A new era dawns for British manufacturing

March 19, 2010 - PRLog -- After a successful 10 year partnership with their German manufacturer in the design and on-going development of suction lifting machines of the highest quality, the Oktopus Group have some exciting news.

As a result of global inquiries and encouraged by installers throughout the UK and beyond, the Oktopus Group has incorporated all its experience and data accumulated over the years to launch the next generation of   suction lifting machines that offer technical superiority and innovative creativity.

The new range of British built vacuum lifting machinery has been designed and engineered to incorporate dual circuit technology. Each is a much more powerful system, but at the same time takes into consideration the very latest demands of Health and Safety legislation.

The first of these machines is called ‘Dual Tech’ and has been manufactured by GTR Engineering Limited a sub division launched from within the Oktopus Group. GTR Engineering Limited specialise in the design and manufacturing of vacuum suction machinery. They also have an inclusive servicing department specialising in the technical modifications and repairs of machinery, including electronic remote control systems. The ‘Dual Tech’ is now ready to come off the production line and will be used on construction sites across the world. Initial orders have been received and we are dealing with the demand.

‘Dual Tech’ has been designed with the installer in mind who will be delighted to learn that the cost will be considerably less than previous suction lifting machines.
