Forklift Seat Cushion and Seat Belt Replacement
The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration won’t usually perform “surprise” inspections to make sure your drivers are wearing their seat belts. If there is an accident at your business and it’s determined that the operator wasn’t wearing a seat belt — or, even worse, that the forklift didn’t have seat belts in the first place — your business could be liable for both civil and criminal punishments, including fines and even jail time. A damaged forklift seat may also pose a larger problem if the seat belt doesn’t work. What is the driving force that helps you decide to replace the cushion or the whole seat? Making that call […]

Benefits of Generac Modular Power Systems
Generac’s Modular Power System (MPS) is a combination of the industry’s most reliable generators and state- of-the-art integrated paralleling technology. The standard in the industry for a number of years was to provide a single generator set solution.

This is a common practice in solutions above 1000kW where redundancy is desired, but traditionally comes with high price tag. Generac Modular Paralleled Solutions (MPS) remove the high price tag, providing the paralleling functions integral to the generator set […]
