All Together with the Cavs

IMG_8385The Cleveland Cavaliers are working hard to clinch the NBA Championship title.  To help them along their way, Conveyer & Caster – Equipment for Industry, with help from the Cavaliers and Central Graphics Group, have put up a countdown to the win banner. 

We caught Jeff Stohr, the President of Conveyer & Caster – Equipment for Industry crossing off number 13.“With the slogan for the playoffs run being ‘All Together’ this year, we thought it would be great to throw our support behind the Cavs and the community,” said Jeff.

Mike Hudak, who came up with the idea said, “I really hope we can cross out all the numbers this year, it would be great for the Cavs and it would mean so much for the community!” 

All it takes is 16 games to bring the Championship to its rightful home in Cleveland!  Drive or stop by our offices at 3501 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio to take a look.

Thanks again, QC Industries!

As the reigning firsties champion of the material handling world, QC Industries once again beat us to the punch in publishing a post about an article in which we were featured. Maybe it’s better that way, letting some one else send the praises.

The article is from the MHEDA Journal, an online publication put out by the Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association, or MHEDA. The article, entitled “The Rules Have Changed”, (we are number 4, so about 1/2 the way down) discusses how old business perceptions are changing as we move forward.  Our President, Jeff Stohr, wrote the article, and a highly unflattering picture of this author is featured.  Jeff wrote on social media, the internet, and blogging.  We take pride in our online presence, our Facebook page, twitter feed, this blog and our website are all part of our new marketing strategy.

We are glad to have partner’s like QC Industries out here with us.

Technical Article: Why Kingpinless Swivel Casters?

In heavy duty applications, the single biggest cause of caster failure is failure of the kingpin.  Kingpinless casters have been around for a while, and the subject of a previous blog post, but we decided it would be a good idea to go more in depth.  We produced a technical article that does just that.  Take a read!

New Article - How to Measure a Caster Stem

We've heard from our customers that one of their biggest frustrations is ordering the wrong caster stem. You know how it goes, you get the box from the delivery driver, open it up, they look right.  Then you take off the old ones and they don't fit. You know how this story ends.

So to help, we've created a new guide to help get the right measurements, the first time. Using two common tools, an adjustable wrench and a ruler, you will be able to get the right dimensions of a grip ring or threaded stem (by far the most common types).

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to let us know.

A Polish Lunch and Polka

Tom Glynn Accordionist Extrordinaire! We’d like to extend a special thanks to two of our employees, Ed Glynn and Mike Hudak. Our spirits needed lifting, and they rose to the occasion.  They put together an unofficial Poland Day lunch.  We weren’t quite sure why they chose Poland, but it all became clear this afternoon.  Ed’s father, Tom Glynn, is a proficient player of the Accordion, he studied under Ed Stefani!  An excellent lunch, and a great time, indeed.

Thanks again!
