Safely pushing ahead with space savings October 1st 2007 A Nu-Star Super Pusher
joins two Power Pushers
already in use at the
Dungannon site of
Powerscreen International.
John McGrane, lean
manufacturing promotion
officer, explains "During the
manufacturing process,
6500kg screen box
assemblies were made and
brought to final assembly
using overhead gantry
cranes. By assembling the
screen boxes on carrier
bogies, overhead cranes
were eliminated, and by
using a Nu-Star Super
Pusher to move the carrier
bogies around the
manufacturing area, it has
been possible to consolidate
screen box production."
The Super Pusher is easily
manoeuvred and requires
much less aisle way and
turning circle space than
fork lifts or full sized ride-on
tugs. More articles from Nu-Star Material Handling Ltd: |
