The Chinese Impact On Our Product

by Michael Patino on 2010-04-09 20:10:54 - Email This

Does This Too Sound Familiar?

"Notice Concerning Value of Chinese Produced Products"

"The Chinese currency, the Yuan, is undervalued. As a result the Chinese government is under pressure from the United States and other governments to raise the value of its currency. This is not a new phenomenon, and upward valuation of the Yuan has occurred before resulting in increased costs for Chinese product. An article in the business section of the Sunday, April 2nd New York Times reports that the Yuan is undervalued by anywhere from 12% to 50%. While it is highly unlikely that the Chinese government would allow a revaluation in this range, some percentage of increase is quite possible.

If this were to take place, XYZ Company (and probably all of our importing competitors) will have to increase prices at the time of the action, as we will not be able to absorb the increases. XYZ Company has not built the possibility of a currency increase into its current price structure."

STEEL & PLASTICS as well

Additionally, This quarter we have learned that steel will now be limited to quarterly contracts. Plastics will no longer be on Quarterly contracts. Spot Market will become the norm.

Indoff, Inc. will work with our suppliers to find the best resolve for these issues.

Southworth Products and Indoff will continue to furnish quality products and services at competitive pricing. We thank you for your support.

PalletPal roll on leveler

With internal hydraulic power, PalletPal Roll-On Level Loaders lower to floor height so pallets can be rolled on and off with a hand pallet truck. The lift is then easily adjusted by pushbutton or foot switch control to maintain an ideal height for manual loading and unloading. The narrow side and back panels allow for easy reach over for 4 side access.

Photo-eye provides toe protection
Platform locks in partially up position to allow relocation by means of a hand pallet truck
Available One-Touch Auto Leveling provides up or down adjustment by a preset increment at the touch of a button.
Optional turntable with ramp makes this an ergonomic choice.

Dual footswitches are pre-wired at opposite corners of the base frame for operator convenience.

The linear actuator means that it is clean running, no oil, nothing to spill and direct acting -- power up and power down with precise control.

Rotate / Restack Pallets

by Michael Patino on 2008-12-24 10:27:52 - Email This

Restack Pallets the Faster, Safer, and Easier Way with a PalletPal Rotator/Inverter from Southworth!

Restacking pallets or skids by hand is not only a strain on the back, but because it can take 20 times longer than a Southworth Pallet Rotator/Inveter, it's also a strain on productivity. Not only does the rotator increase productivity but it can also reduce Worker's Compensation claims or premiums.

4 Simple Steps

Add replacement pallet or slip sheet to top of load.
Place loaded pallet into inverter.
Use remote control to clamp and rotate load in about 15 seconds.
Entire cycle takes about a minute.

Specialized Lifting? ... No Problem

by Michael Patino on 2008-07-14 20:04:14 - Email This

personnel lift Scissor Tables or Lift Tables allow for smooth vertical travel of your product. You do not have to use a pallet on a lift table. In additional to solid steel platform, Southworth Products features models with a surface mounted turntable or with a roller conveyor surface.

Southworth can create lift tables that lower to ground level. These are ideal when you desire to load the lift table by pallet jack or hand truck.

Lift tables may be surface mounted or pit mounted. In special cases with floorspace constraints, we are able to combine two lifts to maintain a limited footprint yet achieve the high elevation that you require.

Contact Indoff with a description of the load that you would like to lift or handle. Our engineers will be happy to help specify or design a lift table that meets you job description.

Move from wooden pallets to sanitized pallets (food, pharmaceutical industries)
Move from rack-able pallets to inexpensive shipping pallets
Move from expensive import/export pallets to inexpensive pallets
Repalletize due to broken pallets or damaged product at the bottom of the pallet
If you do, then you have a great application for a Southworth PalletPal Pallet Inverter.
