Industrial lift manufacturing is a niche business and a very complicated one. Engineering has evolved to cover the needs of even the most demanding applications. ShuttleLift is regarded as an example of such company constituted by people with long experience in the industrial lift manufacturing sector. At first sight even a non-experienced eye will notice that there is a significant difference between SL and ISL models regarding the traversing hook. Considering though the rational behind this difference you will notice that SL is carefully designed to provide more load stability. The "stability" feature is really important and perhaps wrongly depreciated by some people in terms of load security. Apart from increased stability, the company has also added another feature to the main body enabling it to improve cycle lifting time and save valuable time. Product customization is an even more advanced option offered by ShuttleLift for customers who wish to increase lifting capa...

Making a house a home might though take more time than you expected and probably more money... especially if you do not know where to look, or if you feel that your choices are limited and cannot find what you are looking for. I was browsing online shops, assessing them by price and variety, to decorate my new bought home in Ibiza. That's when I found Terry's Fabrics, offering everything to decorate your home with, at very good prices and unique designs. But what I was most amazed to find is a great range of very good quality curtain poles. I needed some special ones, (sun in Ibiza might be quite strong and therefore you certainly need to have have two or three layer curtains which also do not block the natural light), but I also wanted them to look elegant. Went through their website, picked up a couple of fresh ideas from ...

A UK house crisis has been expeced for some time but opinion was strongly divided between analysts and estate agents as to the state of the market. So yesterday for the first time in 6 years Bloomberg reported a 0.1% drop in house prices. This is not a jaw-dropping figure, it could however signify an ongoing trend. Many house owners are expected to sell in a hurry to avoid further losses which can deepen the crisis. Risk analyst Rita Taplatzidou talked to us about the underlying trends for house pricing in the UK: "The August drop in London house prices has raised a lot of concern about whether or not this fall is an early warning signal that even the buoyant London economy is susceptible to market forces, as it is the first we have seen for quite some time. The reason why property price movements in London are considered highly significant is because in recent times, downward trends in the markets have had no effect on prices in the capital. This makes sense, as the capital and ...

The HSBC bank is advising overseas property investors to be vigilant during their first purchases abroad. Differences in legislation are the main cause for headaches when purchasing a property overseas so it is advisable to get sound legal advice. The British bank also highlighted a small drop in overall sales for overseas properties, with more people investing in retirement homes in Spain and France. This view has also been confirmed by Barclays Investment and highlights a trend that is set to grow in forthcoming years. Don't forget that the power of the pound £ over the Euro is making things easier for UK residents but for how long is this likely to be the case noone knows. In addition as foreign countries develop the price of properties is set to increase. Will Britons be able to buy with such ease in 10 years? Might be a case of simply wait and see.

The internet has affected the way we buy or rent houses almost as significantly as it has affected travel bookings. The revolution in house-viewing and the limited time people have to do this has led in the boom of multimedia use online. Despite the availabilty of some products though, traditional estate agents have been slow to adopt some of the new technologies. Most websites offer pictures (if you are lucky). The pictures usually lack depth and "hide" some of the property's downsides. AgentCasts are hitting the market with a revolutionary product that brings property agents closer to the benefits of Web 2.0 At the heart of this strategy is content enhancement through audio and video. By enabling both property owners and real estate professionals to better communicate their message to buyers and tenants AgentCasts are looking to increase conversions. The company offers a complete suite for production, syndication and distribution of podcasts and videocasts. This is an o...

A lot of investors friends tend to use their new properties for a couple of years before they sell on. They do this for two reasons. One is that they like to enjoy the space and sourounding area. Second reason is that they usually refurbish the house before they resell it, to be able to command a higher price. There is also the occasion when someone buys-to-let. One way or another people are eager to experience the property and the area for at least one holiday season before they move on (excluding the professionals amongst us). Relocation might be a heavy word but a move is surely on the cards. Moving as you might know is not an easy business. Some times the costs of moving alone can be hugely discouraging to a first time buyer of holiday property. Unless you have enough money tucked away to furnish the place from ground up, you will need the expert services of a moving company. The next obvious problem is therefore shopping around for a good deal and most importantly a reliable so...

Growth is expected to sustain throughout this year and there is a positive outlook amongst the Australian finance community that recent changes could signal a revival of the market.

When you first look at Extate it is not very different from any other search engine. Clean-cut design and a large search box. You almost instantly realise that there is more to this than meets the eye. Firstly the video functionality, where house owners and property agents can load videos of the property, giving you a much better feel of what the space feels like. The second and most important aspect is the natural language search capability . Extate makes it so easy to search for properties by just typing a few search words and the results are impressive, to say the least, most of the times. A simple search for a house in Liverpool reveals a range of relevant properties on the fly. You can then refine your search by sales or lettings and choose different price options, number of bedrooms, bathrooms etc. Not all searches return results, sometimes when drilling down to a specific sub-location in London for example, however this might be improved once there are more properties in the d...
