Kelley® HULK® series zero lift provides level interface The HULK® Series Zero Lift is designed to lift palleted materials from ground level to an ergonomic working height without the need of a fork lift or other heavy equipment. The lift lowers to ground level for easy loading of wheeled carts or pallets with just a pallet jack and provides users with a costeffective and ergonomic solution to increase safety and overall operational efficiency. The HULK Zero Lift offers a versatile solution for safely lifting items inside your facility and by bringing the work to the worker, lift tables not only increase a factory’s productivity, they reduce worker fatigue and drastically decrease the risk of serious back injuries and damaged goods that can result from using a fork lift in tight areas. Offering just a half inch lowered height, they can easily accommodate carts or pallet jacks and provide a smooth transition from floor to working waist height. Not only are these lifts designed to prevent employee fatigue and injury, but save the floor and its integrity in facilities. Kelley Zero Lifts are surface mounted not requiring any pit construction that can cause damage to production floors and worse, downtime during production. www.kelley.4frontes.com

Caster Concepts introduces industrial wheel & caster innovation Caster Concepts has developed an exciting new motion solution – the TWERGO™ wheel (Multiple Wheel Ergonomic). Designed for a wide variety of industrial applications, casters that utilize TWERGO wheels provide easier movement of loaded carts or vehicles. The TWERGO wheel and caster is a new concept that embodies all the necessities required of an industrial caster. TWERGO’s unique tread minimizes friction and eliminates scrubbing and sliding when turning, while providing the impact resistance of normal wheels. The ease of moving a cart, equipped with industrial casters, in motion is affected by many different aspects of the caster design. The multiple wheel design is anchored by a robust spanner that improves on existing wheel designs, and the wheel hub features aluminum die-cast cores for maximum strength. All wheels rotate independently of each other. These casters have a very long tread life and are maintenance free. TWERGO casters and wheels are excellent for production racks power transported, manually handled and mobile fixtures); parts bins, and other applications where maintenance free casters and ergonomics are concerns. www.casterconcepts.com
