ProMat is where manufacturing and supply chain professionals discover new trends and tech

This year’s exhibition takes place in Chicago on 20-23 March and gives supply chain professionals the opportunity to witness demos of cutting-edge tech and solutions, as well as meet up with their peers.

Among the more than 1,000 manufacturing, distribution and supply chain equipment solution providers that will be exhibiting – representing all segments of the material handling, logistics and transportation industries – will be overhead crane company Handling Systems International (HSI). The company’s director of business development, Bret Lussow, says: “It’s good to be back at Chicago after four years (because 2021 was virtual). We enjoy this show as it is in our home town.”

He went on to say that HSI will target its expanding dealer network at the event, and that he looks forward to seeing many familiar faces: “We will have many dealers visit our facility that week as we are only 12 miles from the McCormick convention centre, and we are planning on hosting a dealer event one evening.

“We will be showcasing our fast-growing NikoRail enclosed track product as well as some specialty items that will be a surprise to our customers.”

Reacting to the total number of exhibitors at the show surpassing 1,000, Steve Napieralski, president of Oz Lifting, says: “Having that many exhibitors should draw a lot of attendees, and Chicago being a central location should help as well. The cons, however, are you can get lost in the maze of exhibitors. We plan on getting the word out that we will be exhibiting and will be inviting a lot of distributors.”

Among the products on show is Oz Lifting’s Aluma-Lite “ultra-portable” davit crane. It is available in maximum 500lb and 1,000lb capacities, each available with three bases: pedestal, socket (flushmount) or wall-mount. The Aluma-Lite 500 weighs 24lb, while the Aluma-Lite 1,000 weighs 47lb. Both fold flat for storage or transportation, are made of aerospace/military-grade aluminium, and are available with a manual winch (including drill drive adapter), and AC or DC electric winches. No tools are needed for assembly/disassembly.

Its Amesphere is a safety-as-a-service cloud-based platform that uses data and real-time information to avoid collisions, allow vehicles and people to work safely together, and provide peace of mind for operators and management.

AME says it is easy to install and uses anti-collision technology that is precise to the centimetre. It also adaptable to the needs of all workplace environments

“We are very excited about Atmosphere,” says Claudio Salvador, president and CEO at AME. “It is the ultimate innovation to enhance protection and provide the perfect balance between safety and efficiency in the workplace. We are inviting everyone who is involved in site management to come and see how it works and how it will protect personnel, reduce operating costs, and add value to the business.”

Salvador concludes: “This is real gamechanging technology in how companies approach safety and takes us closer to making accidents a thing of the past. What a goal that would be!”

AME experts will be on hand at Booth N6422 to answer your questions.

Material handling equipment provider Blue Giant Equipment Corporation will also be at the show. Last autumn, it acquired controlling interest of ergonomic lift assist solutions company Cormac Industrial.

Located in Mexico, Cormac Industrial is a manufacturer and provider of industrial ergonomic lift assist equipment, including air balancers, jib cranes, overhead enclosed monorail systems, pneumatic lift tables, and lift assist systems. It has been providing engineered lift assist solutions for more than 30 years, for companies such as power technology firm Cummins and automotive businesses Volkswagen, Nissan and Stellantis.
