Less-than-truckload service: Polaris
Transportation Group has added a new premium less-than-truckload service, Priority Plus.
This service provides guaranteed delivery by
noon the next day from the Greater Toronto
area to Chicago and New York City. This
latest offering, paired with the company’s
overnight, end-of-day service, is the next step
in providing Polaris customers with a full suite
of transit-time options. (Polaris Transportation

Pallet organizer: Automation Plus has introduced a new way to handle pallets with
its Pallet Return Device (PRD). The PRD is
designed to operate in distribution center pick
modules and makes handling pallets (wood or
plastic) safer and more efficient than current
practices without using any outside energy
source such as electricity or compressed air.
The PRD incorporates a unique method
for stacking empty pallets. Currently, stacking pallets requires expensive machinery or
intense manual labor. The PRD enables a
new method, where the operator lifts the
pallet over a pivot point, thereby creating a
mechanical advantage to remove the back
strain associated with lifting pallets. Not only
is this a safer device for the operator, but it’s
also more efficient for the forklift driver.
The new pallet return device uses a “
carriage” to help guide the empty pallets. This
feature produces a perfect stack every time,
eliminating the need for the forklift driver to
reshape the stack. In addition, having pallets
stacked neatly one atop the other removes
the hazard associated with falling pallets.
The PRD incorporates a shock-absorbing
device that provides a smooth transition from
the load position to the unload position. In
use, the operator loads the carriage. When
the carriage is full, the operator simply releases
the load and lets the shock-absorbing device
safely guide the stack to a vertical unload
position. Once positioned, the pallets are
rolled forward to a raised outbound location,
which releases the pallets from the carriage.
The operator then slides the carriage back and
tilts it to the load position, and it’s ready to
receive more empty pallets. (Automation Plus,

Trailer seal protector: Transport Security Inc. has introduced its Enforcer Seal
Guard Lock #5950, which is designed to protect trailer seals from unauthorized
removal and tampering while in transit. The guard lock will accommodate cable,
plastic, metal, and bolt seals.
The Enforcer lock is mounted onto the existing trailer latches and has a self-contained design. Made from hardened steel and a corrosion-resistant stainless steel
surface, it provides a high-security barrier, protecting the seal from physical attacks.
The guard lock has the option of utilizing the Enforcer Abloy high-security padlocks
to secure the unit. (Transport Security Inc., www.transportsecurity.com)
