RITCHIE to Show at AMBEX 2005

RITCHIE, the gas cylinder handling and storage company returns to Harrogate and Ambex on 30 June - 2 July 2005.

RITCHIE market a range of solutions for the medical gas cylinder handling and storage problems that can effect ambulance stations. Visitors to the stand last year, described a whole range of issues including cylinder handling difficulties and no appropriate storage facilities.

More and more Ambulance Stations need suitable handling and storage solutions. This is due to the increased focus on H&S risk assessments regarding the lifting of weights and the need to increase staff levels and therefore reduce absenteeism due to preventable injuries.

On show will be the unique modular secure storage system which allows the gas supply company to exchange cylinders without attending ambulance staff on site; suitable for unmanned stations. The modular nature of the product also allows the use to change as priorities change; the number and type of cylinder stored can be altered without having to invest in whole new modules.

"We have exhibited at a number of shows in various different markets, but the buzz generated at Ambex last year was very impressive," said John MacAskill, Sales and Marketing Director for RITCHIE. "What was surprising was the obvious need for better handling and storage of gas cylinders at stations and the lack of innovative suitable products to achieve this. With the pressures on experienced, expensively trained staff it is vital that they are not exposed any unnecessary lifting risks."
