Transportation is one of the most important inventions that mankind has ever developed. Aside from the internet, it has also been credited to be one of the proponents of globalization. Even though its scope is not as wide as the internet, it is still very important in a lot of economies and government functions all around the world. We all need them to save time and travel to farther distances. Once we had our feet and animals for transport, but now there are machines that can do the work for us. It has been very important to the development of many businesses and fields of study. How Modern-day Transpo Help Run Society There are many different kinds of transportation, generally divided into which body it travels in the world. We mostly refer to the aerial ones as planes and the sea-based ones as boats or ships, although there are a lot of different terms separating each type of vehicle. However, there are many more types of land-based transportation and all of them have different uses. All of them can traverse considerable distances but each of them can carry only a limited weight. Each country also has their own vehicles that they have developed, and some of them stayed there for good. Read more about them here. Most of us do have cars these days. You can even say that they are already considered a need especially in the cities. In the rural areas, they are also needed but most people can get by through public transportation, hitchhiking, or walking. Some areas still even use horses as transport. However, in the city, having a car is really needed because you need to bring it for work and save time. You might also need to bring your family along with you. Having a car is already considered a very practical decision to buy as it is an investment as well. However, there are times that you might need something far bigger than your car. You may want to start a construction business and there are a lot of things that you want to do. You might have some sand, gravel or cement that you need to dispose or transfer to another location. Also, you may want to store it as well and it can be quite difficult to do it all manually. If all of it is in sacks, then maybe you can do it but it is so much easier if you have a dumpster truck with you. Learn more about dump trucks here: https://www.thebalancesmb.com/construction-equipment-5-great-dump-trucks-844978. What Are Dump Trucks? Dumpster or dump trucks are one of the staple vehicles in any construction site and other locations that need heavy duty vehicles. Each town has its own waste removal companies that help keep the neighborhood organized and clean. A dumpster rental service will place dumpsters in places that are available for everyone so that they can use them instead of dropping trash bags on the pavements. Keeping the neighborhood clean and tidy will also help keep the wildlife from getting stuck in plastic wrappers and boxes, which can lead to species going extinct. You have seen them before probably on films, television shows and even in newspapers. If you haven’t, imagine a really large pickup truck with a really nice function; it can tilt its posterior portion to “dump” or release any of the contents behind it. This is the reason why most construction companies use them for their transportation problems especially with various materials. It can be quite detrimental to the operations if it is still manually done. Now, how can you get this type of vehicle? Well, one of them is through rental. There are so many businesses which offer dumpster rental in DC with competitive prices. You can always contact them through their offices or check out their websites for their other services. There are many kinds of dumpster trucks so you also need to ask which one would fit what you want. Although there is one kind of dump truck that is the most commonly used, you can also choose depending on the size. You may also want to buy one, but we would recommend this one for those who want a long term use. It is important to take note that the dumpster trucks are one of the most notorious for work-related accidents. This is why it is also important to have an insurance policy covering your vehicles. If you are going to acquire it for a business, make sure that your operators have the proper knowledge of driving these vehicles. Additional training may also be needed so that you will have peace of mind while they are operating the dumpster truck.
Doosan Bobcat EMEA today announced the opening of its headquarters for the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa), marking a further expansion in the Czech Republic. As part of its Dobříš campus, the newly erected building houses the company’s management and other employees and complements the production plant and the training and innovation center, where Bobcat machines are created for Europe and the rest of the world. Record investment, turnover and increase in production This year alone, the company’s investments in Dobříš will reach EUR 20 million.

‘First fire’ has been achieved at SSE Thermal’s Ferrybridge Multifuel 2 (FM2) project in West Yorkshire – a major milestone ahead of the plant becoming operational later this year. FM2, which entered construction in 2016, is being developed as a joint venture between SSE Thermal and Wheelabrator Technologies at a total cost of £325 million. When completed, the facility will have a generation capacity of 70MW, converting waste-derived fuel into enough electricity to power around 180,000 homes. In doing so, it will help divert an estimated 570,000 tonnes of waste from landfill annually. The project is located next to SSE’s existing FM1 facility and adjacent to the company’s decommissioned coal-fired Ferrybridge ‘C’ Power Station. “We’re delighted to have reached ‘first fire’ at FM2, which is one of the last big milestones before the plant becomes operational. This achievement is the culmination of three years of hard work and I want to say a big thank you to our lead contractor Hitachi Zosen Inova (HZI), and the entire project team, for getting to this point safely and on schedule,” said Stephen Davis, Head of Construction (Multifuel) for SSE Thermal, about the milestone. At peak construction over 900 people were working on the FM2 project, and 34 full-time roles are expected to be created once the plant becomes fully operational. SSE’s thermal plants provide important and complementary flexible electricity generation to support increasing renewable power across GB.
Starting a construction project can be a daunting task. There are so many things that you need to consider to complete your numerous building tasks. On that note, often big jobs require the use of a wide array of equipment. These pieces include road sweepers, dumpers, telehandlers, rollers, shovels, and attachments. FGS Plant is a UK based construction company that has a wide range of utilities available for quick order. With our competitive hire rates, flexible hire periods, free site survey, and telephone support, we are the premier destination for purchasing or considering equipment for your constructional needs. Despite the wide variety of construction companies in the UK, FGS plant is specific in the fact that we are dedicated to providing you with quality service to fulfill your personal and professional goals. We have a broad range of plant available to hire. Whatever your requirements, FGS Plant guarantees to meet your needs and surpass your requirements. Things to Consider When Looking For the Plant Hire Services: Most companies have come to understand that there are many benefits associated with selecting to work with a plant hire service. Employing a plant hire service can help them save money because they can rent as opposed to buying expensive constructional equipment. Despite the apparent economic benefit of hiring a plant hire service, one must consider additional factors when looking to purchase equipment. With that said, purchasing any piece of equipment comes with obligations that we all need to be made aware of. The first thing to do before hiring a plant hire service, is to do your research. Before purchasing equipment or engaging in a professional plant hire service you must understand what your end goals are. By doing this, you can prevent yourself from pairing with a company that does not have the skills or resources to meet your constructional needs. Also, credibility is another factor to consider. You must ask yourself, “How do the majority of people rate this plant hire service?” If you discover that a majority of people have had a negative interaction with the company, you can save yourself a lot of time and stress. If you’re looking to engage with a plant hire Kent company then consider FGS Plant. On that note, the age of equipment and delivery time are also things to consider. Old building equipment can be a hazard to you and those around you. The state of the material you are receiving can also be the difference between establishing a safe environment or a hazardous one. Having the latter will lead to countless lawsuits and inconvenience on your company and its employees. Furthermore, depending on when you want your project completed, a plant hire service’s delivery time is a significant element. It is best to avoid companies that will not respect your time in regards to completing projects. Understanding the relationship a company has with time-sensitive projects is something to consider strongly before hiring a plant hire service. Requirements Every Plant Hire Services Should Meet: Not many people know this, but there are some aspects that all plant hire services should meet. One of these requirements states that all equipment must have a risk assessment or method statement carried out before being used. This risk assessment component is to ensure the safety of everyone involved with the construction process. All building equipment must have a qualified person in charge of the operation to ensure that the project is running smoothly without situations that could harm people. Finally, all equipment must have sufficient insurance cover for all personnel involved, members of the public, machinery and for each item being used. Conclusion: Since 2004, FGS Plant has become a leader in the South East but supplying a wide range of equipment to major contractors throughout the area. We are not like other suppliers; our goal is to exceed your expectations so that you can produce the best results. More ever, besides providing top-notch service, our equipment and staff meet the highest standards demanded by the Construction industry. When working with FGS Plant, you are guaranteed to receive professional service that promptly meets all of your building requirements.

Chepstow Construction Equipment has been a Kubota Construction dealer since 2013 and covers South Wales as well as a large part of the West Country, areas that are both steeped in National Hunt Racing history. Both of CCE’s depots (Chepstow and Tiverton) conveniently have race courses located nearby, and the company has a long-running association with the Chepstow Racecourse and has sponsored the Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle for the past two years. CCE has 25 years’ experience in the plant industry and supply a range of Kubota machines, including the market-leading mini excavators, tracked dumpers and RTVs, to a variety of different customers such as plant hire firms, contractors and builders. Since becoming a Kubota dealer, CCE has supported Chepstow Racecourse and used the superb facilities for charity events and hospitality functions for suppliers, customers and employees. Most recently, the firm supplied a Reggae-style U48-4GL machine for its Caribbean-themed race night which is currently being raffled. CCE’s goal is to develop strong working relationships with construction and plant hire across the area it serves, and be the leading provider of compact construction equipment and mini excavators in particular. Therefore, Kubota has been the perfect partner with which to do so, and both companies have shared values of putting customers at the forefront of everything they do. The reliability of the Kubota product has helped to save customers a considerable amount of potential downtime and lost productivity on sites, as well as time in administrating machine problems and breakdowns. But they also save the CCE team huge amounts of time, both in terms of engineering and administration work on breakdown and warranty claims. Instead, this time can be much better spent on providing customers with a swifter reaction time to an issue, or to provide advice or training, for instance. As a result, CCE’s market share has grown by some margin over the last five years with three times the amount of Kubota machines being sold now than in 2012, and the company has been able to expand its service area into Devon to better serve customers in the West Country. Customer retention is above 90%, even during a very volatile and competitive period for the market. There are many likenesses between the thoroughbreds that race on the tracks at Chepstow and the Kubota mini excavators that are sold by CCE – both are top of their class. Hard working, reliable and with an impeccable pedigree but perhaps not quite as fast (!), Kubota’s mini excavators work just as well in soft ground as well as on good to firm, and always deliver a winning result.
Hiab, part of Cargotec, is launching a new crane for the waste collection market. The HIAB S-HiPro 230W will debut at this year’s ReinigingsDemoDagen (RDD) trade show taking place on 5 and 6 June in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Intended for use with underground refuse containers, Hiab has engineered the HIAB S-HiPro 230W to make it easier for operators to efficiently and safely perform their work in increasingly crowded and chaotic urban centres. “As more cities around the world turn to underground containers as an aesthetically pleasant and convenient solution for managing waste, we at Hiab have been listening to customers about the challenges of handling and emptying these containers. Working in traffic on congested streets, they need equipment that allows them to collect the waste quickly, without damaging the truck or posing a risk to operators and the surrounding area. In an industry with high employee turnover, they also need technology that offers simple and intuitive control for beginning operators,” says Hans Ohlsson, Director, Medium Range, HIAB Loader Cranes. Hiab designed the HIAB S-HiPro 230W with exactly these customer demands in mind, resulting in a waste collection crane that ensures stronger, simpler and safer performance. Compared to earlier generations, the new crane provides up to 30% greater lifting capacity in the positions that are most crucial for this specific application. At the same time, Hiab engineers have managed to reduce the dead weight of the crane by around 150 kg. The HIAB S-HiPro 230W comes equipped with Hiab’s advanced HiPro remote control system, which makes it easy to steer the crane with complete precision for novice operators. It also has Hiab’s unique Semi-Automatic Motion system. It simplifies crane operation which in turn increases the level of safety that the crane can offer. “With a crane that practically controls itself, operators can instead concentrate on making sure that they, the truck and the surrounding areas are safe and protected,” adds Hans Ohlsson. “We know that the main focus of fleets working in urban waste collection is to get each job done quickly and without trouble so they can carry on to the next one. As a stronger, simpler and safer crane, we believe the HIAB S-HiPro 230W will make it easier than ever to do just that. This is why we are launching it with the promise that this is a crane that will keep you moving!” Hans Ohlsson concludes. To get a first glimpse of the possibilities of the new HIAB S-HiPro 230W, attendees at RDD are welcome to visit the Hiab stand.
For all operations, controlled bolting is highly important. It ensures that the tightening and loosening of bolts are done in a controlled manner. If you rush through this process, then you could risk complications further down the line. If you correctly use a controlled bolting technique, then it can help you meet tighter deadlines and also has a number of benefits and advantages. Together, with Bolt Torque specialists, HTL Group, we cover the advantages of controlled bolting techniques: Improves SafetyFirst of all priority in any equipment, is safety. The controlled bolting equipment in this scenario can take away any unsafe actions of manual uncontrolled tightening. This is because the equipment requires highly-skilled and trained operators who follow specific procedures. Reduces timeBecause controlled bolting has an automated set-up, there’s no heavy loading and manual effort required. This means that fatigue won’t set in, which in turn would lower productivity levels. Not only is the manual labour a lot more strenuous on workers, it’s also a lot more time consuming for a human to do this task. Consistency When dealing with joints which have gaskets, consistency is crucial. This is because an even and consistent compression is required so there’s no damage and so that the gasket can work effectively. Human error is one of most common cause of error in engineering. This in itself would mean the task could take a lot longer. But, controlled bolting eliminates this risk. With this bolting technique, you can feel assured that you will be correctly operating every time. This is possible thanks to skilled operators using calibrated and tested equipment and follow specific procedures. Accurate calculations can also be provided by controlled bolting, which can help give the operator the required tool setting so that usability is easier. It’s essential to bare in mind before you undergo any tightening procedures, that give the equipment a full inspection. It’s also imperative to check the lubrication of any nuts and bolts and to make sure they’re flush against the flange. Be sure to check for uneven bolt tensioning as this can result in bolts being overloaded or too loose, a gasket leakage, and less than 100% tensioning. Even though controlled bolting is more consistent, time-effective and safe, you must ensure that you’re correctly trained in the method used.

Industrial plant personnel will need the help of industrial dust collectors to ensure that employees and the working environment is safe for general working conditions and to meet policies set by the regulating bodies. These devices can be quite pricey thus it makes it a prime concern for most businesses to take care of them to avoid any unnecessary part replacements. This article will present some tips to make sure that the industrial dust collector is operating at top safety performance level. Use deflagration Protection There are times wherein a dust collector handles dust that may combust. In cases such as this the industrial dust collector must be equipped with deflagration protection. A common, inexpensive and passive method is by use of venting. When predetermined pressures are reached inside the collector, an explosion vent opens which will then allow the extra pressure and fireball from the deflagration to exit to an area that will not disrupt operations nor will damage any devices. There exists flameless vent which consists of a casing that will include a panel of a mesh that can withstand high temperatures while also absorbing heat and flame. The way it will be used is by installing it over a standard explosion vent. Whenever a combustion happens, the vent will open while lowering the pressure and direct the fireball into the casing mentioned earlier. There will also be mesh layers whose job is to absorb the heat and flame while and then allowing a bigger portion of the pressure wave to pass easily towards a safe zone outside the working environment. The mechanism will allow venting in the conventional sense to be completed indoors. Otherwise, it may be able to endanger staff or add unpredictable secondary explosions. It is worth noting however that there are indeed other protection devices that currently exist in the market. Ultimately, the best recourse may be to work with your industrial dust collector expert or representative to search the best that fit your requirements. Study capabilities of your collector It is vital for plant staff to be able to understanding the levels of pressure that the industrial dust collector is capable of. Other important decisions that should be pondered upon are the specification and selection of vent sizing. By comparing these venting vessel sturdiness and matching it to the deflagration strength and vent burst pressure you will be able to effectively protect your industrial dust collectors from deflagration. Check the ductwork Fire protection agencies around the world will often have the same opinion. They will require that should be protection for all the ductwork and the safety processes upstream of the industrial dust collector. Configure the ducting in such a way that it will be equipped with a flow-activated isolation valve that will then function as a protection of downstream work areas and processes. It will be protected from the propagation of flames and the excess pressure ported from inlet duct when deflagration occurs in a dust industrial dust collector. During the occurrence of such deflagration, the pressure wave will shut the valve off which will then prevent any passage of fires, flames, and smoke up to areas far upstream from the valve. In this case, the valve will then latch shut and can only be manually opened. If the mechanism is activated, there will be components in the valve which can be damaged and only with a thorough inspection can suffice before returning the valve back into service. The hoppers should not be used to collect dust A rookie mistake that can be often done by most that are starting out in manufacturing is the use of hoppers as a means to store dust. It should be understood that the hopper’s sole purpose is for funnelling process dust towards the storage bins. The dust that would soon fill up the hopper will surely create a potential fire or deflagration risk. Another point to remember is that the dust in the hopper can also deflate the industrial dust collector’s performance by obstructing the system and preventing the pulse-cleaning from completing the task it was intended to. The self-dumping hoppers can be an easy dust disposal mechanism all the while protecting against unwanted dust leaks among the collector and hoppers. Pulse-cleaning controls is an option The industrial dust collector’s system for cleaning is designed to work in hand in hand with filter design. There are some cleaning controls that can provide an easy way to keep filters clean without the added hassle of having to maintain it on a daily basis. The continuous cleaning option can be used for the porous kind of dusts, that may included silica and other minerals, high dust loading applications like thermal spray or plasma cutting, or some of the lighter ones such as paper fines and fumed silica. There are also on-demand cleaning which are recommended for almost all of the dust types. There is a setting monitor that causes a difference in pressure from the clean-air section all the way to the dirty-air filter section of the collector. This will allow the operator to set a small range of pressures to be used and pause the cleaning of the cartridge. This setting can also use the smallest amount of pressurized air and can afford you the optimum filter cleaning efficiency and will allow the filter to last longer than usual. When all else fails, you can opt for down time cleaning which can allow for pulsing at timed intervals at the end of each operational sting. This can also be done after completing a batch process or after an disruption in the system that may diminish the performance of the filters. After the period, the unit can now be turned off completely. This is a vital capability because cleaning cartridges beyond what is necessary, especially during operation can not only cause higher emissions but can also shorten the life of the cartridges and force you to spend more on energy simply because of overusing of the
