SofTak is a water-based product that increases the "angle of skid" of paper. Used on slip or tie sheets, it can prevent slipping of items including palletized loads, boxes, and furniture. It can also be used as temporary flooring where skid resistance is critical. SofTak is easy to apply, is gluable with a wide range of hot-melt or water-based cold-set adhesives, and is print-receptive. It will keep a product from skidding at angles between 30 and 45 degrees, depending in part on the application rate. When SofTek dries, it has a suede-like feel and can be used as packaging material.

Designed for use with Remstar's horizontal carousel systems, this workstation can improve throughput, productivity, and accuracy levels. The operator places the workstation in front of a put-light array and can load it with up to 16 totes. Light modules indicate which totes are active and the quantity to be placed inside them. The operator then picks from the horizontal carousels to load the totes. Once the batch is complete, the cart can be wheeled to another picking zone, consolidation, or shipping area.

The bump-open, self-closing Quantum door combines advanced panel design and construction with low-wearing hinges and corrosion-resistant mounting hardware to achieve long-term durability and structural integrity. The rugged door features a one-piece, rotationally molded polyethylene "shell." This design offers resistance to moisture, dust, and chemicals as well as to any impact from motorized equipment, hand carts, and other material handling equipment. To further ensure high performance, the door shell is injected with urethane foam for structural rigidity. A steel tube is encased in the foam along the spine for additional bracing and stability. Extra benefits of the foam fill are excellent sound and thermal insulation properties. Low-wearing helix cam hinges allow for 125º of swing in both directions.

Offering a capacity of 4,500 lbs., the SMX45 walkie, low-lift pallet truck can be programmed for up to 10 operating modes that can be controlled by PIN entries from the keypad on its control handle. The modes can be used to limit operating performance for new operators and in congested areas, yet provide maximum speed and productivity when required. A "Turtle Torque" function provides a power boost to climb obstructions while an anti-roll system prevents unintended rolling in tight spaces and on inclines. A battery discharge indicator allows for close management of truck operation and minimizes the possibility of component or battery damage due to operation at low-voltage levels. Other features include a comprehensive service display, time-out function, and controller access network technology to log operating and maintenance records and diagnose problems.
