U.S. Equipment Rental Revenue Projected to Exceed $51 billion in 2018
T
he equipment rental industry in the United States is expected to generate $35.8 billion in revenue and outpace gross domestic product (GDP) by more than four times in 2014, according to the American Rental Association’s (ARA) latest forecast from the ARA Rental Market Monitor™. Economic data and analysis for ARA Rental Market Monitor are compiled by IHS Inc., (NYSE: IHS), the leading global source of critical information and insight. In the U.S., total equipment rental revenue is forecast to grow 7.6 percent in 2014 to reach $35.8 billion, 10.5 percent in 2015 to reach $39.6 billion and another 10.2 percent in 2016 to reach $43.6 billion, surpassing the previous industry record of $36.9 billion in 2007. The growth rate is expected to be 8.9 percent in 2017 and 7.7 percent in 2018, with total rental revenue of $51.2 billion. “The U.S. economy slowed more than expected in the first half of the year, but
equipment rental demand has remained strong and rental growth will still handily outperform the overall economy. Looking forward, commercial construction and housing starts will contribute to growth in the construction and industrial and general tool segments,” says Scott Hazelton, managing director with IHS Global Insight. Over the next two years, the construction and industrial segment and the general tool segment will experience double-digit growth in U.S. rental revenue. In 2015, construction and industrial rental revenue is projected to increase 10.7 percent and general tool 11.7 percent and again in 2016 with increases of 10.4 percent and 11.6 percent respectively. The party and event segment is expected to continue it same steady growth, with revenue increasing 4.2 percent in the U.S. in 2014 to reach $2.6 billion. The forecast for Canada calls for 5.2 percent growth in 2014 to $4.9 billion,
with growth of 6.0 percent in 2015, 6.6 percent in 2016, 3.5 percent in 2017 and 3.6 percent in 2018 to total $5.9 billion at the end of the latest forecast. It is also expected that rental companies in the U.S. will continue to invest more than 30 percent of its revenue in new equipment over the next five years. Total investment, according to the ARA Rental Market Monitor, is projected to reach $12.1 billion in 2014 and grow to $16.1 billion by 2018.
The American Rental Association, Moline, Ill., is an international trade association for owners of equipment rental businesses and the manufacturers and suppliers of construction/industrial, general tool and party/event rental equipment. ARA members, which include nearly 9,000 rental businesses and nearly 1,000 manufacturers and suppliers, are located in every U.S. state, every Canadian province and more than 30 countries worldwide.

A birthday tribute to Gary Selman After 45+ years in the wholesale forklift business, many readers may recognize the name Gary Selman. As his son, I hope your memories are fond ones. When he started in this crazy wholesale business, it was much smaller than it is today. He was then the World’s Smallest Wholesaler. He still is today, and still successfully providing for our family. On September 10th, he will celebrate his 74th year on this earth. I wish my DAD, my first mentor in this industry, a very happy birthday. I remember the first time my dad came to me with an old call list of clients he’d lost touch with. I was frightened to call them, not knowing a thing about a forklift, a sales process, or really how to speak to anyone in business. I was 17. Fast forward 20 years later and I’ve been able to build my success in this industry with everything he taught me. From making phone calls (even the ones I didn’t want to make,) to the specs of forklifts (even those that are way older than me,) to the joy of “making the deal,” I learned everything from my dad. It’s rare we get an opportunity to look back on our foundations for a career, but every time I wake up in the forklift business, it’s all because of him. Throughout the years, it’s treated me very well, and for that, I thank him. I thank him as a son, and as a student. It’s a great joy to do business with my dad! Some fathers & sons have sports, fishing, or other bonding experiences … but my dad & I share war stories, deals, specs, etc. And I wouldn’t change it for anything. Love you Dad, Your son, Baron.
And how can I not do an advertisement for my own father in a wholesale magazine??? Gary & Baron
Genesis Lift – Gary Selman – 201-519-3552. Call him; he always has some great wholesale forklifts available. Don’t forget, he buys them too!

Industry News
Reduce Lift Truck Damage to Pallet Rack and Plant Pre-engineered industrial guard railing systems can increase safety and decrease costs Like busy freeways, plants and warehouses have had to squeeze more traffic into less space as the cost of real estate has risen over the years. With more product and equipment packed tighter, operating with more just-in-time logistics, the risk of lift truck impact is greater than ever today. That puts your people, production, and assets at risk. OSHA estimates that 68,400 accidents occur annually involving powered industrial trucks. About 95,000 workers suffer some kind of injuries in these accidents, resulting in lost production, facility damage, and workers compensation claims. “As plant managers try to bring as much rack and material into the warehouse as possible, lift trucks run tighter in the aisles, making impact more likely,” says John Ellis, a regional sales manager at Steel King Industries, a Stevens Point, Wis.-based manufacturer of pallet rack and warehouse safety products. “Even the best of plant operations can expect some fork truck impact, so it is important to minimize any damage and
production downtime with the proper safety equipment – like a football player wearing a helmet and pads,” adds Ellis. Pallet Rack Protection Most of the damage in warehouse pallet rack occurs at the row end, where lift truck operators have to turn into the aisles, according to Ellis. If they miscalculate going around the corner, they will swing into end row pallet rack. Rack damage is also common along an upright’s first 6” to 12” of column from the floor due to lift truck impact, particularly at tunnels, drive thrus and intersections, where maneuvering is tight. Additional damage can occur when lift truck operators push pallets, empty or with product, against end row uprights, which can bend their diagonal or horizontal bracing. “To prevent pallet rack damage from lift trucks at end rows and intersections, one of the cost effective methods is to install low-profile, high-strength, safety steel angle such as Steel King Guard Dawg as protection along high-traffic routes,” says Ellis. To be most effective in these areas, he suggests the safety steel angle should protect 3” or 4”-wide upright columns, and offer right, left, or double-ended guards so it works with virtually all end row racks.
(Figure 1) Guard rail configuration. Since the rail will take the brunt of any lift truck impacts, you should compare the rail height, depth, and gauge or wall thickness.
Such pallet rack protection can be particularly important in freezer applications where space is very restricted, the floor can be slippery, and reaction times slowed by the cold. Whole Plant Protection For more universal, plant and warehouse protection from lift truck damage, more comprehensive pre-engineered industrial guard railing systems can offer more complete safety.
(Figure 2) Post Configurations. Pre-engineered, pre-fabricated guard railing systems are safer than in-house made options since they are specifically designed for lift truck impact. They are also modular, expandable, and relocatable, and individual parts can be replaced if damaged.
While some maintenance staff make and install their own inhouse fabricated guard railing, this diverts them from their production and maintenance responsibilities. It also requires them to design the guard railing, purchase materials for it, fabricate it, drill it, paint it, and install it, when they are not experienced in engineering the railing for maximum safety.
A safer, more efficient answer in recent years has been pre-engineered, prefabricated industrial guard railing systems like Steel King Steel Guard®, which can protect a whole range of plant and warehouse applications. These applications can range from worker, production, inventory, and loading areas to walkways, aisles, mezzanines, and in-plant offices. “Pre-engineered industrial guard railing systems can serve as a visual and physical barrier between staging and work areas, including machinery such as conveyors, computer consoles, electrical panels, HVAC equipment, and freezercooler controls,” says Ellis. Standard construction of the preengineered railing systems consists of corrugated steel rails that bolt to square tubular columns. The columns are prewelded to heavy steel base plates, which are anchored to the concrete floor. Anchor bolts, steel post caps and rail hardware are usually included in the package. The rails and posts are usually painted a bright safety color for easy visibility. Commercially available guard railing systems have a few advantages over inhouse fabrications. First, they cost less due to mass component production, and have lower labor costs as well. Second, these systems are easy to install. No core drilling, cutting, welding or painting is required. Installation can be handled by in-house personnel or distributors of the product. Third, the pre-engineered, pre-fabricated guard railing systems are safer than inhouse made since they are specifically designed for lift truck impact. They are also modular, expandable, and relocatable, and individual parts can be replaced if damaged. Nearly any rail length is available, which reduces installation time, and common lengths are stocked for quick order shipment. Guard Railing System Specification When talking about guard railing, you need to understand some terminology. Basic components include guard rails and posts. Figure 1 shows the two standard railing heights: single high (18") and double high (42"). Two basic posts are shown in Figure 2. Center posts are used in most cases, for in-line or end posts. Where you need to make a 90-degree turn, corner posts are required.
“Most manufacturers treat rail ‘lengths’ not as the length of the rail itself, but as the center-to-center distance from column to column,” explains Ellis. “Actual rail lengths are 4” to 5” less than the stated length, depending on the post size.” You can measure the areas you want to protect, or contact a distributor of guard railing to do it for you. Once you have decided on either a single or double high system, you can easily create a bill of material to compare various systems. Two easy comparisons are price and value. It is easy to compare prices and component weights when analyzing a few proposals, but you should go one step farther. “Since the rail will take the brunt of any lift truck impacts, you should compare the rail height, depth, and gauge or wall thickness,” says Ellis. “How many ribs or corrugations does the rail have? Is the rail edge “closed,” or is it “open”? Open edges usually require you to install a protective plastic stripping to cover the sharp edges of the steel.” “The connection between the rail and the post is also important,” adds Ellis. “How many bolts are used for this connection? What grade or strength of hardware is supplied? Are connector holes or vertical slots provided? Slots allow you to adjust the posts on uneven floors.” Other considerations include post size and gauge, base plate size and gauge, anchor size and quality, and type of finish. These considerations will also contribute to the structural strength, appearance and maintenance of the railing system. “What you are trying to achieve is a balance between heavy construction, purchase price, value, and ease of installation,” concludes Ellis.

Compression Test – This test measures the dynamic pumping pressure of the cylinder when the crankshaft is rotated. This test should be performed when the engine is warm – not cold and not hot. Dry Test – Install the compression gauge into the spark plug hole and crank engine over 5-10 revolutions. For consistency, crank the engine over the same number of revolutions for each cylinder. If one cylinder has a lower reading this indicates the problematic cylinder. The dry test should yield readings within 10% of manufacturer’s specifications. If no compression information is available, use 100 psi as a reference test pressure. However, it does not indicate whether the cylinder or piston rings are the cause. The wet compression test is effective at determining the source of the problem. Wet Test – With the spark plug removed, squirt about one teaspoon of 30-weight motor oil into the spark plug hole. Take a compression reading and observe the difference between the wet and dry tests.

• Readings from the wet test should not increase by more than 10 percent, cylinder to cylinder. • If the compression increases with the wet test, the results identify the problem as the piston rings and/or cylinder walls. The theory behind this test is that the oil is providing a wet seal for the rings. If they are not sealing on their own they will when the oil creates a seal and an increase in compression will be observed. • If the compression stays the same, the results point to the valve train. The theory is that when the rings are sealing, the oil will have no effect on compression and therefore the valves are most likely the cause of the problem.
Leak Down Test – This test pinpoints specific leakage. This test uses a set of pressure gauges with a regulating device and can quantify the percentage of leakage. This is a static test that takes more time to perform compared to a regular compression test. The ignition system should be disabled and/or grounded to prevent shock or fire.
The engine must be at top dead center where both intake and exhaust valves are closed (compression stroke). Before pressurizing the cylinder, be sure that you can prevent the piston from moving in the cylinder (engine from turning over). Pressurize the cylinder through the spark plug hole at around 100-115psi. You will be able to measure the percentage of pressure leakage.
• Leak from crankcase indicates the piston rings are not sealing or a burnt piston. • Leak from the air intake indicates a bent or burnt intake valve. • Exhaust leaks from the exhaust manifold or muffler indicates a bent or burnt exhaust valve. • Leak from the radiator indicates a leaking gasket or cracked cylinder head or block. • If air is leaking from the companion cylinder it indicates a blown head gasket.
Properly functioning cylinders show a cylinder to cylinder leakage of less than 8%. A greater drop should prompt you to investigate further. Each test provides different diagnosis information and takes a different amount of time to perform. By using either method of diagnosis you will be able to provide your customers with accurate information and continue to provide the highest level of quality service available. Information in this article has been provided from various engine rebuilding handbooks. Always use caution when performing these tests. All Industrial Engine Service does not assume responsibility for any consequences that arise out of its application.

Forklift Carbon Monoxide By: Forklift Safety Training Services, Inc.
C
arbon monoxide produced from propane (L.P) powered forklifts in warehouse applications is one of the most common industrial hazards. Poisoning from this odorless, colorless and tasteless gas can result in serious neurological symptoms or persistent headaches, dizziness and nausea, while severe poisoning can result in brain or heart damage or even death. During cold winter months, carbon monoxide becomes more apparent with warehouses being sealed off from the cold, creating inadequate ventilation. The occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) standard for exposure to carbon monoxide prohibits worker’s exposure to more that 35 parts of the gas per million parts of air (ppm), averaged over an 8 hours workday. there is also a ceiling limit of 200 ppm (as measured over a 15 minute period). Non-compliance with this OSHA standard, CFR 1910.1000, can result in an initial maximum fine of up to $7,000 and continued non-compliance or violations can impose the 10 fold penalty or fine of $70,000. Low cost air quality monitoring and testing with confidential reports logged over an 8 hour workday is important for record keeping should carbon monoxide in your warehouse become a health or liability issue. Quarterly testing is recom-
mended due to seasonal temperatures, forklift usage and mechanical conditions such as tune-ups, worn out engines and leaking exhaust systems, all of which can be factors related to the incomplete burning of propane fuel which contains carbon, therefore elevating carbon monoxide levels. If unacceptable carbon monoxide levels are detected, there are several inexpensive alternatives or options available. Installing a catalytic converter on a propane powered forklift can drastically reduce carbon monoxide emissions. A carbon monoxide detector with automatic sensors incorporated with ventilating fans or to automatically open and close a dock door can often prove effective. In some instances a simple tune-up is all that is required to meet the safety requirements and to reduce carbon monoxide to the required exposure limits.

Massive Airbag Recall Exposes Need for Hazmat Training
I
n response to an ongoing recall by the world’s second largest airbag manufacturer, auto parts dealers and automotive service operations are shipping defective airbags in record numbers. More than ten million airbags have now been recalled due to faulty inflators that can rupture and spray metal shrapnel inside the vehicle. The manufacturer’s recall has so far affected car models from Honda, BWM, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan, Fiat, Chrysler, Ford, and Subaru. Airbag modules, or inflators, are equipped with an explosive propellant which deploys the airbag upon impact. Because of this explosive quality, the US Department of Transportation regulates the transport of airbags under its Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR). Among the US DOT requirements is a mandate that every employee involved in the hazmat shipping process receives adequate training. Parts dealers, service operations, and dealerships affected by the airbag recall must train employees on the rules for classifying, packaging, marking, labeling, and documenting the defective products
products like batteries, engines, paints, seatbelt pretensioners, and more. The cost for the online course is $179 per student. Parts managers can enroll their employees at Lion.com, or call Lion Technology at 888-546-6511 to register.
for transport. Overlooking the US DOT requirements for hazmat shipping can result not only in costly civil penalties (as high as $75,000 per violation), but incidents in transit and injury to workers –especially given the defective nature of the recalled airbags. The Shipping Hazmat for Auto Parts and Service Operations online course is designed specifically for employees involved in shipping hazardous auto industry articles like airbags. Designed to satisfy the US DOT’s training requirement for hazmat employees at 49 CFR 172.704(c), the course also covers the latest rules for shipping common automotive hazmat
The US DOT requires training for all hazmat employees once every three years. Employees must be trained within 90 days of starting work and cannot work unsupervised until trained. It is critical that auto parts shippers know the latest regulations. Recently, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration adopted new provisions for shipping explosive hazmat, including airbags.
Roger Marks is a content writer with Lion Technology Inc. Lion provides hazmat shipping and hazardous waste compliance training through nationwide public workshops, 24/7 online courses, and live webinars. Roger’s work has appeared in Industrial Safety & Hygiene News, ChemInsider, Facility Safety Management, Material Handling and Logistics, and on Lion’s compliance blog (blog.Lion.com).

Since then, NEIT has achieved numerous accolades from UniCarriers Americas that include gold level Service Excellence Program awards for 20 consecutive years, and honors as a distinguished Nissan Forklift Nine winner 21 times. NEIT has also been a frequent member of the OEM’s dealer advisory group. UniCarriers Americas Corporation was formed in 2013, when Nissan Forklift Corporation, North America joined forces with TCM America. UniCarriers Americas Corporation is a division of UniCarriers Corporation headquartered in Tokyo. The merger positioned UniCarriers Americas as the fifth largest material handling equipment manufacturer in the Americas market. “We are thrilled to have a dealership whose reputation in their local market is as strong as NEIT,” said Radous III.
“By leveraging UniCarriers Americas’ superior products with NEIT’s sales experience, passion and knowledge of our industry, along with its dedication to customer service, there is no limit to the growth potential for our business in the New England region.” During the past year, UniCarriers Americas has made several additional investments to provide the groundwork for its growth goals. It expanded its Marengo headquarters campus with a 120,000-square-foot manufacturing annex for additional manufacturing capacity, and has grown its product development department by 46 percent in the past year. UniCarriers Americas Corporation’s parent company, UniCarriers Corporation, is investing $80 million in a global research and development facility to be completed next year, which will shorten product development cycles and increase product technology capabilities.

Filtering Through All The Questions
S
ome of the questions I receive have been “yes or no” answers. Then there are the “situation” answers or “what if” answers that is not so easily cut and dry. Many of these involve filters or filtration systems.
Here are the filters of each and how they relate to each machine. The walk-behind sweeper will usually have the following filters: • Gasoline Engine Air Filter, Oil Filter & Fuel Filter • The Dust Hopper Filte
So let us delve into the filtration systems. Why are they so important? Where are they used?
On this equipment the question is about the hopper filter (usually after it has stopped picking up debris). My answer is always to empty the hopper and replace the hopper filter. This filter should be cleaned or replaced every 50 hours. I say this because the hopper filter can be cleaned with an air hose 4 to 5 times every 50 hours then replaced.
I am going to cover three basis floor cleaning machines: #1 Sweepers #2 Scrubbers #3 Sweeper/Scrubber Combination May I also add that it does not matter who the manufacturer. Be it Tennant, Power Boss, ClarkAmerican, Factory Cat or others, the filtration systems are very similar in design to accomplish the same end. And that is to ensure the healthiness of whatever system is in each unit. Okay, let’s look at each system. #1 Sweepers: There are two styles of sweepers on the market todaythat can be purchased. They are a rider sweeper or a walk-behind sweeper.m Of course, the rider sweeper will clean more floor surface than a walkbehind machine, however, there will be more expense when purchasing a rider sweeper and, of course, more maintenance.
The rider sweeper has more complicated systems to deal with. They are, of course: • Gas (LPG Engine), Air Filter, Oil Filter & Fuel Filter • Again, the dust hopper filter. Nothing has changed here either. • Hydraulic system you have to deal with not in a walk-behind. In this system there exist the hydraulic in-line filters, the hydraulic tank filter and the hydraulic cap breather filter. A wide variety of problems can occur as a result of neglect. If, for example, the in-line hydraulic filter were not replaced for a very long time; dirt gets into the hydraulic system that could cause all kinds of problems. This could include scratching, marring and wearing of
internal parts of the main hydraulic pump. To replace this unit can be expensive (upwards of $5,000.00) in some instances. Up to now we have discussed only sweepers. When you start talking about scrubbers and sweeper/ scrubbers there are a whole host of problems resulting from dirty filters. The sweeper/scrubber has the most maintenance of filters and are listed below: • Same as a sweeper, the engine, air, oil & fuel filter. • Hopper Filter (sometimes two filters) • Vacuum Fan Filter • Hydraulic Filters (include suction cap and in-line filters) • Detergent flow filter • Solution Tank Filter • Recovery tank filter • If you have detergent recycling, you will have a recycling filter. In closing, I cannot stress the utmost importance of checking and replacing your machine filters. This mind set will help you filter through the answers. Thank you for reading! Michael R.

ABC’s of Rebuilt Horizontal Carousels The full benefits of Horizontal Carousels MAY not be fully understood by those that typically utilize rack and fixed shelving. To better understand this EFFICIENCY TECHNOLOGY, check out the notations and contact information noted below.
What are Horizontal Carousels? Horizontal carousels are shelving rotating on a track. Carousels deliver parts to the operator instead of the picker walking to the location, and combined with software and pick-to-light, allow a single operator to pick multiple (typically between 8-16)
orders in a single picking batch. Because there are 2-4 carousels per pod, when the operator is picking an item from one carousel, the adjacent carousels automatically preposition for the next pick to eliminate waiting. Carousel technology allows a single operator to accurately complete hundreds of item transactions per hour in a fraction of the space of shelving. How many items (SKU’s) fit in a carousel? This depends on your volume per SKU. Setups range from 4,000 to 12,000 cubic feet of storage per carousel pod. Typical SKU locations range from 0.25 to 2 cubic feet per slot, and completely flexible within the system. Contact your local AS/R Dealer or AS/R directly to evaluate. What kind of picking performance can I expect? Anywhere from 200-400 transactions (lines) per hour in a “pick-&-toss” environment. Scanning, counting, bagging, or labeling at the carousel station can adjust this rate.
half_pg_ad_outlines.indd 1
How much faster are carousels than manual picking? That depends. Let’s say your manual pickers are currently doing 50 lines (transactions) per hour. 25-35 of the transactions are likely coming from faster moving SKU’s only take 15-20 minutes to pick. The other 15-25 items (slow to medium activity) are the time hogs, as pickers must walk a further distance between each pick. These slow to medium movers are usually good candidates for carousels, as the carousel eliminates walking and searching for the item. Now let’s say the same item is requested multiple times throughout the day. In manual picking, the picker must return to the same location multiple times for the same part. In a carousel batch picking environment, the item presents itself once, and allocates to each order requiring the item. To determine actual gains – figure out the time it takes to pick your slow to medium items and compare against 200-400 carousel transactions per hour. Contact your local AS/R Systems Dealer or AS/R Systems directly to help with your evaluation.
8/18/11 10:56 AM
Do Carousels save space? Yes. Because there’s no need for operator aisles, and available building height utilized - your picking areas will be consolidated. Contact your local AS/R Dealer or AS/R Systems directly to quantify exactly how much floor space will be saved. Can I scan products at the carousel? Of course. Also, since the operator is always at their own controlled workstation, there’s no need to introduce an RF scanner. Scanning can be performed with a simple, $100 keyboard wedge scanner attached to the PC via cable or wireless. What is Carousel Pick-to-Light? Pick-to-light displays guide the operator to the correct location by pointing to the desired SKU and displaying the requested item quantity. If multiple orders require the same product, the item quantity is summed & spread across the orders via pick-to-light (and mirrored on the operator PC screen). For example, if 10 orders all require 5 units of SKU “ABC”, the display will point and illuminate “50” (quantity to pick) at the location containing “ABC”. The 10 pick-to-light displays pointing to each order box will illuminate quantity “5” above the order. The operator grabs 50 units from the carousel, and places 5 units in each of the 10 orders. How do Carousels improve picking accuracy? Carousels improve accuracy by illuminating the location and quantity of the item to pick, and by double-checking the correct item selecting through scanning its barcode (it applicable). Customers may also scan the order when placing the item into the order box for a triple-check. How do I put items away into the system? Putaway is the reverse of batch-picking. The operator scans multiple items into a putaway batch, and the carousels pre-position automatically to the correct location for putaway.
How many orders can I pick in a single batch?
800.447.6901

Material Handling Network September14
As many as you’d like, and limited only by the number of orders you can physically fit into the operator station. Typical setups pick 8-16 orders per batch; however some customers pick 100’s of orders in a single batch. What if my warehouse has other picking areas? Not a problem. Operators simply partially fill orders from the carousel and pass them onto the off-carousel operator for top-up. Another scenario is to pass carousel and off-carousel items to a separate area for consolidation. I have 30’ tall ceilings in my building. Can Carousels be stacked on top of each other? Of course. Horizontal carousels can sit on top of each other to maximize available building height. A platform is introduced at the front end of the system for the operator. Lifting or conveying devices can be introduced to move product between levels. What happens if the Carousels break down? Although carousel downtime is rare, AS/R recommends following a quarterly PM schedule to discover minor issues before they become problems. If issues do arise, operators can spin the equipment via footswitch instead of by PC for a short term solution before an AS/R technician solves the problem over the phone or onsite. Keep in mind that carousels spaced accordingly can also be 100% accessed just like normal pick shelving during downtime.

Become the Exception Are You Treating Your Customers Like Dogs?
H
Let’s not quibble of a percentage point or two. The message is that travel professionals believe their retention rate is a lot higher than it is. Agents are losing customers at an alarming rate … and finding it more difficult to recapture market share. In the interest of time, I will provide my secret remedy to this unnecessary dilemma. Here goes. Get ready for a “glaring-flashof the-obvious.” Drum roll please: TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS LIKE DOGS. Pet owners know exactly what I am talking about. Those of you who have been in the company of “pet owners” know what I am talking about. The rest of you may be thinking I have gone off my rocker, and I have no plans to convert you today. As for the pet people, I need say no more.
You get the picture and are endorsing my position as I wrap up this article. As for the difference between “customers” and “clients,” a prospect becomes a customer when they buy something. Anybody can sell anything to anybody “once.” The first purchase is “nice.” The second purchase is “meaningful.” But it isn’t until the third purchase that a customer becomes a “client.” When you come upon a new prospect, think about treating them like a dog, and then, focus on ways you can develop a relationship that will result in three transactions. That’s my opinion. I’m just saying …

By Mike Marchev aving recently been introduced to a shameful statistic, I thought it timely to give you my opinion on this subject. See if you can swallow this dose of reality: When interviewed, travel agents believe they retain 78% of their paying customers. When interviewed, paying customers believe this number is closer to 35%.

Health Nudge
Health Assessments
H
aving an annual checkup is important to your overall health. We all know this, and most of us went regularly to the doctor as children. As adults we got out of this practice. It’s an easy responsibility to skip when our lives are filled with work, family and other obligations. Especially if we feel well, we see no reason to go.
However, without a clear, updated picture of your health, you cannot accurately determine your health status. You may think you know, but it’s a guess. A CEO just doesn’t guess that the company is doing well; there’s an in-depth look at its numbers to make sure it’s healthy and to keep it strong. In the same way, you need an accurate look at your numbers. This knowledge will provide you control of your health and your future. It’s also a clear way to help control healthcare-related costs. For example, it is less costly to cover medicines that control blood pressure, cholesterol, or diabetes, than it is to pay for the doctor bills and hospital costs relating to those avoidable complications. TVH recognizes the importance of an annual screenings. In partnership with their insurance carrier, TVH offers its employees a yearly screening. The Olathe and Grayslake facilities have a screening onsite while the other facilities are encouraged to see their doctor. The screenings measure BMI, blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose and other health risks such as smoking and stress.
Debby Baughman-Galewski, 8-year employee, discovered she had a serious health problem after attending the on-site health assessment. “I was attending the fair and after they took my blood pressure, red flags went up,” Debby says. “My blood pressure was so high, that I was not allowed to return to work until I had a doctor’s clearance.” She went to her doctor as directed by the Health assessment nurses and found out that her carotid artery was 90% block on the left side, the heart side, and 80% on the right. She needed surgery because her chance of a stroke was high due to the blockage. After her surgery, she adopted a healthier lifestyle which included quitting smoking immediately. Debby is thin, takes walks and by looking at her you would never know she was unhealthy. She thought the same about herself. “I’m not overweight, I’m pretty active and felt fine, so I never suspected anything. “That’s why I’m so grateful I attended the health assessment. I had no idea I was at such a high risk for a stroke and in need urgent medical attention,” she continues.
“This assessment is so important and should be done by everyone so they can attend to any issues before they become large problems. “I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to learn about your health, even if you think you’re fine,” If your employer offers such a screening, take advantage of the convenience and sign up. Even if your employer does not offer an annual checkup, you can still get one with your personal doctor at no out-of-pocket costs to you as part of the Affordable Care Act. It doesn’t take long and the information gained can literally save your life. TVH is committed to keeping employees healthy, which is why, through our Nudge initiative; we focus on health and wellness.

Dual Loading Dock Position Requires Solution for Complete Range of Truck and Trailer Sizes
A
nationally recognized company was planning a new entertainment facility in the Midwest, and after comparing product lines, contacted Pentalift’s local dealer to assist with the design of a safe and efficient loading dock. The customer’s requirements included accommodating a wide variety of trucks and trailers from courier to over-the-road models via two dock positions. In order to fulfill this request it was determined that a dock lift alongside an edge of dock leveler would satisfy all of their needs. Dock seals were also suggested for both openings; offering the customer a tighter seal between the trailer and the loading dock area. The model HED pit mounted dock lift (pictured to the right in the photo) with a 10,000lb lifting capacity and a 7’ x 8’ platform was chosen to meet the flexibility of loading and unloading the various trailer sizes at the facility. Longer than
standard bridge plates built from aluminum were custom designed for the unit, making it easier and safer for the dock attendants to operate. The dock lift was installed inside the building, just behind the foundation wall, allowing for aesthetics and energy savings; as the overhead door offers a complete seal when closed. The 20,000lb capacity Edge of Dock leveler (pictured left in the photo) was installed specifically to service conventional trailers. The PS100 Fixed Head Pad dock seals were included to close-off the space between the trailer and door openings, providing protection against energy loss while the dock positions are in use. In addition, the dock seals were chosen to help prevent rain and snow from causing unsafe working conditions and damaging product during the loading process. The dock seal projections were also customized to 27” around the Edge of Dock, and 16” around the dock lift.
The customer was so pleased with the performance of their loading dock positions that they ordered an identical set for another part of their facility.

Product Preview Dialight’s new LED targets 1,000W HID applications
J.W. Speaker’s improved models 735 XL & 832 XL
Dialight announced the launch of its high-output LED Vigilant High Bay offering the first truly, viable replacement for costly and inefficient 1,000W traditional HID high-output fixtures. Delivering 125 lumens per watt at less than half the power consumption of conventional HID products, the new Vigilant highoutput LED High Bay is a true innovation, offering approximately 60,000 lumen output from a single 480W Dialight-designed power supply, in a sleek, durable and lightweight package. The new Vigilant High Bay is now UL1598 and CSA C22.2 certified for dry location use and backed by Dialight’s exclusive 10-year full-performance warranty covering the entire fixture, drivers and power supply.
J.W. Speaker announced redesigned Models 735 XL and Model 832 XL LED worklights! The main attraction of this redesign is that both products produce nearly double the light output of the originals. Both lights are available in a flood, spot, or trapezoid beam pattern, and feature a tough polycarbonate lens and die-cast aluminum housing that is sealed to IP69K. They are built to stand up to shock and vibration, making them ideal for construction, mining, agriculture, and industrial applications.

New industrial strength lubricant offers benchmark in lubricious sprays!
Serial numbered labels extra large for easy reading
New Banner Engineering tower light available in self-contained, compact size
Andrew Barkin is a Camarillo, CA engineer and inventor who studies tribology – the science of lubrication. Several years ago he became dissatisfied with the products that were available on the market and mixed a high-quality petroleum base with a hand-selected mixture of the finest additives, including PTFE (commonly known by the trademarkedname Teflon). PTFE is one of the most lubricious materials known. The result is a new multi-purpose maintenance product called Andy’s Super Oil – a totally improved spray lubricant that outperforms the products available in the marketplace today. Andy’s Super Oil 805/484-1272 www.andyssuperoil.com

Product Preview NEW Orbis Flipak tote holds more and reduces transportation costs
UniCarriers Americas enhances Platinum II and GO4 lift truck lines
Popular vacuum lifter now lifts pails from side safely, easily
ORBIS Corporation has launched the FP403, the newest addition to the FliPak product line of plastic containers and totes. The FP403 tote offers generous internal capacity for all types of products in the apparel, home goods and general merchandise industries — while cutting unnecessary transportation costs. ORBIS attached-lid containers have transformed modern distribution systems for more than 25 years. The 28" x 20" x 15" FP403 continues that tradition of innovation with a design that works in many automation systems in today’s supply chains.
UniCarriers Americas Corporation made LED headlights standard on Nissan Forklift by UniCarriers Platinum II and GO4 series lift trucks, replacing halogen headlights on these models. LED headlights were a popular option on Platinum II and GO4 orders. LED lights are more durable, offer greater visibility, deliver a longer service life and are suited for high-vibration applications. With these new standard features, UniCarriers Americas has added a welded assist grip to the right-hand front pillar on most Platinum models.
WEPCO, Inc. announces the new SmartLifter™ for Pails automated vacuum lifter. The tool that revolutionized carton lifting is now available to grip, balance, and stack heavy pails from the side with fingertip pressure. Palletizing or de-palletizing 5-gallon pails that can weigh up to 50 lbs. has always been a back breaker. Traditional vacuum lifters that grip from the top can’t be used because of the danger of pulling the top off, causing a mess, work stoppage, and possibly a hazard or injury. WEPCO’s new SmartLifter for Pails (Patent Pending) solves this problem by safely gripping pails from the side and lifting them with the touch of a finger.

Handwheels from J.W. Winco in A4 stainless steel
New hoists suitable for heavy duty underwater operation
Fully automatic BEUMER robotpac solves complex palletizing challenges
Lifting and handling products manufactured by the J D Neuhaus company are engineered for performance, reliability and longevity when operating in extreme environments of dirt, dust, high humidity, and even potentially explosive atmospheres. Some of the toughest and more unusual conditions are currently experienced by today’s underwater aquanauts. Divers are very often working alone, in conditions of variable depth water pressures and temperatures, combined with poor visibility while also battling with ocean currents.
To be able to stack bundles such as bags, cardboard boxes, crates, canisters or trays safely and economically, BEUMER Group offers the BEUMER robotpac, a space-saving, fully automatic articulated robot. This fully automatic articulated robot is able to solve even complex palletizing and de-palletizing challenges reliably and efficiently. BEUMER has developed fully automatic gripping systems that are easily exchangeable and suitable for each item to be packed. Over the years, BEUMER has established extensive expertise in the design of grippers and control technology.
