We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Handling Equipment",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Gel batteries promise power without maintenance from
CMP Batteries, which we summarised at the time by saying "A new fleet of Linde materials handling equipment at the new Eurostar terminal in London is powered by Exide Technologies' Sonnenschein Dryfit gel batteries".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Distribution deal reached for gearboxes and pumps from
Group HES: "The Comer range is divided in to 21 basic groups, based on the different torques that are to be transmitted to the output shaft, which can vary from 0.5 to 65kNm".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Igus (UK)
concerning its Guidelok
- take a look at System controls energy chain
which says: "Each part of the energy chain is automatically fixed in place by the rocking mechanism as it runs through the groove".
Take a look also at the news release from Torqueflow-Sydex, Grinders cut solids down to size,
as well as Servo drive toughens up for military COTS duties from Copley Controls Corp,
and Battery company makes Bulgarian acquisition from EnerSys.
