Cover Story Garry Bartecki
How do you measure up? “Little data” still important As you probably know I am a true believer when it comes to benchmarking numbers as often as possible during any given year. I say that because: • The benchmarking points out specific areas for review allowing for adjustments to be made before things get out of hand. • Benchmarking helps keep department managers on their toes because who wants their numbers to come in at the bottom of the list. • Benchmarking results can be shared with bankers and other partners to demonstrate how you are doing against industry standards. • Benchmarking makes you think about the numbers that go into the analytics, which helps managers envision how dollars flow both in and out. • Dealers that benchmark normally have a better handle on where they stand and what they have to do to improve their business. • And last but not least, if you do not benchmark how would you measure your performance. There is a lot to be said for benchmarking, if you do it right and with the right participants. Material Handling dealers are fortunate because they have an active association that provides benchmarking services to members. We are, of course, referring

to MHEDA which produces an annual DiSC report for both Industrial Truck dealers and Storage & Handling Engineered Systems. Participate in this service and you receive a FREE DiSC report that is customized for your business. But if you are a member and do not participate you can receive of copy of the general report for $275, which you can use to analyze your 2014 operating results. There are other ways to benchmark as well, but I doubt if they will provide what you can receive from the DiSC report. Many OEM’s will provide reports based on groups representing one brand, or you can get exposure to the entire industry via an open forum where many brands are represented. 20 Groups also frequently provide reports throughout the year that provide more timely data. To me there is no doubt that benchmarking provides valuable input to help improve operating results and shareholder value. But you would be surprised at how many times I hear “It takes too much time to fill out the survey”, or “We can’t get it completed in time to meet the deadline”, or “Our books are not set up in the same way as the survey so we don’t participate.” I kid you not. My response to those making these comments is … If you cannot complete the survey by the deadline (4 months after the year-end); it takes you more than 2 hours to fill out the survey; or you don’t have data compiled according to industry standards,

Cover Story you have problems well beyond the inability of filling out the survey that need to be addressed if you hope to remain a dealer in this industry. I have a copy of the 2015 MHEDA DiSC report in front of me and just spent maybe an hour or so reading it cover to cover. I do this every year and continuously come away with how well lift truck dealers are managed through the many economic cycles they encounter. I am especially impressed after reviewing the historical data that appears in the back of the report that covers 2007-2010 and 2014, which of course covers our last depression period (I call it a depression) in 2008 and 2009. Of the 100 dealers that annually participate in the survey the DiSC report reflects at least a break-even in 2009 with an overall recovery in 2014 to the point where profit before tax is three times what it was in 2009. More specifically, the DiSC report provides income statement data, departmental data, productivity statistics, operating expense data, sales mix, departmental gross profits, balance sheet data and financial analytics to help measure historical results and form future business plans. The reports are further broken down by sales volume and region. Of most importance is the column titled High Profit Dealer which represents the top 25% quartile of the reporting dealers. Comparing the High Profit Dealers to the others points out how small differences can add up to significant improvements in bottom line. For this report the High Profit group generated a 6% pre-tax compared to 3% for the Typical Dealers. One big issue for me is the fact that the size of both Typical and High Profit dealers are approximately the same. In the past the High Profit dealers were usually the larger dealers with the leverage ability to deliver higher contribution margins. Thus the smaller dealers were always saying they couldn’t hit the High Profit mark because they weren’t big enough to get there. But now that both the Typical and High Profit dealers are of similar size I suggest we can throw the old argument out the window. We hear a lot these days about Big Data and I believe that Big Data will provide many opportunities in your industry. But at the same time I remain fully committed to using the “Little Data” we find in our monthly financial reports, our OEM reports, our 20 Group activities and this annual DiSC report because there is plenty of money to be made by getting a better handle on the Little Data. Our industry continues to change. There will be continuing consolidation. Sophisticated uses of more data will help drive business, especially the use of telematics that will help both dealers and end users control costs and improve efficiency. Big Data will also help determine customer needs and the timing of those needs. No matter whether we want it or not, the internet-ofthings will bring change and disruption to the industry. All the more reason to get better control of our Little Data to help us manage both the Little and Big Data going forward. In conclusion I will say every dealer should benchmark as much as they can, and every dealer should participate in a 20 Group which provides a forum to discuss planning ideas for the future. I can guarantee that both endeavors, if taken seriously, will deliver better operating results and shareholder value. Garry Bartecki is a CPA MBA with GB Financial Services LLC.

Aftermarket John R. Walker
The manager manages, or does he/she? In writing this month’s article, I went back and researched articles I’ve written in the past years. The following article, written well over twenty years ago, was chosen to update and repeat almost as written. I’ve known many equipment dealers, in many industries who have read our articles and made changes to better market, manage and merchandising their product support. They have told me of their success. They have reaped benefits in both increased product support sales as well as product support profitability. So this article is not for those dealers who successfully made necessary changes years ago, but for those dealers who: hesitated, put-off, never got around to it, or never really comprehended their unknown opportunities! Aftermarket services and/or product support over the past five to ten years have become recognized as highly important profit centers for the equipment dealer. In fact, many equipment dealers would have been hard pressed to have survived the last 10 years of business without them. While there is recognition, few really recognize the magnitude of this part of their business. Caterpillar, in a recent article published that their dealers globally were leaving $18 Billion on the table. Responsibilities of service and parts managers have changed dramatically over the past 20 years. During any business day these managers will find themselves wearing many hats. They are
now responsible as: asset managers, people managers, computer managers, market managers, sales managers, merchandising managers, advertising managers and many times they also find themselves called upon to be credit managers. It should be recognized that a dealer’s parts and service departments have more personal contact with dealer’s customers than any other department within the dealership and their personal relationships and handling of your customer’s concerns are key drivers of customer satisfaction which leads to the dealer’s increased market share. We have all heard over the years that the best salesperson does not necessarily make the best sales manager. It is also true that the best counter-person does not necessarily make the best parts manager nor does the best technician make the best service manager. Too often equipment dealers (most come from sales or other related business areas) fail to recognize the profit opportunities available to them in both service and parts. Unless equipment dealers begin to perform customer/market analysis and measure the profitability of their parts and service potential opportunities, they will continue to miss their goals and opportunities. Service managers are managing a fully equipped expensive shop, numerous pieces of expensive over the road equipment, thousands of dollars in special shop tools, technicians whose

Aftermarket training cost exceed, in some cases $60,000 apiece. Financial models of equipment dealerships are predicting that in two to three years 50% of the dealership’s employees will be involved and managed by the service manager. A parts manager is managing a dealer’s inventory running from $25,000 to well over a million and is spending more of the dealership’s hard-earned cash than anyone else in the dealership, sometimes under control and sometimes not under control. Understanding the scope of these two managers’ responsibilities and duties as well as understanding the importance of these positions to the financial strength of a dealership is far more imperative today than ever before. Measuring a parts and service department continues to lag behind the measurement of the other departments within the dealership. If you don’t measure it, then you can’t manage it! Recent studies indicate that, of the four or five profit centers, a dealer principal spends the least amount of his time in the service department. Could there be any correlation between that and the fact that the service department is one department that continues to ignore their unknown opportunity? Unfortunately most parts and service managers came into their present positions through attrition and time in grade. Their skills were learned from the previous managers and through on the job training. Their experience, gained from their predecessors, all too many times was lacking in certain skill sets needed in a changing market. Too few dealers spend time instructing their managers in the fundamentals of accounting or measuring their department. Also too few dealers share departmental financial information with a
manager, making it impossible for that manager to manage his/ her department. Concern and interest in a typical equipment dealership has always centered and focused around the sale of whole goods. That can be explained, as the sales department will tell you: Without the sale of equipment there would be no aftermarket! There is a simple measurement to bring into perspective parts and service sales to show how additional profit improvement in these departments relates to the sale of complete goods. We have always referred to this measurement as the giant funnel theory. In the need to examine the makeup and nature from a profit standpoint, visualize your dealership as a giant funnel. Into the top of this funnel will be placed the gross sales receipts from all the dealership’s profit centers. The funnel represents the cost of doing business with the variable, fixed and semi-fixed expenses incurred by the different departments. From the bottom of the funnel will drip the left over or net profit. This is expressed as a percent of gross sales collectively within the dealership. The impact of all this is that for every dollar of gross sales poured into the top of the funnel, only a few cents drops through as net profit. A dealer’s basic goal would be to pour more sales into the top of the funnel, expand the opening at the bottom and, finally, allow more net profit to flow through. An interesting aspect of the funnel theory is to reverse the flow. On the negative side, assume your dealership came up short at parts inventory time in the amount of $5,000. Divide this loss by your net profit to determine how many dollars in gross sales would be necessary to make up for this particular loss. Example:

Aftermarket $5,000 divided by .04% = $125,000. If you cut a customer’s service bill by $100 divided by .04% = $2,500 in increased sales. The easiest way to realize a profit is to stop losing it! On the positive side and bringing parts and service sales into their proper perspective, consider the following examples: Assume your current parts sales are $752,482 and your gross profit on parts is 30% or $225,774. In the next year you increase your parts sales a mere 10% while maintaining the same gross profit. Your parts sales are now $827,730. Your gross profit dollars have increased to $248,319 for an improvement of $22,545. Your dealership’s net is 4%. Divide the gross profit dollar improvement of $22,545 by 4% and you arrive at $564,375. In order to make $22,545 in gross profit dollars at 4% net, the dealership would have to generate $563,626 in new equipment sales. Here is an example of how service through measurement and goal setting can improve the total profitability of a dealership. Present service sales of $847,282 at a gross profit of 58% generate gross profit dollars of $491,423. Here again the dealer through better service marketing improves his service sales by a mere 10% to $932,010. His gross profit dollars improved to $540,565 or an increase of $49,142. Divided this number by the dealer’s 4% and you can see this is equivalent to complete goods sales of $1,228,502. Measuring and in turn planning to achieve your dealership’s goals in parts and service is quite possibly the best method for dealers to accomplish the basic goals of increasing both volume and profits. It is imperative to measure both the profit center and the individual working within that profit center.
The final measurement in both parts and service is the overall goal of achieving a 100%+ Absorption Rate. Achieving this percentage requires a teamwork effort but in the long run establishes financial strength for the dealership, making it possible for a dealer to weather any business downturn and to become extremely competitive in the complete goods market. Many equipment dealerships indicate that absorption rate is the ultimate goal of everything that is done in the dealership. It is a negative thinking dealer who believes that 100%+ is unachievable. Apply the same techniques to your aftermarket that you have applied to your complete goods and you will be successful. Opportunities exist today to develop your dealership’s profitability and financial strength. Seek out and go after these opportunities!

Are you training your sales people to be sharks? It’s everyone’s favorite time of year! That’s right, Shark Week, when America celebrates pushy, aggressive salespeople who pounce on unsuspecting customers, take their money, and send them floating downriver before anyone has a chance to figure out what te heck just happened. Just kidding. Shark Week, courtesy of Discovery Channel, is a celebration of nature’s most perfect killing machine, the shark. We all have our favorite shark species, but let’s be real ...without the Great White, there’d be no such thing as Shark Week. Existing for millions of years but transformed into a pop-culture icon by Steven Spielberg’s 1975 blockbuster Jaws, the Great White shark can weigh almost 3 tons and reach 20 feet when fully grown, sports a giant maw packed with 2-inch-long serrated teeth, and can smell a single drop of blood from miles away. And still most of us would rather deal with that than an obnoxious salesperson. True story: 15 years ago, when working for a now-defunct company, I attended an in-house sales seminar during which the division manager donned a furry shark costume and ran up and down the aisles growling sales pitches (sharks = sales pirates?). I won’t even tell you how they made us stand on chairs, form fins with our hands, and dance to surf tunes blaring over the PA system, because the emotional scars I bear are still too raw. But, as
We Will Solve Your Mobility Problems
hokey as that event was, management did at least recognize that aggressive, transactional selling was not helping the organization grow over the long term. Unfortunately for them, the message, “Don’t be a shark,” was a little too simplistic and a came a little too late to save a sinking ship. Not even a bigger boat would have helped. Nowadays the talk is about talent development. Companies are looking for salespeople whose motivations suit the organization’s mission, vision and values, not people who have made a career of bouncing from one transactional sales role to another. Managers want sales reps who can work as part of a team, build relationships with customers and fit the departmental culture, but it takes time, effort and the right people to build such a sales operation. The good news is that Caliper offers a plethora of products to help you identify and develop the best available sales talent, from pre-employment assessments to onboarding services to Caliper Analytics™, and we are developing all-new, expanded and scientifically validated Job Models that separate out the personality attributes needed for success in new business acquisition vs. account development vs. technical sales, and more. As always, our expert consultants and advisors are ready to partner with our clients, identify their unique needs, and help determine the best talent-management solutions. In other words, let Discovery Channel handle all your sharkrelated needs and leave the talent development consulting in your sales organization to us. About Caliper - For nearly half a century, Caliper has been helping companies achieve peak performance by advising them on hiring the right people, managing individuals most effectively and developing productive teams. The accuracy, objectivity and depth of our consulting approach enable us to provide solutions that work for over 25,000 companies.

The Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation (the Foundation) releases the June 2015 Monthly Confidence Index for the Equipment Finance Industry(MCI-EFI). Designed to collect leadership data, the index reports a qualitative assessment of both the prevailing business conditions and expectations for the future as reported by key executives from the $903 billion equipment finance sector. Overall, confidence in the equipment finance market is 62.6, remaining essentially the same as the June index of 63.0. When asked about the outlook for the future, MCI-EFI survey respondent David T. Schaefer, CEO, Mintaka Financial, LLC, said, “New applications for leases and loans increased significantly in the latter half of the second quarter. If this trend continues we would have a record third quarter postrecession. I’m moderately optimistic as we have experienced unsustained bursts in the recent past.” www.leasefoundation.org

Sales Trends Art Sobczak
What to do when they are not the ultimate decision maker A training client emailed me with this scenario. Perhaps you’ve run into something similar. The rep, Kim, had a prospect, Karen, who agreed that her company should use the sales rep’s company for their purchases of computer media supplies. The prospect said that she personally didn’t make the final ordering decision (she was the primary user of the products), but would speak to the person who did the ordering — we’ll call him Bob the Buyer — and have Bob give the rep a call. Karen preferred that Kim not contact Bob directly at this point. A week had passed with no call, and Kim (the sales rep) didn’t want to let this one wiggle away. She wanted an opinion on the best action to take at this point. The first suggestion — which really didn’t help much on this call, but will on future ones — is to get commitment that the initial prospect will not just refer the matter to Bob the Buyer, but will strongly recommend to Bob that they buy from Kim’s company, and WHY she felt that way. And also get commitment as to the time frame. For example, “First, Karen, you’re saying that you’re personally sold on using us because of the lower total cost of ownership over time, and you’ll recommend to Bob the Buyer that you switch, is that right?” “What else can I provide you to help justify it to Bob? Do you see any potential roadblocks or objections from him? Does he normally go along with your recommendations?” “And when do you think I should expect a call?” This emphasizes the urgency of the matter. Finally, set the stage for what would happen should Bob not call by that date: “If for some reason he doesn’t call by then, it wouldn’t be a problem if I called him and introduced myself would it?” Now, for the call at hand, my suggestion was to first call the original prospect and find out if the referral suggestion had been made to Bob the Buyer. If so, then use the question previously mentioned about getting permission to call Bob. The call to Bob then would be positioned in this way: “Hi Bob, it’s Kim Seller with ______. I was speaking with Karen Michaels in your IT department, and she suggested that we should talk. She felt we could save you quite a bit of money over time on the media you’re now using, and might have passed that information on to you …” (if Bob doesn’t jump in at this point, continue) “If I reached you at a goodtime, I’d like to share with you the savings projections we did see if there are any other items on which we could help you save.”
Notice we are not starting the call out with the worthless, reactive opening, “I was wondering if you got the information that Karen Michaels had sent over to you?” That’s as bad as starting a call with “I sent you an email, didja get it?” In my example, even if Bob didn’t remember Karen’s communication, Kim can smoothly transition into this call. To summarize, when you’re being referred elsewhere, be sure, • you are not being brushed off, • that your initial contact is sold on you and will recommend you, • that you attach a time frame to the next action, and • that there is a course of follow-up action on your end to be sure there is a next step. What do you do in this situation, or what have you done? Would love to see your comments. Thanks!

Hannibal Industries breaks ground to expand facility
Raymond wins manufacturing leadership award
Hannibal Industries, Inc., manufacturer of pallet rack, announced it is breaking ground on a 42,000-square-foot addition to its Hannibal South manufacturing center on 10.5 acres in Houston’s booming industrial area. The employee-owned company headquartered in Los Angeles announced expanding its manufacturing and distribution operations to Houston earlier this year. Construction is now underway to enlarge the existing 110,000-square-foot facility at 6501 Bingle Road to house a new state-of-the-art powdercoating production line, an environmental room and additional office space. According to Steve Rogers, Hannibal’s vice president, “Hannibal Industries’ customer base in the South East has grown, and the company has been shipping more and more racking from Los Angeles to the region. The company’s management team felt it was time to expand in an effort to provide our customers with a National presence that will meet their growing needs.” The Hannibal South facility in Houston will offer their full range of racking products to serve the Eastern U.S. markets. An official grand opening of the entire facility will be held early next year following the latest construction. www.hannibalrack.com

Cimcorp announces new leadership in North America Cimcorp Group, a manufacturer and integrator of turnkey robotic gantry-based order fulfillment and tire handling solutions, announces CEO Doug Pickard’s retirement from Cimcorp Automation Ltd. after leading the company, which he co-founded as RMT Robotics Ltd., for nearly 35 years. His successor, Operations Manager Rick Trigatti, will expand his current responsibilities by stepping into the role of president of the company’s North American subsidiary. The transition was effective as of June 29. After founding the company to introduce robotics and machine vision into the automotive industry, Pickard led the development of large, high-speed gantries that allow customers to sort, store and pick a large number of SKUs at very high rates. He also introduced ADAM, a mobile robot that can navigate autonomously outside of a staged laboratory environment, into industrial environments. His accomplishments with Cimcorp in North America (and formerly RMT Robotics) have created a foundation that will propel the company to new heights in the future. www.cimcorp.com

Toyota-Lift of Minnesota breaks ground in Southern Minnesota Toyota-Lift of Minnesota began a new chapter in its history with the groundbreaking ceremony performed Monday July 26, 2015 for its new Byron building. The 13,000 square-foot building will be completed sometime in late 2015 or early 2016. The building will be a regional center for new and used equipment sales, as well equipment rentals and repairs. Equipment will include forklifts, variable reach construction forklifts, rough terrain forklifts, scissor lifts, personnel and burden carriers, towing equipment and rough terrain aerial lifts. President John Scheunemann said, “We have been exploring opportunities to invest in the area and are very happy in securing the Byron location. The location just eight miles from Rochester Minnesota is centered in a robust area of economic growth. The facility will go a long way to support our sales, service and parts staff in the area, and will give our customers a local partner for dealing with the material handling, logistic and construction needs.” The building is designed from the inside out with customer support in mind. It includes an equipment showroom, parts department, sales offices and a fully outfitted repair shop. Built on a 4.3-acre lot, there is plenty of room for expansion. www.ToyotaEquipment.com/about-us

My intent was to add allied lines, but what I saw at the Hyundai booth – the technology, the many standard features, and the great warranty – was a brand focusing on innovation in forklift design and performance, and I opted in.” According to Siano, National Lift Truck Service serves more than 15,000 customers across South Florida, which is home to several major sea ports. “Our customers are industry leaders in independent distribution,” he said.
Hyundai Forklift announced the appointment of National Lift Truck Service, Inc., headquartered in Pompano Beach, Fla., as its newest authorized dealer. National has four full-service locations in Florida: Pompano Beach, Miami, West Palm Beach and Port St. Lucie. With 40 years in business in South Florida, National is proud to add Hyundai Forklift to its material handling business line. National’s footprint expands Hyundai’s South Florida representation to cover from Miami-Dade to Indian River Counties, with potential to expand further north. “Distribution growth is the key to our ability to serve customers,” said Chuck Leone, Vice President of Hyundai Forklift. “National has the

For Presto Lifts, orange is the key color The bright shade has helped the company’s equipment stand out throughout its history - a mark, company leaders say, of the firm’s commitment to excellence in the design and manufacture of its pieces. “Any customer that is producing something, storing something, packaging, shipping; for any of those elements our lifts can be utlitized to improve safety and productivity,” said Rick DaSilva, national sales manager for Presto Lifts. The company, which this year marks its 70th anniversary in business, began operating as Presto Lifts in 1977 with the production of manually-propelled lifts and stackers. Today, Presto Lifts offers more than 500 different models of lifts, tables and tilters. Headquartered in Norton, Mass., Presto Lifts also has a facility in northeast Arkansas and a total of around 100 people affiliated with the company’s production and business efforts. Presto Lifts provides products to locations across North America, according to Steve Albert, the company’s general manager. “One of the things Presto does and does well is the stacker line. It really separates us,” he said, adding that in the late 1980s the company started to transition into lift tables. Currently, the two lines bring in about an equal amount of business, Albert said. About 10 years ago, Presto Lifts leaders put great emphasis on improving and increasing the stacker line. Several new products
were introduced, including a product that took the company to the next level. The PowerStak™ – a powered lift-powered drive stacker – has proven a tremendous part of Presto Lifts’ recent growth, company leaders said. “That product has been used by a wide range of industries,” Albert said. “It’s great for small momand-pop businesses and also large firms.” Starting with a price tag of $6,000, the lightweight power stack is useful for big production facilities and also provides an option for small companies that cannot afford a forklift. Sales have been growing steadily for the past seven years, according to Albert. “We see ourselves expanding that line,” he said, noting that the work force is aging and companies are looking for ways to for current employees to do continue doing their jobs without having to hire additional help. “A fully-powered product is being preferred by more and more customers,” Albert said. “That is a very nice fit for where we’re going.” Other key products for the business include the pallet positioner and the light duty batteryoperated lift tables. In recent years, the impact of the recession was felt most acutely in 2009, but the company has been rebounding since 2010, according to Albert.

Your Business Many businesses reduced staff during the economic downturn and are continuing to operate with smaller work forces. For Presto Lifts, that has meant an opportunity for its products to help fill in the production gaps. 2014 proved a year of record sales. Presto Lifts also has honed a competitive edge in the industry by creating a stocking program that ensures its most popular products are always in stock and can ship in one week or less. Albert said the “Always In Stock” program includes the creation of an assembly system where lifts can be produced in record time, allowing them to be customized for client needs. “It’s a real competitive advantage,” Albert said. Presto Lifts plays an active role in the industry, both in association memberships and trade show participation.

Alliance Rubber Company introduces Mover Bands
Hannibal Industries, Inc. awarded patent for tuberack
Alliance Rubber Company has added Mover Bands to its list of products. These heavy-duty rubber bands have the capacity to stretch to almost twice their resting length to accommodate objects of various sizes. They are ideal for holding and securing moving blankets on furniture and appliances. Mover Bands are designed to hold furniture, appliances and other large items securely during a move,” said Alliance Rubber Company President Bonnie Swayze. “Along with holding moving blankets in place, they’re great for keeping refrigerator doors shut and dresser drawers from opening in transit.” These moving tools are reusable and efficient, creating minimal waste. Stabilization for most loads can be achieved with just one properly sized Mover Band. Multiple Mover Bands can be used on items that require it. Bands can be purchased in four different lengths, colors and sizes.
Hannibal Industries, Inc. announced it has been awarded a U.S. Patent for TubeRack. Owned by Hannibal Industries, Inc. and TubeRack Inventor, Andrew Kirby, the new patent issued under U.S. Patent 9,066,585 reduces seismic damage to stored goods, in distribution centers and most importantly to the people working in those facilities. “My first priority as an engineer is saving peoples’ lives, and TubeRack’s dual-moment frame creates a stronger, safer and more flexible system that will save the lives of people in distribution centers during seismic activity. I am very proud of that,” said Andrew Kirby. Since its initial release in 2012, TubeRack has successfully been installed globally, endured its first-ever impact test, formed strategic partnerships to develop a new racking product and has expanded into new industries. TubeRack’s modular design is engineered to be more impact resistant, to reduce product shedding in the case of an impact or seismic event, offers better tolerances, and lowers freight costs. The system’s dual-moment frame allows flexibility both frontto-back and side-to-side giving it the ability to withstand impacts and seismic activity. www.hannibalrack.com

Raymond introduces Model 8210 Walkie Pallet Truck The Raymond Corporation has introduced the new Model 8210 walkie pallet truck featuring AC technology, which offers superior maneuverability and speed control, the flexibility to adapt to extreme environments and easy service and maintenance. When working in tight areas, such as trailers or lift gates, the Model 8210’s unrivaled maneuverability and speed control give the operator superior handling. Its exclusiveClick2Creep™ technology automatically reduces maximum travel speed while also providing a tighter turning radius for pin-wheeling or right-angle turning. And Raymond’s ACR System™ technology and static torque control provide superior speed control and transitions, especially at low speeds. The exclusive Lift and Go™ technology prevents wear to the underside of forks. Stainless steel undercarriage pins prevent corrosion in wet applications. New reflective materials on logos are ideal for low-light applications. Easy-to-access electric brake release retains braking ability when engaged. www.raymondcorp.com

Hamilton crushes downtime with new no-maintenance casters Hamilton Caster is proud to introduce Spinfinity™ - a new line of heavy duty maintenancefree casters. Incorporated into the swivel kingpinless construction is special cnc-machining to host a large internal seal. The seal is made from Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and is completely enclosed inside the swivel assembly. With no outside exposure, the swivel assembly is well suited to keep grease in and contaminants out. As is customary with Hamilton, the Spinfinity casters boast extra thick forgings and proven kingpinless swivel technology for superior durability over the life of the casters. The top plate and inner raceway are one forged steel piece, not a weldment, providing unmatched strength for shock conditions. The raceways are CNC-machined and then hardened to a uniform depth. These processes assure a smoothly swiveling caster under heavy loads. All of this adds up to Spinfinity® carrying the industry’s best three-year product warranty. “The grease fittings are gone!” explained Jeff Spektor, the lead designer of Spinfinity. “With the permanent seals in the swivel raceway and the wheel hub, grease fittings are no longer required.” www.hamiltoncaster.com

New PalletPal Walkie from Southworth The PalletPal Walkie is an automatic spring actuated level loader that works in tandem with your existing powered walkie or rider pallet trucks. The PalletPal Walkie works with all standard electric walkie and walkie/riders. How to use it for order picking A worker simply drives the pallet truck into the PalletPal’s built in fork channels. Flared ends in fork channels make lining up the forks simple. An empty pallet is positioned on the skid resistant platform. The worker does the same job he has always done except, the platform is at a comfortable height which can be loaded easily with no bending or stretching. As more items are added the Walkie’s spring compresses to lower the platform while keeping the top level at a comfortable, ergonomic height. PalletPal Walkie features include: Automatic Height Adjustment - Spring mechanism responds to load, requires no electrical power, platform accommodates all types of pallets and skids including GEO and half pallets and platform recesses and narrow base pads allows workers to get closer to the load. www.southworthproducts.com

Multi-Conveyor recently built a system of stainless steel constructed conveyor sections that incorporate plastic belt conveyors with cleated inclines, rotary accumulation to a final hand-pack station. After the confectionary product is scanned by an existing metal detection system, the individually wrapped product is dispensed onto a singled powered plastic belt conveyor. The elevation changes from horizontal to incline then back to horizontal. Trays were placed in key locations to test random product for quality and sample inspection. The trays are triggered to open and close, pneumatically, at the customer’s command. The cleats on both of the horizontal and incline belts help stabilize smaller product to prevent falling while in transport. The higher elevated conveyor section elevates the individual product at a load of two pounds per lineal foot at a rate of 60 fpm. The pieces are fed into an existing bagger which then, by shear gravity, will drop newly bagged product onto a lower elevation conveyor.
