Pushes and pulls steel sheet September 1st 2004 Permastore has taken delivery of a Nu-Star Power Pusher to keep its new Trumpf Trumatic TC5000R steel press supplied with stainless steel. The Power Pusher is used to push and pull stacks of steel sheet into and out of the press. Sheets vary from 2 to 7mm in thickness and each stack weighs 4t.
Kevin Woods from Permastore explains The Power Pusher has taken all the physical effort out of this process and reduced the likelihood of any hand or finger injuries that may have resulted from direct handling of the steel sheets. It is popular with all the staff.
The Power Pusher is one of a range of pedestrian operated, battery powered tug units capable of pulling, pushing and generally manoeuvring wheeled industrial loads from 500 to 100 000kg. More articles from Nu-Star Material Handling Ltd: |
