    WRS Going Green

    We have made the SWITCH

    A growing number of businesses are now making the move over to a renewable energy supply. More than a hundred of the world’s most influential companies have now made a commitment to shift to renewable power. it's about time we joined them. 

    Moving with the times, we have decided to adopt a greener future for ourselves and for the business, starting with moving our electricity provider. We believe that it's now necessary for WRS to take steps towards a brighter future for our planet. 

    we are not only looking at our energy usage, we are also working towards a green future regarding our waste management systems. At first, we implemented a single cardboard waste skip situated at the front of our workshops, here to correctly dispose of all office waste and overpackaged delivery goods. 

    But this skip quickly became the fastest filling skip on our site. We immediately found ourselves investing in additional cardboard skip, now used across all our engineering departments, further reducing our companies waste.

    BOOST Production

    Double Container Handling

    Hyster Company’s empty container handler can help port operations reap time and cost savings by handling two empty containers simultaneously. This double-handling capability provides particularly powerful advantages as organizations scale to handle growing demand while maintaining targets for efficiency and cost.

    Double container handling can help improve throughput and reduce congestion at ports – both inside the terminal and on roads. This helps reduce wait times for over-the-road freight trucks and optimizes traffic flows in and out of terminals. Double empty container handling can increase throughput by up to 30%, reducing cost per container moved and boosting profitability.

    3Meter Boom Cylinder Repair

    Telehandler Repair

    A long term customer of ours had their Manitou Telehandler fail on site, it was diagnosed as a fault with their boom cylinder. After the call our mobile hydraulic engineer Gavin visited their site, and with the help of their own site engineer we stripped the cylinder from the machine, then transported it back to our workshop for a full Professional repair. 

    when the cylinder landed it was over to Mark our experienced in house Hydraulic Engineer, he Fully Stripped the cylinder, Inspected the damage components to determine what repairs where needed, along with identifying the seals required. Having the cylinder in our workshop means this process can be done professionally, ensuring that hydraulics number 1 killer CONTAMINATION, is excluded from the start of the repair.

    Time for the Machining! The Tube was completed on our 3Meter Colchester machine, Whilst the Rod, piston and gland where polished using our XYZ Machines. Following our Rigorous repair checks ALL machined parts where fit tested to their Mating parts, steam cleaned to remove all CONTANIMENTS, and with their paper work filled out they where moved onto weld, build, test and paint. 

     

    Once back in the hydraulic workshop, the tube was welded in our Purpose built welding bay, where fumes/CONTANIMENTS are contained. Another cleaning process is complete ready for the final build and Paint. Pained using our hard wearing enamel paint, ready for some hard years work!

    Back into the mobile Hydraulic van! head to site for machine mounting, Once mounted the machine was fully tested to meet our customers satisfaction. 

    Another happy customer!
