West Point Rack’s customer first philosophy pays off by Mary Glindinning
Thirteen years ago, Terry Sroka and Reva Bily “decided to leave the large corporate world of decisions by committee, meeting after meeting and burdensome policies,” they said. The two founded West Point Rack, a Nebraska company that sells exclusively to material handling dealers. “West Point Rack is a smaller company with a highly dedicated staff. This allows us to ‘turn on a dime,’ respond quickly and to innovate whenever the opportunity presents itself,” said Sroka, chief executive officer. “I don’t want to be one of the biggest rack companies out there, just one of the better ones. Our primary goal is to support our dealers, satisfy their customers, earn trust and be the ‘Vendor of Choice’ for rack products and racking systems.” Company president Bily said if an end-user calls, they refer them to a dealer. “There is nothing wrong with selling direct to the end user, but you don’t do both,” Sroka said. “Draw the ‘line’ and stay on one side or the other. In order to build a good relationship with a dealer and to have him trust you, it is necessary that he really believes that you will not go around him and make the sale direct. Dealers are independent businesses that spend time and money to build up a customer base and the last thing they want to see is a manufacturer go around them and sell to one of their prospects who is shopping price.” Bily grew up on a farm and worked in a packing house and electrical sales before she joined the material handling industry. Customer service is the core of what she does, and the key to growth, she said. Customers want prices and delivery quickly. She tries to get back to a customer with a standard quote in 15 minutes, she said.
The relationship with dealers is built on competitive prices, service and standing behind the product, Sroka said. “If product issues do arise, we address those issues immediately with the goal of creating satisfaction for both our dealer and their customer,” he said. The company sells cantilever racks in light, intermediate, heavy and extra heavy duty configurations, structural pallet racks in galvanized or painted steel and portable stacking racks made to order. “I always look for things when we do specials,” Sroka said. “Does it have any potential of becoming a standard product? That is how we developed a lot of our standard products.” Specialty products made by West Point Rack include bar cradle trucks, drum racks and handcarts. West Point Rack has recently added new products to its line of racks. Included is a new line of reel racks, ranging in height from eight to 12 feet. Vertical racks, which will hold material from 21 inches to 12 feet, feature six-inch deep arms with three shelves made of 14-guage steel. U-Racks, which come with an orange paint finish, can be stacked up to four units high to save space. “The future looks very positive for West Point Rack,” Sroka said. “Our product base is expanding as is our market penetration. We will continue with the business model and plan that has taken us to this point and will continue to move us forward.”

WHAT’S NEW at J-tec?

www.jtecindustries.com
NEW Bi-Directional Cart Steering Control System Swivel Handle
Ø
Locking Wheel
We’ve developed a NEW steering control system to allow any cart to be pushed or pulled in perpendicular directions, with at least one wheel locked in the desired direction of travel. A series of linkages connects a waist-high swivel handle on one side of the cart to a floor caster rig. When the handle is swivelled from left to right it locks that caster in the desired direction. The other three casters always swivel to the direction the cart is pushed. This system assures optimum control of the cart for the operator. This new, bolt-on system can be added to ® ANY standard CarryMore 50” x 50” cart and is rated for up to 5,000 lb. loads.
Ø
MoveMore-40 Heavy Cart Mover TM
J-tec has worked countless hours with an established manufacturer of cart movers to redesign a NEW model specifically for J-tec to push or pull massive cart loads. The result is the J-tec MoveMore-40 Heavy Cart Mover. We redesigned the base and totally engineered a hydraulic front attachment unit to securely attach to and move heavy carts up to 4000 lbs. with NO ergonomic strain for the operator. Two batteries and charger included. Watch our VIMEO video on our website! Caboose cart will hold and transport this mover so you always have the MoveMore-40 handy. TM

Improve Productivity of Order Picking Lifts with a PalletPal Order Picker Load Leveling Attachment ®
The PalletPal® Order Picker Load Leveler attaches to any standard order picking lift to make the job of order picking or stock replenishing faster, safer and easier. Order picking on the ground or order picking up in a high bay both involve lots of wasteful and often dangerous motions. The PalletPal Order Picker minimizes many of these motions, and when picking above the ground, the integrated turntable further enhances the worker’s stability and balance. Built on the proven design of PalletPal Level Loaders, the PalletPal Order Picker uses a calibrated spring mechanism to automatically adjust the height of a load as boxes are added or removed. Keeping the top layer at a comfortable, convenient working height allows employees to load items with no bending, stretching or awkward posture. A built-in turntable allows operators to spin the load so they never have to reach across the pallet. The PalletPal Order Picker’s universal design fits on all brands of order pickers. It mounts quickly and easily with no tools. • Works with all standard order picker lifts • Automatic spring leveling • Integrated turntable platform • No power required • Attaches in seconds - no tools needed • Works with loads from 400 - 2000 lbs. • Non-skid platform

LIUGONG FORKLIFTS LiuGong North America has released a new line of forklifts designed specifically for the U.S and Canadian markets. The new 3-Series 2020-35G/H forklifts come standard with premium features and increased capabilities that make them among the most durable, ergonomic and modern lift truck systems available in North America. The LiuGong 3-Series is an all new, clean-sheet design built specifically to meet the expectations of the North American market. It represents the benchmark of all new LiuGong forklift models to come, featuring our new design philosopy and “LiuGong DNA” going forward. Standard 3-Series features include a full-suspension seat, a rearview mirror, a swingout dropdown LPG tank bracket, backup alarm, rear grab handle with horn button, operator password login and a full LED light package of front floods, rear combination lights and turn signals. The LiuGong 3-Series forklifts feature a three-fluid cooling system optimized for temperatures up to 113 degrees F. The system cools engine, transmission and hydraulic fluids – a unique feature for a forklift in the 4,000- to 7,000-pound-capacity class. LiuGong has achieved 70 percent parts commonality across the forklift range by mounting the steer axle to the counterweight instead of the frame. This design shares the same chassis between the different capacity models in the

family while changing only the mast, tires and counterweights. Higher parts commonality reduces the number of parts needed, saving money and boosting productivity through increased uptime. Ken Biediger, President of LiuGong North America Forklift Division, said customers will notice right away the 3-series 2020-35G/H models are in a class of their own. “The 3-Series forklifts are a premium, full-featured product offering exceptional value. Many features that other manufacturers charge hundreds if not thousands of dollars for as add-ons come standard on our new LiuGong models.” More information about the LiuGong North America 3-Series forklifts can be found online at www.liugongna.com or by contacting a local LiuGong dealer.
