Cascade ready for automation

Ecogen Recycling in the UK has purchased two new bale clamps from Cascade Corporation for its Alresford site.

Hyster-Yale Materials Handling has announced a €53.49M agreement to acquire Penta Holding SpA’s 50.4% stake in forklift truck attachment manufacturer Bolzoni SpA, which includes Bolzoni Auramo and Meyer (and Brudi). Penta is owned by the Bolzoni family, based in Piacenza, Italy.

FLT attachments specialist Cascade is offering a patented, lightweight anti-slip device to prevent nonpalletised loads such as pipes, barrels, metal boxes or cages from slipping, or to protect surfaces such as powered metal surfaces, anodised aluminium, etc. The device was developed by Cascade Italia Srl and is called DAGS, the Italian initials for “anti scratch and slip device.”

The woodpulp industry is highly competitive so port operators have to match shippers’ service expectations.

The attachments market may be in for a boom if suppliers can convince Asian FLT owners to invest in higher productivity equipment.

Partnership between the Port of Greater Baton Rouge and Drax Biomass expands on record wood pellets exports from North America to Europe.
