Barricades are essential safety measures when using boom and scissor lifts, safeguarding both the workers on the lift and people nearby. Here are 5 reasons why barricades are so crucial.

1. Prevents unauthorized access: Barricades serve as a physical barrier that prevents unauthorized individuals from entering the work area, reducing the risk of accidents involving untrained or unaware personnel near operating machinery. They are particularly important when working with uninsulated aerial lifts, as unauthorized access could result in the danger of electrical shocks.
2. Protection from falling objects: Operating boom and scissor lifts at height carries the risk of tools or materials falling. Barricades establish a designated safety zone around the lift, helping to protect workers and bystanders below from injury. When combined with other safety measures such as tool tethers and debris nets, barricades provide protection against falling objects.
3. Creates safe work zones: Barricades set clear boundaries that keep equipment and personnel safely away from the operating lift, reducing the chances of collisions. They also help maintain organization on the worksite, allowing workers on the lift to concentrate on their tasks without distractions or added hazards.
4. Communicates hazards: Barricades, particularly when paired with warning signs, effectively designate hazardous zones and warn people about potential risks related to lift operations. These visual signals encourage individuals to proceed with caution and stay clear of the restricted area.
5. Reduces liability: OSHA regulations and other safety standards require the use of barricades around aerial lifts to protect workers. Properly implementing barricades shows a dedication to safety and can help minimize liability in case of an accident.

The Elumatec SBZ 122/71 is a CNC profile machining center engineered for efficient and cost-effective processing of aluminum, PVC, and thin-walled steel profiles. Its 3-axis machine includes features such as automatic clamp positioning and detection, a rotating angle head for multi-sided machining, and an ergonomic design to enhance operator comfort.

The key features of an Elumatec SBZ 122/71 include:

• 3-Axis Control: Provides precise and flexible machining capabilities across the X, Y, and Z axes.
• Rotating Angle Head: A standout feature is the rotating angle head, adjustable to 0°, -90°, -180°, and -270°, allowing for multi-sided machining of the profile.
• Automatic Clamp Positioning and Recognition: The machine automatically detects and positions clamps, minimizing the risk of collisions and promoting efficient material handling.
• Stationary Profile Machining: Routing, drilling, and tapping operations are carried out while the profile bar remains stationary, helping to preserve its surface finish.
• Ergonomic Design: An ergonomic working environment is supported by features such as a modern inclined bed, an exposed spindle, and a height-adjustable control unit.
• Intelligent Control Technology: The machine employs advanced control technology and dynamic servo drives to deliver accurate and efficient machining.
• Automatic Tool Changer: An automatic tool changer is integrated into the machine to reduce downtime and enhance productivity.
• Safety Features: Operator safety is improved through features such as a protective enclosure and remote-controlled clamp activation.
• Wide Machining Area: Provides a spacious machining area designed to accommodate high-volume or large-size profiles.
• Reduced Footprint: Although highly capable, the machine is designed with a compact footprint to facilitate easier installation.

The Elumatec SBZ 122/71 is well-suited for various applications, including metal construction, window and door manufacturing, and general profile machining.

New York Tech’s Biomedical Research, Innovation, and Imaging Center is a leading hub for collaborative biomedical research on Long Island. The center brings together specialists in osteopathic medicine, computer science, engineering, chemistry, and materials science to address critical health issues. As New York Tech works toward achieving R2 status, a Carnegie classification for institutions with high research activity, The Biomedical Research, Innovation, and Imaging Center is instrumental in developing innovative methods for diagnosing and treating diseases.

On January 2, 2025, Above All Store Fronts was proud to be part of a big project, completing a new 4-story addition and expansion to the existing hospital. A total of 42 new cardiac care unit patient rooms on two floors were added, along with three new triage/reception storefronts using a custom CRL 478 series framing, 9/16” electric laminated glazing with Stanley manual sliders and round mirrors. Boatloads of 9/16” + ½” clear tempered/low-iron laminated channel glazing were added at shared workspaces and garden walls. The team at Above All Store Fronts also installed 24 custom white painted aluminum wall-mounted garden boxes in the waiting rooms, Bendheim textured glazing and glass doors at multi-purpose rooms, McGrory Captivehook glass systems at corridor/elevator lobbies, and 30+ Besam SW200i low-energy auto operators/wave plates.

Supporting the Biomedical Research, Innovation, and Imaging Center means investing in the next generation of students who will drive biomedical breakthroughs, create innovative treatments, and redefine the future of healthcare. With access to cutting-edge tools, expert mentorship, and hands-on experience, students will be empowered to confront today’s most urgent health challenges.
