Hydraulic gantries are a safe, efficient way to lift and position heavy loads in applications where traditional cranes will not fit and permanent overhead structures are not an option.
Mole-Master Services Corp., a leader in providing silo cleanout services and products to a broad spectrum of industries, donated a Junior 360H to Kansas State University (Manhattan, Kansas) for the university’s unique feed mill training program.

Martin Engineering introduced a more effective return belt tracking system that uses high-quality materials for easier maintenance and a longer unit life. Building upon the standard crowned roller, the Martin Roller Tracker uses a unique ribbed lagging made of durable polyurethane to increase performance and wear life. The roller does not come in contact with the belt edge, which means no fraying and excellent tracking for single-direction or reversing belts. The result is more centered cargo loading, less spillage and increased safety from the hazards of belt wander, leading to higher productivity and a lower cost of operation.
Flexicon introduced a new weigh hopper with a fill/pass valve for dilute-phase pneumatic conveying systems. Suspended from three small-scale load cells, the gain-in-weight hopper delivers higher accuracy than loss-of-weight systems requiring higher-capacity load cells.
