Goscor Access Rental Equipment Raises the Mall of Africa

Goscor Access Rental (GAR), part of the Goscor Group of Companies, has to date rented out a total of 95 access equipment to support construction work currently under way at the Mall of Africa in Midrand, Johannesburg, testimony to the company’s teamwork, dedication and belief in their equipment and service.
Specialist Rental Company, GAR, is a market leader in the supply of a wide range of mobile lifting equipment and systems to the Southern Africa market. According to the company’s General Manager, Nici Verster, they faced some challenges in securing the project. “Our success in being appointed as the preferred rental equipment supplier is the result of a tremendous team effort, perseverance and building good customer relationships.” “Following several calls and visits to the site, we finally got hold of the correct decision maker but as he was on a very tight schedule, I only had five minutes to pitch our business.” The real breakthrough though came when Verster sold a GTH2506 telescopic handler to the customer on behalf of Goscor Hi-Reach; GAR was then requested to supply a few tele-handlers and not long after, requests for other equipment started coming in. To ensure uninterrupted uptime for the customer, GAR has assigned Sales Representative, Johan Oosthuizen to the site to look after the customer’s requirements. Covering an area of 115 000m², the Mall of Africa will be the largest shopping mall ever built in South Africa in a single phase. This crowning glory of South Africa’s strong shopping centre industry will be the heart of Midrand’s Waterfall City development, located between South Africa’s administrative capital, Pretoria, and its economic capital, Johannesburg. Valued at R5-billion, this super-regional mall is scheduled for opening in April 2016. /Ends Issued on behalf of: Goscor Access Rental T: +27 11 010 594 4357Fax: 086 618 334 www.goscoraccessrental.co.za Media Contact: Debby Marx - Group Marketing Communications Manager Goscor Group of Companies T: +27 11 230 2600 / F: +27 11 393 5512 E: Dmarx@goscor.co.za Issued by: Sonia Laverick - Laverick Media Communications Tel: +27 11 027 8880 / Fax: +27 86 671 6836 lavmedia@iafrica.com / www.laverickmedia.co.za

The sky’s the limit with thermal spray coatings from Thermaspray

Image
HVOF (High Velocity Oxy Fuel) thermal spray coatings available from Thermaspray, are used to protect the external high strength low alloy steel surfaces of aircraft landing gear components against corrosion and wear. During landing and taxiing, an aircraft’s landing gear is subjected to a great deal of stress, side-loading and sliding wear. Any coatings applied to protect these large hydraulic units from wear resistance and corrosion must be of first-class standards to be able to withstand these stresses. Until recently, electrolytically deposited chrome plating was the standard surface treatment for landing gear components which are critical safety components on an aircafrt. According to Metallurgical Engineer at Thermaspray, Shaik Hoosain, hard chromium coatings have been the gold standard to impart resistance to component wear, impact and corrosion in aviation, transportation, industrial and consumer products for more than 70 years. “While chrome has proven to be a relatively c

SKF Agri Hubs for slurry fertiliser discs boost farm productivity & profitability!

Image
The new SKF Agri Hub for fertiliser injector discs has been specially engineered to boost farm productivity and profitability through increased performance and improved machine up-time while minimising the impact on the environment. Under mounting pressure to increase yields while keeping input costs to a minimum, farmers look to OEMs for equipment that delivers ever-greater reliability, efficiency and performance. “This can be a challenge particularly for slurry fertiliser discs which operate under extremely harsh, corrosive conditions,” states SKF Key Accounts Manager – Agriculture, Charl Engelbrecht. He explains that typically these machines incorporate conventional metallic hub assemblies to mount the cutting disc on to the slurry fertiliser injector machine. ”However, the low corrosion resistance and poor sealing performance of these conventional units often result in poor reliability and premature failure. The seasonal replacement of these units is an expensive exercise for
