DISC-LOCK ATTENDS THE NORTHWESTERN SHOWMEN’S CLUB 32ND ANNAUL SAFETY SEMINAR 

            Culver City, Calif. – February 27, 2012 – DISC-LOCK International recently attended and lectured at the Northwestern Showmen’s Club Safety Seminar (NWSC SS) in Portland, Oregon.

            Entering its 32nd year, the Northwestern Showmen’s Club Safety Seminar is designed to deliver quality education and certification while meeting the challenge and need for safety awareness and training within the amusement industry. The NWSC SS is aligned with Portland State University for accreditation in their continuing education program while providing four continuing education units, or CEU’s, for participation and completion of the annual seminar.

            “This safety seminar is compelling because it enables us to come in contact with people and companies for which our DISC-LOCK vibration-proof fastening systems are ideally suited,” saidAlistair McKinlay, Chairman of DISC-LOCKInternational. “Safety and accident prevention are top priorities for amusement park patrons and employees,” added McKinlay.

            “Our seminar titled, Safe Bolting Practices, is a comprehensive, hands-on demonstration of our entire line of fastening solutions,” said Greg White, Vice President of DISC-LOCK. “Amusement ride fasteners are subject to the elements of vibration, shock and stress which can combine to cause a serious ride failure which our fasteners are designed to prevent,” added White.

            DISC-LOCK vibration-proof fasteners can be used in several areas of the amusement industry including, but not limited to; amusement ride bolted joints, motor mounts, hydraulic fittings, pneumatic components, ride platform joints, rail track joints, railcar components, ride frame and assembly structures and any bolted joint that receives stress. The distinguishing feature of the DISC-LOCK fastening systems that set them apart from conventional fasteners, revolves around the patented cam-action of the DISC-LOCK nut along with the free-spinning characteristic of the nut.

DISC-LOCK ATTENDS THE AWEA HOSTED WINDPOWER 2011 CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION 

            Culver City, Calif. – May 31, 2011 – DISC-LOCK International recently attended the AWEA (American Wind Energy Association) hosted WINDPOWER 2011 Conference and Exhibition in Anaheim, California.

            Organized by AWEA, the conference is a perfect blend of education, exhibition, and networking, offering unparalleled access to the wind industry for those serious about capitalizing on this growing market.

            “This conference showcases exciting opportunities for our company which is entering the wind market and brings wind leaders together to address America’s economic, energy, and climate challenges,” said Alistair McKinlay, Chairman of DISC-LOCK International. “The wind power industry is a new market for us and numerous suppliers to this market can use our vibration resistant fasteners,” added McKinlay.

            “Meeting wind power industry specialists at a conference like this can produce fresh partnerships and sales opportunities,” said Greg White, Vice President of DISC-LOCK. “There is a wind industry goal of supplying 20% of electricity nationwide by 2030. To achieve this goal, the industry will need to add an additional 65,000 turbines between now and 2030 and we intend to sell our vibration-proof fasteners to several suppliers of these turbines,” added White.

            DISC-LOCK vibration-proof fasteners can be used in several areas of the wind power market including, but not limited to; tower base fasteners, tower joints, turbine blades, turbine generators and braking systems.  Cyclic stresses produced by rotating turbine blades that will stress and fatigue conventional fasteners will not affect DISC-LOCK fasteners.

            The distinguishing feature of the DISC-LOCK fastening systems that set them apart from traditional fasteners, revolves around the patented cam-action of the DISC-LOCK nut along with the free-spinning characteristic of the nut.

DISC-LOCK (TM) International QUOTED IN

WASTE & RECYCLING NEWS SAFETY ARTICLE

 

            Culver City, Calif. – September 16, 2010 – DISC-LOCK International, a California based company specializing in the manufacture and distribution of safe and secure fastening systems, including the Safety Wheel Nut, was quoted in a wheel safety article in the September 13, 2010 issue of Waste & Recycling News. 

            The Waste & Recycling News wheel safety article highlights the problem of “wheel-offs” as a substantial issue with all fleets. DISC-LOCK Vice President, Greg White was quoted along with Chip Todd, National Sales Manager for Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co. LLC, stating that commercial vehicles that start and stop all day on their routes are very susceptible to wheel loss incidents.

                        “Wheel separations from trucks, trailers and buses are a serious problem, causing accidents, injuries, property damage and fatalities,” said Alistair McKinlay, Chairman of DISC-LOCK International. “Truck manufactures and trucking fleets are recognizing that our Safety Wheel Nut is an essential safety device, although some national associations continue to claim that they are not aware that wheel-offs are an issue,” added McKinlay.

            “We appreciate Waste & Recycling News, with their extended magazine readership, helping explain the seriousness of the wheel-off issues in the transportation and trucking industry,” said Greg White, Vice President of DISC-LOCK International.  “Our Safety Wheel Nuts, when correctly installed, maintain their clamping force and will not loosen due to vibration and stress, thus preventing wheel loss,” added White.

            White and Todd both agreed that trucking companies and fleets do not like to publically talk about wheel-off problems, but they still remain a potential disaster waiting to occur each day if wheels are not properly fitted and maintained.
