Show stoppers at IMHX
With more than 70% of stand space sold at IMHX 2010, preparations are already under way for many exhibitors. We look at what special features visitors can expect at the show in November.
Taking place at the NEC, Birmingham, from 16-19 November, the International Materials Handling Exhibition (IMHX) is the undisputed leader in UK logistics events, ably demonstrated by the fact that exhibitor space at the show is over 70% sold already. With the event co-owned by BITA (British Industrial Truck Association), IMHX has always had a large core of support from the materials handling equipment (MHE) sector but the show has also attracted increasing numbers of automated handling exhibitors, as well as software providers and consultancy firms.
VIDEO: Cooper rises to the intermodal challenge
The Daventry International Railfreight Terminal (DIRFT) is one of the largest inland intermodal terminals in the UK. Across its 25 acres spans a total of 10km of rail track allowing 119 trains per week to move through the terminal. When Malcolm Rail was appointed operator of the DIRFT terminal in 2008, it needed a materials handling supplier that could maximise work flow and provide a low life cost solution to the nearly 6,000 lifts per week that were required.
The development of rail terminal operations has been a major plank in Malcolm Rail’s investment and development strategy over the past five years. With rail terminal operations at Linwood (Elderslie Terminal), Grangemouth and DIRFT, on-site terminal operations at British Gypsum’s Kirkby Thore plant and well-established rail links at Aberdeen and Mossend, Malcolm Rail now provides a substantial range of intermodal services which handle UK and European rail/road movements.
