The J D Neuhaus company have been designing and manufacturing handling equipment for over two and a half centuries, and pioneered the use of compressed air for powering handling equipment in the early 1950’s. The latter development ensured that their lifting and pulling equipment was suitable for use in hazardous areas and environments where there was a potential explosion risk.
Their products, which now also include optional hydraulic powered operation, are used worldwide in all major heavy industries such as mining, oil and gas, construction, shipbuilding, steelworks and even aerospace related for handling rocket parts. With a range that covers lift capacities from 250kg up to a full 100 tonnes, they now offer high performance, reliable products, 100% duty rated, that can be used wherever light, medium or heavy industries require the safe lifting, moving and precise placement of loads.
Most of the UK has so far escaped the arctic conditions that brought the country to a standstill last year, but winter is far from over and could still cause problems for businesses according to a leading supplier of fork lift trucks.
Grundfos SOLOLIFT2 lifting stations offer superior reliability, increased performance and improved serviceability. By talking to installers, Grundfos identified the problems that were experienced with the existing units on the market.
The inaugural lift for a Profi TI 100 tonne air operated hoist unit has been successfully accomplished at the St Fergus gas terminal located near Peterhead on the North East coast of Scotland.
