WHERE long or difficult loads are concerned, like in the construction retail industry, Hubtex multidirectional and side-loaders will make a significant difference in South Africa as many operations here are still employing unsuitable technology. This is the opinion of Thomas Schmitt, Hubtex Germanys key-account manager, responsible for liaison between Goscor Lift Truck Company (GLTC,) the Southern African distributors of Hubtex, and Hubtex head office in Fulda, Germany.

I noticed on my recent trip to South Africa, that many companies in the construction industry are using traditional, front-loading forklifts in their long-load applications. The result is inefficient utilisation of warehouse and yard space and a significant reduction in productivity all-round, says Schmitt.

Goscor Lift Truck Company Sales Director Patrick Barber agrees. The Hubtex technology, which enables long loads to be handled in narrow aisles, will save several companies a lot of money in South Africa. It is true that many operations in this country that have specialised load-handling requirements are not using the correct technology. We have started showing these companies the benefits of the Hubtex range and I have no doubt that demand will grow exponentially for these machines with time, he says.

Two machines that have proven themselves in these industries worldwide are the Hubtex DQ diesel/gas multidirectional sideloader and the Hubtex Electric sideloaders.

The former, with diesel or gas drive, is an extremely robust machine developed for indoor and outdoor use. With its hydrostatic all-wheel drive and independently activatable differential lock it is suited to all surfaces including poor ground or floor conditions. Also, the multidirectional steering enables optimal handling of long and bulky loads and the efficient use of storage space.

The superior High Performance Steering (HPS) steering system of our multidirectional sideloaders ensures the shortest changeover time from lengthwise to crosswise drive. In fact research has shown that compared to conventional steering systems the Hubtex HPS enables a 60% faster changeover and, in addition, has up to a 30% smaller turning radius by means of its load wheels, says Schmitt.

He adds that in lengthwise drive, the Hubtex DQ series can quickly transport long material through narrow doors and aisles, in crosswise drive it can be used as a conventional front loader while circle drive enables the fast turning of the truck. This overall agility can save up to 50% floor space, Schmitt says.

The Hubtex sideloader series, which is electric, diesel or LPG-powered, is designed to maximise long-load storage density providing room for additional racks and enhanced storage capacities. Not only do these trucks enable up to 100% more storage space than conventional forklifts, but their unique design also allows quick, safe and efficient operation with reduced load damage, Schmitt says.

The heavy-duty, diesel sideloaders are specifically designed for demanding operations and provide exceptional performance with proven stability.

With capacities of up to 40 tons and load bed widths of up to 2,500mm these workhorses have proven themselves in the toughest operations in theconstruction industry.

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- New shops will soon be coming to the west valley, now that phase 2 of Tivoli Village is well underway.

The new building, currently under construction, will have 200,000 square feet of retail space, but it's only the beginning of new things to come.

Opening a few years ago during the tail end of the recession, Tivoli Village got off to a slow start.

"We frankly went through a stretch of 3 to 4 years when retailers wouldn't even look at Las Vegas, it just wasn't a market where retailers would come into," said Patrick Done, president of Tivoli Village.

But with ample crowds now checking out many of their regional-based restaurants and shops, construction is well underway on phase 2, which is expected to be primarily retail.

"We'll have a strong home furnishings presence, we'll also have a strong fashion presence with national retailers," said Done.

Next up is the third phase, a residential building with 300 units. But in between the second and third phases, the developer said their is now room for a boutique hotel to be constructed and said they've already been in touch with some major international brands.

"This hotel is very distinct from what you see in the market, it's a boutique hotel and will cater to business travelers and it is also of a size that will fit well in our development," said Done.

What price scenario do you see in Mumbai and other cities? On the whole, 2013 proved to be an exciting and eventful year for the real estate market in the country. With the passing of Real Estate Regulatory Bill and the Land Acquisition Bill in the parliament, the real estate market is on the cusp of new developments. We are hoping that these new regulations will bring some stability in the sector.

With respect to Mumbai, the real estate in the city is bit fragmented owing to the geographical conditions (its an island city) and hence there are pockets of markets that have emerged over a period of time. These pockets are unique and have their own characteristics as a result of which we have some high growth pockets and some slow growth ones. Affordable housing is proving to be a big challenge in the city as the land prices are sky rocketing in the city.

With funding secured and construction companies readying their crews, work to convert the long-abandoned, 1.4-million-square-foot Sears Crosstown building into a "vertical urban village" with health-care, arts, education, retail, and residential space should begin this spring.

But for our April 29, 1999, issue, when the building was nothing more than a hulking, big empty, we held a contest asking our readers what they'd like to see fill the space. Those with the 10 best answers were awarded a Flyer T-shirt.

Answers were all over the place, but reader Joel Edlin had perhaps the most far-fetched idea: "Turn it into a BIG ASS JAIL. Bet we could fill it up, just like Sears did on August 8, 1927, with 47,000 customers."

Adrienne Faires thought the building would make a nice American Red Cross distribution and training center, while Oscar F. Williams envisioned the Crosstown building as a hotel that would help Memphis attract more conventions.

Les Poppenheimer had visions of suburbia in the inner city with dreams of a Crosstown outlet mall with one retailer per floor. Fabian Baron saw the place as a future subsidized senior living center, where seniors paid rent based on their incomes.

Jay C. Schechtman thought we could use the Crosstown building for a little worldwide philanthropy by converting the building into the Southern Trading Center, where we would "display the products and services of South America, Africa, South Asia, and Australia. We could create jobs in Memphis, and assist underdeveloped countries [in] securing a foothold in American trade."

When the renovated Crosstown building opens in 2016, there will be an educational component with the Memphis Teacher Residency and Rhodes College setting up office space inside. Long-time (and now deceased) Flyer reader and letter-writer Arthur Prince may have glanced into the future with his idea of turning the building into an institute of higher education, or a "tower of learning," as Prince wrote.

Frank Crumby wasn't terribly far off from today's plans of including residential and retail space, but in his plan, the entire building would have been devoted to luxury living.

"Her new name would be The Evergreens. She would be a mix of upscale spacious condos on the top floors and the tower, apartments on the middle floors, and retail [which] would feature services to appeal to the large number of residents, such as dry cleaners, hair salons, convenience stores, etc. The building also offers plenty of space for a spa, indoor pool, and racquetball. The Evergreens could be the ultimate address," Crumby wrote.

If we had been gamblers back in 1999, we should have bet on the suggestions of Harold F. Keuper and Brantley Ellzey. While the current plans for Crosstown include the medical industry namely the Church Health Center and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital offices it's being fused with an arts component. Inside the building, there will be artist working spaces and studios, an art gallery, and performance space.

Bottega Americana partners (from left) Greg Van de Velde, Dave Warner, Giuseppe Ciuffa, and Chad Ruyle in the East Village space slated to become a restaurant and urban marketplace.

London has its Harrods food hall, Paris its Le Bon March Grand Epiciere, New York its Eataly. This summer, San Diegos East Village will have Bottega Americano, a first-of-its kind foodery inspired by those urban marketplaces.

The Bottega project combines a moderately-priced sit-down restaurant, interactive culinary stations, gourmet retail space, grab-and-go dining options, a bar, patio and private indoor/outdoor space for weddings, parties and corporate events.

Bottega Americano will use patio space at the Thomas Jefferson School of Law for private events. Eduardo Contreras

The $3 million, approximately 8,000-square-foot marketplace, located on the first floor of the Thomas Jefferson School of Law building on Island Avenue, is two blocks north of the new Central Library and is at the epicenter of downtowns residential and commercial construction boom.

During a tour of the still-under-construction space Tuesday, Bottega Americanos four partners said they expect the project to draw from the neighborhoods burgeoning condo and rental developments, new corporate offices, tourists, as well as residents from throughout the county.

When it opens, well be the first ones to do something like this, culinarily, said chef Giuseppe Ciuffa, founder of Giuseppe Restaurants & Fine Catering. Where else can you get a complete meal to go and have a high-quality full sit-down space all under one roof?

The menu and prepared food will be produce-driven, urban Italian with an American twist, with pizza, cured meats, fresh mozzarella, Italian wine and specialty coffees among the expected offerings.

Unlike other food halls, like Eataly, where customers have to order at separate counters or buy products from different vendors, Bottega Americanos retail will be under one umbrella and customers can order off a master menu.

Youre going into a culinary blind date when you come here, joked Ciuffa. Quickly chiming in was partner and fellow chef David Warner: But were very good matchmakers.

EMPORIUM Two Act 14 Notifications were received for pipeline projects that will benefit the oil and gas industry in Cameron County.

The first notice was received from Kleinfelder, an engineering firm based in Cranberry, on behalf of NFG Midstream Clermont LLC for the Clermont to Rich Valley Pipeline.

Two 16-inch diameter water lines one 16-inch gathering line and one 8-inch gathering line will be installed along a 5.6-mile stretch spanning Norwich Township in McKean County and Shippen Township in Cameron County.

According to documentation sent to the Cameron County Commissioners by Kleinfelder, the project will result in a total of 82 acres of earth disturbance and will require four wetland crossings and seven stream crossings.

The 4.2-mile stretch in Cameron County crosses a waterway known as Elk Fork, still marked on many maps as the Elk River due to its extremely long length. The Elk River is a tributary of the Driftwood Branch of the Sinnemahoning Creek and is a native trout stream of extremely high quality.

The pipeline will also cross near the headwaters of Cooks Run, which empties into the Driftwood Branch in Rich Valley.

A second notice was received from Kleinfelder concerning the EQT Lateral project in Shippen Township, southeast of Howard Siding.

Additional pipeline is being laid in the area of Hicks Run, with the identified section being a 0.9-mile stretch east of State Game Lands 14 near Whippoorwill Hollow and crossing Bigger Run. The project will see installation of 6-inch diameter natural gas pipeline and a permanent access road.

The commissioners have received word the bridge at Lick Island in southern Cameron County, near Sinnemahoning, has been scheduled and is expected to be completed by the end of June.

In other news, an inmate housing agreement was approved with Potter County to increase the rate paid for male inmates to $60 per day plus medical costs.
