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.

Mines to gain control of yellow metal assets – aims to reduce fraud

SAMAR announces plans to cover entire life-cycle of all assets MIDRAND, SOUTH AFRICA – 25 May 2017 – The Southern African Movable Asset Register (SAMAR) today announces its plans that will allow mines, contractors, manufacturers, importers, builders, banks, insurers as well as the general public to control title and ownership of all movable assets, including yellow metal and other movable assets used during operations. In Africa, many yellow metal assets are crudely marked and registered to businesses. However, SAMAR creates the most recent reliable record of an asset and yellow metal by updating records in real-time as changes are made by various system participants. This allows businesses to effectively manage and control the financing of assets and yellow metal not on eNaTIS throughout their lifecycle. This greatly reduces fraud, theft, double discounting, or incorrect depiction for value and insurance purposes. Benefits for contractors • The value of movable assets and yello...

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...
