Cover Story Garry Bartecki

Ready for the 2017 financial roller coaster?

I am going to start out wishing you HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A PROFITABLE NEW YEAR!

Taxes

Boy, that 15% tax rate talk for C-Corps sounds good, does it not? Almost sounds too good to be true. It may entice international companies to bring more work to US shores, but may or may not work out for the national companies (that is you.)

Thought I would supply the greetings now because we have some serious issues to discuss this month, and by the end of this column the HAPPY HOLIDAYS may hold but the PROFITABLE NEW YEAR may be suspect, especially if you ignore your management responsibilities.

There is also talk to allow flow-through entities to pay the C-Corp rate on business taxable income that would normally be taxed at your personal rates on your 1040. There has to be strings attached because it would be too easy to manipulate your salary (which would be taxed at your personal rates) while the balance of taxable business income would be taxed at 15%.

Now why would I say that and spoil your holiday season? Let me tell you why: 1. The MHI forecasts for new orders expects a 13% drop in 2017, with minor increases the following two years.

Trumps Personal Tax Rates

2. We have unknown tax changes to be implemented in 2017. MHEM Expectations and Forecasts

3. Interest rates are probably going up again in 2017. 4. The new lease accounting rules will have to be planned for. Expectations

MHI forcasts  New Orders are expected to rise in 2016 by $0.9 billion to a new record of $34.6 billion.

 Shipments are expected to rise in 2016 by $2.3 billion to a record $34.3 billion. forecasts are influenced bya record what$36.4 happens  MHI’s Domestic Demand is expected rise in 2016 by directly $2.9 billion to billion. with are expected to risecorrelations in 2016 by $1.2 billion to $12.2 new Unfilled orders.Orders They see direct related to billion. industrial growth  Inventories are expected to rise modestly in 2016 to $4.6 billion from $4.3 billion.

We also know the GOP has their tax plan, which the last time I looked, was making changes to depreciation, personal deductions and other deductible expenses. Boy, throw all of this in your tax planning bucket and the BIG question is …..WHAT DO I DO WITH 2016 TAX PLANNING SO AS NOT TO MISS OUT ON 2017 OPPORTUNITIES? The other BIG issue is how you plan to deal with these changes on behalf of customers.

Forecasts: Market Value in Billions

MHEM Data Relationships

MHEM Series and Correlated Data Used in Predictive Modeling The enclosed MHEM models were created using multivariate regression analysis to identify the most relevant and predictive relationships to forecast MHEM data series. The table below shows the relationships (positive or negative correlations) that exist between each of the MHEM series (column headers) and the independent data used in the forecast models, including Economic, Market, and Other MHEM Expectations and Forecasts MHEM data that are shown in the table below as Model Inputs.

Interest rates Interest rate hikes…..just what you needed. But there is no doubt they have no place to go but up. If they do, customers are likely to slow down purchases and be more inclined to rent, and this will be especially so if tax benefits related to equipment purchases are reduced. On the other hand, it’s not like customers were paying 1% for their equipment loans, but going from 5% to 6% is still a 20% increase. It’s time to have multiple financing sources available when you have to shop rates for customers.

Lease accounting

You have been here before, and if you made it through the Great Recession in 2009 I guess you know what you need to do to deal with sales volatility. This time is different, however, because I don’t believe we will have the same level of recovery we had post Great Recession. If I had to guess, this will be a very slow recovery Domestic Demand = Shipments plus Imports less Exports where you will have to count on your after-market departments to carry the ball so that you maintain a 100% absorption rate. Source: Prestige Economics, LLC Source: Prestige Economics, LLC

And, of course, the unit sales will be a function of your sales and marketing efforts, hopefully strong enough to allow you to maintain your current levels of sales by taking market share from competitors.

Last but not least we have those damn CPA’s (that would be me) sticking their nose in your business once again wanting to get your customers’ operating lease liability recorded on their balance sheets. I assure you the bigger the customer the bigger this issue will be. Another nail in the coffin for long-term rentals as we know them. This does not apply to short-term rentals, but before you get too excited, a month-to-month rental for 60-months will not get them out of the problem. Big companies get “audited” by big accounting firms who know what to look for. The customer’s main problem will be covenant requirements regarding debt/equity ratios and debt service coverage requirements. Well, are you ready for dessert yet? Ok managers ...time to update your game plan for 2017 and beyond. I would start by digging up your playbook from 2009 or so and start there. If you are still with us I have to believe whatever

Cover Story you did in 2009-11 must have worked so why reinvent the wheel. Dust it off, review it, note any changes in assumptions that need to be made, throw in notes to deal with the issues above and you will be at a good starting point. Next, I would dig out your MHEDA DiSC report to see where you stand based on your location and size. I would pay particular attention to the “sales per employee” data that is presented for the company overall as well as production metrics for each department. Could it be that we are “fat” in a few departments and could make adjustments if we need to. I would be glad to help with this review if you want an outside opinion on where you stand. Part of this ops review would entail an analysis of your digital and telematics capability that streamlines service work and helps customers customize their ownership and maintenance requirements. The tax planning options available will be determined by where you stand tax wise going into 2017. There may be steps to take depending on whether you are a C-Corp, S-Corp, LLC or Partnership. You would have to review your entire tax picture to determine if there are benefits to be had in 2016 and/or benefit your tax position and cash flow in 2017. Obviously, there are transactions that have to be completed by the end of the year to qualify for benefits, and there are transactions completed by the end of the year that you will be able to adopt to your 2016 return as the planning dictates. If you need help with your tax situation or just need a review from an industry expert in these areas, Steve Pierson is the guy to call. He has worked with me for 25 years on all lift truck dealer issues, construction equipment dealer issues, rental company issues and leasing company issues. There is not a dealer issue he has not seen and believe me when I say he will not reinvent the wheel. He is the wheel. Have a question or issue that needs discussing, let me know. If we get numerous requests for the same issue we will put together a webinar for folks to attend and then follow up on individual issues as necessary.

if you are doing things the way you did ten years ago they probably need upgrading to improve your visibility in deals. I hear a number of dealers are upgrading their CRM systems which can be costly. I have another suggestion to make if you want to improve your deal visibility and close ratio. Drum roll please. For the poor man’s salesforce I suggest you contact Dave Gordon at Winsby. I have mentioned this before but I know for a fact that your customer retention, customer satisfaction, your ability to properly communicate with customers and potential customers will all improve for a fraction of the cost of a CRM system. And your sales folks will love it! dgordon@winsby.com or 708-2693499. I could not believe what they deliver for what they charge. Steve Pierson, Dave Gordon and I will be at the Material Handling Wholesaler Midwest Conference next June in Chicago. But if you need us before then to discuss the potential sales decline, tax issues, or other dealer problems from valuations or M&A transactions, give us a call. Take what I am telling you seriously and I forecast a profitable 2017 for you and your employees. Now are you ready for dessert? Garry Bartecki is a CPA MBA with GB Financial Services LLC. E-mail editorial@mhwmag.com to contact Garry.

Interest rates and equipment financing will be what they will be, but I would have a program available that provides customers with a full range of deal options from an outright sale, to capital lease, to operating lease and to any other financial merchandising option you can offer up. Of course, these worksheets should also provide monthly payment options, tax benefits and cash flow options. It should be mandatory that every quote presented have these options available.

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.

I will have your back on the lease accounting issue. We have some time before it is implemented but I would want to prepare a list of lease transactions that apply to the new rules, those that don’t and those that are in limbo. There is no doubt that by applying the new rules that lease expenses are brought forward to the first couple of years and then decline toward the end of the lease. This happens because an interest factor is applied to the outstanding balance as opposed to a straight-line payment that we now use for a monthly lease payment. There is no doubt there will be some creative accounting going on …and for small companies it may work, but for your larger, audited, customers the “true” obligation of the transaction is what will govern.

For the ultimate in efficiency and flexibility, consider the Access high frequency charger. Models are available for both conventional and opportunity charging.

Last but not least, let’s deal with the anticipated sales decline issue. If dealers want to increase unit sales they will have to take market share from a competitor. Consequently, a review of the sale process and sales department is in order. Times are a changing, so 6

Words to eliminate! When this issue is published, we will be closing the books on 2016, and heading into a brand new year. As a personal rule, I have never been one to participate in New Year resolutions. 99% (and perhaps more) of the resolutions that people set, are doomed to fail. Most of us will cede to the temptation we were avoiding well before the frozen days of January are behind us. I think that the reason we fail so often in this regard, is that we are not properly prepared for the commitment that is needed to truly conquer the challenge. There is no special magic that happens on January 1st that automatically imbues us with the self-discipline to make sweeping changes to our behavior. That doesn’t mean however that it’s not a good idea to use the change in the calendar to reflect on the state of the business at hand. The world is changing. 2017 is going to require embracing new initiatives in order to keep improving. Next year, in order to keep up with the demands on our resources we need to do things faster, better and more efficiently. In our efforts to use the tools at our disposal, and add the newest technology to our processes, I’ve been also thinking about how to improve our communication skills in the workplace. If efficiency is the currency of success, we have to always find ways to express ourselves that are concise, specific, honest and responsible. Above all, communication needs to be CLEAR. It’s many a

manager that repeats the worn out mantra “we need MORE communication.” I disagree. It’s my belief that we have no trouble at all with communication. We have “communication” coming out of our ears. Just look at how many devices we have. With all of this technology at our fingertips, we still miss the mark because what we really lack is UNDERSTANDING. The amount of communication is not nearly as important as the specificity of it. Hearing it is not necessarily understanding it. That said, I think there are words and phrases used every day in our business that I would love to see eliminated in the New Year. All of these drive me crazy in varying degrees. Trite phrases actually IMPEDE good communication. These phrases are overused, nonspecific, banal and just plain worn out. I think they can all be improved and in my opinion should be avoided, especially in the workplace. So, (with my tongue somewhat in my cheek), these are the top 10 phrases and activities to avoid in 2017. 1. At the end of the day Can we please quit with the end of the day? I would much rather talk about our ultimate goals. The “end of the day” should be a time of peace, not a moment to rehash

Aftermarket where we stand. At the end of the day I’m tired, hungry and want a meal and a glass of wine. Let’s not complicate that. 2. Take it to the next level Can’t you just set a goal? Nobody really knows what the next level is anyway. You don’t even know what it is. It is the catchall we use for better, faster and more efficient. The problem is that if we are too lazy to define those things, we just verbally sweep it all into a pile and call it the next level. Be specific. We can’t hit a target we don’t set. 3. As we speak How on earth can you ensure that anything is being done “as we speak?” You cannot be in two places at one time. Using “as we speak” suggests that the other party is being given top priority. Usually, the reason we have to promise that things are being done “as we speak,” is due to the fact that things did NOT get done right the first time. In these situations, it’s better not to manufacturing artificial sunshine by explaining what is being done “as we speak.” Most people see right through it. Even if the equipment is down, and the customer is frustrated, just simply state your plan going forward, its expected timeline, and your commitment to manage its progress. 4. Reaching out (contacting someone) If you need to call someone, just call them. I know it sounds softer and warmer to say “reaching out.” “Reaching out” however is a term I see used when the subject matter may be confrontational, embarrassing or awkward. Call it what it is. I would rather hear someone say “I need to confront this,” or “We need to square this up.” I like to reserve “reaching out” for when I really need some genuine help, or when I am engaging the elderly, the sick, the poor and others in need of help. If I need to contact you however, I’ll just call you. 5. My bad It’s not only bad grammar, it makes you sound like a 7th grader. Be a professional. Be an adult. Say “It’s my fault,” “I’m sorry” or “I take responsibility for that.” 6. Giving back This one drives me nuts. This is a phrase designed to explain generous and selfless giving by individuals or corporations, when in fact it connotes exactly the opposite message. If we are “giving back” when we donate to charity, it suggests that what we have somehow was obtained unfairly. The phrase suggests that we TOOK something that did not BELONG to us, so we had to “give it back.” If we rightfully earned our money, it belongs to US. We didn’t steal it. We earned it. To suggest that we need to “give it back” is insulting. Make no mistake, we don’t mind investing in our community, or providing for the needs of others, but we do so with the resources that we rightfully earned. We do it of our own volition, out of love and gratitude to God, not out of guilt or fear which is what the former implies. And now for the social media jungle: 7. Selfies If you have to constantly take photos of yourself and post them to social media in order to validate yourself, you have fundamental self-esteem issues. Get over yourself. Let other people take the pictures. While you’re at it….quite 12

Aftermarket sending me photos of your lunch. I really don’t care what you are eating, unless of course…you’re sharing it with me. 8. Profanity The fact that you place an asterisk or a dollar sign in the middle of a curse word does not showcase your brilliance. It’s not clever. It’s not new. Everyone knows what you mean. Even if you are angry, or feeling frustrated, do your best to reign in the profane name calling, and replace it with a cogent argument that demonstrates your intelligence and your communication skills. Remember that your professional colleagues, customers and possible future employers will stalk your social online profile to see what kind of person they are partnering with. 9. Games Yes, those ubiquitous invitations to play Farmville, Candy Crush, Bubble Witch, Pet Rescue, et al. You apparently have nothing to do, and (by the way) none of this belongs in the workplace. News Flash….the road to success doesn’t include any of this nonsense. Now, it’s easy to tell by now that I’m not a gamer, and it’s not that I don’t believe in having a little fun, but how brain dead have we gotten? Hey, if you want to be brain dead, go ahead….just please don’t invite me to join you. 10. Hashtag I don’t tweet. But I know those that do. The way I understand it, the hashtag was designed as a mechanism for sorting and cataloging like kind postings. The hashtag however has taken on a life of its own, and has pushed

its cross hatched tentacles into every available form of communication. It’s really run its course. If you have something to say…just say it. #irritating So there you have it. The bottom line here is to use communication for its intended purpose: to be understood and to keep everyone on the same page. Don’t get lazy with it. Poor communication actually moves you away from your goals. All you need to do is look at your gratis work for the year to see that well-articulated communication could have saved a lot of money in 2016. On to 2017. Happy New Year! Dave Baiocchi is the president of Resonant Dealer Services LLC. He has spent 33 years in the equipment business as a sales manager, aftermarket director and dealer principal. Dave now consults with dealerships nationwide to establish and enhance best practices, especially in the area of aftermarket development and performance. E-mail editorial@mhwmag.com to contact Dave.

Managers, put your best foot forward The pain started as only a dull ache on the bottom of the right heel. But then the left knee decided to join the party. And soon after, the iliotibial band on the outside of the thigh. Between doses of ibuprofen I thought, “Maybe my feet aren’t getting proper support.” We don’t often notice them until something goes wrong, but our feet are remarkably complex structures that have evolved to take the near constant, everyday pounding we put them through. When our shoes wear out and stop providing the right support,

our feet start to break down. And when we try to compensate for that lack of support, injuries to other areas soon start to show up, as I learned the hard way. In the workplace, employees at all levels require varying types and degrees of support from their managers and their organization—without that support, issues like disengagement, confusion and misalignment with organizational priorities, start to creep in and sap productivity. Such support can take a variety of forms, whether it is clear direction at the outset of a project, constructive performance feedback, or the resources needed to develop new skills and contribute to organizational success.

Hang them, stack them!

Visit us at

Whether you’re a just-promoted supervisor working with a new team or you’ve been managing a stable, established group for years, a key component of effective management is regular communication to update people about what’s going on, identify issues and ensure that job responsibilities are consistently aligned with organizational goals and strategy. There is a wealth of tools available today to help identify team strengths, opportunities, learning styles and ways to improve team effectiveness. The question is whether we take advantage of such tools to avoid problems, or to correct them.

What does optimal support look like? Different feet require different support – factors such as gait, arch height, size, shape and volume, what activity they’re being used for – all contribute to the optimal support. Some people do well in a minimalist shoe, others will need more cushion or arch support for their individual gait. Different employees may need different support – more or less direction, frequent or infrequent affirmation, a free hand or a tight grip on the reins from their manager.

If you want to ensure your shoes are providing the right support, you can talk to a sports medicine doctor, podiatrist, even a competent running store employee, for expert advice to get you back on your feet. If you want to ensure your company’s managers are providing the right support, you should talk to an organizational development expert for analysis and coaching—preferably before things run amok.

Sales Trends Art Sobzcak

“Shameless” sales tactics you need to avoid I had thought that today we were beyond much of the sleazy, deceptive tactics often associated with sales. But, sadly, I am wrong, as evidenced by an online article, “No Successful Salesperson Is Too Proud to Use Any of These 12 Shameless Tactics,” by Gene Marks, a sales consultant. The amazing thing is that this article appeared on Entrepreneur. com, what typically is a reputable site. Not any more, in my mind, if they give credibility to this crap. Today we are now experiencing that apparently it is OK for politicians to lie and deceive—which is a sad statement and dangerous rabbit hole to enter. But every truly successful sales pro I know is indeed too proud, and ethical to use most of these tactics. I’m going to share his 12 tactics with my remarks. 1. Ignore his office number and call his cell phone. The author suggests that if the cell number is on his email signature, or anywhere else, it’s not private. Then he suggests calling very early or late, and saying you thought it was his office phone and you were just going to leave a message—a blatant lie. I am behind the times on this and old school… I feel that calling someone’s mobile phone should be reserved for situations where you have explicit permission to do so. 2. Ask for him/her by first name. As in, “Dave please.” Of course the thinking here is that you will somehow trick the screener into thinking you are an acquaintance of Dave. Might it work? Sure. But my philosophy is, let’s work WITH the assistant, not try to go around them. 3. Say you’re returning his call. Oh. My. God. This was actually in the article: “OK, this may be shameless lying. But on the scale of lying it’s pretty far down the list.” Apparently the author’s ethics reside in a gray area as big as the sky on a rainy day. He then explains that if the prospect confronts you by saying he never called, you can shift the blame elsewhere, “Oh, someone here said you did.” Another lie. 4. Send the same email twice, five minutes apart. He says to apologize in the second one, saying the first bounced back. Did he get it? Let’s see, if you’re keeping score… four tips so far… a total of four lies. 5. Send six duplicate emails, all at the same time. Really. You can’t make this stuff up. He says to apologize in the seventh that you are having software problems (lie five), and hey, how about that open quote? 6. Send an email with the subject line, “Are you OK???” (And keep in the multiple question marks.) Then you should ask if he’s been ill… showing empathy and concern. “Of course you’re not concerned or sympathetic— 22

but there’s a fair chance he’ll reply when he thinks you are.” Lie number six. 7. Find the boss. Email his superior with the subject line, “I want to be sure Dave is OK.” Mention that you were talking but now can’t reach him, and the author reasons it will get forwarded to Dave. Ok, perhaps. But it doesn’t address why Dave was ignoring you, and could have the opposite effect, since you obviously are going over his head. 8. Send from a different domain. He reasons that perhaps your company emails are being filtered, so send from a Gmail or Yahoo account. Ok, I can approve of this one. Because its intent is not to deceive. 9. Spam him. Yes, but it is light spamming, the author defends. Put all of your tough-to-reach prospects on a list and bulk email them three-four times yearly. He emphasizes these are not people who asked to be on your list, you are indeed spamming them. I’m of the belief that if a tree falls in the woods it does make noise, and a bad, untargeted email does do damage. Come on, let’s get a little more creative here. 10. Text him. Tell him your emails aren’t going through, so you were concerned. Probably a lie, but he doesn’t say it in the article. Again, similar to my point on using mobile phones in general, if you don’t have permission, I would not suggest texting. 11. Message him on LinkedIn or Facebook. I personally do suggest sending Linkedin messages also, since they are more likely to get read and responded to. However, he leaves out a very critical point: have something of value when you message. Don’t make it all about you. 12. Tweet at him. This is the only point that even hints at something of value for the prospects. He suggests making it informational, perhaps sharing an article the prospect would get some value from. Congrats, Mr. Marks, after suggesting numerous lies and acts of deception, we have what most people could look at and say that is a good, solid, ethical tip. Too late though. I feel like I need a shower to get rid of the sleaze just from reading this article. There is no place for lying in professional, ethical sales. Every truly successful salesperson I know feels the same way, and I’m pretty sure you are in that group.

Clark’s celebrates 100 years with global affair

www.MHWmag.com

January 2017

Meanwhile, CLARK has relocated manufacturing of some products from Mexico back to Lexington. “We returned volume production of many of our critical lines to the U.S. to better control our own destiny,” Johnson said. Today, CLARK builds six products in Lexington. And last year, the business purchased four acres adjacent to its current nineacre location; the addition including open land and an existing building marked for future expansion. CLARK leaders are optimistic about the future, as the industry builds on several years of growth and demand for material handling products, according to Johnson. Challenges ahead include continuing to find good dealers and in meeting the competition of many good producers in North America. In addition, rapidly changing technology presents new challenges. But Johnson said the quality of the CLARK brand, including the iconic truck color instantly recognizable throughout the material handling industry, will continue. “We are stewards of the CLARK brand for today, as were our predecessors. Our job is to take its proud brand and continue to build with it and prepare the next group of leaders to come in and continue the legacy of the company,” Johnson said. Eileen Schmidt is a freelance writer and journalist based in the Greater Milwaukee area. She has written for print and online publications for the past 12 years.

At the top of the CLARK Material Handling Company website, a clock carefully measures the days, hours, minutes and seconds until an upcoming celebration. It won’t be any run-ofthe-mill occasion, but a global affair recognizing the company’s 100th anniversary. Between 400 and 500 people from the U.S., Korea, Germany and Australia will gather for a week in May at the lift truck manufacturer’s North American headquarters in Lexington. The gathering will include a gala event celebrating the centennial milestone and a series of meetings with both international and domestic dealers. “It will be a whole week of celebrations allowing attendees to reflect and appreciate our past and exciting conversations about the future,” said Scott Johnson, CLARK’s vice president of dealer services, in a phone interview with Material Handling Wholesaler. “During this week dealers will hear about, see and even drive new products that we have in the pipeline for 2017.” CLARK manufactures and distributes a full-line of lift trucks including IC counterbalanced, electric standup and sit-down models as well as a complete line of powered pallet jacks that are marketed globally. Additionally, the company offers CLARK genuine Original Equipment Parts and CLARK Totalift “will fit” parts. Launched in Battle Creek, Mich. in 1917, the company moved to central Kentucky in the mid 1980’s, and now houses its headquarters in Lexington and aftermarket distribution in Louisville. About 200 employees staff the locations, with additional field sales personnel located across the U.S. Global locations include a European headquarters in Duisburg, Germany, Australian headquarters in Sydney and Asian headquarters in Seoul, South Korea. There are also company locations in Brazil and Costa Rica. In 1997, the business produced its millionth truck and last year CLARK made its first appearance among the top 10 lift truck manufacturers in the world. In 2003, CLARK was purchased by the Young An Company, which Johnson said infused the business with a style and philosophy that was beneficial. “It was good for the company and good for the brand. We have great partners,” he said. In particular, CLARK has nurtured an emphasis on philanthropy and community involvement in recent years that has become engrained in day-to-day operations. There are full time staffers at CLARK focused on philanthropic efforts and each employee is given time to devote to a charity of their choice. One current project is the raising of funds and building of a home for a local family in need. “It’s easy to write a check but it’s more rewarding if you really get vested and put in some sweat equity,” Johnson said. Along with this outreach, Johnson said CLARK has thrived over its 100 years, thanks to efforts to preserve the iconic brand name, relationships with dealers, and innovations for the lift truck industry. While focused on traditional challenges like building quality trucks and delivering quality parts, the business has remained profitable and continues to grow, said Johnson. “We will be making some significant product announcements in 2017,” said Johnson, who said pending new product releases are generating excitement within the company and should “give our dealers a lot to talk about.”

To earn this prestigious award, a dealership must excel in many areas, including: new equipment sales, parts sales, market share and service excellence. The dealer must also possess the characteristics of UCA’s never quit attitude, always going the extra mile and accepting any and all challenges. This year, the President’s Award winner was named as Vegusa Maquinaria. This is the first time, within 26 years, the President’s Award was presented to a dealer in Latin America. www.unicarriersamericas.com

TVH celebrates the Great American Smokeout TVH in the Americas (TVH), provider of quality replacement parts and accessories for the material handling and industrial equipment industry asked its employees to join the millions taking part in the Great American Smokeout on November 17th and take the pledge to not smoke. “We want to encourage, support and assist our employees to enhance their quality of life. The impact of smoking nicotine has a dramatically negative physical impact on your well-being; however, the body responds to repair the damage almost immediately upon quitting,” said Lucy DelSarto, Health and Wellness coach at TVH. “Kicking the habit is hard, that is why we are raising awareness and offering several different educational opportunities to help encourage our employees to live a healthy lifestyle.” In the week leading up to the Great American Smokeout, TVH hosted a variety of classes that gave employees helpful information on how to not only quit smoking but to stay healthy. These classes covered topics such as: How to develop healthy habits, Hypnotism and Acupuncture. TVH’s onsite health clinic also provided information on a variety of smoking cessation aids. www.tvh.com

Intelligrated announces IntelliGen palletizing software for robotic operations Intelligrated®, a North American-based automated material handling solutions provider, announces its IntelliGen™ palletizing software that allows operations to easily adjust pallet load configuration without the need for extra programming or cumbersome integration. Designed for robotic palletizing operations that handle a variety of product types and sizes, the new software allows operators to simply adjust load patterns and stacking characteristics based on changing product dimensions and other variables, offering improved flexibility, speed and load integrity. The IntelliGen software comes integrated with the robotic cell’s standard control system and allows facility operations personnel to select user-defined load configurations, greatly simplifying product changeovers. www.intelligrated.com

LiftWise introduces high capacity, remotecontrolled tire handler LiftWise has introduced the new SideWinder™, a hydraulic tire handler designed to assist with moving and mounting larger tires. The SideWinder has a capacity for tires with diameters from 58 to 75 inches and up to 2,200 pounds, making it ideal for everything from tractors and agriculture equipment, to construction equipment and material handlers. Designed to work with an overhead crane or lift, the SideWinder assists with moving, mounting and handling tires directly from a horizontal position. This reduces the need for numerous tire racks, effectively increasing valuable floor space. Additionally, one person can remotely operate the SideWinder, allowing him or her to safely and precisely mount a tire, thus freeing up manpower for other tasks. The SideWinder can lift a tire from a flat position and rotate it continuously to vertical for installation. It is battery powered, and comes equipped with a convenient, built-in charger. Other features include a self-locking gearbox, as well as hydraulic cylinders with holding valves. www.diversifiedproduct.com

UniCarriers Americas offers new stability casters option for WLX series pallet trucks UniCarriers Americas Corporation (UCA) now offers a poly-block stability casters option for its WLX series pallet trucks. The new stability casters help provide additional balance when handling taller or off-center loads for steadier operation and more confident load handling. Features for the new stability casters option include: Swivel bearings designed for high strength, longer wear and impact resistance. Tapered roller bearings absorb vertical and horizontal forces to provide smooth swivel action and superior durability. A polyurethane spring block provides softened cushioning for more comfortable operation over small debris or floor variations, with cushioning stiffness increasing in response to higher caster deflection or a higher speed turn. www.unicarriersamericas.com

Merge, divert and align products smoothly with new conveyor from Dorner The new 3200 Series conveyor with Intralox Activated Roller Belt™ (ARB) Technology is perfect for moving boxes and packages in merging, diverting and aligning applications. ARB Technology uses low and high friction angled rollers within the belt to help smoothly guide and align items of all sizes. This conveyor technology minimizes floor space, increases system reliability, eliminates costly system controls, provides a safer work environment, and can handle products as small as 6” x 6”. www.dornerconveyors.com
