Logitrans modifies highlifter
Ribe, Denmark
Logitrans has made improvements on its highlifters after feedback from customers.
"Even more parts of the highlifters are now made of stainless steel," says sales director Gitte Kirkegaard. "With a stainless highlifter, companies with high demands for hygiene and companies with wet and aggressive environments can lift to an ergonomically correct working height. The normal painted models have a short operation life in companies with wet and aggressive environments."
Highlifters combine the advantages of a pallet truck with the characteristics of an adjustable lifting table.

New Bremen, OH, United States
Crown Equipment Corporation has introduced the Crown ST 3000-25 Series walkie straddle stacker, capable of handling up to 2,500 lb. (1,134 kg) and work in tight spaces.
Unlike typical counterbalance trucks that require an 11 to 13 ft. (3.3 - 3.9 m) aisle to operate, the Crown ST 3000-25 allows managers to use 6 to 7 ft. (1.8 - 2.1 m) aisles so they can maximise storage space.
The stacker is available in North and South America.
