Solid Gear
Safety Shoe
Solid Gear safety shoes are said to combine materials for comfort, protection and durability. The range features Gore-Tex Surround Technology for all-round breathability, as well as ETPU sports footwear performance that delivers footbed energy return to “really put a spring in your step”.
In addition, the Vibram outsoles and Cordura Rip-Stop fabric in other styles are designed to deliver rugged protection all day long. The Gore-Tex Fabric Technology also makes the footwear water repellent and waterproof to keep the feet dry. Lastly, the BOA Closure System on certain styles distributes pressure evenly across the feet to ensure a glove-like fit.

Hyundai Material Handling
E-forklifts
With a focus on comfort, performance and reduced fuel consumption, Hyundai has re-engineered the U series of its electrically driven three- and four-wheel forklifts. New features include the Zapi controls of the ACE series in addition to Schabmüller drive motors and ZF wheel gears. An improved and gentler control of the motors is realised thanks to Zapi ACE controls with protection class IP 65.
The built-in electrical steering only uses energy when the steering wheel is operated, meaning that power consumption is reduced by up to 33% whilst an electromagnetic parking brake activates automatically when stopping.

RWC — Reliance Valves
Easifit TMV
TMVs are now a requisite for properties of all types and for any hot water outlets undergoing a ‘change of use’ by law, and the Easifit TMV from Reliance Valves — an RWC brand — claims to solve this challenge.
Ultra-compact and lightweight, the Easifit TMV’s small footprint lends itself to being fitted in tight spaces. It is easy and quick to install, and its flat faced union connections make any future maintenance simple and efficient. Designed to run at exceptionally low flow rates, the WRAS-approved TMV reduces the risk of scalding and eliminates bacteria growth by enabling hot water systems to run at higher temperatures.
