Agri work-at-height made safe & easy with machines from Goscor Hi-Reach

At this year’s Nampo, farmers can look forward to viewing two agricultural workhorses from Goscor Hi-Reach’s stable of premium brand work-at-height machines, the Hydralada Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) and the compact rough terrain Genie telehandler. Recently introduced to the local agricultural market by Goscor Hi-Reach, the tough, heavy duty Hydralada Maxi 540 is ideal in its design for working at height in orchard environments such as mango, avocado, litchi, etc. The machine’s excellent lift capacity enables operators to work up to seven metres high while the low tail profile makes it the perfect choice for work in restricted spaces. The Maxi 540 is economical to operate and service and is easy to transport to the job site. “The Hydralada is a big productivity factor in pip and stone fruit picking,” notes Goscor Hi-Reach Managing Director, George Landsberg. He adds that alongside branch pruning and training, this compact and versatile machine can also be used for general maintenance work-at-height around the farm, warehouse, packing store, etc. With a maximum lift height of 5.79m, the Genie GTH-2506 compact telehandler can be used for general lifting and carrying purposes on and around the farm. This 4x4 machine’s three power-assisted steering modes - front wheel, crab and coordinated steer - provides exceptional manoeuvrability to take care of various materials handling tasks quickly and efficiently. Landsberg affirms that special Nampo pricing will be available on all Goscor Hi-Reach’s show machines as well as on current stock. “We are adding further value to our show portfolio by offering free floating forks on the Genie telehandler. Pricing on the Hydralada will include a free 54kg picking/harvest bag as well as a Hydraloppa pruning kit which consists of a hydraulically operated power pruner with a powerful 40mm cutting capacity,” concludes Landsberg. Goscor Hi-Reach’s agricultural products will be on display at Nampo 2016 on stand 56 A – C alongside two other companies from the Goscor Group - Goscor Power Products and Bobcat.

Epiroc and Elf Drilling – keeping the finger on the mining pulse

Image
Epiroc has once again rocked the local mining space with a landmark sale of the first BenchREMOTE in South Africa to key customer, Elf Drilling. The innovative BenchREMOTE is an advanced monitoring system, which can be linked to up to three SmartROCs and is ideal for removing the operator from the danger area, taking him away from the noise and dust and drilling in hazardous areas near the high wall, thereby contributing to elevated safety levels. Elf Drilling, since its inception three decades ago, has been a frontrunner in drilling, sampling and service for the Northern Cape mining industry. Operating as a complementary team, Faghmi Cader, Eduard and Lizelle Mostert are leading Elf Drilling into the new age of automation drilling. Consisting of a regional office in Kathu, a head office in Kimberly and a workshop in Kuruman and supported by a team of 145 employees, the company boasts extensive experience across South Africa, as well as in Namibia and Angola. Elf Drilling is also a m

Epiroc anchors down on safety and productivity with new Cabletec SL

Image
Epiroc understands that safety and productivity are fundamental to a mine’s sustainable future and this was the inspiration behind the design and development of the latest ground-breaking fully mechanised Cabletec SL. Mines are increasingly recognising the invaluable role of automation and digitalisation in driving down input costs and driving up output, efficiencies and productivity while at the same time enhancing the safety of mine workers. Featuring advanced automation technology, this fully mechanised and versatile cable bolting machine eliminates the need for perilous and time consuming hand-held drilling and manual installation of mechanical anchors by performing these processes remotely. The Cabletec SL also reduces the number of operators required to install mechanical anchors to a maximum of two people who are able to operate the machine safely from a canopy or via blue tooth remote control technology. Remote functions include changing the drill steel and inserting the

Reconditioning of components with Thermal Spray Coatings

Image
The application of Thermal Spray coatings by South Africa’s leading surface coating specialists, Thermaspray, can lead to an enhancement in performance and an extension of service life of expensive engineering parts and industrial components, leading to substantial reductions in downtime and production costs. Engineering components and parts in production processes are subject to degradation through wear, corrosion, oxidation and cavitation. Thermaspray, Managing Director, Dr. Jan Lourens, points out that as all these degradation processes are active on the surface of components, a suitably selected and correctly applied surface coating like Thermal Spray can effectively re-condition production equipment to ‘as new’. “In fact”, adds Dr. Lourens, “very often, through degradation analyses and the selection of a superior coating, a thermal spray coating makes it possible to provide virtually as good as new a component. Most importantly for the end user, this means substantial cost sav
