Cat® Lift Trucks announces its new range of Pedestrian pallet trucks, designed to provide continuous productivity - even in the harshest operating environment.

New models of Pedestrian pallet trucks NPP16 / 18 / 20N2 is completely new concept designed with a careful blend of power and performance to give end users the best possible performance at the lowest possible cost of ownership.

The rugged chassis construction and proven resistance forks provide enhanced durability and reliability even in the most adverse conditions, reducing maintenance requirements. For maximum reliability even in conditions of humidity; the high-performance electronic system of the pallet truck also includes waterproof accessories. The waterproof design includes a flanged support framework, which protects its components from moisture, dirt, dust and other particles, allowing operation outdoors and in all weather conditions.

Transport Show 2014 exhibition took place from 29th of May to 1st of June 2014 in MEC Paianias with great success.

One of the most comprehensive displays was that of  ELTRAK CAT. In an impressive pavilion, one of the largest in the exhibition, ELTRAK CAT presented the latest technology at Caterpillar forklifts and Palfinger cranes.

Professionals from a number of businesses showed great interest for the product line and its abilities. In addition to the impressive products on display, the visitors had the opportunity to discuss in detail about the applications and the solutions they can provide, with the sales representatives of ELTRAK CAT. They, also, had the opportunity to be updated for all the latest technological developments in the field of Transport and Logistics.

In the same kiosk, ELASTRAK, which focuses on truck tires and ELTREKKA with truck parts, were present covering all aspects and needs the business.

The generators and the UPS systems for standby power supply can have their application in any economic sphere in which the short-term outage or the low quality of power brings about great financial losses. In sectors such as tourism, industrial production, agriculture, banking, IT sector, hospitals, airports, telecoms, etc. these losses are particularly noticeable.

The proper selection of the equipment is one of the main factors in its effective use. This selection is usually based on the calculations of the electric designers and companies, however, the latter do not always have the required knowledge of the technical characteristics of the particular brand of equipment. In such cases, the designers spend an enormous amount of time in calculating the necessary standby power and sometimes provide for higher power in order to guarantee that the critical loads will be borne. This unnecessarily raises the cost of the investment and the installation expenses. For the purpose of shortening this process and calculating the power that is closest to the one necessary for a specific project, Caterpillar provides the free use of a Web-based software, which can be found by clicking on the following link: https://specsizer.cat.com.

The software is not new to CAT or its dealers, however, it has only recently been made freely available to electric designers, electric installation specialists and end users. This software enables an accurate and easy simulation of various alternatives for standby power supply for critical loads and optimization of their start-up. This software makes it easy to provide for different conditions of the environment – temperature, humidity, altitude, frequency – 50/60 Hz, voltage – from 110 to 13800V as well as various types of loads depending on the project. In addition, the programme is able to optimize automatically the sequence of starting up the loads, which is aimed at optimizing the installed power and saving funds in the process of installation of the equipment. For the users’ convenience, the software is available in several languages – English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Chinese. Those projects which have been calculated can be stored and changed, and there is an option of exporting the results as a PDF file and using them for substantiation. Ultimately, this saves time and guarantees the correctness and promptness of the investor’s judgement when selecting the equipment for the respective conditions.
