest addition has a lifting rating of 4,400 lbs. on flat material.

Verti-Lift presents Zero Pan Tilters that can be loaded or unloaded at ground level, thus eliminating the need for a forklift, while improving ergonomics and eliminating bending and lifting and the inherent injuries associated with them. They are ideal for areas with no forklift access, tight areas where forklifts are impractical, and for companies which have adopted forklift-free safe work areas.
