Recognised for its comprehensive range of well fitting, stylish and practical workwear, Danish manufacturer ENGEL build further on their reputation in the UK with the introduction of their new ‘X-Treme’ 4 - Way Stretch’ work trousers.

Designed to allow as much flexibility as possible whilst kneeling or bending, the slim-fit trousers feature a 4-way stretch ‘breathable’, cooling fabric which quickly absorbs and dries light perspiration.

The knee-pad pockets are reinforced with hard wearing Kevlar Teramid and have two options for pad height adjustment; in addition to the many useful pockets for keeping essential tools and accessories immediately to hand, some of which have either Velcro or zip closures, optional hanging tool pockets can be attached to the waist; the trousers also have extra deep hems so that lengths can be increased if required.

Made from 73% nylon, 17% cotton and 10% elastine, the ‘Engel X-Treme 4-Way Stretch’ work trousers are available in a variety of colour combinations and in all popular sizes.

The Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon is a vibrant hub detailing the stories of the people and landscapes of North Devon. The brick building dates back to 1872, and was bought in 1887 by William Rock to house the North Devon Athenaeum, before the District Council purchased the property in 1988 and it became the Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon.

P latform lift enables access for museum extension

Bristol based architects, Ferguson Mann, were designing a two storey extension to the museum and needed a cost effective public access solution to enable visitors to see the upper floor exhibits and meeting rooms. After researching the market, the client was impressed by the Optimum 100 platform lift from Ability Lifts. The unit offered an extra wide platform of 1220mm, with an impressive lifting capacity of 500kg whilst offering a low power consumption and competitive running costs. After being shown an installed unit, the architects agreed, and an Optimum 100 was specified for the job. Devon Contractors of Exeter secured the main contract for the works, and placed the order. Ability Lifts worked with the architects and the main contractor to establish the final finishes and ensure that the builders work for the lift was carried out smoothly and on plan. The lift was specified with colour contrasting glazed doors and automatic openers, whilst a grey coin pattern flooring gives a durable finish on the platform. The unit was manufactured in a larger-than-standard width to give a footprint of 1350mm x 1560mm and an internal platform of 1220mm x 1480mm. The unit comes with a warranty of 12 months parts and labour, 5 years on motor and gearbox and 10 years on drive chains, to give trouble-free ownership for many years to come. Please contact the Ability Lifts team on 0845 006 8803 or email sales@abilitylifts. co.uk for further information on the Optimum 100 and the other products in the Optimum range of lifts.
