Expansion for acquired bevel gearbox range
Power Jacks Group bevel gearbox division Neeter Drive has a new home within the group's main site in Fraserburgh Aberdeenshire.
The company's factory has been based at Fraserburgh since 1903, and the manufacture of jacks first started in the 1930s.
During the past 105 years the Power Jacks product range has extended and developed to include screw jacks, linear actuators, bevel gearboxes and planetary roller screws.
Over this time the factory has manufactured its products with a variety of brand names, including: Consolidated Pneumatic, Premag, Duff-Norton, Precision Actuation Systems (PAS), Fortune Engineering, Neeter Drive and Youngs Lifting.
Consolidated Pneumatic and Premag branded models are no longer produced; but Power Jacks still manufactures linear motion products for Duff-Norton.
The other four brand names of PAS, Neeter Drive, Fortune Engineering and Youngs Lifting have been branded Power Jacks since 2002 when these companies were acquired and became part of the Power Jacks Group.
As part of its customer commitment, Power Jacks can supply equivalent or upgraded units for almost all screw jacks, linear actuators and bevel gearboxes carrying any of its past or current brand names.
All upgraded units offer the benefits of numerous design improvements that have been made to the products over the years. Request a free brochure from Power Jacks ...
