X-Duty Trailer: The X-Duty Trailer from Nussbaum allows shippers to move a given amount of freight with fewer trucks and eliminate deadhead miles. The X-Duty Trailer is a dual-purpose van trailer that was designed to meet the demands of extremely high-stress loading and hauling requirements. It supports a floor-load rating of 36,000 pounds, which is more than 50 percent greater than other van trailers on the market, the manufacturer says.

The trailer features the best properties of both a flatbed and a van, according to Nussbaum. It easily accommodates inbound raw materials typically moved by flatbed. (Nussbaum, www.nussbaum.com/X-Duty)

Glacier rugged tablet computers: Glacier Computer, a developer of rugged industrial computing solutions, has added several new rugged tablets to its line of vehicle and fixed-mount terminals, handhelds, and wearable rugged computers.

Available in 7-, 8-, and 10-inch displays, the new Glacier tablets offer standard configurations that are fully loaded with wireless 802.11 b/g/n, bar-code imaging, a camera, RFID, and sunlight readable and resistive touch-screens. Windows XP or 7 Pro is also standard, and the computers are powered by an Intel Atom processor.

The new Glacier tablets provide portable desktop computing both inside and outside. These new units have grip-and-go handles and both desktop and vehicle cradles. (Glacier Computer, www.glaciercomputer.com)

PC Series Mobile Powered Workstation: The PC Series Mobile Powered Workstation from Newcastle Systems provides enough on-board power to run a computer, a printer, and other devices simultaneously. At the same time, the workstation also has ample shelf space for products and other items.

With 6-inch rubber swivel casters and no cord trailing behind, a PC Series Workstation can be easily rolled and positioned. The casters can be locked for stability once the workstation is in place. All models have a load capacity of 500 pounds.

The unit’s rechargeable battery offers power for up to 12 hours of normal use. Carts are available with 30- or 48-inch deep shelves and five different battery/inverter/charger packages. Accessories include an additional shelf, drawers (including a keyboard drawer), a laptop holder, an 18 x 20-inch slide-out printer shelf with a 60-pound capacity, a CPU holder, two types of flat-screen holders, and a bar-code-scanner holder. All can be added in seconds and easily adjusted to suit the operator’s height and needs.

A PC Series Mobile Powered Workstation can be used to record inventory in real time. It can print a label as each product is handled and simultaneously provide access to the customer’s warehouse management system, enterprise resource planning system, and automated data collection system. In a receiving department, inbound products can be inspected, labeled, and rerouted at the same workstation, eliminating unnecessary foot travel and paperwork.
