Steel Safety Bollards


Mighty Lift has had a great reaction to their new product line. The Mighty Rail is a inplant safety guard rail system designed to protect products, people and performance. The rail profile being stocked in both Houston and Portland is 14.5" which makes it one of the larger and more substantial on the market. The great thing is that thru Mighty Lifts volume buying and corporate position it is being offered to you, the material handling dealer at savings of as much as 30% over other brands. Do not mistake lower cost for lower quality....the Mighty Rail is a brute.

If you get into a very competitive situation and a smaller rail profile is appropriate, then the 10" version might be the ticket. Call your Mighty Lift office or me to discuss it.

Another thing of interest to the dealer looking for value for their customer is our Safety Bollard. 4.5" or 5.5" in diameter and 42" tall, it is available in both .25" wall thickness and .125" wall thickness. The current inventory is the better seller at .125" wall. This allows for more than adequate protection in most applications. If the exposure is to the heavier side, call for a quote.

A visit to MightyRail PDF will get you the specs on the line. If you need something not included on the part list, check with us...we are adding to the product line almost daily.

Material Handling Products

I am proud to announce that G21 Business Services is now acting as the business development partner for Mighty Lift Inc. Mighty Lift has fully staffed offices and more importantly, large inventories in Portland, OR and Houston, TX. They also maintain inventories in other strategically located cities. Business to business sellers like material handling houses, forklift houses and commercial door dealers will be interested in the lines offered by Mighty Lift. After all; offering the industrial customers in your market area the finest, most affordable products and then being around to make sure they get ROI is your mission.

Mighty Lift currently has a new website under construction as does G21. Until then most of the product line can be viewed at www.mightylift.com.

G21 will continue to represent Visual App to the same demographic; web services such as website design, SEO, PPC (pay per click)management as well as print design and production services. Visit their site at www.visualapp.com.

I Love Southwest Airline

Many of you know me and know that I am a wheelchair user. A T-10 paraplegic. Thru the years I have bowled, played wheelchair basketball, bass fished at the national level, hunted and lately flown private planes. I have no idea how many commercial flights I have been on but over the last 40 plus years (in the material handling business)....many. The first was to Jonesboro for the very first Hytrol sales school conducted by Sam Leone.

I say all of this to shine a spotlight on a level of customer service we should all aspire to...that of Southwest Airlines. I am actually ranting against American Airlines but always try to spin things to the positive. Every good thing I can say about Southwest you can rest assured that American does it the exact opposite. I will spare you the details but I am writing this from Dunn, NC where I am visiting my daughter and her family.

Lee (my wife) and I got here on the flight from Hell with....wait for it.......American Airlines. We purchased the flight three months in advance and checked into the flight two hours before the flight. I am capable of moving from seat to seat with a little help, but spent the pre-flight time listening to the ground crew fight with the customer service crew about who's fault it was that there was no aisle chair at the gate. They argued about it so long that the plane was boarded and they had to put me on at the very end to keep the flight from departing late. They put Lee and I in 32 A & B. For those of you unfamiliar with a MD-80 that is the last two seats...looking out the window on the engine cowling.

The thing that most infuriated Lee was the suggestion by the lady on the DFW based ground crew. If we (the customer) had booked the flight correctly, none of this would have happened.

A pox on your house American Airline. You deserve the losses you suffer and until we (the customer) become your focus you will never make money. I will continue to arrange my travel around the schedule of Southwest...they get it. Their employees will do anything to make my travel enjoyable. I will only fly AA when I cannot get there any other way.

Free to Succeed Means Free to Fail

In thinking about the Fourth of July and our unique freedom I thought...........

We are created by a God that gives us freedom to choose how to live. We live in a country that allows us the freedom to decide how we conduct our lives. That leads to the title of this very short post. If we do not choose to succeed we are choosing to fail. If we stop trying, stop learning, stop dreaming our lives will become hollow, no matter how much money we have.

Happy Fourth and God Bless America
