Overhead Lifting Solutions
Cleveland Tramrail® cranes have kept Cardinal Glass moving for 25
years. Cardinal Glass CG installed their first Cleveland Tramrail®
system in 1984 to load and service its first glass coating machine. The
glass is coated in a process that sends raw product through a series of
cathodes over a long conveyor. When the 4600 lb cathodes need
maintenance or replacement, they need to be quickly removed from the
conveyor line and replaced to keep production flowing. "Using the
overhead bridge cranes to load and service the machines reduces handling
time considerably compared to using a conventional fork truck," said a
Cardinal Glass representative. "It is definitely a safer method and more
efficient means of servicing the machines." --- Read More

What's Influencing Warehousing
Decisions?
Warehouses are no longer static, dusty spots where goods are merely
shunted for storage. Instead, warehousing is a vital link in a company's

value-added tasks, and most importantly, warehouses are contributors to
profitability. The transformation has introduced many continuously
changing dynamics that impact today's distribution center sector.
Richard T. Murphy, Jr., president and chief executive officer, Murphy
Warehouse Company, reflects on some of the significant trends that will
continue to influence warehousing decisions and operations for the
foreseeable future, and offers some alternatives.

TS 5 Transfer System
WOOSTER, OH: The new TS 5 transfer system from Bosch Rexroth's
Linear Motion and Assembly Technologies group introduces a new class of
conveyor to the market. The system features an incredibly robust design,
suitable for harsh production environments and heavy transport of loads
