| New logistics tool from Creform Corporation As a complement to its adaptive Creform System for constructing material handling and logistical structures that help users to achieve continuous improvement goal and to meet lean manufacturing objectives, the Creform Corporation has introduced a new transport tool. Designated the GN-400, this new logistics tool is a polypropylene-platform dolly that, by itself, helps in moving part loads around facilities, and to aide in maintaining safe and clean work areas by providing a simple and maneuverable platform for keeping containers off the floor. The innovative design of the GN-400 dolly featuring molded tabs and corresponding slots that fit together, allow individual platform modules to be coupled, from either side and/or from either end, to form a cart with a larger base. No tools are required to assemble the cart modules and the units are just as easily disconnected for resumption of individualized use as service needs change. The new GN-400 dollies are economical enough for occasional use in the office, shop and factory environment, and even in the home basement, garage, and workshop. The dollies are ideal for moving furniture, appliances, equipment or boxes yet store in a compact space. Because they can be easily assembled, disassembled and rejoined, multiple carts are easily transported to off-site locations then, when coupled together, make a larger cart with high capacity or used individually at each corner of a large load. Each Module Cart is manufactured from sturdy polypropylene and measures 680 x 400 x 115 mm. Individual units offer 200 kg loading capacity and can be used in temperature settings of from 0 to 50° C. Modules may be equipped with either 075 mm white nylon swivel casters as standard, or as an option, with 075 mm black rubber wheel swivel casters. Fast and easy caster attachment and changeout is accomplished with a 17mm open end wrench. For easy carrying, the carts feature molded hand grips with rounded edges and weigh 3.8 kg with the nylon caster, or 4.2 kg if fitted with the rubber style caster. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
