Wed, 07 Dec 2011 00:18:04 -0500

LED lighting gives the progressive electrical contractor the power to add value to proposals that bring long-term benefits to the organizations for which they work. Solid state lighting technologies are by far the most energy efficient in the world. They offer sizable returns on investment in the form of lower operating costs, drastically reduced replacement costs, and environmental benefits that give companies both tangible and intangible advantages in the marketplace. LED lighting is divided into two major categories. These categories are interior lighting and outdoor lighting, with a number of subcategories under each that represent specific product groupings. Some of these fixtures are highly specialized commercial lighting fixtures that are designed for highly customized applications. Some are better suited to new construction projects. Others are designed for retrofitting and remodeling work. Still others are luminaires that can be applied to a broad range of applications with the help of sophisticated photometric designs. LED lighting for building interiors has opened new doors for electrical contractors to offer a vast reduction in operating costs to their clientele. It is a well-known fact that LED interior lights reduce electrical consumption by up to 80 percent. **End Summary** Topics: LED Lighting]]> LED Lighting Fixtures]]> LED Gooseneck Lighting Fixtures]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> RLLD Commercial Lighting offers parking lot lighting and LED lighting fixtures

Street Lighting Poles, Fixtures, and Design for Commercial And Industrial Areas

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 22:07:05 -0400

Some companies provide turnkey installation of street lighting poles, fixtures, and design for industrial areas. Custom pole heights can be achieved by mounting them on concrete bases, or in some cases, having manufacturers cut them to custom lengths. We also provide the most energy efficient fixtures with minimum lumens depreciation and maximum lamp life. Turnkey services are available throughout Texas that include everything from the initial lighting design to final testing of installed, operating equipment. In many ways, this type of roadway lighting is more complex than what we typically see in municipalities. Many industrial facilities are located in very remote areas. While the site may be miles from any city, a sufficiently large factory, shipping depot, warehouse, or railway siding will more than likely have a very complex network of roads that require an array of interrelated equipment to illuminate to the specification of facility contracts and local and regulatory codes. It is very important, therefore, that street lighting poles, fixtures, and designs be carefully developed with a number of key considerations in mind. First, the foot candle density along the road should be what is actually needed. **End Summary** Topics: Light Poles]]> Street Lighting Poles]]> Highway Light Pole]]> Roadway Light Poles]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> RLLD Commercial Lighting offers energy efficient parking lot lighting , gooseneck lighting and street light poles

Experience The Savings That LED Bollard Lighting Can Provide

Tue, 11 Oct 2011 20:51:13 -0400

An American Embassy in a West African nation is a residential compound designed to host diplomatic events. The compound consists of a large house, several other buildings, a swimming pool, and a garden area with walkways. The United States State Department decided that they wanted to better illuminate the areas between buildings, gardens, and along trails. Prior to contacting a reputable commercial lighting GSA vendor, they decided that LED bollard lighting would provide the best level of light and operate at the most cost effective electrical rates for the task at hand. The challenges that the State Department faced was ones of choice and operability. There are many options in bollard LEDs that the Department representative had been informed of, but he was uncertain as to which one would be the most effective. There are purely functional models which distribute light at varying degrees and intensities. There are also purely decorative models which function more on an ornamental level. The other challenge lay in the realm of operability. In Africa, electrical current runs on frequencies of 50 Hz. Equipment manufactured here in the United States runs on frequencies of 60 Hz. **End Summary** Topics: LED Area LIghting]]> LED Parking Lot LIghting]]> LED Security lights]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> RLLD Commercial Lighting offers energy efficient parking lot lighting , LED gooseneck lighting and LED bollard lights

Skid Steer Brooms Clear Away Debris, Dirt & Snow

Fri, 07 Oct 2011 20:58:10 -0400

A skidsteer broom is basically a rotating broom that attaches to the front of a skid steer. It is used to remove various forms of debris from streets, sidewalks, roadways, driveways, and industrial areas. There are many forms of debris that create obstructions, eyesores, and safety hazards. During times of heavy rain, mud forms in puddles and dries on paved surfaces. Dirt blows with the wind in dry parts of the country, creating piles of earth that make transit areas uncomfortable and unsafe to walk on. In a work environment, this slows down process flow and often results in unsafe conditions for workers. Perhaps one of the biggest and most inconvenient forms of obstructions is snow. We think of big piles of snow as being problematic. However the light snow that a significant portion of the country experiences on a regular basis can be even more dangerous. What looks like only a little bit of snow on the ground is enough to cause slips, falls, vehicle accidents, and more than enough to grind industrial production to a halt. Clearing such obstructions with manual tools is laborious and time consuming. **End Summary** Topics: skidsteer attachment]]> skid steer sweeper]]> skid steer broom]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Easy Rack specializes in top quality Pallet Handling Equipment , Used Pallet Racks , and Gas Powered Trailer Movers

Gooseneck Barn Lighting Adds A Retro Look To Your Restoration Project

Tue, 27 Sep 2011 22:42:09 -0400

By definition, the term gooseneck barn lighting has traditionally referred to the lighting of agricultural barns with gooseneck fixtures. In the past few decades the term has been expanded to include other storage structures used in a number of vertical markets. In some circles, the term can even be used as a synonym for building lighting. The fixtures used to light these various structures range from a basic gooseneck lamp design to a radial lamp design that hangs down from the ceilings. Different light sources are also now available from a number of leading building light manufacturers. For example, there are several different fixture styles and lamp types that are used in lighting modern horse barns. Barns like this are found not only on ranches, but in urban areas where there is horse racing, polo, and equestrian competitions. These buildings need the best exterior lights for perimeter security. Inside the building, there is also a need for general lighting building wide, as well as individual stall lights for the horses themselves. Exterior gooseneck barn lighting fixtures feature the standard, classic goose neck design that these lights get their name from. **End Summary** Topics: Gooseneck Barn Lighting]]> Gooseneck Lighting Fixtures]]> Gooseneck Sign Lighting Fixtures]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> RLLD Commercial Lighting offers energy efficient parking lot lighting , gooseneck lighting and LED area lighting fixtures

Gas Powered Trailer Movers Improve Safety and Space Management

Wed, 14 Sep 2011 21:44:11 -0400

A gas powered trailer mover is a device that hooks up to a trailer and allows an operator to maneuver it in areas too narrow for vehicle traffic. Many items are best moved on trailers. While it is easy to hitch a trailer to a vehicle, it is not always so easy to get the vehicle to the trailer. Many times trailers are stored in a building, or in an alley way, that is too narrow for a vehicle to safely back into. Storing a trailer in a building or alley, after it has been unhitched from a vehicle, can also be a laborious task. How, exactly, does one move the trailer once it is disconnected from a truck or a van? Moving a trailer by hand is neither easy nor safe. Even small trailers used by homeowners can quickly throw out one's back, or cause one to slip, fall, and suffer injury. Commercial trailers are far too heavy, even when empty, to be manually maneuvered with any reasonable expectation of safety. The gas powered trailer mover features a service range of 17 to 27 inches. **End Summary** Topics: trailer mover]]> gas powered trailer mover]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Easy Rack specializes in top quality Pallet Handling Equipment , Used Pallet Racks , and Gas Powered Trailer Movers

Adjustable Gantry Cranes Can Be Used Indoors And Outdoors

Sat, 03 Sep 2011 01:31:10 -0400

An adjustable gantry crane is a crane that lifts uses a hoist fitted to a trolley to lift objects. The trolley is fitted to a horizontal beam, known as an I-beam, which allows to be used to move objects in a linear path as well as a vertical path. The I-Beam can be adjusted either with a forklift or by hand, depending on the type and size of the crane. Larger cranes cannot be moved from place to place. This can limit precision operations in many workshops that require a variety of objects to be moved, loaded, and unloaded on an hourly basis. Heavier equipment, too, is often difficult for only one or two persons to operate. Smaller, portable units are necessary to maintain efficiency, process flow, and general safety at all times. Specific crane types are also necessary for certain tasks. While any crane can lift an object and move it horizontally, this does not always provide sufficient control of the item. Objects suspended from a free hanging cable may inadvertently move in an arc. This can result in collisions with other objects, product damage, and worker injury. An adjustable gantry crane is much more stable. **End Summary** Topics: Gantry Cranes]]> Adjustable Gantry Cranes]]> Material Handling Cranes]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Easy Rack specializes in top quality Pallet Handling Equipment , Used Pallet Racks , and Adjustable Gantry Canes

Keeping a Fracking Sand Depot Facility Lighting System within Budget

Sat, 03 Sep 2011 01:07:10 -0400

A depot for the transportation of fracking sand asked a commercial lighting company to design and install a turnkey solution that was within the scope of its budget. The facility itself is located at the end of a mile and a half of roadway. It consists of 110,000 square feet of paved work area. Within the work area, stand several 80-100 foot silos that hold sand used in fracking, a process that extracts natural gas. Several buildings and a paved parking lot are also located at the site, and a small crew runs the operation. The sand is brought in on rail cars that load it into the silos. The roadway that runs through the depot loops back on itself, allowing trucks to line up single file, enter the facility, load the sand into trailers, and then exit in the direction they entered. A fracking sand depot facility lighting system had already been developed. However, the system was designed with equipment that was way over budget. Costly LED lights had been planned for the roadway lighting system, and there were twice as many industrial area lighting poles as were needed. **End Summary** Topics: Facility Lighting]]> Street Lighting]]> Outdoor Lighting Fixtures]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> RLLDesign offers energy efficient Commercial Lighting , parking lot lighting , and gooseneck lighting

How To Save Money When Buying Parking Lot Lighting Fixtures

Thu, 01 Sep 2011 22:49:20 -0400

Parking lot lights are an important part of many companies, which can sometimes be a little overlooked. Good use of commercial parking lot lighting fixtures can help create a safer environment for your employees, customers and business, while creating nice-looking surroundings. Of course, any parking lot, large or small, should be illuminated for safety and visibility first. An unlimited number of different types of flood lights can be used to secure the edge of a parking lot by removing the shadows along the walls, behind buildings and in gaps between store fronts. This can create a challenge for some contractors working in a community with strict laws on light pollution. Lighting a 6,000 square foot of pavement may require the use of 1000 Watt metal halide light fixtures to light the edges and entrances and distribute light evenly on the concrete. But if dark sky laws mandate strict containment of light spills, you will need to house these fixtures that have a variety of design options for accommodating semi-full/cut-off construction of the fixture. Otherwise the light will go into the neighboring houses and businesses, or even in the eyes of motorists. **End Summary** Topics: parking lot lighting fixtures]]> decorative parking lot lights]]> parking lot lighting]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> RLLDesign offers energy efficient Commercial Lighting , parking lot lighting , and gooseneck lighting

Electric Pallet Trucks Are Ergonomic And Efficient

Thu, 01 Sep 2011 17:21:14 -0400

An electric pallet truck is a pallet jack that is operated by battery powered electricity. It can either be semi electric or fully powered. Some models also have built in digital scales for weighing pallets. Electric units evolved out of a need to move larger, heavier pallets in a shorter amount of time. Historically, manual pallet jacks could only be used to move loads that were light enough for a human operator to safely maneuver them. Heavier pallets, and stacks of pallets, had to be moved with forklifts. Obviously, this limited operations that may have only had a limited number of forklifts that were being used for a variety of tasks besides that of moving pallets. Additionally, driving forklifts in the same area where workers are manually pushing pallets on jacks can be very unsafe. This was not so much of a problem in very large warehouses with plenty of space. For smaller outfits, however, driving forklifts in and out of the same areas where workers were operating standard jacks was inconvenient at best, dangerous at worst. Easy Rack sells a number of electric pallet trucks that feature different weight capacities, power differentials, and added features. **End Summary** Topics: electric pallet trucks]]> powered pallet jacks]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Easy Rack specializes in top quality Pallet Handling Equipment , Used Pallet Racks , and Electric Pallet Trucks

Invest In Jib Lifters To Improve Safe Process Flow

Thu, 25 Aug 2011 22:24:05 -0400

Jib lifters are a small type of crane used inside workshops, docks, truck beds, and cargo vans. The need for smaller cranes like this evolved out of the challenges associated with maneuvering heavy materials of different types, sizes, shapes, and weight in the limited spaces of warehouses and cargo vehicles. Many objects are too large to move by hand. Some are also oddly sized, making it difficult to move them by standard means. In a warehouse situation, space is always more limited than one might think due to the high volume of inventory stored there. Docks and truck beds have even more limited space, and hazards increase proportionally when loading and unloading materials. Jib cranes make this process simple and safe by combining lateral maneuverability with vertical lift. Materials can be moved up and down, side by side, or raised and lowered in an arc. This allows workers to precisely position loads in a timely manner. Proper use of the crane will minimize the possibility of damage to materials or injury to workers. Air balanced jib lifters can be portable, floor mounted, or ceiling mounted. **End Summary** Topics: jib cranes]]> jib lifters]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Easy Rack specializes in top quality Pallet Handling Equipment , Used Pallet Racks , and Jib Lifters

Manual Trash Compactor Reduces The Volume Of Metal Waste

Thu, 04 Aug 2011 18:07:35 -0400

A manual trash compactor is a material handling device that is used to flatten 30 and 55 gallon drums. It crushes the drum into the equivalent of a small, flat metal disk. Such a tool has proven invaluable to a wide range of facilities that are challenged with drum disposal on a daily basis. It is much easier to move a flat circle of metal than it is to attempt to dispose of a full-sized empty metal drum. Manual trash compactors work with a very simple design. The basic mechanism that operates the device is a manual ratcheting system. An operating lever is attached to this system. When the lever is pulled, the mechanism generates a compression force of up to 7,000 lbs. Ironically, this takes very little human effort to achieve, because the force is being generated by what amounts to a pulley system within the mechanism. Such power is more than sufficient to crush a drum without putting a strain on the arms and back of employees who operate these devices. The compacting plates that do the actual drum crushing can also be adjusted with selection levers to fit different sized drums. Additional features include tilt-and-roll portability. **End Summary** Topics: trash compactor]]> 55 gallon drum crushers]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Easy Rack specializes in top quality Pallet Handling Equipment , Used Pallet Racks , and Manual Drum Crushers

Discover How Aerosol Can Disposal Systems Can Save You Time & Money

Wed, 29 Jun 2011 14:06:03 -0400

The aerosol can recycle system is a time and money saving device that saves organizations thousands of dollars a year and prevents very dangerous pollutants from escaping into the atmosphere. Because aerosol can contents are so hazardous to the environment, EPA regulations do not allow organizations to throw away aerosol cans in the trash. They do not allow them to recycle them either with other scrap metals without taking certain very costly steps in advance. Shops must first relieve the cans of pressure and then pack them in a drum. A manifest must also be published that lists them as waste disposal. While this offers the environment a marginal degree of protection in landfills, it is only marginal. Furthermore the cost of solid waste disposal is very high for small and mid-sized companies who really should be spending their money on making money instead of complicated ways of throwing cans away. Both environmental concerns and high disposal costs can be addressed and reconciled with an aerosol can recycle system. This remarkable device turns cans into recyclable scrap metal, and in some cases, also makes it possible for liquids to also be reused. **End Summary** Topics: aerosol can disposal]]> aerosol can recycle system]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Easy Rack specializes in top quality Pallet Handling Equipment , Used Pallet Racks , and Aerosol Can Disposal Systems
