This safetyfeature controls the pallet speed in flow,maintaining the stability of the load and avoidingpallet impacts.Also, the new PF 1000 Time Delay SafetySeparator keeps the first pallet at the unloadingface separate from the other pallets in the lane andtheir accumulation pressure. This enables forkliftdrivers time to safely remove a pallet before thenext one moves into position for unloading.Versi Flow - a versatile modular wheel systemsupplied in pre-assembled modules, can quicklyand economically be fitted into racking to createdynamic, versatile carton flow storage. Denselypacked wheel beds allow various sized carton sizesto be accommodated without the need for trackand guide re-configuration.

Also included is an overload alarm that will sound when the overload threshold is approached and at the overloadpoint. This helps the driver to avoid potential tip-over.An optional external audible alarm and also a visual load indication light bar are available to further enhance overload warnings to the operator.www.rdstec.com Stand 19J85OCMEOCME will be showing one of their Auriga Laser Guided Vehiclesat IMHX. Automatic LGVs can perform the routine tasks that arenormally carried out by fork-lift and clamp trucks, except withoutthe need of a driver. The cost saving associated withlabour is usually significant, however LGVs can also helpto reduce operating costs in other ways – for example,no unexpected bills for repairing damage caused byforklift trucks to the building, machinery and product, aswell as about 50% lower maintenance costs.Apart from helping to reduce operating costs,another big benefit in moving to LGVs isthe improvement in safety.
