Increasing plant productivity, through efficient use of resources, is a key factor in the chemical industry today.
Manufacturing and logistics processes in petroleum, gas, industrial and agricultural industry segments often occur in the presence of explosive powders or vapours.
Nearly all warehouse and counterbalance trucks can be converted to work in ATEX rated explosive environments.
Desire for greater sustainability.
Increased usage of more capable electric trucks and alternative power solutions reduces environmental impact.
Whilst demand soars, production sites remain the same size. The concentration of pedestrian and truck traffic in confined space environment is getting higher.
Advanced technology and systems can help reduce lost time incidents.
Improving awareness of forklift truck drivers, and pedestrians working nearby, may help reduce incidents. Telematics system can aid in providing best practice operations.
There are many corrosive feeder materials alongside the classic saline solutions which can damage the trucks.
Corrosive materials increase truck downtime.
Engineered solutions to tackle the damage done by corrosive materials to some of the most sensitive areas of the truck.
From big bag to dynamic load handling, the chemical industry has some awkward loads that need to be manipulated.
Reduce load and infrastructure damage, increase productivity.
The right solutions to increase visibility of load on forks and truck stability will help mitigate the risk of handling awkward and dynamic loads.
Precision handling of valuable and fragile loads in areas of dense plant infrastructure.
Maintaining a smooth and safe production flow is essential.
Compact and zero-turning circle electric forklift trucks offer highly manoeuvrable solutions in limited spaces.
Collaborating with the chemical industry to create the solutions that deliver the results that matter most.
Met the specific operational requirements by providing compact Spacesaver material handler equipment with a high lift capacity, to support the demanding application.
Ensured the lift trucks were fit for purpose through a site survey carried out with the local distribution partner and forklift maintenance. Provided extra protection on key components on the space- saving truck to help ensure continued reliability.
Supplied highly manoeuvrable forklift trucks to operate in tight spaces. Standardised the fleet, helping operators to easily transfer between machines. Together with the local distribution partner, provided training for the lift truck operators.
Gas cylinder handling has many challenges including the need for an operator to drive with awkward high loads. Hyster working with industry customers has developed a series of solutions to help.
In Belgium, Antargaz distributes propane and butane gas in tanks and cylinders, and supplies natural gas. For both individuals and companies (industry, agriculture, hotels and restaurants) Antargaz has the right energy solutions.
