DECKING BEAM LIFTS ITSELF TO CEILING HEIGHT
Released and adjusted by hand, the Doleco decking beam can be released with a common dock hook or fifth wheel puller. Once released, the Level Deck self-leveling decking beam can be moved asymmetrically and up and down its tracks. After one side is at the desired set height, the opposite side can be slid up or down and automatically self-levels, locking itself into horizontal position. Each die-cast nickel aluminum foot assembly is equipped with a spring-assist mechanism that counterbalances the beam’s weight. As either side of the beam is pulled down, its spring is loaded. If the spring is released, the beam automatically travels to its ceiling height storage position. Doleco USA | doleco-usa.com

AIR COMPRESSORS ELIMINATE RISK OF SYSTEM OR PRODUCT CONTAMINATION
Rogers air compressors provide ISO 8573-1, Quality Class Zero air for oil aerosol, liquid oil, and oil vapor. The KNW Series rotary screw compressors include an independent motordriven oil pump for pre-lubrication of gears and bearings, solid-state reduced voltage motor starting, PTFE-type coating on the rotors, and compression housing internals for corrosion prevention. The compression elements have a cooling jacket incorporated into the castings and non-wearing, free-floating air seals. A labyrinth seal with two vents to the atmosphere prevents oil from migrating into the compression area. Rogers Machinery | rogers-machinery.com

FORKLIFT IMPROVES SAFETY IN WAREHOUSES AND FACILITIES
The Otto forklift navigates tra c and obstacles to deliver materials to the right place, at the right time. The Lifter forklift has autonomy software that makes intelligent, real-time decisions for dynamic path planning, lane tending, pallet detection, and stretchwrap piercing. The unit determines whether a pallet is properly seated, centered, or skewed, and if stretchwrap is covering entry notches. The forklift also matches its speed to the environment, speeding up when safe to do so and slowing down accordingly. It has a 2,640-lb payload capacity; 3.4-mph travel speed; and 106-in. (30-in. in autonomous mode) reach height. Otto Motors | ottomotors.com
