Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift America Inc. Adds Jungheinrich® Stand-Up Tow Tractor Model to North American Product Line

Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift America Inc. Adds Jungheinrich® Stand-Up Tow Tractor Model to North American Product Line

HOUSTON (March 22, 2016) - Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift America Inc. (MCFA), the provider of Jungheinrich® lift trucks and narrow aisle products in the United States, Canada and Mexico, today introduced a new 8,000 lb. capacity Jungheinrich EZS C40NA tow tractor to its North American product line. Jungheinrich now offers a full line of sit-down and stand-up tow tractors that range from 8,000 - 19,800 lbs. in towing capacity. Combining the latest generation of AC technology with advanced regenerative braking, this new model can efficiently run up to two shifts on a single battery charge for greater productivity.

"Jungheinrich products are designed for high performance and efficiency," said Chad Munger, product line manager at MCFA. "The new 8,000 lb. tow tractor provides several key benefits for our customers, such as greater flexibility to work both indoors and out, longer run times and precise control during operation. We're excited to offer this new series to our North American customers."


Distinctive benefits of the EZS C40 tow tractor include:

• High Energy Efficiency - Advanced Jungheinrich AC motors, combined with the latest generation of technology, provide outstanding efficiency with run times up to two shifts on one battery charge in most applications. The new model also boasts powerful acceleration speeds and quick directional changes for greater productivity.

• Precise Control - Electric steering provides greater control while traveling, while three pre-set, adjustable travel programs allow the tow tractor to be customized to suit most applications. The tow tractor also features Jungheinrich's proprietary Curve Control feature, which automatically reduces traveling speed when turning corners, helping to ensure greater control over loads.

• Compact Design - The EZS C40 is built with a shorter chassis for a better turning radius and improved control and maneuvering in tight spaces. The tow tractor also features 5.4 inch ground clearance and is equipped with super-elastic tires to provide operators with a smoother ride when traveling on uneven or rough surfaces.

New Jungheinrich products are supported by a one-year / 2,000-hour warranty that includes parts and labor, as well as components and systems, and a two-year / 4,000-hour extended Powertrain warranty. All Jungheinrich products are backed by the Parts Fast or Parts Free Guarantee that ensures next-day-delivery by 5 p.m., of Jungheinrich parts, or the parts are free, including freight, in the United States. For customers in Canada and Mexico, the guarantee ensures shipping of parts within 24-hours from the time the order was placed.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
