New films will save users money
Stonehouse, United Kingdom
Gloucestershire-based Golden Valley Pallet Wrap Specialists Ltd claims its new ranges of pallet wrap film will save users money on each pallet that they wrap. The Carbon and Alloy ranges are available in both hand- and machine-applied versions.
Golden Valley says that wrapping a typical palletised load using a standard 23 micron pallet wrap costs, on average, 28p ($0.42), but to wrap the same pallet with Carbon or Alloy machine pallet wrap costs just 18p ($0.27). For a company that wraps 500 pallets per day, this would equate to a saving of GBP13,000 (USD19,700) per year.

Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks has launched the AXIA ES pedestrian stacker series.

Available in capacities of 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 T, the trucks can lift loads to heights of up to 5.4 m (17.7 ft.). For occasional longer distances, users can specify a foldable ride-on platform on the 1.2 to 1.6 T stackers.
