Company Description
Designers, manufacturers and distributors of Technogrid ® strain absorption devices, levelok ® Cage and skip holding systems, Hydraulic presses, Oleo hydraulic buffers and Gantrail ® rail fastening systems.
The company supplies a complete applications engineering service and a comprehensive after sales technical back-up.
- Technogrid®
The Technogrid® is a strain energy absorption device which absorbs the kinetic, or potential energy, of a moving object by deforming a metal grid of known design and characteristics through stroke deformation of predicted value.
The Technogrid® is a series of multi bar units that are connected in a staggered grid shape. On impact, the grid bars will yield and deform under double curvature bending. The yielding of the bars is what allows the units to "open up" and stroke, and it is the strain hardening of the material that absorbs the impact energy.
The Technogrids® can absorb any impact as long as the crash/catch framework is designed to put the Technogrids®into tension.
- levelok®
The levelok® system consists of a power pack and clamps which hold a cage or skip steady during the transfer of loads. The clamps then release their grip at a controlled rate to allow the rope stretch to be taken up smoothly.
The levelok® system has been developed over the last thirty years and is currently being used in mines in Southern Africa, North America and Australia. During this time the safety record of levelok® has been excellent. Ongoing improvements to the system have ensured that the system is even safer today.
Emergency braking under slack rope conditions can easily be added into a standard levelok® cage holding system. This is achieved by incorporating an accumulator in the system.
- Oleo Hydraulic Buffers
Oleo Hydraulic buffers absorb all the energy of an impacting body by dissapating the energy internally and stops the impacting body with no damage whatsoever.
The industrial buffers are sealed units and are maintanance free. They can handle many impacts on a daily basis and will typically last 10 to 15 years, under normal conditions with no maintanance required. The buffers are designed and specified according to each individual application to ensure that the buffers will absorb whatever the particular installation can throw at them.
- Oleo Sliding End Stop
The rail end stop is intended as the final fail-safe in an end of the rail line impact. The impact energy is absorbed by friction clamps installed on the rail and the Oleo hydraulic buffer.
- Oleo Lift Buffers
Oleo offers a complete range of lift buffers for all types of lifts. This buffer range is specifically designed for lift applications. For further information please log on to the following link www.oleo.co.uk.
- Custom Made Hydraulic Presses
Horne has many years experience in the design and manufacture of specialized presses. Horne has the capability to design the presses to meet the clients exact needs and requirements. The specialized presses that Horne has produced are widely used in the brake pad manufacturing industry by a number of brake pad manufacturers. We offer technical and backup support for all the presses that we have supplied.
- Gantrail
The 'soft mounted' crane rail fastening system is the most common system used nowadays for securing crane rails. The reasons why the system is so successful, is that the clips are easy to install, the clips are easily adjustable (even during maintenance 10 years later) and the slight rotation of the rail which is provided by the rubber pad, prolongs the rail and crane wheel lifespan
