Had a custom question about the load rating on our 55cm Heavy Duty Trolley which made me recheck the rating for each wheel and found it’s 50kg and not 75kg which I am pretty sure the supplier had advertised a number of years ago. Because of that I have altered the maximum rating for the pot trolley to 250kg rather then the 400kg.- The 55cm and 57cm pot trolley rubber spacers are in stock. I only bought a small number of them initally but will get more as required.
-  Introduced auto address complete. We have had increasing amounts of “local pickups” because address details were not added correctly which left the local collection as the only option. This is mainly the systems fault as shopify does a much better job of the checkout. Adding this should make the checkout process much smoother.
- Changed the single item layouts on the website to introduce some other parts that are frequently bought together to save people having to search for them.
- Added core trays to the DTH mining section. This is a traded part we are able to get within Malaysia so it all helps.
- Changed the front page to remove the spears and add DTH supply products.
As far as new products goes we are spending the toolroom time on industrial products for the time being. We are currently manufacturing a 50mm Muff Coupling in gravity as we try to move away, as much as possible, from sand casting which is pretty expensive and can be in consistent with quality. After this we’ll be moving onto the 125mm muff coupling and, for some fun, we’re going to manufacture the 10″ muff coupling in gravity too. The 10″ should be a bit of a challenge as we need to separate some of the parts of the mould to allow machining in the 5 axis. When completed we’ll have 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, & 10″ all as gravity cast.
