A-Ward introduces container tilter.* New Zealand-based A-Ward Attachments has introduced the ACT series of self-contained container tilting units. The container tipper is designed to ease loading of bulk products into containers. Container and trailer chassis are backed into the unit, and the container is locked at eight points onto the tilter's lifting arms. The tilter hydraulically raises the container from 0 to 90 degrees for loading with a loader A program routine that copies a program into memory for execution. , material handler A software routine that performs a particular task. It often refers to a routine that "handles" an exception of some kind, such as an error, but it can refer to mainstream processes as well. The term is typically used in operating systems and other system software. and conveyor Conveyor A horizontal, inclined, declined, or vertical machine for moving or transporting bulk materials, packages, or objects in a path predetermined by the design of the device and having points of loading and discharge fixed or selective. . Simon Ward, A-Ward Attachments Ltd. director and chief engineer, designed the unit after listening to several customers complain about their current container loading systems' lack of safety and efficiency. "Overwhelmingly, people needed a faster way to load containers without putting operators and laborers in harm's way harm's way n. A risky position; danger: a place for the children that is out of harm's way; ships that sail into harm's way. ," he says. More information is available at www.a-ward. co.nz. |
