TheTensionhaseased! Are we back on track? Container handling has always been a business more closely related to the swing of the world-econo-mics-pendulum. Is the crisis gone or are we amidst two down-turns – we do believe not, but the container handling business has to examine careful the near future. Ports are on the rise, as we discussed with Thomas Eckelmann, Chairman of the Euro-gate Group Management Board. For instance this terminal ope-rator group recorded a 5.2 per cent increase in its pan-European container handling volume for 2010. The group handled 600,000 TEUs more than in the previous year, bringing the total to 12.6 million TEUs. But price competition between terminals is tough as tough can be. So this is one of the reasons we did noct only focus on the newest handlers and trucks, but also on D-GPS for outdoor poisoning of trucks – get to know were your stuff is a terminal operator told me – with fuel prices are constantly on the rise, monitor the daily travel profile of every machine on the terminal – that could be one of the future keys to success. The business is tough and European competitors have to follow the market rules. What is the learning pint on all that: Utilize your equipment as good as you can and look closely on all those de-vices that may help you o improve the efficiency of the terminal

We are glad to share our knowledge with you and are happy to have a chat with all our readers at the upcoming fairs in Hanno-ver and Munich – by the way: mark up your diary: April 2012 will see something new in Hamburg – and we will be part of it.

STW: What is the future of this cost inten-sive business at TVH, will it become as pro-minent in the container business as TVH is in the every-day-forklift business?

K.B.: With regard to service levels @ TVH, it is c ertainly our goal to achieve the sa-me levels. Keeping in mind that the mar-ket potential for “PE” is much smaller than the every-day-forklift business (both in numbers and potential customers), “PE” will always be a smaller profit centre wi-thin TVH. But then again, this will allow

“PE” to react quicker to changes or specific demands from customers. The biggest benefit for our customers is that they can use existing structures, system, know-ledge and experience of more then 40 years of TVH, in order to achieve the ma-ximum of synergies for our customers. Since the start of “PE” as separate depart-ment at the end of 2009, growth in busi-ness is on target, both in increase of tur-nover and number of customers.

customers. Remember that TVH is surve-ying quality on all its parts, on the com-plete range of machines, regardless the expectations of our “PE” customers. Up-Time and total cost of ownership are very important in this particular industry, so we do have to meet the same standards as the existing suppliers to our customers.

STW: On which brands and on which parts do you specialize?

K.B.:As per normal TVH standard, it is TVH’s mission to cover the complete ran-ge of brands and parts for “PE” equip-ment, of which our customers’ fleet con-sist of.

STW: Gearboxes, engines and axles for con-tainer handling equipment are pretty lar-ge and heavy how do you organize logisti-cs which is, as we believe, much different from your daily business?

K.B.:In reality, the basics on logistics are the same, so that is no problem for TVH. Although “PE” focus is quite new, some heavy equipment brands / parts already are included in TVH business since many years, and TVH is also used dealing with heavy or voluminous items like attach-ments, chargers, masts, forks, tyres, etc... So the experience is present @ TVH and the only possible restriction could be the usage of “express deliveries” on certain parts, but then again this is applicable on particular parts supplied by TVH for many years.

STW: Where do you source the parts, are they refurbished from used machinery or where to get them instead?

K.B.:Since TVH policy is to supply “quality parts”, all parts are new, as per customers’ request. So this means TVH is staying with the best resources available in the market. Only certain parts are refurbis-hed and then only on special request by the customer.

STW: Who is your prime partner for these services, terminal operators or indepen-dent repair companies?

K.B.: It depends on region and set-up of operation within the terminals, but both groups are prime partners for TVH in this industry.

The Waregem-based Bel-gian company TVH has been founded 1969 by Paul Thermote and Paul Vanhalst and is now the world‘s largest brand-independent supplier

of forklift parts. They started with the im-port of used equipment from a Japanese production. Other activities include tra-ding of industrial trucks (Doosan, Lafis, ICEM, Dambach) in Belgium and Luxem-bourg, the sale of used trucks (1,500 units always in stock) and the rental of aerial work platforms. Some 500 million EUR is the annual turnover – which is quite a sum. 80% of the turnover is done with spare parts. STAPLERWORLD-CONTAINER met Kristof Bolle, Allied Parts & Accesso-ries Business Development Manager. Three years ago TVH started to cope with spare parts for large forklifts and reach-stackers. A good reason to go into more details.

STW: When did TVH decide to enter expen-sive spare parts for Containerhandling equipment?

K.B.: TVH is already active in heavy ma-chines for more than 10 years. About 2 years ago, the decision was taken to cre-ate a dedicated team for what we call

“Port Equipment (PE)”, in order to focus on container handling equipment, after see-ing increase in number of inquiries for this kind of equipment & also due to spe-cial requests of customers.

STW: From our understanding most custo-mers rely on their brands and their service-people, what makes you believe terminal operators will buy spare parts at another source?

K.B.: This is correct and that is also why TVH follows the “quality” request from

tainers from or below ground level wit-hout a special boom extension. This fea-ture offers further advantages when working with barges and river vessels.

Because of the curve-shaped boom com-pay spokesmen say servicing and mainte-nance are easier as no special lowering of the boom is needed for the regular ser-vice of the spreader as this can easily be accessed from ground level.

Liebherr is famous for the development and use of hydrostatic transmissions in many of its products and the LRS 645 reachstacker is no exception. Advanced technologies have been incorporated in the machine such as “drive-by-wire” and

“steer-by-wire”, replacing any type of ac-celerator or clutch pedals thereby provi-ding the operator with a high degree comfort during operation together with reduced fatigue throughout a work shift. The use of a hydrostatic transmission pro-vides the operator with a responsive and smooth working cycle, fast acceleration and a high efficiency factor.

Another advantage is the location of the engine. In conventional reachstackers the engine and transmission powerpack can only be installed in the centre of the ma-chine due to a centrally located differenti-

Liebherr has been involved in the mari-time field for decades manufacturing and supplying this industry with mobile harbour cranes, ship-to-shore cranes, rubber-tyred and rail-mounted gantries. However, in 2004 the company had de-veloped a reachstacker rounding off its impressive port equipment range.

Reachstackers are one of the most flexi-ble rehandling machines used in contai-ner terminals or dockyard operations. When Liebherr did decide to enter the reachstacker market with the LRS 645, there already was a huge field of ma-nufacturers offering similar telescopic models for container and intermodal handling.

The family owned company is well known for manufacturing quality products. To compete with other manufacturers the company’s engineers had to design and incorporate some innovative and techni-cally sophisticated characteristics which would allow the machine to compete fa-vourably against other reachstackers in a highly competitive market dominated by Scandinavian and Italian manufacturers

It may not conform to the standard type of telescopic materials handling ma-chines but the Liebherr reachstacker cer-

tainly ranks as one of the more unusual with a distinctive design and other ground breaking features which certainly sets it apart from competitors’ machines offering similar capacities.

One of the LRS645 major features and the most striking is the machine’s unique curve-shaped telescopic boom which of-fers outstanding handling capabilities.

With a maximum operating weight of 75.3t and powered by a Liebherr D936 L (EURO IIIb) diesel engine with a power output of 270 kW at 2000 rpm, the ma-chine is capable of lifting containers as heavy as 45 metric tonnes to a height of just under 16.000 mm equating to six containers high in the first or front row. In four-high by three-deep stacks, the ma-chine can remove the top container in the second row from either side without any necessary repositioning of the top contai-ner in the front row. Similarly, with three-high by three-wide block stacks the reachstacker operator is able to remove the top container in the third row wit-hout moving any of the boxes in the first or second rows.

Moreover, the decision to have a curved boom instead of a straight boom concept allows the loading and unloading of con-

the unique possibility of handling logs until 6 metres below quay. The grab can be rotated through 360° as well as pivo-ting forwards, backwards and sidwards.The LRS 645 LH made its operational de-but for Szepaniak, a wood handling speci-alist operating paper and saw mills in Fin-land. A further rental contract was signed with Zellstoff Stendal GmbH, the largest manufacturer of kraft pulp in Central Eu-rope

Functional machine design, safety and well-planned ergonomics

Like all machines manufactured by this supplier, the new Log Handler has a step less individual hydrostatic drive system, which achieves impressive fuel savings. All the materials used in the LRS LH have passed long-term tests to ensure that th-ey match up to exacting standards even in the toughest conditions. Liebherr com-ponents and assemblies desi-gned and manufactured in-house, including the LRS LH’s multi-circuit hydraulics and the diesel engine, are precisely sui-ted to the machine’s needs; th-ey ensure extended working life and a high level of economy. Ergonomics also received spe-cial attention when developing LRS 645 LH. All parts of the ma-chine can be reached easily

and safely and the cab sets new stan-dards in size and operating convenience. All the controls are located within the operator’s direct action radius. The driver’s cabin is elevated to provide best possible view and the layout is retrofitted as standard with a full protective grille. Further safety designs include a roll bar at the boom, drive wagon protection and a log pusher at the front.The mature concept and proven quality give a benchmark for reliability. The Log Handler is particularly well-suited for work such as the loading and unloading of trucks or railway wagons, sorting in-stallations and stacking.Innovative technology and low operating costs make the machines especially cost-effective. The Liehberr LRS 645 Log Hand-ler is ideal when the task calls for mobility, frequent manoeuvrability and high per-formance.

al gear. But by using hydrostatic transmis-sion the powerpack does not need to be installed in any particular place in the Liebherr machine. As a result, the entire powerpack has been positioned to the right-hand side of the giving easy access to all essential points for servicing and maintenance.

There is no doubt that this Liebherr ma-chine has set a new standard in reachsta-cker design with constant development on the concept being carried on at the company’s manufacturing facility at Ro-stock in Northern Germany.

In 2011 the LRS645 underwent major changes to become a log handler – the LRS 645 LH (LH = Log Handler).

The “Log Handler” format has been deve-loped especially for operations in the tim-ber handling sector. Designed to optimize wood yard storage space and wood yard maintenance costs, The LRS LH is capable of handling logs for pulp and paper mills, chipboard or saw mills and wood termi-nals. Log Handlers have a maximum lif-ting capacity of 30 metric tonnes (at an outreach of up to 5.5 m). A uniquely cur-ve-shaped telescopic boom offers unrival-led reach up to 10 metres and up to a height of 12 metres. A second key advan-tage is the possibility of handling logs from below ground level.

Among the rest, in addition belong the sound-isolated driver’s cabs with big window surfaces, the indivi-dually adjustable sprung seat, the adjustable armrest with integrated joystick to the control of the telescope inter-preter and the teleskopsprea-ders as well as the digital display for the permanent su-pervision of the most impor-tant company functions. A container counter informs about the heave movements

and registers at the same time the weight of the containers. Because the reach sta-cker take a central position within the intralogistic and maximum availability is re-quired, they own optionally a communication modem to the easy remote monitoring. In this manner drivers and customer service assemblers have access to all company data on a real-time basis. If requested the supervision system in the sturgeon case informs the responsible cu-stomer service by SMS. Ano-ther operational area for re-ach stacker comes up in industrial enterprise if, for

Reach stackers are used primarily for con-tainer transport. In sea and river ports, th-ey are the link between the gantry cranes and van carriers, freight stations and loa-ding onto trucks or railroad cars. Here th-ey often work hand in hand with smaller trucks, such as electric forklifts, that load and unload container and transport the goods between warehouses and contai-ners. As a complete provider of trucks Lin-de Material Handling (MH) also offers re-ach stacker in its own production range. This fact should make the manufacturer for his customers more attractive. For the operators of large cargo handling termi-nals do more often demand that both come should come from one source: the fleet consisting of different vehicle types as well as the services.

Continuous improvements flow in onto the model care. This includes the com-pany‘s advanced controls, a larger display, a new staircase to the cabin and a more compact counterweight. To the technolo-gical specific features of its reach stacker the manufacturer counts the engine technology which generates a high tor-que already with low rev and generates together with the hydraulic arrangement precisely the oleograph or the oil amount which is necessary for the respective use.

The Boxrunner gives large container ter-minal operators a flexible and efficient means of moving containers from ship-to-shore (STS) cranes to the automated stacking cranes (ASCs). The key word here is flexibility. Boxrunner can deal with al-most any requirement during this phase of the operation e.g. boosting STS unloa-ding speed to maximum or handling con-tainers of different ISO sizes. The new car-rier is adapted to handle all ISO container sizes, stacking two-high at high speed. Konecranes designs and manufactures key components in-house. Powered by a diesel-electric (DE) drive and rope hoist system, the new concept is offered as a 50 t twin twenty lift machine and as a 40 t single lift machine that can travel at 30 km/h with a 25 m/min hoist speed. “Box-runner is a technologically advanced ma-

Terminal quayside container unloading operations need to be linked flexibly with yard stacking operations. The new Box-runner straddle carrier from Konecranes might be a potential link between ship-to-shore cranes and automated yard cranes.The concept offers unique container handling performance for two distinct container handling operations:First: Large container terminal operators that are adopting automation technolo-gy for greater efficiency. Second: A potentially diverse range of companies that do not offer container handling as a core business, and yet handle incoming and outgoing materials in containers – often using trucks and trailers or custom-engineered, stationary gantry cranes.

chine that is truly driver-friendly and maintenance-friendly,” says Jost Dämm-gen, Sales Manager, Port Cranes. The Box-runner uses Konecranes’ unique rope and drum hoisting system, a proven technolo-gy from the company’s rubber tired gan-try cranes (RTGs) and rail mounted gantry cranes (RMGs). It also has an electronic-hydraulic system with four-cylinder stee-ring for less tire wear, fewer spare parts, a greaseless gantry and very low mainte-nance. The driver’s cabin is a model of er-gonomic design providing excellent visi-bility. Its simple controls and displays help to ensure safety, accuracy and speed.

“With space in short supply at ports and quays, the Boxrunner is an excellent choice because it can take on several roles, eliminating the need for other con-tainer transport equipment. It is very sta-

thanks to the Variable Geometry Turbo-charger which varies the exhaust gas flow into the turbine wheel. Combining cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) with an improved High Pressure Common Rail (HP-CR) fuel system enables cleaner and more efficient combustion, and effectively con-trols NOx emissions. The fully integrated Cummins Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) al-so reduces particulate emissions by over 90%. Exhaust flows out of the engine and into the Particulate Filter system where it is collected and then oxidized (regenera-ted). Further features of the new engine include the new Cummins Direct Flow air filtration system which optimises filtrati-on efficiency, and the Cummins crankcase ventilation system prevents crankcase emissions escaping from the engine with a highly-efficient coalescing filter. It also eliminates oil mist and tiny oil droplets to maintain clean engine operating condi-tions. With engine and transmission pro-tection systems, Hyster ensures excellent reliability in the most demanding opera-tions everywhere.

also feature the new Tier 4i / Stage IIIB compliant engine. On the larger models, the emissions regulations will be met using the new Cummins QSL9 (up to 370 hp, 276kW) bound for the range from 36 to 48 t, forklift trucks, laden container handlers and reachstackers.

In addition to the Cummins engine tech-nologies, Hyster has introduced new de-velopments:cooling on demand, load sensing hydraulics, RPM management and alternate engine idle speed to help further reduce the total fuel consumption in all applications.

Operators can select either an ECO-eLo “fuel efficiency” or HiP “high performance” mode. The HiP mode is the normal opera-ting mode, whereas the ECO-eLo mode re-duces the maximum engine speed and optimises fuel efficiency. The Cummins engines deliver rapid boost at low engine rpm and then maintain high boost at higher rpm independent of engine speed,

BigTrucksbecomecleanerandevenmoreefficientHyster is reported to be the first materials handling equipment manufacturer to of-fer a full range of Tier 4i/Stage IIIB com-pliant equipment for ports and terminals. New Cummins engines and system tech-nologies now featured across the range above 16 t. Company spokesman says to STAPLERWORLD: “They will deliver low le-vels of exhaust emissions and up to 15% fuel savings”.

From January 2011, container handling equipment and high capacity ‘Big’ forklift trucks will be affected by new emissions regulations, known as “Tier 4i (Interim)”, the EPA regulations for the North Ameri-can market, and “Stage IIIB”, the Europe-an Union equivalent. The regulations affect all diesel powered off-highway equipment available for sale in these markets with power ratings over 173 hp (129 kW). All of Hyster’s forklifts built in Nijmegen will now incorporate the new Cummins QSB 6.7 engine (up to 270 hp, 201kW). The 5-8 high empty container handler (based on the 16-18t forklift) will

in the wheel ends at each side of the axle, allowing the wheels to rotate indepen-dently, greatly helping to minimise tyre scrubbing. Typical conical wear of ‘fixed’ twin-tyre sets, as found on conventional axles, is eliminated using the axle as each wheel can rotate independently, yet still provide full acceleration and braking power.

The new drive axle also provides easier handling and turning manoeuvrability for Hyster empty container handlers. An-toon concludes “Our equipment is highly regarded as tough and dependable with the low total cost of ownership. The new drive axle (option) is a major breakt-hrough for us and the container handling industry.

6-high ReachStackers from HysterAnother breakthrough is the 6-high sta-cking option for higher density container stacking. Reachstacker models can stack 8’6” height containers 6 high, in the 1st container row only. The manufacturer has introduced the 6-high stacker option, now available on certain reachstacker container handling (CH) models. “We ha-ve achieved this by fitting a longer inner boom”.

Other developments include new standard features for all reachsta-

cker models such as a powered sliding cab for optimum visi-

bility. The container

“No other forklift truck manufacturer has access to this technology in Europe at present” explains Antoon Cooijmans, pro-duct manager for big trucks. “We can con-fidently prove that the new axle can si-gnificantly extend tyre life and greatly

reduce costs for ports and termi-nals over the life of a vehi-

cle and contract”.The new axle has

New axle promises big savings for empty container terminalsEmpty container handling operations can now drastically reduce their tyre bills thanks to a new drive axle develpod by Axletech and Hyster. The tyre preserving axle technology is featured on the 5-8 high Empty Container Handlers. The new ‘tyre saving’ drive axle used on Hyster’s latest Empty Container Handlers will si-gnificantly reduce the overall cost of run-ning empty container handling opera-tions. Tyre wear, a major cost for port and terminal operations, can now be reduced by as much as an anticipated factor of 3 for the front (drive axle) tyres, plus 1.5 for the rear (steer axle) tyres.

Dependable Hyster ReachStackersThe entire reachstacker range is available in both container handling (CH) and in-termodal handling (IH) versions and is designed for high density container sta-cking applications, usually up to 5-high and 3-rows deep. The transmission and engine management systems ensure pro-tection against potentially damaging operational procedures – for examp-le, transmission forward to reverse „shif-ting lock-out“ prevents potential tensio-nal stress being applied to the drive train when changing direction. In addition, the engine protection and monitoring sys-tem initially derates the engine power and finally shuts down the engine when a fault is detected.The hydraulic system is highly efficient, and features ‘Two-Speed Lift’ and ‘Power on Demand’ functions so that truck only delivers the required lifting power accor-ding to weight with class leading lifting speeds. Increased capacity handling is available thanks to models featuring sta-bilisers and/or increased wheelbase and there is easy service access to minimise cost and service time.

weight display (also showing distance and height), is also standard allowing the driver to anticipate the truck’s handling capabilities before the stability and weight limit is reached. A 10 km/h driving speed limitation has al-so been introduced for Hyster’s Intermo-dal Handlers when handling a swap-body / trailer by the “bottom-lift” legs. This is due to the new worldwide ISO 3691-1 norm, also included in the Machinery Di-rective 2006/42/CE that stipulates “All container handlers delivered as of 1 Janu-ary 2010, that are equipped with a sprea-der without an activated locking device must have a travel speed limitation of 10 km/h, when carrying a container”. There is no speed limitation when handling a container by twistlocks.The Powered Damping Cylinders (PDC) function which enables drivers to ‘tilt’ the spreader forward and backward over +/- 5 degrees is also now optional on CH mo-dels. There are new options available across the entire Hyster Big Trucks range, which focus on maximising driver com-fort and efficient operation, including an operator presence feature, where the en-gine is shut down when the seat is not occupied, to help reduce fuel consumpti-on (more environment-friendly), a preset travel-speed reduction function, a ‘De-Luxe’ air-suspension seat with heating option, high output air-conditioning and climate control.

cluded because this is what makes the Troisdorf products significantly different and better for the industrial truck custo-mers. As the entire process chain, from steel production via rolling right through to recycling, takes place within the group of companies, the customer always bene-fits from an extremely high degree of reli-ability. Lifting mast profiles are produced in a wide variety of different forms, lengths and qualities. Our regular custo-mers include such companies as Jung-heinrich, Kion, Mitsubishi, Toyota and Nis-san. Our company is particularly proud to be the only overseas supplier to deliver to all Japanese manufacturers of lift trucks (in some cases even as exclusive supplier).Since the 1980s Atlet has had all its lifting masts made by this partner. Since the ear-ly 1990s Mannstaedt of Troisdorf has be-en supplying cut-to-length and mechani-cally processed profiles. Now Mannstaedt supplies the required profiles just-in-time directly to the production line. Following a concept phase, the collaboration led to an individual overall solution, which dif-fers in a number of ways from otherwise common processes and guarantees con-sistently top quality. For example, the pro-file surfaces are descaled directly at the mill trains. The processing of relevant functional surfaces takes place in a com-pletely automatic high-precision drilling / milling centre. Processing is always car-ried out without cooling lubricants, this excludes any impurities. All quality-rele-vant work stages are executed in compli-

nies, of which it constitutes part of the“ core business“. Significant investments have been made. In 2008 the second fully automatic sawing system went into ope-ration, which saw cuts profiles upto 80 kg/m fully automatically with precision of ± 1, or even 0.5 mm. A further com-pletely automatic sawing system is cur-rently in the planning phase and is ex-pected to be finished by 2012 at the latest. In future selected mast profiles will also be tested by laser equipment prior to de-livery to customers. The mast profiles wi-th weights of 10 to 80 kg/m are rolled on two mill trains. The complete product portfolio encompasses special profiles of 2 to 185 kg/m. Dieter Wilden, Sales Direc-tor Guido Glees and Area Sales Manager Peter Himmelstein place great emphasis on organisation, processes and logistics as supporting pillars of the company. “We are able to deliver within five working days“, says Glees during a factory tour.

“Customers have firmly established quan-tity frameworks and call these off in clo-se collaboration with us. With a lot of cu-stomers, however, we have to conduct detailed negotiations concerning just-in-time and just-in-sequence“. Nevertheless the “Manns” also manage to handle the situation when large quantities are orde-red spontaneously. “We adhere to the specifications, process the best steels, over 50% of which meanwhile come from the Georgsmarienhütte steelworks, the price has to be reasonable and, above all, a considerable added value must be in-

The company Mannstaedt, located in Troisdorf, is part of the Georgsmarienhüt-te Group which has a total of 9.000 em-ployees worldwide and generates turno-ver of 3,1 (2010) bn euros.Mannstaedt has the technical capacity to produce 250,000 tons of special profiles per annum making it the world‘s leading producer of hot rolled special profiles ma-de of steel. Strategic investments, reliable logistics and an optimised material flow enabled the company to overcome the economic crisis so successfully that it was working profitably again from the second half of 2009 onwards. Indeed Mannsta-edt even managed to use the economic crisis to significantly expand its market shares. “We have already achieved a great deal but we still have more plans for the future. We intend to build a new logistics centre and no longer store the rolled pro-files along the mill train, as is currently still sometimes the case, we shall set up special parts of the mill for this purpose. Build up stocks, roll, process, dispatch – this is the only way in which we can im-prove our efficiency further. Moreover, the re-inclusion of popular “classics” in the portfolio of products has also contri-buted to a revival in business“, according to Dieter Wilden in a discussion with STAPLERWORLD.Wilden is a pragmatic as well as a dyna-mic personality – he has made it possible for the Troisdorf based company to be-come part of the Steel Production Unit of the Georgsmarienhütte Group of Compa-

gineering and the building supplies in-dustry, but it also performs well in the field of materials handling.The criteria the tyre had to meet were in various criteria much tougher than those set for its predecessor. The highest de-mands were met in terms of even wear and suspension characteristics, without compromising on features such as tilting stability or prevention of stone trapping. Knowing well the enormous strain to which it would later be subjected in its fields of application – transporting loads both in- and outdoors in the wood, in shi-pyards, logistics centres, air- and seaports

– the engineers focused on the customer application when developing the tire.

For extraordinary tasks: The Conti-nental IC40 will be a suitable part-ner. This crossply airfilled industrial tire is said to be proved in most dif-ficult applications under the se-verest conditions. The tire is a well known and recommended pro-duct over years. Despite this, it had to prove its capabilities in an internal benchmark in the last year against competitor tires. The design properties of biasply tires are the following: Protection from sidewall injury and good traction and stationary stability. These properties all have a bea-ring on in-plant applications.The IC 40 Extra Deep is on show at CeMAT. The tire – designed for use under extreme conditions – is fitted on forklifts and all kinds of industrial vehicles. The tire is characterized by a deep, large-blocked tread. The ContiRT20 Performance is a pneuma-tic radial tire that can handle the heaviest of loads reliably at speeds of up to 50 km/h (31 mph). Thanks to its high-trac-tion tread pattern, the tire performs on surfaced and unsurfaced ground. The tire is particularly well-suited for forklifts and other industrial trucks used in heavy en-

Cost per mile and reliability are of utmost importance to the transport industry, and this particularly applies to operators of harbour based container and freight ter-minals. The duties carried out by straddle carriers at these sites are often strenuous, and the tires used there need to provide maximum load capacity and high wear resistance. With its new EV-4R for strad-dle carriers, Goodyear claims to have de-veloped a radial tyre that satisfies both criteria.In developing the EV-4R engineers set the needs of vehicle operators as their guiding principle and paid particular attention to load capacity and operating life. To achieve results in these two areas they developed a new casing construction that is said to enable a greater load and increased stabi-lity, particularly at high speeds. The tire has a load index of 200 – this means a load car-rying capacity of 17.5 t at 25 km/h.The rubber compound used in the new straddle carrier tire is designed with the changeable weather conditions encoun-tered in harbour areas in mind. Further-more, the manufacturer states the tread design offers optimal pressure distributi-on in the tire’s footprint and wear is the-refore evenly distributed. The tire is cur-rently available in size 16.00 R 25.

Who are your cooperation partners for Transfairlog?

The logistic initiative Hamburg has positi-oned itself immediately behind the idea transfairlog and has assured vigorous support. At the moment we carry on con-versations to realise a narrow coopera-tion with the most important media and trade associations in Northern Europe and East Europe. The cooperation part-ners form for us an important compe-tence network which develops constantly and promotes the fair.

How many exhibitors do you expect and how many visitors from which regions do you think the fair will attract?We have rented the halls B5 and B6. For a first event this is quite a lot, but we are confident that we will need this surface. We expect more than 250 exhibitors. As concerns the visitor‘s number, I am also optimistic. Hamburg can be approached by numerous international airports di-rectly. We are expecting international vi-sitors and therefore we for the complete accompanying program a simultaneous translation into English language.

The attention of which target groups and target markets do you want to generate with the exhibition?

The visitors at Transfairlog are professio-nals and executives from the areas of supply chain management, purveyance, production, warehouse, dispatch and IT which after individual products, services and solutions search for their logistic everyday life. They come as a matter of priority from import and export to orien-ted companies of the whole north region and Baltic region.Also with our marketing activities we pull geographically a very big radius. We have the markets of England, the Benelux states, Scandinavia, the Baltic States over Poland up to north Russia in the eye. Our aim is to bring together the market parti-cipants cross-border at a central place and to offer an entire overview.

You are also preparing the accompanying program. What are the main aspects that should be discussed at the seminars or workshops and who are your partners for the specialized program?

The accompanying programme lives on the actuality of the subjects. We are about to enter adequate partnerships wi-th media, trade associations and leading colleges with which we compile the plan-ned knowledge forums.The variety of the exhibition areas of this fair offers subjects for interesting discus-sions and seminars. The transparency and security within complicated chains of deli-very, the responsible contact with energy and commodities, the promotion and sto-rage of danger property and the automa-tion of commissioningtrials, packaging trials and marking trials are subjects which are included in the plan quite firmly.Transfairlog is a communication platform which brings together partners and al-lows a border-covering networking.

The new trade fair for international trans-port and logistics management „trans-fairlog“ is taking place from 12 to 14 June 2012 in Hamburg. Julia Kinzelmann, Exhi-bition Director responsible for the fair and its accompanying programme about the exhibitions premiere, its benefits for companies and the international markets.

Ms Kinzelmann, which are the reasons for establishing a new logistic trade fair in northern Germany?

The strong region of northern Germany and the Baltic region is known as the most important transit heave for Scandi-navia and East Europe and as a leading turntable for Asia trade.We observe this market already very long. In the north of Europe is absent up to now a qualitatively high-quality trade fair which offers to exhibitors as well as visi-tors the possibility to meet in an interna-tional sphere.Now to straighten a new event in Ham-burg with the same high-class claim as realized in the Logimat at Stuttgart, in which the optimisation of international goods traffic as well as logistic expiries stand in the centre, in this we see a chan-ce and challenge at the same time.Many of our present exhibitors have en-couraged us in our plan and also want to be involved in Hamburg. We illustrate wi-th Transfairlog not only the in-plant logi-stics, but the whole transport chain.

„Trans“ and „log“ are evident with the na-ming of the fair. „Fair“ stands for the pro-mise that exhibitors and visitors on this fair receive the quality which they expect from us.

The reefers are regularly pre-trip inspec-tioed (PTI). Here are all the essential func-tions of the unit tested and examined by any visible damage. „We know the equip-ment very well. Often there are defects

on the heat exchanger, cables and the sensors. Because seawater is quite ag-gressive, we often have to replace the coolant tubes”, explains Zoltán Schreiner of the organization. He and his colleagues are trained in the common units of ma-nufactured Carrier Transicold, Thermo King, Mitsubishi (MHI), cool star and Da-ikin and stockpile all the commonly nee-ded spare parts on site. An „extended PTI“ is an action up to four hours which is due all four weeks. In between, a „short PTI“

can be inserted without the insurance co-verage question of the goods is made. The units of the Reefer are designed for long life.Ralf Gerlach explains: „With the acquisiti-on of the container at the sea terminal,

2008 with the container logistics compa-ny. Together services are offered in the terminals Basel, Ludwigshafen, Frankfurt, Koblenz and Duisburg. Reefer specialists are available round-the-clock on seven days in the week. Minor repairs will be fixed immediately and normally the ship can keep its timetable.The cause for the incident, a defective sensor has been identified. The small

component belongs to the standard equipment of the ree-fer specialists. After a half hour the aggre-gate ran again, the re-gular continuation of the journey of the ship was secured. The temperature inside the box was at this ti-me with -19,6 °C in the range of tolerance. Not only expensive phar-maceutical raw mate-rials, such as insulin or blood plasma to travel in refrigerated contai-ners around the world. To sensitive goods are transported out the temperature, are parti-cularly sensitive foods such as fruit, fish and meat. However, printer cartridges and certain

electronics demand constant climatic con-ditions during transport. This means not only chilling the goods, sometimes they must also be warmed. Ralf Gerlach, with the logistics service provider responsible for the quality department: „The proportion of reefer on our transport is on the increase.“ The cooling aggregate for 40 ‚ containers has the performance of about 18 kW. On the sea ship and inland ship the aggre-gate gets his stream of the board supply. The plug connectors are standardized world-wide. Also on the terminals where reefers are put down, power connectors are available. At the terminals Basel, Lud-wigshafen, Frankfurt, Koblenz and Duis-burg, the company maintains in coopera-tion with the Reefer-Organization service stations.

Thus happened on the way from Bonn to Koblenz: during his regular tour the em-ployee of a containership discovered the defective Reefer - a container, which is equipped with a cooling and a warm ag-gregate, that makes it possible, to hold the stowed goods during their whole transport at a certain temperature. The ship was on the way on the way from Rot-terdam to Ludwigshafen for the contai-

ner logistics specialist Contargo. With the cargo were also transported 12 Reefer wi-th pharmaceutical raw materials with de-stination Mannheim. During the control-ling tour two hours before still everything was correct, now flashed the red distur-bance lamp. A quick check showed that the power supply for the Reefer was in order, so the error was suspected in the unit that wasn’t to start any more. To Ko-blenz, the journey should last another two and a half hours. The temperature within the container still amounted - 20

°C and was expected to rise only minimal-ly until reaching the terminal in Koblenz.The arrival was schedules for 20:30. The skipper reported the incident via an emergency number at Smith Holland. The Reefer organization cooperates since

While these reefer wait for continuing the journey with another inland ship, the cooling aggregates are supplied continuously with stream.

The PTI is to ensure the safe operation of the reefer for the next few weeks.

The components of the unit are always exposed to the weather and the corrosive sea air.

we assume the owner is responsible for the goods until the presentation of the container at the end customer. Therefore important for us is the strict monitoring of the reefers.” Onward transportation of Reefers is characterized by multiple changes of transport and numerous lifts. In every phase of the journey the set tem-perature must be guaranteed. Damage caused by product whose temperature was not observed temporarily, can quic-kly reach millions. Hence, a data logger tapes constantly the measured tempera-ture. The logger stores the temperature treads of several years.Georg Fank is a manager of service provi-der at Ludwigshafen. His terminal got the first Reefer service station. He refers to the advantages of the Reefer inspection:

„Our offer makes a lot easier. Because the-re were these services up to now only in the seaports, the ship-owners could carry out no circularities import / export, but had to accept over and over again an one-way empty container transport from or to the seaport for an import or export loa-ding. From now on are less empty trans-ports and everything goes on much fa-ster.“

The reefer service station near Ludwigshafen allows the docking of up to 12 reefer.

In Hamburg, Contargo the container logistics network resident in Duisburg operates its own representative office. It is the workplace of the qualified navigation businessman Kai Hansen. Hansen is salesman, his products are container transports, a for the shipow-ners and forwarding agents important service. Han-sen got an education in Kiel as a shipping clerk and saddled the business administration studies. In 2001 he came to the Combined Container Service, a compa-ny that was to become the container logistics net-

work. His tasks are various; no transport job is like the other. Over and over again it is a matter of fulfilling special wishes, with steadily increasing tem-po. From Hamburg the containers were sent by truck or road to their desti-nations, also with the road service provider NeCoSS to which the network is involved. The transports from and to the west harbours are different, here the inland ship is preferred. A fleet of 22 ships is available for the network on the base of time charter contracts. Hansen sees in the development of the inland ship journey a high potential. His vision for 2030 is the hydrofoils which carry the containers with high speed and less CO2-output than to-day over the Rhine and other inland waterways.

sent out of the system. A dispatcher is not necessary because the truck driver him-self stops at the terminal and logs him-self. Than the shipping documents will be printed automatically. After unloading is finished, the driver returns the pager at the factory gate. The system clears the pager-entry, leading to the re-use of the pager. „Occasionally there are still slee-ping truck drivers,“ smiles Maximilian Bock, senior staff of the computer depart-ment. „If the radio call“ Go 06” (06 is the ramp) the driver has not answered after a given time frame an alarm call „GoGo 06 „ will sound. At least then the drive awakes from his short-term dream and the pro-cess is back on track.

the paging service, e *pager. The company specializes in the production of steel pro-ducts such as wire or rods. The products are distributed worldwide and are used in particular in the automotive industry and their suppliers. Today about 120 trucks travel daily to the extensive production site with eight ramps. This means high demands on logi-stics processes. The onsite delivery sche-dule is organized very differently than si-milar establishments.

Truck drives come from eight nations which causes major communication is-sues. The trucks are not parked off-site, but are spread over several waiting areas within the site. On electronic displays for the driver was omitted due to known bad experiences in other companies: drivers fall asleep or move away from the truck without having visual contact to the dis-play and miss her time slot. By introdu-cing the mobile pager e*Cityruf this situa-tion changed abruptly. Drivers can also be alerted via pager e*safe outside of the site.

30 pagers function as portable display pa-nels. The number of the ramp is to be dis-played on the pager. Simultaneously a loud signal alerts the driver to check the pager display.

This new concepts speeds up yard ma-nagement and eases the flow trucks through the work site. Völklingen con-sistently went a step further. At the facto-ry gate, the driver receives automatically at a terminal a pager. The pager is equip-ped with a RFID chip which ensures the allocation of the pager at every time. This boosts the plant’s flexibility. Calls can be

This company acquired in 1999 from Deutsche Telekom Funkdienst the rights of the pager. This is used as a nationwide radio network, unlike the mobile phone it is significantly less prone to failure, there-fore its mainly used by emergency ser-vices. Now the company is focused on finding new applications. Logistics is one of the key issues, pager services can speed up truck delivery on large sites or contai-ner terminals.

A pager message can be parallel transfer-red up to 200 recipients. Disadvantage: It is a one-way communication, the receiver can not connect with the central radio in conjunction. A practical example illustrates the proce-dure for the truck access control. At the site Völklingen organized Saarstahl the truck traffic on the site with the help of

A pager message may reach up to 200 recipients simultaneously. The network coverage in Germany is over 99%, the reliability is comparable high. Disadvan-tage: It is a one-way communication, the receiver can not connect with the cen-tral radio related.

After typing in the delivery of data, the pager programmed and will be out of a flap, so the rider can take him.

choice of drive components, the working hydraulics, the ergonomic driver‘s cab and the spreaderpartner, but also by the all-round package of true quality inclu-ding the services. Hyster Europe has an-nounced a series of new options on its empty container handling products inclu-ding lay-back mast options. The 5-8 high empty container handlers have seen se-veral new developments in 2010 in additi-on to the well reported tyre saving axle that reduces tyre wear and costs. The new lay-back-mast options on empty contai-ner handler, enables the truck to pass ea-sily underneath overhead obstacles, which are commonly found in port and terminal environments, such as bridges or pipelines, where previously the mast would have to be dismounted. This model provides up to 8 high stacking capability with class leading lift speeds and a rear mounted cab for excellent visibility.On the hooks and side-clamps EC sprea-der option, visibility is also further impro-ved by re-positioning the vertical end pil-lars and the work lights, useful when the spreader is in the 20’ retracted position. There is also a new ISO / European Union ruling that affects empty container hand-lers, unless they are equipped with twist-locks. This means empty container hand-ler versions with hooks and side-clamps will have a conditional travel speed limi-tation of 10 km/h, if the side-clamps are not moved into the ‘closed’ position by the operator.Four versions of hooks and side-clamps are available which means there is now a total of nine empty container engage-ment systems on the 5-8 high empty con-tainer handler. The suspended hooks EC spreader version is no longer available. There are new options available across the entire big trucks range, which focus on maximising driver comfort and effici-ent operation, including an operator pre-sence feature, where the engine is shut down when the seat is not occupied, to help reduce fuel consumption, a preset travel-speed reduction function, a deluxe air-suspension seat with heating option, high output air-conditioning and climate control.With a capacity of 18 to 32 t the seven Lin-de H180 to H320 heavy truck models are

The increased cabin mounted is available in two versi-ons, standard is the Spirit Delta cabin. Key component at the empty container forklift is the mast. The poles, which the manufacturers themselves have develo-ped are low mounted adjustable profile high wear-resistant guides. They are lightweight, yet rigid, because in the rough port operation, the poles, especial-ly extremely stressed at two raised high-cube-40‘-containers, wind forces cause extreme torques in the mast profiles. The Kalmar empty container stackers are con-trolled with joysticks or minilevers. A mini control slide switch in the left arm is also available. The truck are in application at the 1978 in Unterföhring near Munich founded CDM terminal for container handling. However the Hamburg harbour has up-graded with empty container stackers of Svetruck The manufacturer with, accor-ding to own information, the highest own manufacturing portion in the treacly load area offers for the empty container to handling of his series ECS the equipment with own technically revised, conformist ELME-Sidespreader..

suitable for applications with heavy loads. Technical innovations like the Load Sen-sing hydraulics should provide for high performance with need stream regulati-on, the steering strength amplifier, the torque-strong Cummins diesel engines (179 to 209 kW) and the electric load transmission. The diesel stackers reach a driving speed from up to 27.5 km/h with load and 31.5 km/h without load. Since drive and lift functions are completely se-parate from each other, changed the speed is not when a lift or tilt function is performed.For load control and maneuverability in ti-ght spaces, the cabin located centrally in front location and has a curved windshield and a security guard. Due to the high visi-bility mast with a new design in which all functional parts are arranged behind or outside the mast profile, the driver has both in view the fork points as well as the load and the whole surroundings. Besides, the mast‘s tread is developed for the load handling with the fork as well as for the empty container handling and is prepared by the universal fork bearer‘s system with quick change fork prongs for the multi-functional application.

Other logistics services providers have also already agreed to incorporate Wilhelmshaven into their concept. This applies in particular to feeder lines ai-ming to build up a feeder network. Eurogate is investing 350 million euros in the construction of the superstructure for the container terminal in Wilhelmshaven. In the final development phase, the ter-minal facility will provide approximately 1,000 direct jobs. The company APM Ter-minals has a 30 per cent stake in the ope-rating company.

short estuary channel are the locational advantages of the terminal on the River Jade. With a draught of 18 m, it will offer ideal prerequisites for the next generation of mega container vessels. As a common user terminal, all shipping lines worldwide will be able to use the terminal. The Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven is planned as a transhipment port for fee-der services to Scandinavia, the Baltic and Russia. Its strategic location will make it a hub for the Rhine/Ruhr region as an alter-native to the North Range ports of Rotter-dam, Antwerp and Le Havre.The operating concept envisages linking the Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven to

In August 2010 a new container handling record was marked at the Eurogate Contai-ner Terminal Hamburg: over the past 40 years, 33,333,333 standard containers (TEU) have been handled. The jubilee container came from the United Arab Shipping Com-pany and was loaded onto a container ship which is employed in service between Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

“33,333,333 containers – that’s an impres-sive figure that we could never have ima-gined back in 1970. In the meantime, our Container Terminal Hamburg has grown into a modern, technically efficient termi-nal capable of handling the world’s mega container vessels. After all, we’re already working towards the 44,444,444 mark,” says Thomas Eckelmann, Chairman of the Group Management Board. The first container on the current site was handled back in 1970. That was the start of the steel box’s triumphant advance. Only ten years later, in 1980, the container handling volume reached the 150,000 TEU mark. The Container Terminal Ham-burg achieved its record handling perfor-mance in 2008 with 2.7 million TEUs. The economic crisis caused the handling volu-me to decline in 2009, however, to 2.1 mil-lion TEUs, comparable with 2004. In the meantime, container volumes in the port of Hamburg are rising again.With its commissioning in August 2012, the Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven will become the third port facility on the North Sea to be operated by the Eurogate Group – in addition to locations in Bremer-haven and Hamburg. The container termi-nal is being built at Germany’s only deep-water port. Adequate water depth and a

Peter Abel, Cluster Manager Logistics. NRW, presented the latest results of the NRW logistics Indexes: In the preview for the logistics year 2011 running now the interviewees of the index are tuned very positively. 64 % of the respondents ex-pect a better business development than in 2010 for 2011 – no company is based on a worse development. At the same time 45 % of the logisticians want to adjust in North Rhine-Westphalia into 2011 new employees. One year ago only 26 % of the enterprises planned for 2010. In spite of the positive assessment of their business. the logistics experts expect significant cost increases for 2011, they believe, ho-wever, to be able to continue to adjust

The North Rhine-Westphalia minister for economy, energy, construction, living and traffic Harry K. Voigtsberger expects in 2011 for North Rhine-Westphalia a stable economic economic situation and logisti-cs economic situation. This was his main message at the annual opening of the lo-gistics cluster NRW on the 31st of January in Dusseldorf. The minister stressed that mobility and logistics is one of six leading markets in North Rhine-Westphalia and enjoyed therefore a high priority. North Rhine-Westphalia is in the opinion of Matthias Löhr, chairperson of the steering circle of the logistics cluster close before to be the most important logistics loca-tion in Germany and also Europe. Dr. Hansjörg Rodi, CEO of Schenker AG Ger-many, has positive economic expecta-tions. On the topic of „Green Logistics „ there should not be for lack of willingness to pay lip service to.

He criticized, however, that even in com-parison with the past increasing short contract terms, concepts hardly allow su-stainability. Green logistics counts for Hermann Grewer, president of the Associ-ation of Road Haulage, Logistics and Dis-posal (BGL)., to the natural interest areas of the traffic economy: „If an enterprise aims at safety and at economic efficiency, the environment protection takes effect with it automatically.

North Rhine-Westphalia-Economic minister Voigtsberger gave the assent that the country North Rhine-Westphalia will further accompany the cluster during the next years.

About the logistics cluster North Rhine-Westphalia

For the logistics cluster, the NRW Log-It Club eV as a carrier association with the Association of Transport and Logistics NRW has formed. The pro-ject is supported by the Ministry of Economy, Energy, Construction, Hou-sing and Transport of North Rhine-Westphalia and the EU. The aim is to bundle up the forces in the logistics economy in North Rhine-Westphalia and to form an active Logistic-Community in North Rhine-Westphalia. North Rhine-Westphalia should be developed with it to the logistics loca-tion of Nr.1 in Europe. In addition varied activities are moved during the coming years by the cluster management logistics. Active participation in the network is possible through membership in the Log-It Club, currently quite a good 170 enterprises and institutions are present actively as a member.

The expectations of the transport and logistics branch in 2011 were unambiguously formulated in the panel discussion: Economic situation well, but need to catch up with the added value.

LocatingDevicesoutdoorswithD-GPS:UpfrontTechnologyforTerminals

The developers refined wireless technolo-gy based on differential GPS, in which a fixed station is taken as a reference point. In addition, a specially developed sensor is mounted on the truck, providing infor-mations of the further movement. Now position data of the transported goods and containers may be accurately deter-mined with a resolution of up to 40 cm. A height sensor detects when shooting, and upon discontinuation of the product‘s current mast heights (important for con-tainer terminals), so that stacked goods are being located correctly. Moves the truck from the outdoor to the indoor area, the system automatically switches from the outdoor to the indoor location identi-fication system. The system may be retro-fitted to any truck or reachstacker.

Empty trips are avoided and optimal routes planned

The accurate determination of vehicle po-sition enables the terminal operator to combine the truck closest to the next load with that specific load. Empty runs can be avoided. The driver automatically receives the transport orders, a map of the terminal with its current and target position, product information are also displayed. At the same time the travelling

Rail Cargo Austria (RCA) has provided the container terminal in Wels with a sensor-solution from supplier Symeo. The solu-tion includes all components of the D- GPS-based position detection for reach stackers and gantry cranes to locate and detect at the spreaders of the machines. After the successful completion of the pi-lot phase at the terminal Wels site RCA wants to equip all the terminals with the position detection of Symeo. The techno-logy: radio-based D-GPS positioning for the vehicles and cranes, combind with the spreader mounted wireless transmis-sion via ZigBee short-range radio tailed load detection sensors for the detection of all kinds of containers. A particular advantage of the developed solution is its scalability and extensibility. It can be used independently on any large areas on any vehicle or type of crane and can be used in areas where GPS reception is impossible.

Automatic Identification System with outdoor accuracy of up to 40 cm

1.000 mm - that‘s with GPS systems in the localization of forklifts on the outside so far the maximum precision. While in indoor usage, the position of the vehicles and goods through means of transpon-ders in the ground and antennas can be determined from the forklifts, the tech-nique in the outside area is unreliable. And optical systems that rely on over ground markers and cameras on the vehi-cle are not suitable for outdoor storage. A novel method that was developed specifi-cally for outdoor use via differential GPS (DGPS) is being presented from IdentPro.

The positioning system ident plus out-door can localize forklifts and loads up to 40 cm and accurately transmit the positi-on data to an enterprise resource plan-ning system. It is an enhancement of the already existing inddor location solution which traces products with an accuracy of up to 10 cm. „The problem of outdoor camps is the inability to install position markers on the ceiling how we do it in warehouses,“ says Michael Wack, mana-ging director. Also, markings on the floor

are an inadequate alternative because they are often covered by people, goods or vehicles, or may be damaged. GPS sys-tems receive outdoor easily a signal but 1.000 mm tolerance may be to to impre-cise, thus resulting often in false informa-tion about the location of the product.

Together with the D-GPS position data of the vehicle the additional sensor identifies load data changes and size of containers. All data will be wirelessly transmitted via Zigbee to the operator terminal in the cab.

Reach Stackers and gantry cranes at the intermodal terminal at Wels, Rail Cargo Austria AG, are using D-GPS.

also waive or bar codes to RFID to the goods. Instead, the product or the contai-ner is the first record recorded once for the plus-ident system. Then IDEAL logged automatically every movement of the material. Even with a different from the default storage location is as easy to un-derstand where the merchandise was ta-ken. Wrong deliveries, and „lost“ goods are thus virtually eliminated. The intra-logistic situation is exactly and always has currently digital.

RuggedPCsforDSSmithforklifttrucksLeading corrugated packaging firm DS Smith Packaging has purchased JLT 1214 se-ries ultra-rugged fixed-mount PCs for its fleet of forklift trucks. This purchase is a step forward in making the JLT 1214 the standard touchscreen PC across its group-wide sites. DS Smith Packaging selected the PCs simply because there is nothing else available on the market that offers a 12-inch touchscreen in a compact, weather-proof and ultra-rugged chassis. “We belie-ve that there is nothing to beat the JLT computers for our purposes. Our decision to standardise on the product follows ex-tensive use at three key sites where the computers have been tested in extreme conditions. The manufacturing environ-ment in which we work is challenging and the forklift trucks are working both inside and outside at all times of year. We value the product and the service we get from Mobexx,” (one of JLT’s UK based resellers),

said Glyn Tomlinson, Re-gional IT Manager, DS Smith Packaging. The in-vehicle computers run the mobile side of DS Smith Packaging’s pa-perless business sys-tems. They provide the wireless interface for the forklift drivers to the back office system, sen-ding jobs directly to them. In the warehouse and for despatching or-ders, picking lists are sent automatically to the PCs and the drivers go about their jobs scanning each item pi-cked using a Motorola Symbol LS3408ER long range bar code scanner. DS Smith Pa-ckaging has 33 sites located through Great Britain. The Packaging Division em-ploys about 3200 people and together with DS Smith Plc’s paper division, the or-ganisation has a combined turnover of ap-prox £750 million. The company’s custo-mers include some of the world’s largest companies to small, local and entrepreneu-

HistoricalEquipmentHow to transport containers if there is no appropriate crane or no means of unloading it from any kind of trailers Mafi has developed a so called drive-in-trailer, which was able, once it was pushed over the container, to close the twist locks and lift it up. In conjunction with the liftable fifth the container was lifted in transport position and driven to its final destination. There it was lowered and the truck moved on for the next lift. A time-consuming and space-eating way to transport the boxes in the eighties but it still worked especially for companies with limited numbers of containers.
