Secondary anti-collapse systems are employed as well as machine guarding, removable guard rails/gates and telescoping access stair assemblies. Operator interfaces can range from simple push button style panels to fully integrated, HMI’s and feature rich touch screen displays. Controls systems can provide real time performance and maintenance data, diagnostic tools, remote troubleshooting, and are interface ready for integration into factory automation systems.<br />

Why incorporate personnel lifts into to your<a href="http://www.handling.com/industries/aerospace-material-handling-equipment/"> aero engine test cell</a>? The processes required within the test cell are made considerably more efficient and safer when employing a personnel lift. Technicians and operators are not required to work from ladders or scaffolding and can perform tasks at a correct ergonomic position.<br />

Designed with redundant safety systems and multiple belts, this mast style <br />
vertical drop lift was engineered to reduce deflection, ensure level and accurate positioning, support cantilevered loads, and offer high-duty cycles. The mast structure supports the lift carriage, while the drive train employs a belt equalization system, operated by an electro-mechanical motor with lock-position actuators. The vertical drop lifter also offers an OSHA compliant upper level personnel access platform and floor mounted devices for ease of access during planned maintenance.<br />
<br />
Handling’s field technicians are available to assist in the set-up, installation, and integration of your mast style belt lift, and will train your personnel in the operation and maintenance of the unit(s).<br />

Designed for Aerospace to assist in painting cells or assembly facilities in order to ergonomically place the workers around the products without the time-consuming set-up and tear-down required by scaffolding. Personnel lifts also aid in the safety of the workers and can be engineered to move people into place without compromising the production line movement.<br />
<br />
These multi-faceted machines can become stationary assets in a work cell, or translate in and out of the area on wheels. From assembling airplane bodies, engines and landing gear, to massive painting cells, nothing assists the worker like a personnel lift. Nothing helps the work get done more efficiently then a custom engineered Manlift.<br />
<br />
Handling Specialty has the experience and the talent to design a Personnel lift which will satisfy your specific application needs.<br />
<br />
Personnel lifts also work well in ship building and submarine assembly as well as maintenance and repair tools.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt 18pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">A question we
hear a lot from our customers is: How do I move from a manual assembly line to
one which is more automated? And then: How do I do this without major
interruptions and/or major cost to my assembly line? Is downtime in my
manufacturing, assembly plant, or warehouse unavoidable in making the switch
from a manual system to an automated one?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt 18pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
Auto</span>matically
Guided Vehicles now run along smart tape, and are no longer required to be
embedded into the concrete floor of the facility, which immediately saves you
time and money and the headaches of downtime while your existing building goes
through renovations. AGV’s also run to a pre-determined program written during
the manufacturing process in coordination with the client, so the AGV’s hit
your lines running.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">A Manually
Guided Vehicle is one guided by an operator who uses a hand-held control to
move the unit through its steps. This controller can either be attached to the
MGV by a cord or as a wireless remote control. In choosing an MGV you will
experience the freedom and ergonomic advantages to moving product from one end
of the line or facility to the other. Our MGV’s are already equipped with
most of the AGV hardware so you can translate from manual to automatic for very
little money and minimum effort. </span></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><a href="http://www.handling.com/product-categories/manually-guided-vehicles-mgv-and-automatic-guided-carts-agc/">Case studies are available for both versions in multiple designs for a myriad of industries and applications.</a> Handling Specialty has been in business since 1963 and builds AGV’s and MGV’s for some of the most demanding functions.<br />
To better understand whether your facility could benefit from an AGV or MGV system, contact <a href="mailto:mroper@handling.com">mroper@handling.com</a> for more information and be sure to ask us about our demonstration unit.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
One of our massive four post lifts were used in a test facility to train nuclear technicians in the re-tubing process for refurbishing nuclear reactors. The lift was manufactured to extremely tight tolerances to comply to Z299.2 requirements. <a href="http://www.handling.com/all-solutions/massive-work-platform-for-nuclear-refurbishment/">Case Study</a><br />
<br />
The engineered and manufactured portable tilt and rotate platform was designed for draining dry storage containers (DSC) that held spent nuclear fuel rods at a nuclear facility in Ontario. An operator uses a hand pendant controller to rotate and tilt the DSC to allow water to drain from the container. The three-degree tilt angle must be maintained for 24 hours for complete drainage to occur. <a href="http://www.handling.com/all-solutions/tilt-and-rotate-platform-for-nuclear-industry/">Case Study</a><br />
<br />
Handling Specialty and Atomic Energy of Canada combined forces in the design and manufacture of the lift system used to service AEC gimbles. The gimble is a device that is mounted to an overhead crane in the reactor tube area of a nuclear power plant. Positioned on the underside of the crane, the gimble is used to remove old fuel rods and insert new ones into a reactor. The system’s main lift is hydraulic while the second lift is mechanical to ensure accurate positioning. <a href="http://www.handling.com/all-solutions/hydraulic-lift-for-nuclear-industry/">Case Study</a><br />
<br />
Our material handling solutions for the Nuclear industry have been procured multiple times since Handling Specialty’s inception and exhibit a proven success rate of meeting and exceeding the expectations of our clients.mike poeltlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09248587075193992362noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-520524896576378842.post-5465053377211769252016-09-28T06:09:00.000-07:002016-09-28T06:09:47.424-07:00So Many Events on Manufacturing Day 2016<br />

AGV’s, or<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a data-mce-href="[sitetree_link,id=281]" href="http://159.203.42.175/[sitetree_link,id=281]">Automatic Guided Vehicles</a>, have been providing solutions in the materials handling business for many years. With the advent of autonomous vehicles hitting our roadways in the coming years, the story of the AGV is an important one.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
The very first autonomous guided vehicle was a modified towing tractor that was used to pull a trailer and follow an overhead wire in a grocery warehouse in 1953. In the 60’s towing AGV’s were in operation in multiple industries and by the 70’s they became widespread because of their multi-faceted abilities as a transportation device, work platform, and a link in the controls and information systems for the factory they were placed in.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

Today AGV’s are everywhere in the handling industry often times replacing forklifts, tuggers and even people as the preferred means to move product through a warehouse or assembly-line. As the technology which drives AGV’s improves, it’s not hard to see that these applications have been imagined outside of the warehouse and onto our streets.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

In the material handling industry safety has been a major consideration from the beginning and has only become more and more measured as liability and worker moral are taken into account. Ergonomics have also rewritten how employees are effected by the work they do. Autonomous guided vehicles offer both safety and ergonomics eliminating the pushing and pulling of heavy carts and when outfitted with lifting equipment AGV’s assist in alleviating unnecessary back and leg trauma by eliminating bending and lifting.</div>

AGV’s are powered by powerful electric batteries, removing fossil fuels from the equation offering a cleaner environment for employees to work in. The Green angle is one that has been trending for years and AGV’s have lead the charge. The argument to employ an AGV system in your warehouse or manufacturing facility is only becoming more and more feasible with costs falling and safety on the rise where they are currently applied.</div>

One is engineering and design services. Everything they create has a personal touch to better serve their customers needs. Two is that custom is a very big part of what they do when designing material handling products. If you need something to fit your application that goes beyond the standard scissor lift then they offer the best products in the world. Three - A large portion of their day to day business is through repeat customers. <br />
Clients like Pratt & Whitney, GE, ArcelorMittal, CP Rail, Siemens, the list goes on and on, all of these companies keep coming back for the professional services they receive at Handling Specialty.<br />

With a manufacturing plant situated within the Grimsby head offices, Handling Specialty has created an employee-centric culture which promotes information sharing between the shop floor and office environment and vice-versa. This environment of communication is an important aspect of why Handling Specialty has continued to thrive in each department from sales, to engineering, manufacturing and service. It is also why they've received return business from such notable companies as Lockheed Martin, Pratt & Whitney, GE, Bombardier, ArcelorMittal, Mercedes Benz, General Motors and many, many more.</div>

When you understand your limitations, you can work toward change, and an employee-centric culture facilitates that end through open communication in a speedy manner. This not only benefits the company's infrastructure but is realized by their customers as well through the level of quality and support they experience with each piece of equipment produced.</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Custom stands for something. It stands for integrity,
creativity, experience, engineering, manufacturing, support, passion and the trust
placed in the people employed to imagine the custom solution that will
transform a factory, facility or warehouse for the better. Custom material
handling is more than three words strung together to attract business. Building
custom equipment is a way of life. It requires technically savvy sales people,
an engineering department which includes hydraulic, mechanical, electrical,
software designers, purchasing departments skilled in procuring the proper
equipment, manufacturing professionals to piece together the newly imagined
equipment, knowledgeable installation, training and after-market professionals
who will support and maintain the custom material handling equipment. With so
many important roles involved in the process, a synergy between departments to
allow for a seamless flow of ideas and experience is absolutely necessary in
seeing each project through.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Specialty pronounced in a recent article written by Mike WIlliscraft for the </span><a href="http://www.clubwest.ca/editions/"><span style="color: #0563c1; font-family: Calibri;">July/August edition of Club West magazine</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">.
This simple yet profound quote is many layered. Handling Specialty sells
motion, whatever the need: lift, lower, tilt, vertical travel, horizontal
traversing. Handling also offers their custom engineered products to multiple
industries, drawing on over 50 years of design and manufacturing experience. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What is special about Handling Specialty? That the term ‘motion’
not only applies to standard and custom uses, but niche opportunities such as
underwater stage lifts. This is what the article in Club West focuses on, and
is well <a href="http://www.handling.com/company/blog/cirque-du-soleil-talks-up-handling-specialty/" target="_blank">worth the read</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
