The Chock Liner has been introduced by Nylacast with its patented low friction technology supporting safe and reliable moorings of vessels of all types and purpose. The transition from steel wire rope to fibre rope is widespread across industry.  Fibre rope has a good strength to weight ratio and ease of handling, resulting in much lower risk of injury.

A CCTV camera system designed for surveying sewers has been put to a new use - investigating concerns about a pipe blockage at a gas plant. Drainage engineers based at the Lanes Group depot in Aberdeen were called in to survey the gas pipe at the biogas generation plant near Coupar Angus, in Perth and Kinross.

In 2001, an entire SGT factory was fitted out after construction with VERLINDE handling and lifting components, as the designers shipped VERLINDE equipment already used in its Rezé plant directly from France. Today the partnership is still going strong.

To avoid machine downtime, it is important to use robust and long lasting machine elements. Here, self-lubricating and maintenance free high performance plastics, such as from igus, show their advantages. Using industrial forklifts as an example, the areas where motion plastics from igus can be used are highlighted. 

A revolutionary technology, which originates in Italy, has been incorporated into the new cable car system that will carry visitors and supporters to the FIFA 2018 World Cup final stadium. And it is all thanks to Nidec Industrial Solutions (NIS) that Italy regains a prominent position at the 2018 World Cup. The company has, in fact, played a key role in the development of Moscow’s new cable car system that connects two focal points in the Russian capital - the scenic viewpoint at Moscow State University, located on Sparrow Hills (also known as ‘Vorobyovy Gory’), and the Luzhniki Stadium, the sports complex where the 2018 World Cup Final is due to be played.

With increased demand for ‘connected’ operations, Hyster Europe is supporting applications throughout the logistics chain with innovative 360° technology solutions.

Since incomes for operating companies and government authorities in the water industry are either fixed or hard to change, reducing costs is a strong driving force behind any investment.

 Aiming to significantly improve water service levels, reducing leaks and lowering energy usage, Aquatoria is delivering balanced water pressure across urban distribution networks.

Not many events typify British summertime like Wimbledon. World-class tennis players, strawberries, cream and fans from all over the world make the venue their home for two weeks – but crucially, what about the weather? Thankfully, a spot of rain won’t be halting proceedings on No.1 Court this year, as Barnshaws Section Benders has supplied steel fabrications to support an all-new retractable stadium roof.
