VERLINDE electric hoist technology is providing an essential fall-arrest mechanism for the groundbreaking NASA Valkyrie humanoid robot being tested by researchers at the University of Edinburgh in the UK.
The newly expanded Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) in Australia is leveraging the benefits of the latest electric chain hoist technology from VERLINDE, including 24 STAGEMAKER SR5 D8 and 12 STAGEMAKER SR10 D8 models, along with corresponding STAGEMAKER Flight Cases. The investment was made in conjunction with the new expansion, when the new facility was also supplied with over 70 STAGEMAKER electric chain hoists installed throughout various new spaces.
By combining the new available options with wide ranges of loads and speeds together with a version with single phase power supply, VERLINDE, has doubled its powered winches offering with its new TIRLIFT 2 family.
RDM, a cardboard mill located at Blandec near Saint-Omer in the Pas de Calais administrative department, consulted VERLINDE in March 2017 to install a motorized VFM jib crane to handle its Big Bags. RDM produces different types of cardboard for all sectors of industry.
VERLINDE equips the three SGT production units in France and Algeria with handling and lifting equipment. Verlinde products ensure safety and reliability for a delicate process that requires the frequent handling of 2 tonne moulds that are as fragile as they are costly.
Eric Ghesquière, Verlinde's Maintenance Manager, has proudly borne the flag of his company every year since 2008, in AutoCross competitions. AutoCross is a sport in which any type of imaginable car can take part, even production vehicles. At the end of qualification periods that take place under the aegis of regional membership committees, a final national competition is held pitting the best against each other in a location chosen by the regional committees. Roanne was the venue for The French AutoCross Championship from 8 to 10 September 2017. Eric Ghesquière was ranked 6th out of 120 participants and his wins included an N3 class podium, in the 1,600-2,000 cm³ saloon car category.
