In almost all of the modern warehouses and industrial environments, the most frequently encountered material handling equipment includes forklifts, pallet jacks, conveyor systems, and automated storage-and-retrieval systems (ASRS). Among these, forklifts often stand out as the workhorses of day-to-day operations, used for lifting and transporting goods over short to medium distances. Pallet jacks, both manual […]

EN 1627 is a European standard that establishes testing procedures and performance criteria to classify the burglar resistance of doors, windows, shutters, and similar building elements. In practical terms, it sets out how well a door or window can resist different methods of forced entry, giving manufacturers and consumers a measurable benchmark to gauge security […]

How much timber can a logging truck carry? The exact capacity varies by region and vehicle configuration, but a typical logging truck operating under standard highway regulations can often transport between 20 and 40 metric tons of timber per load. In some regions with specialized vehicles and favorable regulations, these trucks may carry closer to […]

When it comes to safeguarding modern buildings, several European Norm (EN) standards specifically address safety and security requirements. Among the most prominent are EN 60839-11-1, EN 50133, EN 179, EN 1125, EN 13637, EN 50131, and EN 54, all of which cover diverse aspects from electronic access control systems to emergency exit hardware and alarm […]

All vehicles experience increased aerodynamic drag from any external object mounted on their roof, thereby reducing fuel efficiency or electric range. However, the degree of that impact can differ across vehicle types and powertrains. Gasoline and diesel cars (ICE vehicles) might see a more modest relative drop in miles per gallon (MPG) since they have […]

Digital access control in buildings offers a host of advantages that significantly enhance security, convenience, and regulatory compliance. Unlike traditional locks that rely on physical keys—often easy to lose, copy, or forget—digital systems provide centralized management of entry permissions. This makes it straightforward to add or remove individual access rights in real time, which is […]
