Foam Protection<br />
A new drawer liner kit<br />
for Pelican’s 0450 case<br />
allows the end user to<br />
create professional-looking<br />
foam-lined tool drawers at<br />
a fraction of the cost of a<br />
fabricated solution. Each kit<br />
includes six shallow drawer<br />
foam sets and one deep<br />
drawer set. The foam sets<br />
are pre-cut to fit the standard<br />
drawers for the 0450<br />
case. Each shallow drawer<br />
set contains 0.75-inch thick<br />
black foam with pressuresensitive<br />
adhesive and<br />
0.25-inch thick foam. Each<br />
deep drawer set contains<br />
two pieces of seven-eighths<br />
thick black foam with pressure-sensitive<br />
adhesive and<br />
0.25-inch foam. The kits are<br />
packaged with tracing paper<br />
Compiled by <strong>KMI</strong> <strong>Media</strong> <strong>Group</strong> staff<br />
to use when mapping out<br />
each tool’s location.<br />
The Case Fit DL 45 set is<br />
made of the same closed-cell,<br />
oil-repellent cross-linked<br />
polyethylene foam that<br />
is used in the U.S. Army’s<br />
general mechanics tool<br />
kits. This durable foam tool<br />
control kit’s color combination<br />
is available in black<br />
over red.<br />
The Case Fit DL PE set<br />
is made of a non-crosslinked<br />
polyethylene foam<br />
material. This foam set is<br />
recommended for applications<br />
where transportation<br />
of the 0450 case is kept<br />
to a minimum. The PE<br />
set’s color combination is<br />
available in black over white<br />
foam.<br />
Facilities can reclaim up to 85 percent of the space<br />
used by traditional filing cabinets and shelving systems in<br />
existing buildings by using floor-to-truss space maximization.<br />
Remstar automated storage and retrieval systems such<br />
as Shuttle, vertical lift module and vertical carousels help to<br />
reduce the amount of physical space that is needed to store<br />
material while reducing business costs and optimizing the<br />
available floor space.<br />
By using automated equipment, facilities can often be<br />
consolidated into a single, more space-efficient facility, very<br />
often using less total floor space than what was required for<br />
storage in the other facilities combined. The floor-to-truss<br />
concept also works if new construction is part of the consoli-<br />
Floor to Truss Storage<br />
Power Stacker<br />
A versatile, fully powered PowerStak counterbalance<br />
stacker from Presto Lifts Inc. works with any style<br />
pallet or skid and is suited for servicing racks, loading/<br />
unloading trucks, feeding machinery, and other applications<br />
where straddle legs could get in the way. With a<br />
load capacity of 1,100 pounds, a load center of 15 inches,<br />
and a lift height of 62 inches, the unit has a short yet<br />
stable wheel base to maximize maneuverability in tight<br />
quarters on uneven floors and ramps. The tilt of the<br />
mast is adjustable. Overall height is 82 inches, overall<br />
width 32 inches. The forks are each 3 inches wide and<br />
30 inches long.<br />
The PowerStak Counterbalance Stacker is loaded<br />
with ergonomic features. The ergonomically designed<br />
handle puts all controls within easy reach for maximum<br />
operator comfort and convenience. Forward- and reversedrive<br />
thumb switches are located on both sides of<br />
the handle to accommodate left-hand or right-hand<br />
operation. An auto-reversing belly-bump switch protects<br />
operators from potential injury when walking the unit<br />
backwards, while an automatic brake immediately halts<br />
travel when the stacker is reversed. The polyurethane<br />
drive wheel is fully shrouded to protect the operator’s<br />
feet. Power is achieved via two maintenance-free 12-volt<br />
batteries. A 110-volt built-in charge is also a standard<br />
feature. Options include load backrests, a deep-cycle<br />
battery and forged forks.<br />
dation plan. Because of the more effective use of overhead<br />
space, companies can construct smaller, more energyefficient<br />
buildings, shrinking the construction footprint by<br />
up to 15 percent in some cases, conserving natural resources<br />
and reducing maintenance costs.<br />
Newly freed-up floor space can be converted for valueadded<br />
purposes. Operator productivity can be increased up to<br />
66 percent by using automated storage and retrieval systems,<br />
helping to reduce a facility’s labor requirements, energy<br />
consumption and carbon footprint. The systems can provide<br />
a return on investment in less than 18 months for many<br />
applications including tool and die storage, order fulfillment<br />
and consolidation, benchstock and many more.<br />
