Hart Door Systems of Newcastle upon Tyne, the industrial door and security shutters manufacturer and market leader best known for its world-class technology through its leading brands such as Speedor high-speed doors, Firebrand fire shutters and Terror Screen and Typhoon industrial roller shutters, reports multi-sector success so far this year.
“Looking at a handful of current projects we are currently involved with international airports, automotive and general manufacturing, security and confectionary , many of which are major contributors to the UK’s economy,” says Nick Hart, Hart’s managing director.
“Clearly there are situations across all sectors where solutions to door and shutter requirements are similar but in very many cases solutions are uniquely different which is where Hart’s design and manufacturing originality is essential. We are delivering an important asset for our clients.
“Just as our clients thrive on innovation so must we. In particular the pressure on us all in respect of Climate Change means Hart has a crucial role to play through its leading Speedor brand which is in use throughout the UK and on seven continents globally,” adds Mr Hart.
Why is Speedor and its several sub-brands so popular with industry and commence?
“Apart from its proven track record over the years for energy saving and general efficiency, each Speedor can be customised according to specific requirements in addition to its general reputation for durability and reliability, speed of operation and in these times of Climate Change, a very important reduced environmental impact.
“Presently Hart is involved in projects at a major UK airport, a specialist manufacturer, a regional retailer, a national food ingredients producer and an overseas high-value retailer. “So from protection from storms to protection from villains, we deliver the right door systems for each project,” says Mr Hart.
Enerpac announces the LGH3100 synchronous lock grip system delivering up to 100 tons of hydraulic force for pulling medium to large size wheels, sprockets, bearings and other similar shaft-mounted parts. The puller’s self-centring closing "Lock-Grip" system moves all jaws simultaneously, allowing a single operator to safely handle removal of large wheels, bearings, and couplers with ease.
Removing large, shaft mounted, components that may have become seized and corroded can be challenge for maintenance operators. Dangerous practices such as torching, cutting and hammering are liable to damage expensive parts leading to maintenance delays and extended equipment downtimes. The 3-jaw LGH3100 Lock-Grip Puller gives operators the ability to detach heavy and stubborn, large shaft mounted components efficiently and without damage.
The 100 ton lock grip puller is mounted on an ergonomically designed rolling cart with a low centre of gravity that minimises the physical effort needed to position and operate the puller. The cart features large industrial castor wheels and pockets for use with a forklift. The hydraulic pulling power is provided by the onboard Enerpac ZE3-Series electric two stage pump and remote operating control pendant.
Removed components are captured and held securely within the synchronous locking jaws. With a maximum reach of 1219 mm, the smooth action, hydraulic scissor lift on the LGH3100 cart provides effortless centre height adjustment from 698 mm to 1679 mm. When both space and budgets are tight, the 3-jaw LG3100 is easily converted into a 2-jaw, 70 ton capacity configuration, avoiding the need to use valuable budget on a separate 2 jaw puller.
“The LGH3100 Lock-Grip Puller is the safe and productive way to remove large shaft mounted components without damage,” says Diego Rossi, Commercial Director Rail Markets EMEA, Enerpac. “The combination of a smooth action scissor lift, synchronized grip jaws and an intuitive operator station creates a stable and efficient pulling tool, allowing a single operator to remove, for example, large wheels, bearings, and couplers with unmatched ease.”

The recent supply by Hoist & Winch of a bespoke electric-powered winch to a UK building products company is allowing the safe and smooth lifting and lowering of a large telescopic export chute that loads heavy-goods vehicles (HGVs) with a media byproduct from the customer’s production process. Importantly, raising and descending takes place in a level and precise position thanks to adjustable turn-buckle jacking screws.
Conceived by Hoist & Winch, one of the UK's leading lifting equipment companies, a 400 V three-phase Haacon wire rope winch providing a swl (safe working load) of 1,500 kg sits at the heart of this innovative solution. The advanced winch offers a special triple rope lead-off design that raises and lowers the export chute via one vertically and two horizontally orientated diverter pulleys. A purpose-made frame and bolted connections facilitate mounting of the winch to the steel floor, ensuring level rope pay-off from the winch drum to the three diverter pulleys serving the system.
The final wire rope connection to the export chute is via adjustable turn-buckle jacking screws and swivelling eye bolts, a design that not only provides accurate chute levelling adjustment, but also extends the service life of the wire rope by eliminating any twisting action.
Winch control arrives courtesy of a switchgear enclosure and a two-button, single-speed, hard-wired pendant control station located remotely in an environmentally protected operating cubicle. Environmental protection is vital due to operating temperatures of over 40°C in summer months, as well as excessive dust in the atmosphere and surrounding work areas.
Continued ……
The new winch system, which replaces an original obsolete solution that had reached the end of its service life, offers a number of further beneficial features to the customer, many relating to safety. For instance, the winch has a pressure roller to ensure secure retention of the wire rope on the drum. This capability is particularly important in the event of a slack wire rope, which might occur due to accidental over-lowering of the chute on to the HGV bed, for example.
Further safety-oriented features include an inverter controlled winch motor to provide very smooth and slow speed control, and grooves in the winch drum to ensure even and secure wire rope winding.
Notably, the scope of supply provided by Hoist & Winch was extremely comprehensive, as Andy Allen, Director of Hoist & Winch, explains: “We provided all pre-installation survey work to ensure correct alignment of the winch, diverter pulleys and associated equipment. In addition, we performed installation commissioning and load testing, all field wiring and the issue of a LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) Thorough Examination Report for the complete system, including diverter pulley support steelwork. We take our responsibilities very seriously in all customer projects, ensuring the delivery of robustly engineered, high-performance solutions that are safe, reliable and fit-for-purpose.”
Delivered on-time and on-budget, the installation took place over a two-day plant shutdown. Hoist & Winch also provided thorough operator training on topics such as winch operation and control functions, as well as daily maintenance checks.

Hi-line Industries, a UK-based leader in the design, manufacture and installation of energy-efficient compressed air purification equipment, has established a new Technical Division that further elevates the level of support available to its valued nationwide distribution network. With highly qualified and accredited technicians, Hi-line’s Technical Division uses an unbranded fleet of vehicles whenever the need arises to provide support for a third party.
As an ISO9001-accredited UK manufacturer of class-leading air filters, adsorption dryers and air treatment ancillaries, Hi-line is a major supplier to the compressed air industry. One of Britain’s largest stockists and a proud member of the ‘Made in Britain’ campaign, the company has a responsibility to support its extensive distribution network, which includes compressed air service companies, compressor OEMs and local industrial suppliers/agents.
Hi-line’s new Technical Division employs only experienced compressed air treatment service personnel, with engineers trained in all aspects of compressed air and gas generation. Every technician is ACRIB (Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Board) registered and an approved ‘safe refrigerant handler’ in accordance with REFCOM (Register of Companies Competent to Handle Refrigerants). The company is also affiliated to BCAS (British Compressed Air Society) and works in association with DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs).
Continued ……
To support its broad portfolio of class-leading solutions for the compressed air industry, Hi-line’s Technical Division offers an extensive list of services. The servicing of compressed air dryers made by Hi-line and other manufacturers (refrigeration and desiccant models) is clearly a core activity - involving tasks such as filter element replacement, desiccant changes and condensate separator maintenance - but there is plenty more to Hi-line’s new service offer.
For instance, the company can provide air treatment total care agreements, energy audits (compressed air flow analysis), breathing air analysis, leak surveys, compressor data logging (with reports) and dewpoint measurements. In addition, the company has a long list of retrofit services available, including the ability to add dewpoint control to any make of dryer via the company’s high-capability AEMS (Automatic Energy Management Systems). Hi-line can also update dryer analogue control to touchscreen panels and provide dial-in retrofits for digital monitoring. Even pipework installations and modifications (including hygiene-grade stainless steel pipes) are no problem for the company’s Technical Division. Importantly, discretion is a priority whenever required.
“Many of our products are ‘unbranded’ at the request of compressor companies and other OEMs,” explains Hi-line’s Managing Director Steve Smith. “To support these products, we have an unbranded fleet of vehicles and can even adopt plain overalls and customer service report sheets upon request. Whatever your service requirement, we have discreet, well presented and qualified engineers to support compressed air treatment equipment made by Hi-line and others.”
