Nelson Equipment Co., Inc. introduces financial options to assist customers in achieving their ROI.

 

In answer to a need from our customers, Nelson Equipment is happy to announce its partnership with a leading financial institution specializing in lease purchase financing of material handling & related equipment.

 

This joint venture allows Nelson’s customers who are purchasing productivity enhancing equipment to have an alternative source of financing other than utilizing existing cash reserves, line of credit, or alternative financing alternatives.

 

Benefits include being able to take advantage of current Federal Tax Stimulus Incentives (see www.nelsonequipment.com for additional information) while not utilizing valuable cash or tapping into existing lines of credit giving customers greater flexibility in the decision and justification process.

 

In order to make it easy for our customers to investigate this alternative, we have placed an on-line application and calculator on our home page.  Projects up to $500,000.00 can receive approval in many cases within 24 hours.

Wildeck Announces New EdgeGard™ Dock Gates

Innovative Folding-Rail design protects wider openings and minimizes the required overhead height clearance.

Wildeck has unveiled an innovative new line of EdgeGard™ dock gates featuring a unique Folding-Rail design that protects wider openings than traditional dock gates and minimizes the required overhead gate clearance height.  Besides the new low-profile folding gate, Wildeck also announced a heavy-duty, Straight-Rail Dock Gate that the company claims, “. . . will out-perform the majority of competitive units on the market today.”

According to Hue Schlegel - Wildeck’s Director of Marketing, “We are extremely pleased to offer our new line of EdgeGard™ gates to improve loading dock safety.  They have been designed with Wildeck quality built in and are easy to install and operate.  When properly anchored, they provide an effective barrier for equipment and personnel working near open dock doors, truck loading pits, or other hazardous areas.”

Code-compliant Wildeck® EdgeGard™ gates have been tested to withstand the 200 lb. OSHA 1910.23 load force protection requirement.  For increased visibility, the gates have black safety striping and a durable bright yellow polyurethane paint finish.  When closed, the gates are 42” high (above floor level) and they are offered in four configurations to adapt to specific customer needs.  The heavy-duty EdgeGard™ Straight-Rail Gate is available for either 8 ft. or 10 ft. wide openings with the 10 ft. wide gate requiring 167” of overhead height clearance when raised.  The Straight-Rail Gate also features counterbalanced gas cylinders that make opening an effortless task.  Wildeck’s new EdgeGard™ Folding-Rail Gate is available for 10 ft. or 12 ft wide openings and requires only 116” maximum height clearance.

 Wildeck’s EdgeGard™ Gates feature a smooth cantilever action that ensures easy operation and reduces operator fatigue.  Convenient grip handles are provided for proper lifting and the Folding-Rail Gate has a rubber floor wheel that guides and simplifies movement.  When raised, the gate completely clears the protected opening offering unimpeded traffic flow and maximum accessibility.  When closed, the gate is held securely in place and does not move.

The addition of the new EdgeGard™ Gates expand Wildeck’s lineup of facility safety guarding products including several mezzanine safety gates, safety ladders, and a comprehensive portfolio of Wilgard® guard rail and related guarding products.

Whether an opening is narrow, medium, or wide - Wildeck offers a solution for safe, convenient, and fast movement of materials in warehouses, distributions centers, manufacturing facilities, storerooms, and many other applications.
