Gantry cranes are completely intended to deal with high-volume lifts and give a proficient methods for lifting or moving substantial burdens through a yard, creation shop, or general assembling/warehousing climate. Remember the accompanying to ensure that you plan a gantry crane framework that is the most practical and generally beneficial for your application. A) Duty Cycle/Classification: Selecting the correct obligation cycle or administration grouping guarantees that the parts are sufficiently tough to withstand the heap and use necessities. B) Gantry Design: Will you use a full gantry, semi-gantry or compact gantry framework? Will the gantry proceed onward rails, track, or wheels? C) Foot or Motor Traffic: Will there be specialists or other gear working close to the gantry? Will any segments need extra guarding or extraordinary direction to evade crash harm D) Indoors/Outdoors: Will the crane be working inside, outside, or both? Uncommon paint frameworks, material, and parts might be needed to withstand to ecological conditions on an open air gantry framework. E) Power Requirements: Will a link reel be adequate for power conveyance, or will a more tweaked arrangement be required?

We at Al Ameen have been renting out crowd control barriers for quite sometime. This article we will decribe what to do to ensure your planned events run smoothly. As the size of public and special events grows, the planning role becomes more difficult for event organizers. In addition to making basic preparations for an event, organizers must also take public safety and security needs into consideration and be prepared to respond to anything that jeopardizes the safety and welfare of the attendees and staff. To minimize risks, organizers must maintain sufficient safety precautions which are appropriate for the number of people attending the event. The bigger the event, the larger the security needs. Because of injuries and deaths which have occurred at various events, event organizers are open to a new level of risk and liability. The ability to manage and control the people at any event, large or small, is a make-or-break factor in special events planning. Using effective principles, event coordinators can properly manage and control attendees and increase their chances of hosting an event free of safety problems. To create a successful crowd management plan, a thorough analysis is needed for these factors:
Crowd management occurs throughout the event, from pre-event to post-event. Prior to the event, advanced planning and training are needed. During the event, organizers focus on handling the internal and external crowds and providing security. After the event, responsible parties should regroup and document the lessons learned in order to plan for future events. The purpose of this article is to provide information that will help event planners and organizers create an effective crowd control management plan. This paper will provide an overview of crowd management practices, explore the use of crowd control barriers and related products, and look at case studies of successful crowd management at major events. The Crowd Management Planning Process – An event organizer can craft a well-suited crowd management plan by following the principles established by other event organizers, and by accurately assessing the scope of the event, the threats posed to attendees, and the impact on the surrounding community. Planning should incorporate consideration and understanding of the following:
The single most complicating factor for any event is the crowd. A top priority for any organizer is to identify and minimize the potential risks posed by and to event attendees. The potential for human loss, as well as economic loss, making this a serious concern. The ability to direct the movement of the attendees throughout the venue, with the goal of mitigating personal harm and property loss, is accomplished through effective crowd management. Crowd Control barriers or Police Barriers are mostly used in events for managing huge crowd in events. One of the most established crowd control and management tools used by organizers is the interlocking steel barrier. These crowd control barricades provide both a physical and psychological line to keep people out of an area or to direct crowd movement. Interlocking steel barriers are used along parade and marathon routes, at sporting events, political rallies, concerts, outdoor festivals, and other areas where large crowds gather. They come in standard sizes (2 meter, and 2.5 meter) and can be interlocked to create a unified line of varying lengths. When interlocked, the barricades are sturdy enough to keep people back without falling over. Rent barriers from Al Ameen at affordable rates with many customized accessories to meet your needs. Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park located in Seih Al-Dahal is one of the world's largest renewable project based on an independent power producer (IPP) model. It also has world's largest 260 m solar tower made to provide sunlight to solar panels at any angle. After months of research by the contracting companies of the region, Raframps have been chosen to provide loading/unloading equipments like forklift ramps and dock boards. According to the Operations Manager of the company Troy Dey mentioned "we have provided 5 modified ramps for the first phase of the project and would supply more as the project gains traction." The model that was submitted for the project was CE Certified Xtreme version as shown here . More loading equipments are planned to be provided to contracting compnies.
A year back there has been new rule implemented in UAE for transporting goods across Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. The goods must be enclosed in a boxed trailer or should be put inside a container. The companies that used to load using sideways started having problems with loading containers as they can only load form the rear with forklift and then pushed inside. Here are some of the ways to load a container and its pros and cons of doing it. i, Grounding the container (Side Loader/ Lifter) One of the most common ways to load/unload container is with side loader/lifter. A truck that has a side loading device. This enables the truck to pull up beside your warehouse area and offload the container directly off the side. There are advantages and disadvantages of Side Loader to load/unload Container. Advantages
ii, Container unloader Container load/unload method is the method where the container picks itself up off a trailer, with the help of removable hydraulic legs then lowers itself to the ground after the trailer drives away the vehicle. Note that this method does not allow for moving the container horizontally. The container just goes straight down from where it sat on the trailer. There are also Advantages and Disadvantages of Hydraulic Lifting Jack to load/unload Container Advantages
iii, Unload with Crane A crane is what many people commonly associate with container offloading. They offer a lot of flexibility but can be expensive to have on site. The crane itself is a vehicle, and an additional truck/trailer will be needed to separately transport the container. Advantages
iv, Use Forklift Ramp There are many benefits of using a forklift ramp. A ramp is basically a platform for the forklift to go inside the container to load/unload the container faster. Ramp is the new and innovative way to load/unload container faster which saves time, efforts as well as increases safety. Most of the companies use this method nowadays to load/unload container.
There are also Advantages and Disadvantages of Forklift Ramp to load/unload container Advantages–

After 14 months of development we have released one of the world's largest dropdeck trailer for one of the leading companies in the region. It is with 2.7 m and 4.4m usable width for carrying goods and materials. The dropdeck trailer can carry a payload of 8 tons with length of 6 m and 3.27 m width. It would be mainly used inside the army base and ports to carry heavy equipments like man lifts, generator, forklifts etc which were hard to load on regular/conventional recovery vehicles.
Our client looked for a solution to increase safety and decrease loading times so they looked out for a solution for more than 2 years and finally liked Al Ameen team design and experience in designing body dropping trailers. We had to go through 175 new designs to change the suspension which was failing using parts available in the market. It had taken more than 5 designers to design individual parts, everything from hubs, tyres, rim and axles were custom made to carry heavy loads. The hubs were specially made to carry 20 tons each though maximum the trailer would carry with its weight and full load would be 12 tons. One of the frustrating and challenging part was the tyres. We tested many tyres which had worn away during the tests as it could not withstand the load. The tyres are solid rubber and durable specially designed to fit interiors of the chassis. The hydraulics were specially made to take heavy loads and pull the deck at an angle. The chassis was one of the main challenges to fabricate as it had to account for roll as it did not have an axle. We did face rolling of the chassis sometimes about 40 mm and then did some correctional changes to make it aligned and work.
We at RAFRamps believe that we have to make the best loading solution in the region. After improving the manual jacks for 2 years we have released PowerJack which is custom landing jack which can work both manually and with motor with press of a button. All the components are of high quality and some of them are flown in from Italy. Here are the features of the MotorJack :-
i, 3 Phase Electric Italian Manufactured Electric Motor ii, Control Panel with Manual Buttons - Schneider iii, Gear Box - Italian manufacturer iv, Leveling Sensor for switching off when maximum or minimum heights are reached from Suzuki Japan v, The motors and panels are IP55 protected. RAF Trailers have been in business of making trailer for more than 15 years. One of the common mode of transportation of goods in Gulf and African region is flat trailer and skeleton trailers. Skeleton Trailers are much more fuel efficient compared to flat trailers and are cost efficeint due to their low maintenance. If you have deiced to buy a skeelton trailer, here are the features you will have to look into before buying one:- i, Length - First you will have to decide against length, would you want 20 ft or 40 ft. You can keep two 20 ft containers or one 40 ft container in 40 ft skeleton trailer. Accordingly the number of container lock pins change - 12 pins for 40 ft and 6 pins for 20 ft trailer. Check the number of pins if they are included in the quote provided by the supplier. ii, Chassis - This is the most important component of the trailer body, any compromise in the design and quality of steel used can cause problems not only in durability but also could increase cost of the maintenaince. Ask your vendor for drawings and load calculations have been done to assess if the structural design have been good. Also ask if MIG or Arc welding has been done as arc welding has been found to be stronger but MIG welding has been improving with technology. Chassis comprosis most of the weight of the trailer and it is imperative that right amount of steel is used as most of the trailer manufacturers in Gulf overuse steel which increases the fuel consumption and can also wear down the tires faster. iii, Axle - After chassis, axles are the most important component of a truck and a good quality axle can provide long stress free service in long run. There are many capacities of axles and also brands of axles. Ask the manufacturer of the loads that axles can take. In Gulf many companies use Chinese made CP, FUWA or expensive Germany made BPW. If you are looking to transport more than 500 km per week international shipment, it would be suggested to use expensive axle for hassle-free longterm use. iv, Suspension - If you are content with previous two compenents, the suspension is very important if you planning to drive on uneven or bumpy roads as uncompensated twin axle system can not only damage your chassis or tires but can reduce longevity of the axles. It is very important to understand Tandem Axle Bogie system and importance of having torque arm with reactive balance beam to prevent jerk when accelerating or decelerating. There is German and American types of suspension system. Read more about the types of suspensions you would need. v, Kingpin - If you are trading company, it is imperative to ask your client which kingpin is required. Some use 2.5 and others use 3.5 inch kingpin. In Gulf 3.5 inch is mainly used. vi, Brake and Electrical components - Braking system and electrical connections must be checked before dispatch. The pressure and brake system must be tested. Wabco brand is usually used for braking system. vii, Landing Gear - Landing gear is important for transport and logistics companies where they dispatch the trailer to the clients area and used for loading and unloading with forklift. It is very imperative to have quality landing gear for safety issues. JOST and FUWA brands are very good brands used as landing gears. viii, Rims & Tires - Quality Rims not only evenly distributes the load on tires also saves hassle of uneven wearing of tires. Good tires can save trouble of downtime and prevent accidents. Periodic checking of tires is recommended to notice any wear or tear of the tires. ix, Road Ready - It is very important to ask if your trailer is road ready and it conforms to local transport authority standards. Most manufacturers will charge extra to add accessories requires to pass the registration process. RTA of Dubai has made it mandatory to have VIN and register the flat and skeleton trailers. Ask your manufacturer if they can register or make trailer to comform to local standards. Click here to check out RAFTrailer Skeleton TrailersWe have recently received many requests from companies to bridge the difference in height and distance between the warehouse floor and vehicle in the most efficient way. Dock board is the most economical way to bridge the gap and does not require civil works like Dock levelers do. Here are four factors to take into account before asking for dock board:- i, Determine the Safe Working Load of Dock Board - To determine the S.W.L two things has to be determined as shown below: - Weight of the Unladen Forklift + Maximum payload to be taken = Load of the Dock board. Weight of the forklift can be found on plates usually punched on the forklift or ask the manufacturer for the specifications. ii, Type of forklift - electric or diesel / 3 wheeled forklift or 4 wheeled forklifts - Take into account the differences in 3 wheeled forklifts and 4 wheeled forklifts. If you are using a 3 wheeled forklift, then you will need to increase your dockboard capacity as the load distribution for 3 wheeled is different from four wheeled. Electric forklifts usually has lower base compared to diesel ones so electric forklifts require longer slope to climb so an increase in length of the dock board may be required. iii, Length of the dock board - You need to know the maximum difference between the height of the dock and the height of the highest truck bed. iv, Determine width - The width of the dock board should be at least 45 cms wider than your widest equipment passing over the board. We provide standard 2.2 - 2.3 m width which is standard container width. The width are same in GCC countries (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, UAE and Kuwait) Height Differential = Maximum height of most trailers (container trailers have165 cms) - your dock height (you measure this). Note that some of the container trailers in GCC come with 170 cms plus heights so we recommend getting longer dock boards. If you want to get a quick quote for dock board which is economical, safe way to load please contact us after you have determined the information above.
We have released drop deck trailer on first week of May to help industrial application of quickly loading and unloading heavy objects from the trailer. It is revolutionary idea to quickly load heavy objects without the help of crane or forklift and transport form one place to another. Here is a video that demonstrates it which was made for a military application. For more information please https://www.ameeneng.com/contact-us.html​
