ROBUSTO fork lift pallet jacks - NEWS
Special fork lift pallet jack catering specifically to the fishery industry
The unique feature of the new special ROBUSTO fork lift pallet jack is that its lifting forks were developed specifically to engage the standardized plastic crates used in the fishery industry.
Crates positioned in rows can be effortlessly engaged and transported thanks to the newly developed pick-up forks.
Its compact dimensions allow the fork lift pallet jack to be used where space is at a premium – as is often the case in factory ships operating at sea.
The ROBUSTO special fork lift pallet jack for the fishery industry is made of stainless steel and completely rustproof – ideal qualifications for this type of application. The quick-acting hydraulic system allows loads to be lifted with just 2-3 strokes of the tiller. The load bearing capacity of the pallet jack is around 0,5 tons.
ROBUSTO fork lift pallet jack 2300 MAXI-LIFT with increased lifting height
To mark 25 years of its successful ROBUSTO 2300 model, Schneider has come up with a number of exciting innovations: The existing series has been extended to include a new lift variant. The ROBUSTO MAXI-LIFT offers a total lifting height of 290 – 300 mm (compared to a lifting height of 190 mm possible with existing models).With this new development, the ROBUSTO 2300 MAXI-LIFT provides the ideal answer for applications requiring drive-under heights of more than 180 mm which could previously only be dealt with using a fork lift truck. The quick-acting hydraulic system allows the load to be lifted effortlessly in few pumping movements and guarantees to reduce the force needed to lift a load by around 20%.
Aluminium as a packaging material | All about aluminium sequel 9
The properties of aluminium make it particularly suitable for use as a packaging material, and it has become a familiar and established part of our everyday lives. It is not only light in weight and resistant to corrosion, it is also able to resist extremes of temperature.
Moreover, it
- is physiologically unharmful and therefore suitable for use with foods
- is neutral in taste
- is hygienic
- provides long-term stability
- is watertight
- and retains its value as a raw material with 100% recycling capability
Even with a thickness of just 1/100 of a millimetre, aluminium foil is able to protect food, medicines etc. against the penetration of dirt, germs and light. Aluminium packaging covers a wide spectrum from aluminium foil (frequently used in a composite with other materials), drinks cans and bottle tops to box pallets or complex structured returnable packaging of the type made by Schneider Leichtbau for sensitive technical devices. This type of packaging is highly economical. Some types of packaging, however – most of these being a blend of several different materials – are highly questionable from the ecological point of view. Firstly, many types of packaging (such as tubes) are never returned for recycling, and secondly separation into re-usable base materials can be highly labour intensive.
*Example: Drinks cans often comprise several material alloys as well as being printed on.
