Specifics of HDS cranesHDS cranes have been on the market for a very long time, but it is only in recent years that they have gained in popularity. They are used both for loading and unloading various types of goods. Their compact design means that we can reach almost any location with their use. This is a feature that sets HDS cranes apart from other cranes.Technical supervisionCranes are more or less technologically and structurally advanced machines. Their fully operational condition therefore requires constant supervision and ...

Use of container handling equipmentContainer handling equipment is typically used in ports. They can also be used at points for the movement of containers with cargo. They assist in the smooth movement of containers.Who can operate container handling equipment?In order to operate the equipment, it is necessary for the person operating it to have the relevant authorisations to operate it.

Specifics of MIG/MAG weldingEveryone knows what welding is, but not so much MIG or MAG welding. Today, it is the most widely used method, covering 65% all industrial arc welding methods.MIG (Metal Insert Gas) welding is a method using only chemically inert gases such as argon or helium. When discussing MIG welding, it is impossible not to mention MAG welding (Metal Active Gas), which uses a chemically active gas. Let us remember that the most important thing is to choose the right form of welding, and this depends ...

Strengths of cranesThe last few years have seen a great development in the construction or industrial sector, which would not have been possible without these specialised machines. They are mainly associated with the construction industry, but they are also used in the construction of motorways or viaducts, as well as in the construction of high-rise buildings or railway stations. Their greatest advantage is their ability to carry very heavy loads.Machine specificationsBefore starting work, it is important to remember that these types of machines consist of fixed and variable parts. In the case of the latter, they must be adapted to the type of pr...

Synonymous terms for the MMA (Manual Metal Arc Welding) method are:Metal Arc Welding with covered electrodes;SMAV welding;111 welding.How should arc electrode welding be carried out?Manual metal arc welding (SMAV) is a process in which a permanent connection is achieved by melting the weld material with an arc of a fusible covered electrode, with the help of heat. The mechanism of welding with a covered electrode begins when the act of so-called contact, i.e. contact between the weld material and the end of the electrode, occurs. This is when the electrode starts...

Telescopic handlersFor construction or agricultural work, specialised tools and machines are often needed to make the operators' work easier and faster. Telescopic loaders are one of these. Let's take a look at their advantages and use.Construction of a telehandlerA telehandler is nothing more than a specialised forklift truck. With a basic division, we divide these machines into two types:frontal,rotating.In the case of the front ones, the boom is located on the right side and the operator's cab is unruc...
