Dust Control Technology (DCT) has introduced a new
quick-releasemanifold bracket, engineered to limit
worker exposure to harsh service environments
and potential safety hazards, whileminimising
process downtime. Designed to fit all fan-driven
models of DustBoss atomisedmist dust suppression
equipment, the new bracket design allows removal
and replacement of themanifold in about five
minutes, with no tools required. The stainless
steel bracket and pinmounting system secures
themanifold in position, allowingmaintenance
personnel to remove and replace quickly for routine
cleaning or other service. Initially developed in
response to customer input for use in harsh service
conditions to reduce potential risk to employees,
the design is expected to find utility among any
customerswanting to avoidwork stoppages and
maximise process time.

Easing transport
UK plant hire specialist Tom Prichard Contracting, based in Llantrisant, SouthWales,
has a fleet of 30HGVs that are used to transport a wide range of plant equipment to
customers acrossWales and the south west. The company has now taken delivery of a
new Andover Trailers LPPB32 body mounted to a 32 tonne Scania 8x2 rigid fitted with
hydraulic power toe ramps, hydraulic
steady legs, and six sets of lashing
points in the floor, as well as an electric
Superwinch and plastic tool box to ensure
equipment can be securely stowed away.
In addition, the deck is five inches lower
