Help with pushing and pulling
June 1st 2007 The Denby Pottery Company
has recently taken delivery
of two Nu-Star Power
Pushers at its
manufacturing facility in
Derbyshire. The Power
Pushers are used to push
and pull pots to and from
the kilns and also
manoeuvre loaded kiln cars
in and out of the kilns
themselves. Richard Brooke,
Derby's kiln technician,
contacted Nu-Star in
November 2006 as part of
an initiative to reduce the
manual handling risks
associated with moving
heavy plant and work
trolleys around the site.
After an on-site
demonstration, Richard
decided the versatile
Steering Arm attachment on
the Power Pusher enabled
the requisite tasks to be
achieved efficiently and
safely. "Nu-Star were very
helpful and professional in
tailoring the Pushers to our
exact requirements," says
Richard Brooke.
"The new equipment has
helped us make significant
progress towards our health
and safety targets. We have
also gained an improvement
in control given the smooth
nature of the Pusher's drive.
"We are seeing less
damage to pots in transit
around the factory." More articles from Nu-Star Material Handling Ltd: |
