Rite-Hite (Booth B1747) is showcasing two new products at the show. The Direct Drive HVLS Fan and the Trailer Stabilizer round out the manufacturer’s product line.
The HVLS fan comes in five sizes (8 feet to 24 feet) and is powered by a direct drive that requires no oil—a feature that makes it attractive for “clean” warehouse and DC environments, such as food or pharmaceuticals. Users can control up to 24 of the HVLS fans—which will be available for sale in early-July—with a single control box.
Rite-Hite’s new Trailer Stabilizer rolls into place and can be raised and lowered with a crank. Featuring two support legs, this stable, mobile product is rated for 80 tons (160,000 pounds). At Modex, Rite-Hite is also demonstrating the Dok-Commander System and a new graphic user interface (GUI) control panel.
Modex 2018 is scheduled to be held April 9-12 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the materials handling and logistics industry. Modern’s complete coverage of the show.
