The Basics of Selecting Transfer Switches
BY NIKHIL NAGPAL and LIZ BURANT Product Management Transfer Switches at Generac Power Systems INTRODUCTION A transfer switch is a device used for transferring power from one source to the other.

Businesses that operate forklifts and other industrial equipment must also consider the operator’s compartment, various controls, buttons, grab handles, and anything else that is touched repeatedly throughout a shift.

These types are unfortunately not as easy to disinfect, as a simple cleaning spray or wipe will not […]

Achieve a Spotless Facility by Adding Industrial Cleaning Equipment to Your Operation
No matter the size of your facility, cleaning your space, and cleaning it thoroughly, can be a daunting task requiring large amounts of time. With cost in mind, some businesses will resort to traditional methods, such as a mop, bucket, and broom.

Depending on the size of your facility, mop and bucket can easily take much more time than your employees have to give, with a less than satisfactory result in the end. Implementing new methods can change the way you clean, […]
