Moving time
May 1st 2010 JUNG lifting jacks and machinery
skates supplied by Movetech UK (the
new name for British Turntable Co)
are helping Flowserve Flow Control
make the movement of heavy and
awkward loads from the assembly
line to an external despatch area safer
and easier.
The 20 tonne capacity JUNG jack
and the steerable trolley and rear
JUNG skates, which provide a total
capacity of 28 tonnes, are used to
move valves for the oil & gas
industry around the production
floor. "These can weigh anything
from 5 to 14 tonnes," explains
Flowserve's production director Alan
Watson, "and they're not a uniform
shape, either - they can have a base
up to 3 metres square and 1 metre
high. They have to be handled with
great care, and employing the skates
to do the moving has certainly
streamlined the process." More articles from Movetech UK: |
