Heavy-duty capacity in mid-size truck<br />
The Fortis H170-190FT line<br />
of heavy duty lift trucks<br />
accommodates larger loads<br />
without a dramatic increase<br />
in truck size or expense.<br />
Models offer a longer<br />
wheelbase, more powerful<br />
drive train, and a mast that<br />
handles loads up to 19,000<br />
pounds. The truck features<br />
a heavier VISTA mast for load support during lifting and<br />
lowering. A turbocharged, intercooled Cummins QSB3.3<br />
turbo diesel engine provides 110HP at 2,400 rpm and<br />
305 foot-pounds of torque. The series is outfitted with<br />
an upgraded drive axle and an oil-cooled brake design,<br />
plus larger hubs to increase stability. Hyster, 252-931-<br />

Case erector for over-size corrugated blanks<br />
The Model<br />
340 case<br />
erector for<br />
large and<br />
over-sized<br />
corrugated<br />
cases erects<br />
and bottom<br />
seals blanks up to 45 x 42 inches at speeds to 30 cases<br />
per minute. Offered in both tape and adhesive-sealing<br />
models, the erector has an ergonomic, low-level case<br />
magazine for easy loading. The case feed accommodates<br />
warped or band-marked cases, while a mechanical, walking<br />
beam case transfer squares the cases. Simple, colorcoded<br />
commands for setup and operation are integrated<br />
into the line-side controls. All operating data is captured<br />
for production reports, analysis and trending, with complete<br />
production history available to pinpoint operational<br />
or maintenance issues. A-B-C Packaging Machine, 800-<br />

Ergonomic pallet handling<br />
For pallet handling, UniLift enables transport and ergonomic<br />
positioning of a standard 40 x 48 inch pallet without<br />
straddling it. A worker can pick up a pallet or skid,<br />
transport it to the work area, and ergonomically position<br />
the load. An electronically deployable outrigger gives<br />
the lift handling and steering characteristics similar to a<br />
pallet jack. The pallet can be raised up to 34 inches off<br />
the ground. Bishamon Industries, 800-358-8833, www.<br />

System restores motive batteries<br />
A one-hour process of sulfation elimination restores leadacid<br />
motive batteries to like-new condition. Restoring<br />
previously unserviceable batteries eliminates waste and<br />
replacement cost while reducing recharging expenses by<br />
10% to 25%. The portable system may be used without<br />
requiring the battery to be sent off-site. The process creates<br />
a voltage spike by switching on and off a DC current.<br />
Using an instrument panel, the operator matches the<br />
signal’s peak amplitude to the characteristics of each battery,<br />
making it useful for individual motive battery cells of<br />
2-volts, or an entire battery bank of up to 80-volts.<br />
