Supply Chain Cost Reduction - Approach
With Aggression, Intelligence
All businesses are being asked to cut costs in this economic crisis,
but the tendency to use scissors instead of a scalpel will not increase
profitability. An aggressive, yet intelligent, approach to supply chain
cost reduction is the best way to survive and emerge even stronger once
conditions improve. "Cut, cut, cut is simply not a successful
strategy," says Jim Tompkins, President and CEO of Tompkins Associates,
a global supply chain consulting firm. "I see companies today making
cuts across the board without understanding where their real
profitability lies, and this inevitably leads to stagnation and
declining profits."

T-Handled Power Mover Maximizes
Control
NEEHAH, WI: The new T-handled, cordless CartMover™ from
Appleton Manufacturing maximizes control, maneuverability and operator
comfort while safely and securely moving heavy loads on wheels. Dual
hand grips with protective guarding and built-in throttle allow for
two-handed operation and greater control over steering and
maneuverability. The battery-powered, T-handled CartMover operates
similar to a pallet jack. All controls are conveniently located on the
T-handle. A red belly button safety switch between the hand grips turns
the mover off if it pushes against the operator. A push-pin at the base
of the unit easily locks the T-handle at a steeper angle for operation
in tight quarters. Tool-free battery changes take as little as 10
seconds. The CartMover comes standard with a battery recharging station
and the choice of one hitch. --- Appleton Mfg.

Zero Level Lift & Tilt
WALLED LAKE, MI: New Zero Level Lift and Tilt provides an easy
method for loading material onto a lift table using a pallet jack. No
need to wait for a fork lift or spend money on expensive floor
excavation. The lift's platform is only 3/8" lowered and the lift
travels 25.5 inches. The tilt can be operated independently of the lift,
positioning materials perfectly within the operator's reach for better
ergonomics. The 2,000 lb capacity lift and tilt is controlled easily
with a joystick controller on a pedestal. Roller wheels are captured to
prevent the lift table from tipping, and internal anchoring holes are
provided to secure the lift to the floor. Safety skirting is available.
Herkules' engineering team can customize the Zero Lift and Tilt to solve
a customers' specific material handling need. The platform dimensions,
the tilt's retaining corners, and other features can be specified into a
design that provides a solution for improving the customer's
productivity. Herkules' pneumatic lift systems are virtually
maintenance-free, with no messy fluids or costly cylinders to replace.
