Skate solution

JUNG lifting jacks and machinery skates supplied by Movetech UK, the new name for British Turntable Co, are helping Flowserve Flow Control move heavy and awkward loads from assembly line to external despatch area safely and easily.

The 20t capacity JUNG jack and steerable trolley and rear JUNG skates, which provide a total capacity of 28t, are used to move valves for the oil & gas industry around the production floor. Alan Watson, production director, says these can weigh up to 14t and can have a base up to 3m square and 1m high. Using the skates to do the moving has streamlined the process in line with the company's strict safety criteria.
