Industrial curtain: ABC Industries Inc. has
developed Duravider and Duravider RS (ripstop)
heavy-duty fabrics for the industrial curtain
market. Duravider’s rugged construction is
ideal for the rigors of industrial environments,
including warehouses, according to the manufacturer.
Duravider RS is constructed of “sequentially
staggered,” heavyweight polyester yarns that
“capture” puncture points and prevent them
from spreading. Because the fabric stops small
snags from becoming major tears, customers can repair Duravider RS curtains with a
simple patch instead of having to replace the
entire curtain. The trilaminate RipStop fabric
also increases durability without significantly
adding to the overall fabric weight, according
to the company. The extra protection makes
Duravider RS more resistant to common abrasion and impact damage experienced in industrial environments.
Both Duravider RS and Duravider meet the
flame test standards of the California Fire
Marshal and NFPA701 Method 2. Duravider
RS is offered in weights of 14 ounces and 18
ounces per square yard. Duravider is available
in 13 ounces and 18 ounces per square yard.
All Duravider RS and Duravider fabric rolls
are 61 inches wide. Custom roll widths are
also available with a minimum purchase. (ABC

LP gas forklifts: Hyundai Forklift has
introduced two expanded-capacity
LP gas forklifts to its pneumatic tire
Class V product lineup. Hyundai’s new
60/70L-7A series forklifts offer 13,230-
and 15,430-pound
load capacities and
are suitable for
indoor and outdoor
use in many applications, including
warehouses and
manufacturing facilities. The extended mast height for
both models is 170.1 inches.
Hyundai’s 60/70L-7A forklifts are
equipped with Tier 4-certified 4.3-liter
V6 LP engines that boast 95 horse-
power at 2,300 rpm. The high-out-
put engines allow the 7A forklifts to
accelerate and travel faster on tough
terrains or slopes than other forklifts,
according to Hyundai.
The forklift trucks feature a state-
of-the-art hydraulic system and fully
hydrostatic power steering. The lift
trucks react quick-
ly and smoothly
during operation,
the company says.
Hyundai’s new
7A forklifts also
include the compa-
ny’s “mast lift and
tilt lock system.”
This feature allows
users to quickly raise and lower the
mast as well as tilt it 15 degrees for-
ward and 10 degrees backward. The
mast lift and tilt lock is part of the oper-
ator presence sensing system (OPSS),
which deactivates hydraulic functions
when the seat is vacated for more than
