Caster pad: Colson Caster Corp. has added a Quick-Change Caster Pad to its line
of casters, wheels, and accessories. The hardware, which is suitable for material
handling cart and waste container applications, allows maintenance personnel to
replace casters in the field with the turn of just one nut and bolt.
The Quick-Change Caster Pad fits most industrial 4- by 4.5-inch top plate casters.
The caster pad holds the caster securely in place with a cross bolt on one end and an
integrated retaining clip on the other.
The Quick-Change Caster Pad is sold in box quantities to provide bulk discount pricing. (Colson Caster Corp., www.colsoncaster.com)
Cloud voice management suite: Voxware
has introduced the Cloud Voice Management
Suite (VMS), a cloud-based voice software
solution. This product bundle includes software, hardware, services, and support.
According to Voxware, users do not need
technical expertise to deploy Cloud VMS;
they simply complete a questionnaire and
then receive a ready-to-deploy product. In
addition, Cloud VMS can run without an IT
infrastructure, eliminating costs associated
with server hardware, maintenance, and IT
personnel.
Voxware says the delivery time for its Cloud
VMS is shorter than for a full-fledged voice
solution. Because the solution is “on the
cloud,” Voxware can automatically update
software and refresh hardware, ensuring that
users have the latest technologies.
In addition, Cloud VMS can be run without
a warehouse management system, making it
well suited for small operations that are still
mostly manual. (Voxware, www.voxware.com)
Storage bins: Akro-Mils
has introduced a new
line of TiltView bins that
can be used in an
expandable high-density
storage system. TiltView
bins are available in six sizes, tilt out smoothly, and can be removed for cleaning.
The cabinets are made of high-impact polystyrene, and the bins are made of clear polystyrene. They can be used on a desktop or
attached to steel rails, frames, or louvered
panels. They are also wall mountable.
The bins have an optional locking rod (sold
separately) that keeps bins closed and contents securely in place. Optional dividers are
also available for the three-bin system and
four-bin system.
All six sizes of TiltView bins may be used
individually or configured into systems. (

LED lighting: The I-Beam LED high-bay lumi-naire from Lithonia Lighting offers higher-quality illumination and longer life while consuming less energy than comparable fluorescent and HID fixtures. Plus, I-Beam LED high

years, the company says.
I-Beam LED luminaires can be integrated

occupancy sensors, daylight photocells, or
nLight devices. The lights can be mounted at
heights ranging from 15 to 40 feet in ambient
environments up to 131°F ( 55°C). (Acuity
