RileySurface World recently completed the successful disposal of a large number of
ABB robots and ancillary equipment from GKN Land Systems in Telford, UK. The
robots were formerly used for mig, spot and projection welding of commercial
vehicle chassis.
One
of the beneficiaries of the robot sale was Dtec Manufacturing Ltd., a recent
start-up company in Walsall. The directors all have backgrounds in materials
handling and have now started their own manufacturing facility, specialising in
the production of tipping skips, both light and heavy duty, and forklift
attachments such as snow ploughs, scoops, cranes and other forms of lifting
gear.
One
of Dtec’s exclusive products is the Tele-Skip. This can be locked to a forklift
remotely from the driver’s cab, with no need for manual handling or retaining
chains. This product has many health & safety and efficiency benefits.
Dtec
Manufacturing supplies the construction industry and other sectors such as
recycling, warehousing, aerospace, general engineering and metal refining.
Their products can be customised to a customer’s own requirements, including
corporate colours and logos, colour coding for ease of identification in the
recycling process, specially made buckets, lights and other attachments.
According
to co-director Tony Leaver, the acquisition of the robots, at a small fraction
of their market value, will enable Dtec Manufacturing to double its output from
10 to 20 skips per day. This will help the company to satisfy the demand from
its existing customers and win new business. Tony also complimented Riley
Surface World for their helpful and professional attitude displayed during the
course of the GKN sale.
