The 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is the height of off-road luxury. It’s also the preferred ride of the Pope. The G-Wagon has a military style body frame that’s built tough and built to last. The first generation ran for 40 years with only minor tweaks and updates.

As well as that facility, the company has been innovating and growing and plans to continue to do so, says Salim: “2017 was a rich year in term of innovation. We added new sizes to most of our series. In the same time, we started the production of a new series for heavy-duty hoist applications. The series will hopefully be completed by the end of 2019 and help us to cover most of the current market needs, from small hoist to largecapacity crane applications.

Last year saw BVS Cranes produce innovative machines for the ports sector. “In 2017 BVS Cranes designed and manufactured a special shiploader project for loading soda ash for the ships. With a 1,500t per hour capacity it was the biggest capacity shiploader manufactured in Turkey. BVS Cranes also designed and manufactured a 300t per hour capacity mobile shiploader for working together with the main shiploader. All manufacturing, installation, tests and commissioning were conducted by BVS Cranes. For this project, all the conveyors and silos were manufactured by our steel construction company BCES. “This year, we are currently following some underground projects, highway projects and harbour projects in different areas in the world.”

Electrically power-assisted steering (EPAS) has many benefits, including the ability to filter out things that would “fatigue” normal drivers. This includes a pull to one side from improper wheel alignment or the crown of the road, or even a shimmy from out-of-balance tires. The latter is something that those old very-communicative hydraulically assisted BMWs were particularly susceptible to — and eliminating warranty claims for tire balances helped BMW, but killed the F30’s steering feel. When the G20 is put in Sport mode, it’s supposed to eliminate some of this filtration so that some feedback comes from the front wheels. Let’s hope.

As an example; a gearmotor drives a conveyor in short bursts, 2 minutes at a time, with 2 minutes off before repeating, over and over, during two 10-hour shifts, five days a week. You need it to operate trouble-free for at least five years or 13,000 hours.

With the growing need for transmitting power, demand for the bevel gears continue to remain high globally. In terms of revenue, the bevel gear product type segment is expected to generate significant revenues, accounting for over US$ 18,000 Mn by the end of 2026. On the other hand, the helical gear product type segment is expected to witness the fastest growth in the global gear demand market during the forecast period.

However, braking is reassuringly good, with kinetic regenerative braking helping to recharge the battery.

“Our main target is to continue to manufacture our products in Germany and Europe. This ensures the quality stays high. We are proud of being a manufacturer in Germany, and we are proud of our well trained employees and their dedication to the job.”

The technology is being used at a steel fabrication facility in Switzerland, where SWF’s hoists were recently installed. Anti-sway was required, as the application involves handling long steel bars, which make for an unwieldy load.
