PRODUCT OF THE WEEK
Gorbel's Tether Track™ Rigid Rail Fall Arrest Anchor Systems are a reliable, cost-effective way to protect employees working in elevated environments. Tether Track™ systems stop the fall sooner than wire rope systems, and reduce the risk of secondary injuries. Standard systems are designed to support multiple workers, each weighing up to 310 lbs. Custom Free Standing, Jib, Fold-Away, Outdoor, and Higher Capacity systems are also available.

Tether Track™ systems are designed to exceed OSHA 1926 Subpart M Construction standard and ANSI Z359 Fall Protection Code. They feature an enclosed track design that is engineered for easy movement, and support the full impact of falls both vertically and at a 30° angle. Our cold rolled steel track keeps dirt and dust from settling on the rolling surface, giving you smooth and consistent ease of movement.

Powered Pallet Positioners
PORTLAND, ME: Southworth Products Corp announces the addition of two new models to their popular line of PalletPal® Level Loaders. The new units are powered and allow operators to precisely position loads at the most comfortable working height. Unlike automatic level loading devices that require loads to be uniform, Powered PalletPal units work with non-uniform loads, making them ideal for manual palletizing applications where loads, weights, pallet sizes or product dimensions vary greatly. Loads weighing up to 4,000 lbs. are adjusted by means of a simple footswitch. Pallets can also be rotated on the PalletPal's turntable to allow operators to always be working on the nearside of the load, eliminating walking around the pallet. Two configurations are available, Pneumatic (airbag) or Hydraulic. Both are available in 2,000 and 4,000 lb. capacities. --- Southworth Products Corp.
