Aerial Work Platform (AWP) Truck; Provide Access to Inaccessible Places, Usually at Height

Image
  An aerial work platform (AWP) truck is a mechanical device used to provide temporary access for people or equipment to inaccessible areas, usually at height. An aerial lift is any vehicle-mounted device used to elevate personnel, including aerial ladders, vertical towers, articulating (jointed) boom platforms, extendable boom platforms, and any combination of the above. An aerial work platform (AWP) truck is specially designed to lift limited weights that are typically less than a ton and can be installed and operated by an individual. Aerial work platform (AWP) trucks are widely used for construction and maintenance purpose, as well as firefighters for emergency access. AWP trucks are safe and convenient, which make them useful for construction and mining, government, telecommunication, transportation and logistics, utility, and others. Some of the aerial work platform (AWP) trucks are light in weight and can be used in unreachable or remote areas for maintenance operations. Some

Gas springs has significant use across automotive, aerospace, military, and power generation

Image
  Gas springs are designed for several applications where high tension, extreme forces of friction, or sudden pressure are encountered. A gas spring also called a dynamic pendulum, is a device that, unlike an ordinary mechanical spring which relies exclusively on mechanical deformation to store potential energy, uses compressed gas stored in an enclosed piston attached to a sliding piston shaft enclosed by a flexible diaphragm to pneumatic potential energy and resist external force applied perpendicular to the piston's shaft. These springs are used in a variety of industries such as automotive, aerospace, military, power generation, and more. They have numerous applications including vibration control, high-speed transportation, and high-pressure turbine induction systems. The principle of operation of a gas spring lies in its design, which features two adjoining cylinders separated by a flexible second rod. When compressed gas is stored in the first cylinder, the spring's p

Microcell Basestation Construction involves installation of a basestation which can cover small areas such as commercial buildings

Image
  Microcell basestation construction is a set of techniques used in the construction of residential and commercial buildings in the world today. The number of projects that use this technique has increased over the years as more people find the use of the technique to be very advantageous when it comes to their projects. Microcell basestation construction is normally utilized when the area of the project requires protection against natural elements such as heat, rain, snow and wind. It is also ideal for projects that have a small footprint and the time it takes to develop such micro-mines is also considerably less than traditional foundations that need to be built from concrete or stone. The microcell basestation construction market is composed of many options, but there are two main categories that are distinguished by the price. One is the option which allows the homebuyer to create a private hidden cell in their own home and the other one is the opportunity analysis where the siz

Australia Lime; an Ancient Fruit That Has Been In Use in Australia for Thousands of Years

Image
  Australia limes are species of the plant genus Citrus that are native to Australia and Papua New Guinea. It is a distant cousin of the common lemon and has some key characteristics of both the lemon rind, yet none of its commercial counterpart's distinctive tastes or aromas. Australian lime is a seedless lemon that is cultivated in tropical rainforests. Its relation to the common lemon reminds many people of tangerines, and its resemblance to a grapefruit. Australian lime is often confused with other citrus fruits. The best way to tell the difference is to know the characteristics of Australian lime or desert lime, another familiar citrus fruit. Australia has six species of native citrus - without a doubt the most popular and cultivated is the Australian finger lime. They are found growing as an understory shrub or tree in the areas of the Bundjalung nation. In nature the plant reaches a height of about 6 meter (20 feet). Australia limes are widely use to brighten and compleme

Electric Linear Cylinders remain in high demand due to applications in window automation, valve operation, and solar panel operation

Image
  There are different types of electric linear cylinders including rotary cylinders, screw threads, ball & rod, ball & cone, piston, and others. They are designed for applications having high force to weight ratio, high speed, low energy consumption, and for applications requiring precision and functionality. Application designs are provided by leading companies and are used in various industries such as aerospace, power generation, petroleum, chemicals, transportation, metallurgy, pharmaceuticals, watercraft, and others. Some examples of application areas include cranes, wind turbines, marine applications, automotive applications, steam turbines, power generation, lubricants, lubrication oils, and others. They have an advantage over traditional piston and gear-based motor systems that makes them highly usable in high force to weight ratio applications. There are two main categories of high-efficiency electric linear cylinders , namely, open-loop control and closed-loop contr

Phenol Formaldehyde Adhesives and Laminates Find Application in Paints and Bonding Solutions for Flooring, Ceiling and Wall Coverings, and Others

Image
  Phenol formaldehyde resin is synthetic polymer formulation used in the manufacture of high-pressure adhesives and laminates for a variety of applications. It is also utilized to manufacture a range of products, including friction stirrers, solvent transfer tapes, adhesives for paper, fiberboards, dry lubricants, sealants for adhesive labels, chemical and paper weights, epoxy resin types, polyethylene and thermoset resins.
