West Point Rack’s customer first philosophy pays off by Mary Glindinning
Twelve years ago, Terry Sroka and Reva Bily “decided to leave the large corporate world of decisions by committee, meeting after meeting and burdensome policies,” they said. The two founded West Point Rack, a Nebraska company that sells exclusively to material handling dealers. “West Point Rack is a smaller company with a highly dedicated staff. This allows us to ‘turn on a dime,’ respond quickly and to innovate whenever the opportunity presents itself,” said Sroka, chief executive officer. “I don’t want to be one of the biggest rack companies out there, just one of the better ones. Our primary goal is to support our dealers, satisfy their customers, earn trust and be the ‘Vendor of Choice’ for rack products and racking systems.” Company president Bily said if an end-user calls, they refer them to a dealer. “There is nothing wrong with selling direct to the end user, but you don’t do both,” Sroka said. “Draw the ‘line’ and stay on one side or the other. In order to build a good relationship with a dealer and to have him trust you, it is necessary that he really believes that you will not go around him and make the sale direct. Dealers are independent businesses that spend time and money to build up a customer base and the last thing they want to see is a manufacturer go around them and sell to one of their prospects who is shopping price.” Bily grew up on a farm and worked in a packing house and electrical sales before she joined the material handling industry. Customer service is the core of what she does, and the key to growth, she said. Customers want prices and delivery quickly. She tries to get back to a customer with a standard quote in 15 minutes, she said.
The relationship with dealers is built on competitive prices, service and standing behind the product, Sroka said. “If product issues do arise, we address those issues immediately with the goal of creating satisfaction for both our dealer and their customer,” he said. The company sells cantilever racks in light, intermediate, heavy and extra heavy duty configurations, structural pallet racks in galvanized or painted steel and portable stacking racks made to order. “I always look for things when we do specials,” Sroka said. “Does it have any potential of becoming a standard product? That is how we developed a lot of our standard products.” Specialty products made by West Point Rack include bar cradle trucks, drum racks and handcarts. West Point Rack has recently added new products to its line of racks. Included is a new line of reel racks, ranging in height from eight to 12 feet. Vertical racks, which will hold material from 21 inches to 12 feet, feature six-inch deep arms with three shelves made of 14-guage steel. U-Racks, which come with an orange paint finish, can be stacked up to four units high to save space. “The future looks very positive for West Point Rack,” Sroka said. “Our product base is expanding as is our market penetration. We will continue with the business model and plan that has taken us to this point and will continue to move us forward.”

Products by Hamilton Hamilton crushes downtime with new no–maintenance casters
mounting plate and carries up to 3000 lbs. per caster making this the highest rated maintenance-free kingpinless caster in its class. • The ZFFM Series rounds out the Spinfinity lineup and offers 3" wide wheels with the same 4 ½" x 6 ¼" mounting plate and is rated up to 3200 lbs. per caster. See full product specs: HamiltonCaster. com/Spinfinity
New 20 Ton Industrial Trailers Pre-Engineered for Quick Turnaround Hamilton Caster is proud to introduce Spinfinity™ – a new line of heavy duty maintenance-free 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 CNCmachined 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.” The benefits of the Spinfinity casters are also in direct alignment with Hamilton’s own lean principles employed throughout their manufacturing operations. “With Spinfinity casters now available, time spent maintaining casters is actually waste”, remarked Dave Lippert, Hamilton’s President. Like all Hamilton forged steel casters, the new Spinfinity Maintenance-Free casters are manufactured in Hamilton, Ohio USA and stocked for PRONTO® Same Day or Next Day Shipment. The Spinfinity lineup is offered in three popular heavy duty series: • The ZFWH Series features 2" wide wheels, the industry’s most popular 4" x 5" mounting plate, and is rated up to 2500 lbs. per caster. • The ZFHS Series also features 2" wide wheels but with a larger 4 ½" x 6 ¼"
wheels are equipped with precision tapered roller bearings and ride on 1-1/2 inch stressproof axles. Finally, a major wear point on any towed trailer is the towing loop. The Hercules features a forged steel loop designed for handling the extreme loads and resistant to wear during years of use.
Hamilton’s electric trailer spins through narrow factory maze
…Hamilton’s new line of Hercules trailers is available to ship in 4-5 weeks.
September 6th, 2016: Hamilton is proud to announce Hercules: the new line of preengineered super duty industrial trailers. The new Hercules line has a load capacity range of 20,000–40,000 lbs. per trailer and is pre-engineered for quick turnaround. While most high capacity industrial trailers have a minimum leadtime of 7-8 weeks, the Hercules line is available to ship in an industry-leading leadtime of 4-5 weeks. The Hercules line are fifth-wheel-steer type with a total of ten standard deck sizes starting at 4 feet wide by 8 feet long and ranging up to 5 feet wide by a massive 24 feet long. The series is also grouped in 20K, 25K, 30K, 35K, and 40K load capacities designed for severe loading and power towing conditions. Common applications for the Hercules are hauling tooling, dies, molds, structural steel bars, rolls, cylinders, and plate steel efficiently throughout the plant. Each Hercules deck is constructed of ¼ inch plate steel with structural steel channel ranging from 5 inch on the 20K load trailer to 12 inch on the 40K version. The fifth wheel steering consists of ¾ inch steel plates sandwiching a 24-inch diameter antifriction disc rotating on a 2-inch kingpin providing years of trouble-free service with very low turning resistance. Design engineers selected heavy duty presson polyurethane wheels ranging from 14” diameter on the 20K load trailers up to 22” diameter on the 40K load trailers. All
With Hamilton’s trailer, workers now load the dies in the direction of the trailer for transport, which opens up more than a foot of space on both sides of the trailer. When the trailer reaches the production facility via a tugger – which also serves as its power supply – the die rotates 90 degrees before being unloaded. A single rotation takes roughly 2.5 minutes, with a full 360-degree turn clocking in at 10 minutes. This may seem like forever in manufacturing, but a slow and steady turn helps keep workers safe, and protects the equipment. For added durability, our engineers spec’d and installed ball transfer units to surround the slew drive to prevent damage if the load isn’t perfectly centered. • All steel, double fifth-wheel steer trailer • Capacity: 30,000 lbs. • Size: 60" side by 90" long by 30" deck height • Structural steel frame with steel plate welded over structural steel frame • 60" wide by 90" long steel turntable with 6" tall by 1" thick bolt-on lip • Loop-type towing tongue at both ends with lock outs engaged by raising tongue • Running gear: eight dual-mounted, press-on polyurethane wheels with tapered roller bearings • Color: safety/international orange • Slewing drive powered by 24-volt DC electric motor

Improve Productivity of Order Picking Lifts with a PalletPal Order Picker Load Leveling Attachment ®
The PalletPal® Order Picker Load Leveler attaches to any standard order picking lift to make the job of order picking or stock replenishing faster, safer and easier. Order picking on the ground or order picking up in a high bay both involve lots of wasteful and often dangerous motions. The PalletPal Order Picker minimizes many of these motions, and when picking above the ground, the integrated turntable further enhances the worker’s stability and balance. Built on the proven design of PalletPal Level Loaders, the PalletPal Order Picker uses a calibrated spring mechanism to automatically adjust the height of a load as boxes are added or removed. Keeping the top layer at a comfortable, convenient working height allows employees to load items with no bending, stretching or awkward posture. A built-in turntable allows operators to spin the load so they never have to reach across the pallet. The PalletPal Order Picker’s universal design fits on all brands of order pickers. It mounts quickly and easily with no tools. • Works with all standard order picker lifts • Automatic spring leveling • Integrated turntable platform • No power required • Attaches in seconds - no tools needed • Works with loads from 400 - 2000 lbs. • Non-skid platform

Camso’s new and improved press-on tires
Evolving forklift industry calls for a new approach The forklift has been around for more than 100 years. These material movers have evolved from basic single-purpose vehicles into sophisticated working machines capable of serving a growing range of industries and applications.
With the development of larger models sometimes combined with active stability systems and more specialized attachments, forklifts are now expected to carry heavier loads, while moving faster and lifting higher than ever before.
More weight and more speed translate into more stress on the tires, wheels and axle. Increased travel time, distance and duty cycles means more heat build-up with less cooling time between jobs. When operating in high intensity applications, tires are pushed beyond their limits. The result: thermal failure leading to unscheduled downtime. Customers want maximum productivity from their machines
Fleet managers expect maximum productivity and have no tolerance for downtime. Tires are a big part of this equation. Think about all the variables.
Press-on tires are the technology of choice to handle high loads with great stability. They are most likely to experience extreme load conditions when compared to other tire technologies. As the world largest manufacturer of press-on tires, it’s our job to understand the unique mobility needs of any forklift and its application intensity requirements. Why? So we can engineer the right tire.
Solideal PON 775 by Camso
Solideal PON 550 and 555 by Camso
That’s where the new Solideal PON 775 comes into play. This new press-on tire raises the bar and is designed for high intensity applications where other pressons quickly fail. It’s engineered to provide the best performance in terms of heat resistance, energy efficiency and long-lasting life. • 90% better resistance to internal heat build-up • 45% longer tire life due to abrasion-resistant tread compound • 70% better energy efficiency due to low-rolling resistance rubber compounds • Reduced ground pressure due to wide and flat footprint • Minimized stress on the tire edges thanks to unique sidewall design
Long seen as the industry benchmark, our Solideal Magnum Smooth and Traction (SM/TR), newly named Solideal PON 555 and PON 550, are brought to the next level. Some key performance improvements have been made to the rubber compound to optimize performance for medium intensity applications:
Downtime is not an option
• 45% longer tire life • 6% better resistance to internal heat build-up • 8% improvement on energy efficiency
• Indicates when to replace your tire due to wear indicator and safety line
Together, the new Solideal PON 775 and the revamped Solideal PON 555 and 550 were designed as a series to provide the maximum lifespan for an array of different application intensities to ensure we provide customers with the lowest operating cost solution on their tire selection.

LIUGONG FORKLIFTS
LiuGong North America has released a new line of forklifts designed specifically for the U.S and Canadian markets. The new 3-Series 2020-35G/H forklifts come standard with premium features and increased capabilities that make them among the most durable, ergonomic and modern lift truck systems available in North America.
Standard 3-Series features include a full-suspension seat, a rearview mirror, a swingout dropdown LPG tank bracket, backup alarm, rear grab handle with horn button, operator password login and a full LED light package of front floods, rear combination lights and turn signals. Operators have a choice of performance modes ‒ standard, economy or high performance ‒ based on the needs of their application. Economy mode reduces fuel consumption for lower operating cost. High performance mode maximizes productivity in high throughput applications. The LiuGong 3-Series forklifts feature a three-fluid cooling system optimized for temperatures up to 113 degrees F. The system cools engine, transmission and hydraulic fluids – a unique feature for a forklift in the 4,000- to 7,000-pound-capacity class. LiuGong has achieved 70 percent parts commonality across the forklift range by mounting the steer axle to the counterweight instead of the frame. This design shares the same chassis between the different capacity models in the
Material Handling Wholesaler—Still the one the industry TRUSTS
Modern Ergonomic Durable Well supported
family while changing only the mast, tires and counterweights. Higher parts commonality reduces the number of parts needed, saving money and boosting productivity through increased uptime. Ken Biediger, President of LiuGong North America Forklift Division, said customers will notice right away the 3-series 2020-35G/H models are in a class of their own. “The 3-Series forklifts are a premium, full-featured product offering exceptional value. Many features that other manufacturers charge hundreds if not thousands of dollars for as add-ons come standard on our new LiuGong models.” More information about the LiuGong North America 3-Series forklifts can be found online at www.liugongna.com or by contacting a local LiuGong dealer.
The LiuGong 3-Series is an all new, clean-sheet design built specifically to meet the expectations of the North American market. It represents the benchmark of all new LiuGong forklift models to come, featuring our new design philosopy and “LiuGong DNA” going forward.
