Event organizer, the Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA) has confirmed dates for its other exhibition, the 2010 North American Material Handing & Logistics Show (NA 2010), which will be held April 26-29 at Cleveland's I-X Center.  NA and ProMat operate on alternate years.

The show will feature over 150,000 square feet of exhibits from over 500 of the leading suppliers of material handling and logistics solutions for manufacturing, distribution and supply chain operations.

NA 2010 will be the most comprehensive material handling and logistics show and conference held in the US in 2010.  Like ProMat, exhibits will represent all segments of the material handling and logistics industry, from traditional, manual equipment to computerized, automated systems.

Harrington Hoists Inc. will showcase its recently launched NER/ER three-phase electric chain hoists modified with "many enhanced features," it says.

These revolutionary hoists are now equipped with 'The Guardian' smart brake technology, a failsafe maintenance-free brake with a 10-year warranty.  All standard models are UL listed.  Capacities, ranging from from 1/8 to 20 ton, are offered in standard single speed and under-the-cover variable frequency drive dual speed.

Harrington's NER/ER hoists are "now built environmentally friendly without the use of harmful materials," it says.

Canada-based, O’Brien Installations Ltd., a licensed partner with Vetter Foerdertechnik GmbH, and one of North Americas leading jib crane manufacturers, will exhibit its line of German-engineered, superior quality, high capacity, multi-purpose jib cranes.

It also hopes to expand its distributor and dealer network.

Tele Radio America LLC will showcase its T70-Jaguar system, the first unit it has specifically designed for the American market.

Miguel Tellez, managing director, says it is "the first ever real high quality and low cost system in the market.  It closes the gap between two traditional alternatives, the low quality - low cost systems and the high quality - high cost systems," he adds.
