Monitoring app by Wood’s Powr-Grip

Wood’s Powr-Grip advanced its Intelli-Grip Technology with the introduction of a monitoring app for Android-powered devices. The app puts the same information as what is on the vacuum lifter gauges, but at a user’s fingertips, offering better access and greater detail. Lifter information can now be viewed from greater distances by multiple people on the jobsite. For safety reasons, the lifter-to-app communication is one-way. The app is only for monitoring and cannot control the lifter.

Hydraulic speed dial by Quattrolifts

Quattrolifts added a variable hydraulic speed dial to its Vector 880, Vector 880 Off Road and Vector 1800 Off Road glazing robots, alleviating glazier concerns about jerky movement when micro movement is required, say company officials. Using the dial, glaziers can manipulate glass lites and windows weighing upwards of 1,800 pounds with micrometer precision, mitigating a large fear of damaging expensive glass while also improving safety. For the machine operator, the dial simply adjusts the sensitivity of the existing controls, which, in most cases, will solve tight installation issues where precision is crucial.
