Moving Jumbo Products Calls for Jib Cranes

By John Fincher on 2012-04-27 15:27:33 -

Jib cranes are constructed of a horizontal boom which supports a moveable hoist, and is fastened to a sturdy structure such as a wall or floor-mounted pillar. They operate as hoists that lift the heaviest products, and move them from one location to another, or from one floor to another within a warehouse.

Indoff supplies a variety of jib cranes from a number of different manufacturers. Gorbel jib cranes can handle loads ranging from 50 pounds to 40 tons and feature some that can be mounted to the ceiling of the warehouse. Cleveland Tramrail features jib cranes that can be completely free standing, others that can cover multiple work sites, and some that have 360 degree rotation devices.

If your warehouse contains heavy products that have to be moved, jib cranes may be wise investments that your company can make today. For more information about jib cranes and how they might be useful in your warehouse, contact your Indoff partner, John Fincher, at 404-216-0304. Jonh.fincher@indoff.com

Modular Office Systems

By John Fincher on 2012-03-30 08:05:02 -

 

The most efficient, cost effective way to create in-plant office space

When you find that your plant or warehouse would function better with an office on the floor, save yourself a lot of trouble and expense by installing a modular office system from Indoff. One call to your Indoff representative is all you need do to get a Portafab modular office system, engineered to your specific requirements, installed in your plant or warehouse in just one day.

Why choose modular office systems over traditional construction?

1. No architect or contractor needed – all offices are pre-engineered complete with CAD drawings, all materials and installation instructions and are compliant with building codes.

2. No installers needed – Indoff will supply qualified installers experienced in modular office systems installation.

3. Easy installation = cost savings – each modular office system can be installed in one day. The offices are sleek and professional in appearance. Interruption of plant/warehouse operations is minimized as pre-engineered modular offices do not require areas of your facility to be sealed off for weeks to allow for multiple phases of construction and the subsequent clean-up.

4. Durable and low maintenance - modular office systems are made from strong vinyl and metal laminated to an insulating core which makes walls resistance to damage from direct impact or puncture. The walls do not require paint and will not warp from variations in climate or environmental conditions.

5. Design Versatility – modular office walls are interchangeable allowing for future modifications in design including additions such as a second story, mezzanine or lateral expansion.

6. Sound Resistance – the special fire and sound panels create a quiet space to work even while loud machinery and forklifts are operating outside the office.

Call your Indoff representative, John Fincher, (404-216-0304) to find out if a modular office system is what your plant or warehouse needs for efficient, cost effective expansion.

Warehouse Safety ? Focus on Forklifts

By John Fincher on 2012-03-12 20:28:11 -

Each year in the United States there are over 100 deaths and 20,000 injuries from forklift-related accidents. In spite of driver training, signs, forklift horns and back up alarms, accidents still happen in the warehouse. Indoff offers forklift safety solutions including collision awareness systems. The Crossing Guard Collision Awareness System features eco-friendly, solar powered technology which gets energy from existing light, and uses a rechargeable low voltage DC battery.

The system monitors risk areas with sensors that detect heat as well as motion. The adjustable sensors can be infrared as well as ultrasonic and installed to cover the entire risk area. A model with a weight sensitive sensor is also available. The systems are highly visible and made of durable high impact material. Detection of a potential collision will trigger sound and high intensity flashing LED lights. Standard features include a warning system for low battery.

Each system is easily installed or relocated by being hung from the ceiling or fastened to a wall or racking. Experts will provide onsite safety inspections and written recommendations. Product demos are available as well as trial installations by certified technicians. Operation and product training are included as well as a two year warranty. The system reduces nuisance alarms and improves effectiveness, but is meant to be an addition and not a replacement for standard forklift safety procedures.

To schedule a complimentary evaluation of your warehouse and find out how collision awareness systems, the latest in safety technology, can reduce accidents in your warehouse, contact your Indoff partner, John Fincher, at 404-216-0304.

ERGONOMIC LIFTING EQUIPMENT

By John Fincher on 2012-03-05 19:21:06 -

Every year, thousands of work days are lost due to work-related injuries. The cost of these days missed total in the millions nationwide. Proper ergonomic lifting equipment will increase efficiency and productivity in your facility.

Heavy lifting injuries make up a large majority of those requiring missed days: on average, shoulder or back injuries comprise about a third of all injuries each year. These are caused by either overexertion or cumulative trauma.

Injuries due to lifting pose a threat, but an easily avoidable one. Heavy items should simply be placed where employees can use proper posture to pick them up. It is important to minimize bending while lifting, which forces the upper body to lift its own weight in addition to the weight of the item being lifted. Also, bending while lifting moves the load away from the body, thereby decreasing leverage.

Indoff offers a wide variety of ergonomic lifting equipment to keep your employees safe from injury and make their jobs more efficient and productive. Indoff lifting equipment options include:

STACKERS

LIFT TABLES

PALLET POSITIONERS

CONTAINER TILTERS

POST LIFT TABLES

LIFT TRANSPORTERS

PALLET TRUCKS

REGAL LIFTS

Call John Fincher, your Indoff partner, for the best in ergonomic lifting options, 404-216-0304.

Creative Warehouse Storage

By John Fincher on 2012-02-11 04:04:15 -

 

If building on to an overcrowded warehouse is not an option for your company

right now, then creative ways to use existing space is the way to go. Indoff can

help by reevaluating the layout of your warehouse and providing ways to more

effectively use your available warehouse space.

 

One of the smartest solutions for utilizing wasted space is the installation of steel

Mezzanines which can be free-standing or self-supported, and take up unused

vertical space.

With the installation of Mezzanines, your company can:

* Double or even triple the usable square footage of your existing facility;

* Use Mezzanines for most storage leaving floor space for production, assembly and office space;

* Prevent downtime caused by building expansion or facility move;

* Realize tax benefits as Mezzanines are considered equipment, not real property, therefore minimizing additional property taxes and allowing depreciation advantages of equipment over buildings;

* And save you money by using existing heat, light and cooling

Indoff designs each Mezzanine system to fit your operations unique needs, function and space. The goal is to offer your company the best solution forgrowing your business with minimal cost.

So expand your business – not your building.
