S T O C K TA K E J D Neuhaus (JDN) has developed an innovative and robust new concept for controlling hoists and cranes. The company’s JDN-RC (Radio Control) receiver is designed for long-lasting performance in rigorous operating environments commonly found in industrial and offshore applications, including ATEX (explosive atmosphere) zone 2/22 conditions. Featuring a solid and extremely compact receiver (w = 250mm, d = 120mm, h = 200mm) to suit even hoists with low-carrying capacity, all components are accommodated in a shock-resistant GRP casing offering protection class IP65. This means that the device is totally protected against the ingress of dust, and can withstand low-pressure water jets from any 76 May 2017 direction, thus making it resistant to seawater in offshore applications. Breathable membranes are deployed to help guide any condensation from the interior to the exterior. At the transmitter, single or two-step commands are supported by control elements that include a key switch, start and stop buttons, joystick, LED operating status display and LED low-voltage indicator. The JDNRC control allows users to work at a safe distance from the load and take a better viewpoint during operations. Here, the signal and selected command is transmitted and transferred into the controls of the crane or hoist by the receiver to ensure instantaneous performance. www.jdngroup.com EASY HOIST AND CRANE CONTROL HI-Q’S MOST RECENT ADDITIONS Hi-Q Components has been supplying plastic, electronic and industrial components to New Zealand Manufacturers for over 30 years. In the past few years, it has vastly expanded its product range. Included in the offering of new items is the European range of Martin Levelling feet. This extensive range covers requirements and applications for levelling feet for all machines and equipment used in many industries. These applications include packaging, food (milk, meat, fish, dairy, tanks, industrial kitchens) chemical, brewing, conveyors, material handling, electrical cabinets, injection moulding, CNC, lathe, mills, white industry, marine, green energy, scaffold, and fitness equipment. In 2015, Hi-Q introduced Kukamet toggle clamps. Due to high demand, this range has expanded to now offer a range of latches. Features include high quality galvanised steel which has been produced specifically for Kukamet. The cylinder used in the pneumatic clamps is one of the best in the world according to the company. Protector parts ensure there is no pinching of fingers and the plastic handles are food and health-grade safe. One of latest additions to the Kiwi made scaffold cap range is scaffold tube caps, and this complements the Hi-Q 3 -1 cap, scaffold tubes inserts and stud protection caps. If you have any requirement that Hi-Q cannot source within its stock range or from its many overseas manufacturers, the company can discuss options of tooling and manufacturing locally.
