You pay cut? .. Perhaps you are not in the worst position ...

Requests will have to reduce staff and industrial companies. Employers now offer his revenue by 15 - 28% lower than a year ago (here, data on wages are taken by the example of Western companies in Russia).If, before the crisis, a technical engineer earning from 30 to 70 thousand rubles per month, now - from 25 to 60 thousand rubles. Wages of service engineers, designers and engineers decreased by 20%, regional representatives - 28%.

In the field of IT and telecommunications fall in wages was about 30%.Now programmers 1C employers offer income by 33% lower than a year ago, web-programmers - 30% lower. Systems Analysts, employers are willing to pay no more than 55 thousand rubles., While a year ago, their wages will reach 75 thousand rubles. This decline in wages, according to analysts, is related to the recovery competitor demand for the position. Also in the "IT / Telecommunications" in the beginning of this year's float for the observed narrowing of wage levels.

Wages in the logistics sector declined by an average of 10%, but still remained at a very high level. In doing so, managers have reduced staff salaries, and their left at the same level. An employee at the «head of warehouse activity» in the year, as in the past, worked at a rate of 80 - 160 thousand rubles., Commercial director of the warehouse receives, as before, from 250 to 500 thousand rubles. Salary store managers to work with key clients declined to 120 thousand rubles with the previous 160 thousand rubles. Simple warehouse manager, the employer is willing to offer 60 to 100 thousand rubles. But before the crisis, this amount reaches 120 thousand rubles.

In the real estate sector, construction and development decreased wages middle-level managers, but the salaries offered by ordinary professionals, on the contrary, increased. According to experts, this is due to the scarcity of traditional high-quality engineering staff in this market segment. Wages Main engineers fell from 160 to 130 thousand rubles. Director of construction today can claim up to a maximum of 150 thousand rubles. instead of 220 thousand rubles. a year earlier, but a simple architect can already count to 65 thousand rubles. on the upper plate instead of last year's 60 thousand rubles. Chief architect for the project this year, employers are willing to offer 80 to 120 thousand rubles. instead of 70 - 100 thousand rubles earlier, the salaries of engineers, designers and quantity have increased by more than 20%.

Pattern of demand on the lease of loaders and cost of lease of loaders

Demand on the favour of lease of loaders as compared to a that interval the last year on the estimations of company increased approximately in 3 times.

At the lease of loaders most popularity both loaders use with DVS (especially, with a gas engine) and electrically-driven by a carrying capacity 1.0-5.0 tons. Popularity of choice of loaders with DVS related to that they can work both inwardly and out of storage facilities. Lately there is stormy growth of demand on the lease of elektrical forklifts, but their stake among loaders, lettable, there is small.

Large demand is produced on the lease of heavy loaders on a short period, for example, by reason of valid (rarely) for one occasion receipt of large party of equipment, when a requirement is in the earliest possible dates to process a load.

Exemplary average cost of lease of 1,5 t of diesel loader with standard 3 makes a meter mast (types STD or FF) 1000-1500 rub in a day, at a term to 30 days. As a rule, than anymore term of lease, the its cost goes down for a day. A final price is set in every case individually and depends on many factors, major from which term of lease, amount of ascable technique, carrying capacity of loader, type of drive, state of lettable technique, depth uses, external environments, character of loading works, requirement in an additional specific add equipment, presence of driver/operator and other.

Companies which on the sort of activity and/or from low turnover use the favour of lease on short space (to month), ask a technique with a driver/by an operator: on permanent basis such technique does not need them. Their number makes near 50% from a number all persons interested to take advantage of lease of forklifts.

Komatsu comes to China

«Komatsu Forklift Co.» prepares to the polnomasshtabnomu going into the Chinese market, planning to begin the production of the fork loaders in China already to October, 2009

To 2010 this Japanese company going, will increase the number of the dealers in China from 15 to 30. 

Present today 15 dealers «Komatsu Forklift Co.»concentrated in off-shore south districts around Guanchzhou and Shankhaya. But, in obedience to the present plans of expansion at the Chinese market, a company wants to provide oneself dealers in the north and ...

Fork truck for large cargo

To date, the deficit and the high cost of land, storage facilities and, accordingly, give a push to reduce mezhstellazhnyh passages and increase the height of storage.
To work in such conditions is an effective use of light warehouse equipment. This category includes hydraulic trucks, hand stackers, self-electric, high richtraki and commissioners. They are more effective to work in warehouses with narrow mezhstellazhnymi us, but few are adapted to work outdoors away from the warehouse, because they are small diameter wheels, a small clearance, and require a level floor. Their use provides an opportunity to save almost 1 meter wide passages between the shelves.
(By the way, is different from the stacker trucks, primarily the lack of a counterweight.)
Hand hydraulic stacker lifts cargo up to 2.5 meters, to serve the three-rack stackers are already required to electro-lift.
With a large cargo optimal would be a self-engineering - «povodkovyh» stackers, which can be additionally equipped with a folding platform to move on it the operator.
Stackers with a special cabin for the operator have a higher speed and recovery, as well as gruzopodmnost and lifting height up to 6,5 m. But they require increased travel.
By the way, the advantage of Japanese technology is the fact that it is not unexpected in stock gruzopademnosti.
Very flexible to work at the moment are with the rotary fork stackers for handling triangular.
The most «powerful» in storage are Rich-tracks for the height to 12 meters, high-speed lifting and movement.

loading and unloading equipment

More recently, transport of goods in the warehouse was carried out manually. Today the same day, the warehouses are characterized by a high degree of mechanization. Thanks to the use of lifting equipment has increased productivity and streamline work.
The most used and versatile technique for working in the warehouse are the handlers. They are related to loading and unloading equipment, and not to the warehouse. When choosing diesel or petrol forklifts must be remembered that in a closed and poorly ventilated, they can pose a threat to the health of drivers. But trucks with internal combustion engines less whimsical and more suited for work on the street.
When working with food, children's goods is better to give preference to electrical engineering. It is the most environmentally friendly, since there are no harmful exhaust. Work on it being virtually silent, and easy maintenance. It should be borne in mind that it is less powerful and requires charging.
The experts had proved that through 3 years of operation of the aggregate value of automobiles and electric are compared, then the use of electrical engineering is even cheaper because diesel fuel is relatively expensive.
Best alternative is a technique to move the gas, because it has lower operating costs and reduced levels of toxic emissions compared to diesel.

Fork trucks - Innovation at all levels.

A new chassis concept achieves something never seen before: a reduction in the truck length. The fact that we were able to save decisive centimetres here is a positive secondary effect. Our main thoughts were to optimise the lift and load laboratories, not in your warehouse. We research, test and refine in order to set carriages and also the mast connection. What has been achieved is better stability with a more compact truck, making aisle changing easier and faster.
Matching this, something has also been done in the driver's working space. The universal cab for example had been made capable of going online, by making MMS components such as terminal, printer and scanner capable of being integrated.
Now, whether with standard, universal or luxury cab, we will match your MX-X, and all the things that go with it, to the application conditions which prevail in your warehouse. Whether the aisles are narrow or wide, the runs long or short, pallets light or heavy, racking low or high - the ideal order picking truck for all these criteria can now be built. And STILL specialises in this!

Steering everything on the right path.
As has already been proven on other model ranges, the MX-X maintains its course with the STILL steering module. Its fully redundant system has a two channel set up which constantly compares target and actual values. In operation it is failsafe - guaranteed on the basis of two-processor architecture (main and control computer). The speed profile is designed in accordance with the environment and products at time of order, all with the intention of ensuring smooth and efficient working at all times.
Because of OPTISPEED, the wire guidance system can now achieve speed profiles normally associated with mechanical guide rails.
This completely new technology, developed to the EN standard, enables fast, safe and tolerant on-track characteristics. However narrow and winding the aisles might be, the MX-X moves with the greatest functional and fail-safe reliability - again thanks to two processors.
The CAN bus technology also ensures safety and productivity. Because of central control, monitoring and diagnosis, the MX-X can devote itself more intensively to the work and requires very little maintenance time. The MX-X is an outstanding example of how innovation can be put to practical use and generate significant benefits of flexibility and reliability in a workhorse machine that will solve your material flow and logistics problems. It looks good because it is good!

Fork trucks equipment

Out of the ordinary.
There is no such thing as a standard warehouse. Every one is different, with layout and equipment to suit the particular requirements of the goods being stored and the flow of material. This is why STILL does not supply standard trucks but highly individual and intelligent Systems Technology. Therefore, whatever your individual requirements, with the MX-X order picking trucks you will get the optimal solution. Starting at 500 kg, rated capacity increases in steps of 100 kg up to maxima of 1250 kg (telescopic forks) and 1500 kg (turret head).
The name says it all: OPTISPEED!
Optimal travel speed at all levels is automatically decided by our innovative control system, OPTISPEED 2.0, via an extremely short process. By continuously monitoring lift height, driving direction, acceleration and deceleration, it computes the maximum work rate - quickly and efficiently -while maintaining relaxed working conditions for the operator. The load change takes place faster and, when reaching the limit of travel, automatic damping ensures the pallet is positioned smoothly and jolt-free. It doesn't get any safer, faster or more convenient.
But it gets even better: with the optional load sensing feature you can have a system that makes travel speed, side shifting and swivelling dependent on whether the truck is being driven with or without a load. And as an extra facility, load-weight monitoring can be added to further refine the truck's operating characteristics according to its load and thus make it even more efficient.
This unique and totally flexible concept offers all possibilities from partial right up to full automation.
As individual as your warehouse.
The new MX-X concept builds a truck to suit the exact parameters of your warehouse. You do not need to take the nearest model - which is always a compromise - but you can have an individually optimised solution. Because the solution corresponds to your actual need, you are neither under nor over supplied. The MX-X thus incorporates perfect economy. And with a total of five mast modules, the overall height can be specified to suit your individual requirements, allowing pallets to be quickly placed in their locations, at lift heights up to 15.4 metres. And safely down again.
STILL International Systems Division will discuss your own specific application requirements and tailor your truck or trucks to suit them. The many innovative features of the MX-x, together with OPTISPEED plus the warehouse layout itself, will form a system tha offers optimised performance, economy and safety to the most exacting standards.
MX-X: packed with patented Ideas for improved productivity.
STILL believes that experiments should take place in our development new standards again and again. On the new MX-X range alone we have put in so much know-how and innovation that we have been able to apply for several patents. The sturdy box construction - with its tried-and-tested mast sections - has been obtained. The modern design elements have, in fact, improved the performance and the truck exemplifies a state-of-the-art combination of form and function. With its high stability and rigid mast construction, the new MX-X sets the standard for others to follow. STILL always pays particular attention to ergonomics. The MX-X is designed to ensure maximum comfort for the operator during the working shift. Generous cabin width is provided due to the widened mast design, giving excellent
freedom of movement and reducing the likelihood of stress-induced fatigue.
Less strain, higher productivity.
