Zarges, a premium access technology and logistics equipment specialist, will be showcasing its latest innovations at this year’s LogiMAT  (10-12 March 2020, Stuttgart).

From the safe transport of sensitive goods to ensuring safety while working at height, Zarges will be presenting a series of new products to shore-up safer work, transport and storage from stand B05, Hall 5.

Among the solutions being demonstrated at LogiMAT include the PaxTower folding scaffold unit, the LiftMaster U aerial work platform and Zarges’ brand-new customer-orientated digital service. Alongside the opportunity to trial the new products for themselves, attendees will also be able to get frontline technical advice and guidance from members of Zarges’ expert team.

LogiMAT will also serve as the platform for the launch of a brand new toolbox from Zarges, designed to deliver greater innovation and ergonomic handling for mechanics. Fitted with castors and a pull-out handle for maximum convenience, the toolbox can double as a secure transport container for carrying high-end tools while on the road.

The KION Group, which has Linde and STILL forklifts in its stable, has selected Trelleborg Wheel Systems as  preferred main supplier for non-marking tyres in the European market.

The premium range of Trelleborg’s non-marking resilient solid tyres for the fleets of the KION Group features the Pit Stop Line, a revolutionary solution providing an unmissable visual indicator when a tyre needs replacing. Once a tyre has worn down to a point when there are about 100 hours of tyre life left, a bright orange line appears on its surface. The replacement tyres can then be fitted at the most convenient time. As a true innovation, says the company, it has the potential to have a transformational effect on forklift operations, helping to minimize downtime, tyre waste and whole life costs.

Also available for the truck fleets of the KION Group are the new ProTEX tyres made of a 100% nonmarking electrically conducting compound engineered for use on counterbalanced forklift trucks operating in potentially explosive environments. ProTEX is compliant with EN1755 safety regulations and safer than fixed earthing strips. The tyre can be used safely on material handling equipment applications where this is flammable gas, vapour, or dust.
