MARENGO, Ill. (June 20, 2023) – Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas Group, the exclusive manufacturer and provider of UniCarriers Forklifts across North, Central and South America, today introduced the new Quad Mast options for the PD, BXC, Platinum II® Cushion and Nomad® Series. This new offering will replace current 3rd Party supplied 2-ton Quad Masts with masts that will be designed, fabricated and assembled in-house.

UniCarriers Forklifts Quad Mast is a four-stage mast that provides the highest reach due to its four sets of moving rails. These are designed for very high stacking in specialized warehousing and other industries. The new offering of Quad Masts on most popular trucks fills a gap for customers looking for higher lift capacities and provides customers with significant benefits including price competitiveness while maintaining the same capacity retention.

With the new Quad Masts manufactured in-house, Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas will have more flexibility to meet customer’s unique requirements. Updated spec sheets and revised mast and capacity tables are currently available on the UniCarriers Forklifts Dealer Portal for the affected models:

• PFD40M-PFD70M – The PD Series, available in 4,000-7,000 lb. capacities, is powered by an advanced diesel engine that utilizes a high-pressure common rail fuel injection system, cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and a Diesel Oxication Catalyst (DOC).
• BXC30N-BXC80N – An electric counterbalanced forklift series that combines a capacity of up to 8,000 lbs. and exceptional power efficiency.
• AF30-AF50 – The LP/dual fuel Nomad, with 3,000-5,000 lb. capacity, is the most unique vehicle of its kind and is ideally suited where both indoor and outdoor forklifts are needed.
• CF30LP-CF80LP – The Platinum II series of IC forklifts, available in 3,000-8,000 lb. capacities, comes with a reliable cooling design, service reminders and longer maintenance intervals that keep operations up and running by helping maximize uptime, while minimizing cost.

“We are excited to offer UniCarriers Forklifts new Quad Mast options,” said Niels Tolboom, director, North American Sales for UniCarriers Forklifts at Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas. “The new Quad Masts are a testament to our dedication to delivering superior material handling equipment and services."

As an industry leader with over 20 years of experience, Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas Groups continues to provide innovative material handling solutions that meet the needs of their customers in a wide range of industries.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

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. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

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.
