Maintenance Matters July/August 2019 www.pwemag.co.uk Plant & Works Engineering | 17 SELWOOD has announced it has launched a new smart QR code system to allow customers to easily access comprehensive information about the equipment they have hired. Selwood says users of Smart QR can see health and safety, records, service information, daily maintenance checks, inspection documents and other reference information simply by scanning codes on the equipment using the camera on a smartphone or tablet. The system is especially helpful for contractors on large sites who need to keep track of multiple machines. Selwood believes it is the only plant hire provider in the UK to offer unique machine QR codes in this way. Pre-hire and service inspections, LOLER, and COSHH sheets can be found with just one click - removing the need for paperwork and keeping all important information in one place. w | www.selwood.co.uk/plant-hire As part of ongoing work to replace roof trusses in a Potash Storage Shed, A-V Dawson, a Middlesbrough based freight- logistics provider reports it has again used WINN & COALES (DENSO) Steecoat 100 SystemTM to protect the roof trusses from the aggressive materials being stored in the shed. The company says historical experience has proven that by applying Denso Hitack PrimerTM , Denso Hi-Tack TapeTM with an outerwrap of Denso self-adhesive PVC TapeTM to the roof trusses prior to installation, greatly enhances the life expectancy of the roof in the aggressive dusty atmosphere. A-V Dawson, founded on Teeside, Middlesbrough in 1938, is a freight-logistics provider operating a diverse range of haulage, warehousing and railhead facilities. t | 020 8670 7511 e | mail@denso.net Protecting roof trusses Smart QR code system Celebrating 50 years in the UK, LENZE has announced it will showcase at IMHX (stand 20C125), its smart motor solutions - a complete, scalable mechatronic drive system, combining motor, gear unit and electronic drive in one incredibly easy-to-use package.

Project lead David Aldred, is along with his team constructing ‘Longbow’ – a powerful jet hydroplane – at its workshop in on the Fylde Coast in Lancashire. Mr Aldred explained: “We wanted a welding system that was single phase, AC/DC and would weld aluminium as well as steel. As well as metalwork on the boat, we needed it for other applications such as engine mounting fabrication, pick-up points for lifting the hull and some of the engine cowling work.” e | info@esab.co.uk w | www.esab.com .
