Safety First

Automation, collision avoidance and scale systems are a few add on items that increase equipment operation safety.

Manufacturers of cranes for the metals distribution sector are designing their technologies to provide greater levels of safety for operators, and offering improved data analysis.

Cranes and handling systems used in the metals distribution category have to be able to withstand the rigours of lifting extremely heavy materials, as well as the ebbs and flows of production which result in intense, peak periods of demand.

As a result, suppliers are increasingly offering equipment with enhanced safety features, plus the addition of monitoring tools that ensure operators can keep track of the safe working period (SWP) of their machines.

Customers are becoming more aware of the need to monitor how much of the design life or SWP of a crane has been used up, and how much remains.

IMPROVING RELIABILITY

Dovetailing with operator safety, reliability is also seen as a crucial demand from the metals distribution sector.

“Technology has to be designed for the peak use period during the day, which may often be three to four hours of intense production. Averages don’t really work in this sector!”

Juan Agirre, Special Solutions Business Unit Sales Director at GH Cranes and Components, notes that customers are increasingly looking for reliability, as well as robustness, high speeds, sway control, plus accurate load positioning and identification.

Projects GH been involved with in recent months include for steel manufacturer Acerinox, which was supplied with five cranes and a motorised hook to handle stainless steel coils with tong.

In addition, the company sold one automatic crane for handling steel sheets with an electromagnet to a steel service centre in northern Spain, as well as ten cranes for handling steel coils for the automotive industry for Gonvvama in China.

WIN-WIN TOP CUSTOMERS PROGRAM AND REGIONAL SEMINAR IN BANGKOK

Seminar in Thailand to present the technological innovations that GH Cranes incorporates into its equipment.

On 20 and 21 July GH organised a double meeting with top-level Thai customers to present the latest developments and technological innovations incorporated into our equipment. The meeting also served to give a broad overview of GH capabilities in the country and to introduce our integrated team in the joint venture we have with Peera Lohakarnlyon: LGH.

In another of the sessions, all the distributors from Southeast Asia, South Korea, New Zealand and Australia met together so that they could be provided with the same information that was given to the customers and with the aim of improving interaction by listening to their ideas and suggested areas for improvement.

The two seminars were held at the LGH premises in Chonburi and both customers and distributors could see first-hand the improvements to our new GHE17 hoist, the regenerative hoist and other technological developments that GH has incorporated into its products.

To round off, both groups were offered a tour of the production facilities where they were able to inspect the crane manufacturing process, as well as the quality standards and reliability requirements for our cranes.

The two events served to confirm the commitment of GH to this geographical area of the world and to acknowledge the presence of a great team of people willing to give the best possible service based on their proximity to customers.

It is only a small step in terms of the presence of GH in Southeast Asia, but a great leap for the stimulation of our activity in the area, which we are confident will bring its rewards.

WIN-WIN TOP CUSTOMERS PROGRAM Y REGIONAL SEMINAR EN BANGKOK

Seminario en Tailandia para presentar las novedades tecnológicas que GH Cranes incorpora a sus equipos.

Los pasados días 20 y 21 de Julio GH organizó un doble encuentro con clientes tailandeses de primer nivel para presentar los últimos desarrollos e innovaciones tecnológicas incorporados a nuestros equipos. El encuentro sirvió además para dar una visión amplia de las capacidades de GH en el país y nuestro equipo integrado en la Joint Venture que tenemos con Peera Lohakarniyon: LGH.

En otra de las sesiones se reunió a todos los distribuidores del sudeste asiático más Korea del sur, Nueva Zelanda y Australia para ofrecer la misma información que a los clientes y para logar interactuar mejor escuchando sus ideas y áreas de mejora.

Los dos seminarios se llevaron a cabo en las instalaciones de LGH en Chonburi y tanto clientes como distribuidores pudieron palpar “in situ” las mejoras de nuestro nuevo polipasto GHE17, el polipasto regenerativo y otros desarrollos tecnológicos que GH ha incorporado a sus productos.

Para finalizar a ambos grupos se les ofreció un tour por las instalaciones productivas en las que pudieron comprobar el proceso de fabricación de las grúas, así como los estándares de calidad y exigencia de fiabilidad en nuestras grúas.

Los dos eventos sirvieron para confirmar la apuesta de GH por esta área geográfica del mundo y la constatación de la presencia de un gran equipo de personas dispuestas a dar el mejor servicio posible desde la cercanía a los clientes.

Es tan solo un pequeño paso en la presencia de GH en el sudeste asiático, pero un gran salto en el estimulo de nuestra actividad en la zona, que seguro que dará sus resultados.
