Eurotech: The Nemo Handheld Lifter
Eurotech, implementers of standardised and customised handling and transport solutions in the field of vacuum technology, is now offering Nemo, a battery-powered handheld vacuum lifter with powerful suction that works on rough, structured and damp surfaces. It can achieve a holding force of up to 170 kg and has an installed vacuum meter with a red/green area for monitoring. The vacuum pump integrated into the handle creates the required negative pressure and features an economy circuit that switches off automatically once a safe negative pressure is reached. If the vacuum in the suction device drops, the pump will switch on again. The Nemo hand-held lifter is a system for lifting and transporting flat items and virtually all surfaces. Wherever heavy lifting is necessary, this tool assists in minimizing the risk of dam-aging expensive material while maximizing productivity and reducing the physical work-load involved, the company claims.

Ranger Design: Lockers And Workbenches
Ranger Design, a designer and manufacturer of specialized van shelving, van racking, ladder racks, partitions and storage systems for commercial vehicles has launched their newly redesigned van lockers and workbenches for storage and organization within the mobile technician’s work vehicle. Updates to the lockers include black end panels to be consistent with other pieces in the product line, an extra 2 inches of width for increased storage space and upgraded tougher versions of the install brackets.
For both the lockers and workbenches, the doors have been standardized to match the company’s other shelv-ing doors. This is to reduce inventory and simplify installation for both the customers and distributors, according to the company.
The new workbenches have some subtle updates including a slight change to the end panels to accommodate for new brackets; however, they will still remain aluminum for increased payload and overall durability.
