Vacuum pipe lifters and coil hooks checks. European standards ASME B30.20-22, Australian standards AS 4991, 4024 and the AS/NZS 4268 are reached or exceeded.

Today’s market requires every company to ensure that the in-plant material flow, storekeeping and movement of goods are organised economically. As many companies continue to experience considerable pressure on prices and lead times, the ergonomic planning of in-plant material flow can lead to an immediate reduction in costs. Stierli Bieger AG has developed a new and unique roll-out material storage system based on intensive onsite research with a number of existing customers. The main advantages of the Stierli Bieger system are Schoenbeck GmbH & Co KG has intro- duced additional models in its vacuum pipe lifting range, including the ELiTE 12 and 16TE (tonnage/electrical) vacuum pipe lifter models and the ELiTE LiTE power pack concept. The ELiTE 12TE vacuum pipe lifter is electrically powered by the user’s main power supply (380V/420V, 50 or 60Hz). Supplied with either a SWL of 12,000 or 16,000kg (26,500lb/35,200lb) units, both can be delivered with a central single or two outer double hook eyes for tower/ gantry crane applications. The power is transported to an electrical motor, which in

turn drives a vacuum pump. This model is available with radio remote control or hard wired cable remote; both can be operated from the ground floor or cabin positions. In the event of a factory power failure/ power tripping, the machine has sufficient warning power to operate for an additional 8-12 hours. A power pack is loaded prior or during normal lifting operations, and is activated automatically on demand. Standard warning sirens/flash lights are incorporated, as are safety valves and -40°C solenoids for extreme cold working environments and pre start-of-work system

synchronised system developed by Stierli Bieger AG guarantees parallel running of the arms with a loading capacity of up to 1,500kg/arm. The arms are equipped with maintenance- free grooved ball bearings. Additional sheet metal channels or wood supports can prevent damage. Stierli Bieger is the manufacturer of roll- out racks, devices for welding and dressing, Schoenbeck also now manufactures C hooks for steel coils with SWLs of 10,000kg to 40,000kg (22,000lb to 88,000lb). The standard model is delivered with a crane eye (size according to requirement), while alternative models can be equipped with a power swivel/rotor. The products are manufactured according to all relevant CE standards. Schoenbeck GmbH & Co KG – Germany Fax: +49 5721 81433 Email: info@schoenbeck-maschinen.de Website: www.schoenbeck-maschinen.de

Safe material handling in a confined area the improvement in utilisation of floor space, tidy and compact storage within the factory, and fast and safe material handling.

In addition, downtimes of production machinery can be minimised, and safe working practice within the customer’s company can be considerably improved. By using this system, the company claims to avoid the usual risks associated with the stacking and storage of stock materials. The number of arms, width clearance, single or double construction can be individually selected. The arms can be removed easily and safely by hand. The

Goudsmit Magnetic Systems BV has expanded its range of demagnetisation systems with a demagnetisation unit with automatic transport system. This com- bination provides a compact and reliable set that saves time during demagnetisation. The transport system conveys the product evenly through the tunnel, ensuring Demagnetising with auto transport systems an optimal demagnetisation effect. The speed and the height of the conveyor is adjustable to the operational situation, and the combined system is secure and energy efficient.

The unit ismade of non-magnetic stainless steel, which leaves the demagnetisation effect undisturbed. The transport systems can be fitted with start/stop photocells, a conveyor or rollers (with or without drive). If required, tunnels are available in standard designs or made to customer specification. The standard versions are compact, and can be placed between other production machinery or in sequence in a production line.
