Dear readers! In September the CeMAT RUSSIA exhibition was held, which showed everyone that innovations and robotics are increasingly penetrating the logistics industry. We can safely say that many technologies are tested here, and only then they go out into the world. However, it is not only CeMAT RUSSIA that demonstrates the prevalence of the digital agenda.
Dear readers! This is the ninth issue of the journal, which turned out to be very rich and diverse. Traditionally, the issue is opened by an analyst. The material by Alina Nasyrova from the Market Guide Agency, dedicated to investments in warehouse complexes in Russia, recalls the importance of developing logistics infrastructure for the integrated development of regions.
Dear readers! We present to your attention the eighth issue of the magazine and its materials.
Guideline for the interface between industrial trucks and attachments
Frankfurt, 11 July 2016 – More than 80% of counterbalanced lift trucks and a great many other industrial trucks are used today with attachments. Although the mechanical connection of front-mounted attachments has been standardised, this does not yet apply to the hydraulic attachment. Representatives of various industrial truck and attachment manufacturers in the VDMA have therefore joined forces to produce a guideline to facilitate the hydraulic connection of attachments to industrial trucks made by different manufacturers.
The guideline applies to industrial trucks with fork arms as per ISO 2328, lifting capacity class 1-5, also in combination with attachments fitted directly to the mast (integrated attachments).
