Cover Story Garry Bartecki
Be prepared Can you believe it ... another year goes by. Hope it went well for you and your company. Also hope you learned some things about running or working in a material handling company in this economic environment. I guess if you ended the year with more money in the bank account than what you started with you seem to be on the right track. Let’s see ... 2016 ... election year. Usually not much goes on in an election year except for my BS meter blowing its top. When I ask my industry contacts what to expect for 2016, I have been getting a few seconds of silence before they answer. It’s like they are having a hard time figuring out what to say. All I know is I am not getting an immediate spontaneous “It’s going to be a super year” respond. What are you hearing ... I would like to know? In my activities where I work with various dealer groups I always take some time to look up the industrial segment of the economy to see how the trends are moving. What I currently see (mid November data) is: ♣ Year-over-year sales slowing ♣ Increasing inventories ♣ Export growth and import prices falling ♣ Private sector hires slowing ♣ Earnings and per share going negative. Material Handling market experts are expecting a 1-2% increase in lift truck activity, without knowing who exactly will be the lucky ones to get that 1-2% increase. And we all know some may get 3-4% while others lose 1-2% where the overall average comes out to 1-2%. In short, my conservative 2016 budgets and projections would reflect equipment sales similar to 2015’s, assuming there is no normalizing entry to make for 2015 sales. Any other sales increases will have to be taken from competitors.
Bank analysts see the industrial section as soft in 2016 for many of the reasons noted above. The only real growth area seems to be construction. While the industrial section may be soft the aerospace and auto segments should be fairly strong. Does this give you any reason to assume lift truck sales will be strong in 2016?

Cover Story When I dig deeper into 2016 people feel that dealers as well as customers are: ♠ Taking a wait and see attitude ♠ Focusing on short-term decision making ♠ Avoiding taking on addition commitments Not sure I blame them at this point. I guess 2016 should be approached by keeping your cards close to your vest, and deal with the growth opportunities when they surface. The advantage material handling dealers do have going for them is their ability to work their aftermarket services as well as other value added services that help customers reduce cost. They do, however, need to provide these services on a competitive basis, meaning keeping up with technology, training their techs and using mobile technology to deliver better, faster, more profitable (for both parties) services using technology that allows you to take market share. There are also some rental issues to consider. Rental, in general, has been a growth industry the last 10 years and continues to grow because more OEM’s and dealers are getting into the rental business, both rent-to-sell and rent-to-rent transactions. While long-term and short-term rental has been a mainstay for material handling dealers I believe changes are on the horizon. As customers get more educated about rental they seem to be analyzing the cost of rental on their business and are looking for and finding ways to better manage their rental dollars. It appears customers are more resistant to signing on for long-term

commitments in exchange for more short-term control. If I were a customer reviewing the same industry data I see I would refrain from signing up for 60-month contracts and would suggest maybe a core group of 60-month rentals and a more flexible program for the remaining units where I could cut off the program for when my demand is weak and bring them back on as needed. Makes sense to me. In the overall rental world... Rental companies are keeping units in the fleet longer to increase the ROI on the original equipment cost. (Possible with your equipment? I think so.) Rental companies are buying refurbished units and also providing refurbishment services to upgrade both customer equipment and their own rental fleets. (Something you can do to increase margins on used equipment sales? I think so.) There are now services out there to help equipment owners rent their equipment when it is not required by their business needs. (I had reservations about this one but they seem to have a system customers could find acceptable.) The bottom line here is, if both our sales activities and rental activities are threatened, it could become a financial problem unless your product support activities are top notch ... and I mean top notch. So it looks like we are all in a wait-and-see position regarding 2016. See what the government is going to do, what the economy is going to do, what the international results will be, how the tax rules will change, what customers are going to expect from us in terms of analytics and data to manage their material handling costs. This is probably a good year to sit down with your top 50 customers to get their take on 2016 so that you have more ammo to work with in terms of your plans for 2016. I would like to hear what you are thinking. Send me your thoughts. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you will have more bucks in the bank than you do today on January 1, 2017.

Aftermarket John R. Walker
Hire a technician! I have been consulting with equipment dealers about their aftermarket or their product support sales and profit for 40+ years. You can’t imagine over the years how many times I’ve been told: “I don’t understand how difficult it is to hire technicians!” I ask myself are these Doubting Thomas’ all right or are they wrong? But I will continue working at assisting equipment dealers to do just that and that is for them to seek out and hire more technicians. Bob Currie in developing his Dealer Cost of Doing Business Studies states that in the next three to five years 50% of the equipment dealer’s work force will be technicians. The successful dealers recognized this years ago. I regularly communicate with one successful dealer who has over 300 technicians and this year’s business plan calls for the hiring of a minimum of 30 more. The dealership has three HR personnel who spend the bulk of their time hiring technicians . . . this dealer works at hiring technicians and the dealership’s hard work has truly paid off. My comments to equipment dealerships who tell me how hard it is to hire technicians is to impress upon them while it is hard work to hire technicians, service is also where the dealership’s unrecognized opportunity lies. I want to point out that if they recognize that hiring professionals, and today specifically

technicians, then the dealership has to focus upon the task, develop a specific plan and then get the job done. It seems that every day when working with dealers, attempting to encourage them to focus more and more upon marketing the service repair end of their business I receive the same frustrating reply mentioned above; but from others I get the reply: I know you’re right, but I just haven’t been able to get around to it. Consider how much time, effort and money you spend trying to find a half way decent sales manager or even a salesperson. You’ll hire a head-hunter, you’ll fly people halfway across the country to interview, and no amount of effort will be spared. But the only thing that makes you think about hiring a technician is when your shop is overflowing with backed-up service work. Then it becomes a get-it-done task to find a warm body. Have any of you considered the hiring of what some people call a head-hunter? I can see the look on many dealers’ faces when they read this comment. The dealer rolls his eyes and asks another question: “Do you know what you have to pay to recruit with a head-hunter? Take a look at your unrecognized opportunities to be found in your service department before you answer that question. We have a client in a major market center that will attend every trade fair and occupies a booth set up strictly to hire technicians. The dealer mans the booth with four people, his service manager and his HR person and during the dealer principal makes an appearance. Together this staff lays out for potential candidates all of the features, advantages and benefits the candidates would experience in coming to work for the dealership. Hire A Vet! “The troops are coming home!” “The size of our military is being reduced!” “A lot of veterans are going to be out there looking for jobs!” Several weeks ago I was talking with a service manager friend of mine who I knew was hiring technicians from the military pool. Over the years he has hired nine technicians who have come out of the military and just this week he hired a Navy person with a technical background and was bringing him to Texas. I asked him how he convinced a guy on the east coast to relocate to Texas. He told me that most military personnel know that Texas is friendly to the military and the guy wanted to come to Texas. It is a seller’s market for experienced service technicians. The law of supply versus demand has kicked in and as we mentioned many times, the demand for technicians far out paces the supply. Maybe, just maybe that is the miracle all of you who constantly state how difficult it is to find a technician have been waiting for. It’s payback time, ladies and gentlemen! I discovered long ago how much it meant to have a job offered when I was released from the service. I am a Veteran. I was drafted. I wasn’t a volunteer like all of these great people are today. Most equipment dealers have cycles in their business when business slows down, and most business cycles follow a pattern. When business is slow we are told to cut back on expenses and personnel. This of course makes sense, but where do we cut? Maybe we can lay off a few technicians, even though we know

Aftermarket it will be hard to hire them back after the market turns around. Maybe we lay off a new hire, our aftermarket sales person. Funny most of the successful dealers believe just the opposite. They send somebody out there to market their shop, to bring the equipment in for repair. When a dealer tells us he does not have enough service business right now to hire a technician, we tell him to look at his Service Contribution to Total Sales. Most dealers, except the professionals run single digits. This is a clear indication that they are missing the greatest sales opportunity available to their dealership. We tell them to get out there, become proactive and fill up the shop. Again their comeback, “we can’t find technicians!” If we continue to sit around waiting for some miracle to happen, you can be sure that little will change. I know a corporate service manager who has six service managers. Each one has been assigned a trade school within their area. Each one spends a day a month visiting the schools and recruiting. They are not sitting around in their offices waiting for a prospect to walk through the door. The sub-title of this month’s article is: Hire a Vet! Maybe, just maybe that is the miracle all of you who constantly state how difficult it is to find a technician have been waiting for. It’s payback time, ladies and gentlemen! These men and women fought for your freedom. I ask all of the equipment dealers I visit or talk with over the phone what their experience has been with hiring veterans. Yes, I hear a few sour grape stories, but that is bound to happen. I also hear a lot of great stories, like the guy who told me: “they don’t always have the work experience on
our type of equipment, but they sure do have a great work-ethic and I’ll take work-ethic every time over experience!” In almost all the ads we see one line that we believe dealers should question and drop: “Applicant must have ____ years of experience working on __________ equipment.” Doesn’t this severely limit the pool of technicians you will be interviewing? Most manufacturers today are providing excellent hands-on training for technicians. If professionals have the knowledge of the basics: finding information, pre-delivery, planned maintenance, electronics, hydraulics, system trouble-shooting, diagnosis, computer knowledge, up-selling, etc., then they can quickly learn all that is necessary to work on the equipment that your dealership sells. Yes, sending technicians off to a factory-training course located in some far off city for a week can be expensive i.e., transportation, lodging and meals, not to mention the lost job time for the individual and the service department. All of these arguments against training only make sense as long as the dealership perceives this training as an expense and not as an investment. In any successful equipment dealership it is the dealership’s investment in people that pays off! Professionals never stop their educational process. Technicians welcome every opportunity for more training and become frustrated when dealers block their efforts and their thirst for learning more about the profession that they have chosen. An investment is not an expense. In today’s fast moving market place the dealer who does not invest in personnel is going to be left behind.

Aftermarket Computer training, understanding and knowledge are a must for professional service technicians. Working on any piece of equipment today is tied into a computer and the technicians’ ability to diagnose the problem via the black-box. Manufacturers are going to continue at an accelerated rate to produce more and more sophisticated equipment. The dealership’s professional sales force will sell this equipment with all of its bells and whistles. This equipment, despite the manufacturer’s or the sales person’s claims will at some point fail under operation. If at that point the dealer has failed to invest in the dealership’s technicians, then possibly the equipment is going to sit idle waiting for someone to repair whatever caused the repair problem? At this time we can think of no other position within the typical equipment dealership that is as important as the qualified, professional service technician. The position is important for two primary reasons: 1) It has and it can continue to provide the dealership significant cash flow and exceptional profitability, and 2) the position develops strong customer loyalty and keeps the customer coming back for more of the dealership’s products and service. Develop a cultural change in your dealership. Look at hiring, training, compensation/motivation and maintenance of a quality and professional group of service technicians as an investment
in the growth and profitability of your business. It should be an expense only on your financial statement! Look at your hiring practices. Do you put the same effort into hiring technicians as you do sales personnel? How do your recruiting ads look? Do you sell the features, advantages and benefits of working for your dealership? Have you studied your recruiting procedures? Does the candidate only meet with the service manager? Do you stress that your dealership is offering a career opportunity? Does the candidate walk away with the understanding that your dealership is offering much more than just a job? Have you considered a pay for performance program for technicians, a pay program that rewards quality work to the professional service technician? Do you indicate that your dealership offers opportunity for advancement through technician training? Yes, hiring, training and maintaining quality, professional service technicians is hard work. Ann Landers is quoted as saying: “Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don’t recognize them!” John R. Walker is president of Aftermarket Services Consulting Co. Inc.

Caterpillar warns lower Chinese demand will limit sales Caterpillar has warned that it does not expect Chinese demand for excavators to recover to the peaks of 2010-12. Tom Pellette, group president for construction industry equipment, made the remarks as the Chinese economy recorded its slowest growth rate since 2009 in the third quarter, due to declining construction and factory activity, which many economists do not believe has bottomed out yet. The forecasts also highlight Beijing’s efforts to rebalance the economy away from its traditional drivers such as manufacturing and investment and towards consumer spending. It also demonstrates the impact of the stimulus program, which the government unleashed during the global financial crisis, had on demand. Mr Pellette said industry-wide sales of hydraulic excavators between 10-90 tons, will reach the “23,000 range” in China this year. That compares with a total of more than 27,000 sold in March alone in 2011 and more than 112,000 for the whole of 2010, which was the peak year for the market. The company does not disclose figures for sales of its own products by country. www.cat.com

ITC Manufacturing declares Chapter 11 bankruptcy
USMTO forecasts soft start to 2016
International Technical Coatings, Inc. dba ITC Manufacturing with facilities in Arizona and Ohio has declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court District of Arizona. On November 18, 2015 court documents show Faruk Gole, president and CEO of ITC filed for bankruptcy relief to restructure its debt obligations primarily those owning to the Bank of America. Since 2011 multiple loans have been taken out at approximately $28.3 million. ITC currently owes Bank of America approximately $25.7 million. On October 28, 2015, Bank of America applied for appointment of a receiver over ITC. Unable to secure an agreement with Bank of America, prior to the scheduled hearing, ITC filed for bankruptcy protection. ITC believes that its overall business plans and strategies are sound and will be successful if certain of their debt obligations can be restructured. In this regard, particular emphasis will be placed on refinancing the Bank’s obligations - utilizing not only ITC’s assets, but also the personal assets of ITC’s sole shareholder Johnnie Caldwell. They employ over 233 full and part-time employees. ITC is a manufacturer of wire mesh products for the material handling and storage products industries. www.itcmfg.com

Orders still lagging over 2014 - The most recent U.S. Manufacturing Technology Orders report from AMT – The Association for Manufacturing Technology indicates that orders grew in September compared to August totals, but still stand at a significant shortfall as compared to the same time a year ago. Industry forecasts predict continued softness for manufacturing technology orders into the third quarter of 2016. While still facing headwinds from a stronger dollar and weak investment from the energy industry, strong activity in the automotive, medical, and aerospace industries is creating demand for manufacturing technology. Automotive has been a particular bright spot as automakers continue to introduce new models and make large investments in new factories in the Southeast. USMTO measures net new orders every month based on gross order and cancellation data collected from U.S. distributors and builders of manufacturing technology. It is a leading indicator for the health of the U.S. industrial base – either growth or softening. www.amtonline.org

Human Element Caliper Corp.
What do James Bond and Godzilla have in common? Aside from a penchant for indiscriminate destruction and a history of facing off against outlandish villains, both characters belong to two of the longest-running, most prolific movie series ever. Since 1962, James Bond has gone on 24 big-screen missions (26 if you count the “unofficial” Bond films released in 1967 and 1983), and Godzilla has suited up a whopping 30 times since 1954. Yes, I’m including the Matthew Broderick Godzilla debacle from 1998, purely on a technicality (it’s officially licensed blah blah blah). My apologies. But while moviegoers must wait until 2018 to see Godzilla go head to heads with his old nemesis Ghidorah and until 2020 to see him to square off against everyone’s favorite extreme climber King Kong, they can watch MI6’s secret agent 007 (Daniel Craig) match wits with supervillain Franz Oberhauser (Christoph Waltz) as early as this Friday, when Bond’s latest adventure, Spectre, debuts on U.S. theater screens. In the new film, Bond sets off to find out why he is referred to as a “secret” agent, when, in fact, he’s rather the worst, leastsecret agent imaginable. If you were an undercover operative, would you go around spouting catchphrases? And if you did, would your primary catchphrase have your last name in it twice? Initiating a car chase in an Aston Martin at high noon down Main Street is not a great way to go unnoticed, either. 007 is lucky he
doesn’t show up on YouTube every week. I guess there are no cell phone cameras in the Bond universe. Surely Her Majesty is not amused by Bond’s antics or, for that matter, by MI6’s agent-screening process. How do they choose their spies anyway? It’s a dangerous job, so one would assume their applicants are probably risk takers by nature. At the same time, they have to be calm under pressure, with confidence, strategic thinking skills, and levelheadedness also being important qualities. But what about following international laws, showing discretion, and being empathetic toward native cultures? James Bond is abjectly terrible at those things. Every employee is going to show a mix of strengths and developmental areas, but most foremen aren’t trying to fly fighter jets through the warehouse are they? And call-center service reps seldom conduct speedboat chases on the duck pond out back. The British Intelligence Service wasn’t intelligent enough to use a validated pre-employment personality assessment before hiring James Bond, and now they’re stuck with him. The only way 007 can keep getting away with these hijinks is if an even deeper undercover agent runs interference by causing still greater havoc elsewhere. Let’s see, who is good at causing large-scale havoc?

Hyster-Yale Materials Handling announces new branding Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. announced that its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc., which designs, engineers, manufactures, sells, and services a comprehensive line of lift trucks and aftermarket parts marketed globally primarily under the Hyster® and Yale® brand names will change its corporate name to Hyster-Yale Group, Inc. effective January 1, 2016. Also, in connection with this name change, HysterYale Materials Handling, Inc. and Hyster-Yale Group, Inc. will adopt a new corporate logo on January 1, 2016. The name change is designed to reinforce Hyster-Yale Group’s position as the operating company under Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. and to eliminate any confusion created by continuing to use NACCO in the operating company name subsequent to the 2012 spin-off of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling from NACCO Industries, Inc. “The new Hyster-Yale Group name and logo reflect a combination of tradition and progress. While our identity may be new, we remain committed to delivering high quality and innovative products across all our brands, including Hyster®, Yale®, UTILEV® and Nuvera®,” said Colin Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer of NACCO Materials Handling Group. “The new name and logo further unify our identities and underscore our ongoing commitment to all of our brands, and create an umbrella under which the company will focus on executing its core strategic initiatives.”
KEYTROLLER hires new regional manager KEYTROLLER, LLC is proud to announce the hiring of Skip Summers as our new regional manager for our southeast & central region of North America including Western Canada. Skip brings a wealth of knowledge with over 40 years’ experience in the lift truck industry on both the dealership Skip Summers and the OEM level. Keytroller’s President Terry Wickman comments: “We are so lucky to have Skip join our organization. We produce a variety of electronic devices that improve the safety and productivity of material handling fleets – so effective selling of our products requires extensive knowledge of forklift problems and applications. Skip has seen so many lift truck applications nationwide during his career, that he has an inherent knowledge as to the client’s application requirements and to where our products are best applied. Since we are really selling solutions to forklift problems – we are very happy and excited to have a “problem solver” join our team”. www.keytroller.com

Crown Equipment increases manufacturing footprint in Ohio In an effort to meet growing global demand, Crown Equipment Corporation, one of the world’s largest material handling companies, recently completed an expansion project that doubled the size of the company’s electronics assembly plant. Employees at the New Bremen, Ohio, facility manufacture and assemble the circuit boards and control modules used globally in the majority of Crown forklifts. The 30,000-square-foot addition includes a mixture of office space and assembly equipment, including an existing surface mount assembly line. The electronics assembled in the facility include the control module that provides the interface for Crown’s InfoLink® wireless fleet and operator management system, which is integrated into the forklift and enables fleet managers to wirelessly stay connected to their fleet and operators. www.crown.com

Sales Trends Art Sobczak
Getting the money when they say there is no budget Last week I covered how asking about budgets can actually— and often—lose sales. However, there ARE situations where budget is truly an issue. Far fewer times than the illusion of a budget blocks a sale, or a lie about a budget, but nonetheless it does occur. In this case you simply need to put on your detective’s hat and become a problem-solver to explore how they can come up with the money to buy. The first step is to ensure they are personally sold on what you’re offering. Otherwise, they won’t do what’s necessary to locate the needed money, right? For example, Prospect: “We just don’t have the kind of money you’re asking for. It’s not in our budget.” Sales Rep: “I see. Let’s talk about that. What I’m reading from you is that this is something you personally are sold on, and would really like to do. Is that right?”
Or, “Ok, let’s talk about that. I want to be sure we’re on the same page. First, if the budget/price was not an issue, this is what you would like to do, right?” Listen carefully to their answer. If they hem and haw, or flat out say “no,” their commitment isn’t strong enough. They’re not sold yet. You’ve got a bigger problem than the price and budget concern. You need to help them understand the value they’ll get so they’ll “go to bat” to find the money. If they do agree that they want to buy, but they’re handcuffed by the budget issue, your next step is to shift to questioning. • “Is there someone who could approve the money for this?” • “Which other categories might we be able to list this expense under now?” • “Are there any miscellaneous or special budgets you can draw from?” • “Can you borrow from next year’s budget in order to get the funds now?”
The Ecopoint charger from Ecotec is a full featured industrial battery charger available in 2 models for 8 hr. and 10 hr. recharge. The standard ECO-250 control offers data management normally found only in much more expensive chargers. For pallet jacks, consider the fully automatic STC taper charger. Plugs into any 120V outlet for convenience and portability. For the ultimate in efficiency and flexibility, consider the Access high frequency charger. Models are available for both conventional and opportunity charging.

Sales Trends • “Which other departments might also be able to benefit from this purchase and might be able to share, or entirely handle the investment?” • “What have you done in the past when you’ve identified something like this that you really wanted, and that would pay for itself? How did you come up with the funding for it?” • “What have you done in similar situations?” (Whenever you can identify a precedent, it’s easier to repeat it than to plow new ground.) If you still come up empty, another idea is a downsell. If the total amount is the issue, recommend an alternative that might not be the perfect solution, but a passable, less expensive one that would fit their budget in the meantime. And at the very least, shoot for getting commitment that they will put you in the next budget. Discuss time frames and do follow up so a competitor doesn’t weasel in. • “When is your budget year over?”
Merry Christmas from your friends at American Industrial Transmission Inc.
• “When do you need to make requests for your next budget?” • “How much money did you have in the budget under this category last year, and what can you expect to get this year?” Art Sobczak helps sales pros prospect, sell and service accounts more effectively by using conversationally, non-sales messaging, and without “rejection.” Get a free ebook of 501 telephone sales tips at businessbyphone.com/501-tips-ebook.

Your Business Eileen Schmidt
The ultimate “fun” office – AK Material Handling Systems There is a little wrinkle to job interviews at AK Material Handling Systems – candidates are asked a few questions that have nothing to do with the business or the position for which they are applying. Instead, they are asked about what they do outside of work. What kind of hobbies do they pursue? How are they involved in the community? It is part of a strategy by the company to unearth the kind of people who will fit with their team – a group company leaders describe as active and positive. The screening helps prevent bringing on someone with a negative outlook that could ruin the enthusiastic dynamic, according to company leaders. The selective process has paid off. In 2014, Minnesota Business Magazine named AK Material Handling “The Ultimate Fun Office” in its annual 100 Best Companies to Work for Awards. Headquartered in Maple Grove, Minn., the business was founded as A&K Equipment Co. in 1988. Today, the business employs 22 people and also operates Wholesale Pallet Rack Products as its wholesale division, which marked its 15th anniversary in 2015. Offering complete turnkey pallet racking systems, AK Material Handling provides space planning, design, layouts, budgeting,
supplying and installation services. Sometimes that means a combination of those services, like the company’s recent project on behalf of grocery distributor Miner’s Inc. in Duluth, Minn. The extensive project involved installing new pallet racking for the company’s existing warehouse space and a nearly 86,000-squarefoot new addition, all while avoiding disrupting the flow of traffic moving products to-and-from the 33 stores in the Miner’s Inc. fleet. “Timing is everything with a project like this, and we needed to do whatever it took to meet expectations,” said Brenda Harrison, AK Senior Project Account Specialist, in a project spotlight report published on the AK website. In early 2015, three months after the installation of the first of the 9,000 pallet positions began, the project was completed and Miner’s Inc.’s Don Olson labeled the install team “impeccable.” Olson, a store planning and facilities manager for Miner’s Inc., lauded the precision of the finished project. “The most impressive view in the warehouse appears when you turn the corner and can see over 600 feet of perfectly-aligned racking,” he said, in the spotlight report. But the years of operation have also brought their share of challenges, not the least of which has been the technological

Your Business revolution of the last few decades. AK Material Handling, which transitioned to a focus on pallet racking shortly after the turn of the century, decided to meet this recent change head on by heading up its own efforts to build an online presence. By creating the sites themselves, the company ensured its team were the masters of the company websites and social media outreach, according to Al Boston, chief executive officer. It has been a successful endeavor; providing new means for reaching current and potential customers and helping drive company metrics up nearly 40 percent in the first half of 2015, according to Boston. Both the emphasis on an active online presence and the positive attitudes of the AK team were visible online last November, when the company posted a blog entitled ‘Ready Set Mo! It’s Movember at AKMHS.’ They invited others to join their team committing to a month of movement and growing mustaches in the name of men’s health, and posted pictures of their own employees’ efforts. “Making a difference is fun and we believe that serving and fund raising as a team through events like this helps us grow as a company and as individuals,” the article said. “That’s it, it’s as simple as that.” Eileen Schmidt is a freelance writer and journalist based in the Greater Milwaukee area.

AutoGuide™ introduces new tunneling automated guided vehicle
Gorbel announces availability of new Easy Arm® 660
AutoGuide has introduced the TV1000, a low-profile automated guided vehicle (AGV) that tunnels under its loads to optimize assembly line processes and lean manufacturing. The state-of-the-art, computercontrolled TV1000 has a patentpending, modular design that is the first of its kind. The AutoGuide TV1000 transports materials through pickup and delivery routines. Its low profile allows it to tunnel under a cart, automatically hitch to it, and move it along a magnetic path. “The technology and design of the TV1000 have already proven to be highly successful in world-class automotive manufacturing plants, and we’re eager to introduce those benefits to more companies,” said Scott McElmurray, vice president of AutoGuide. “It delivers immediate efficiencies and a quick return on investment.”
Gorbel, manufacturer of material handling and fall protection solutions, announces the availability of its new Easy Arm® 660, a new product in its successful family of Intelligent Lifting Devices. This new Easy Arm®, with load capacity up to 660 lbs., addresses a variety of application needs ranging from placement of automobile engines, to loading of large plates in CNC machines. This free-standing, plug and play lifting solution incorporates the popular G-Force® Intelligent Lifting technology with the body of an ergonomic articulating jib crane. The unit offers the responsiveness and flexibility of a human operator with unparalleled precision. Boasting spans up to 14 feet, the Easy Arm® 660 covers a wide area and handles unique “pick and place” operations. In addition to pinpoint precision, the unit can reach lifting speeds up to 45 feet per minute for high production environments. The integral, electrical servo-powered G-Force® is fully-programmable to match the device with the work being performed, and can be outfitted with tooling capabilities designed specifically for the size and structure of the load. Capacity overload, power loss protection, and a built-in float mode for exact positioning allow the system to stand-out from other lifting devices. www.gorbel.com

Hamilton introduces DuraGlide wheels Hamilton Caster announces the release of a new polyurethane tread wheel series: DuraGlide. Hamilton’s new DuraGlide Wheel rolls up to 40% easier than most other polyurethanes, performs well at higher speeds, and represents Hamilton’s top poly performer for moist or outdoor applications. Designed for extra heavy loads, the new wheel features 1” thick tread of dynamically responsive polyurethane molded to a heavy duty cast iron core. Heat buildup is the primary cause of failure for most poly wheels, so engineers specially formulated DuraGlide to run much cooler than other polys. The thicker 1” tread reduces heat stress on the bond line and lowers the internal stresses of the material. Engineers also formulated the polyurethane to be less susceptible to damaging ultraviolet rays and essentially impervious to moisture. The new poly formulation in a thick tread profile provides less stress fatigue and results in a wheel that outlasts and outperforms other similar polyurethane wheels. www.hamiltoncaster.com
TVH’s rechargeable road flares are essential for any work environment TVH in the Americas (TVH) has added the Meteorlite® Rechargeable Road Flare to its wide variety of safety product offerings. These rechargeable flares are an essential piece of equipment for any work environment. They are an ideal replacement for traditional incendiary flares and plastic road reflectors. They are safer to use, environmentally friendly and very durable. But these flares aren’t just for the road. With their magnetic mounting base they also work great as a replacement for an emergency strobe and can be used to alert staff if a machine is down, or work is being done in a high traffic area. These flares can also be placed on a piece of equipment to alert those around that it is in use. These versatile flares have nine different flashing patterns, 16 amber LEDs and a visibility range of 1,000 feet during the day and 3,000 feet at night. The lithium ion battery takes two to three hours to charge and the flare has a run time of 5 to 60 hours depending on the flash pattern being used. This rechargeable road flare comes in a six piece kit with charging case or as a single flare. www.tvh.com
