SKYRISE 2 – THE NEW OTIS SOLUTION FOR MEDIUM HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS


After the international success of Skyrise 1, which was mostly dedicated for use in tall office buildings and commercials with speed ranging from 2.5m/s to 7.0 m/s, Otis has launched a new generation of Skyrise elevators to address specifications for the medium standard market and is an ideal solution for residential developments, hotels and low commercials. Skyrise 2 is a machine room technology using the same components as the MRL Gen2 technology and with speed ranging from 2.5 to 4.0m per second. As the Skyrise 1 car load capacity ranges from 900 to 2250kg, and was already offering a wide range of applications for heavy duty usage and intensive traffic, Skyrise 2 displays car load possibilities from 900 to 1600kg, while also addressing requirements for clinics and hospitals. “Clearly, Skyrise 2 is a cost-cutting solution to developers and designers who are engaged with medium rise projects while keeping a high level of technology and aesthetics,” says Amyn Benyekkou, head of sales and marketing Otis Africa. Skyrise 2 is compatible with CompassPlus, the Otis-patented destination system that can organise travel by grouping passengers and stops to serve a group of zones and floors, resulting in a faster and better organised traffic flow and service. About Otis Otis was founded in 1853 and is the world’s largest manufacturer of people moving products including elevators, escalators and moving walkways. Otis maintains 2 million elevators and escalators in more than 200 countries and is engaged in ethics, safety, green environment and people employment diversity. Otis is a unit of United Technologies Corporation (UTC), a leader in global building systems and aerospace industry. www.otis.com

Kubota RTV-X900 delivers deep underground

Image
[Johannesburg, 30 May 2017]: With a rich founding history of gold and diamond mining, South Africa remains a leader in deep underground mining as well as safety in this arena, making the transfer of equipment and goods underground a task with little margin for error. Enter the Kubota RTV-X900. While the tasks involved in a successful mining operation are manifold, one of these is being able to move equipment, technicians and supplies from the shafts to the rock face; everything inside these tunnels must be brought from the surface. Due to the layout of a deep level mine, which could include many hundreds of kilometres of tunneling fanning out from the shafts and leading to the surface, this transfer is hugely complex and potentially very hazardous. In years past, the task of transporting goods from the surface underground and vice versa was carried out using a ‘cage’, from which the mining paraphernalia would either be physically carried or transported by wheeled trolleys to its po...

SKF Ultrasonic leak detector - Quick and easy detection of air leaks TKSU 10

Image
The SKF TKSU 10 is an ultrasonic leak detector that helps users to quickly find leakages in compressed air or vacuum systems. The instrument is very simple to use and features adjustable sensitivity and intuitive guidance for superior leak detection results. Any compressed air system can experience leaks, which amplify the load on compressors and increase costs. The TKSU 10 helps users to easily find leaks from a distance, even in noisy industrial environments, via its ultrasound measurement sensor. The built-in LED display assists the user in adjusting sensitivity and shows the measured ultrasound noise from leaking air, allowing the quantification of leaks and prioritisation of repairs. It is easy to use and no training is required. The leak detection can be done from a distance in noisy industrial environments. The colour LED display assists in adjusting sensitivity settings and shows measurement values. The unit reduces energy and maintenance costs via leak identification an...

Atlas Copco and Skills Development Corporation giving hope to the disabled

Image
In a bid to contribute to the much-needed skills development and work experience of disabled people, Atlas Copco South Africa partnered with the Skills Development Corporation (SDC) 12 months ago on 4 April 2017. Atlas Copco recognises the daily challenges the disabled face both in their private lives as well as in the business world. The 12-month initiative gave a number of leaners aged between 20 and 28 the opportunity to receive skills development while simultaneously obtaining valuable experience in the work place. The learning programme, hosted at Atlas Copco House in Jet Park, Boksburg, offered learners practical work experience from Monday to Thursday; every Friday learners attended lectures in General Business Management conducted by SDC Facilitator, Nozibusiso Nkosi. “We take pride in working with our future generation, teaching them the fundamental ins and outs of a corporate setting and at the same time boost their self-esteem and much needed confidence to pursue their ca...
