SPOTLIGHT

> COMBi-CUBE: The new electric forklift from Combilift incorporates ergonomic features that improve handling procedures and provide driver comfort. The multidirectional truck’s bright green color is easily visible for improved safety. Additionally, the driver’s position in the center of the cab offers room and visibility. The angle of the telescopic steering column can be adjusted and the Grammer MSG65 seat, combined with hydraulic cabin mounts, provides a comfortable ride.

> AutoStore FusionPort and FusionPort Staging: The new workstations from AutoStore feature improved ergonomics for greater operator productivity. FusionPort has two tilted order- picking bin openings

and visual picking aids. These features reduce the repetitive movements operators make as they transfer inventory from one location to another, while streamlining order picking by providing visual cues with a pick-to-light system for easy item identification. The station also includes a safety hatch that makes the bins accessible only when the port is ready for picking.

> Roly Safety Gate: The updated pallet drop safety gate from Mezzanine Safeti-Gates protects both people and products. The Roly design includes a high-strength, high-visibility netting system on the ledge side gate that prevents products from falling from elevated storage systems. In addition, the netting on the safety gates prevents employees from getting their hands into the loading zone.

> Hyster Dynamic Stability System (DSS): The Hyster DSS comes standard on the A Series (pictured) , a new line of forklifts that offer configurability to match operational requirements. The stability system on the trucks lowers the likelihood of forward and sideway tip overs. The solution not only sends audible and visual alerts to operators, but automatically limits forklift functionality to promote safe operating practices in real time, while leaving the operator in control of the truck. Improving lateral stability, the system can dynamically limit speed when driving around corners based on how tightly the truck is turning.
