Goodway Technologies
CC-201T Coil Cleaning System
What is a notable product or service that Goodway Technologies is offering to facility management professionals in 2018?
The CC-201T coil cleaning system offers facility managers and HVAC personnel with an ultra-portable system for cleaning coils all around the facility. These include split unit evaporator and condenser coils, as well mini splits systems, PTACS, and a variety of other coils and systems. Among the advantageous features of CC201T, one of the most important is its use of the CoilShine-T tablet technology. This tablet system eliminates the need to carry bulky and dangerous coil cleaning chemicals that can spill and cause injuries. Instead, the CoilShine-T has all the active ingredients needed to produce a heavy-duty foaming coil cleaner, in a small, drop-in tablet.
How can this offering help facility management leaders achieve their goals?
Facilities are always looking to improve efficiencies, and, often the HVAC system is the first place to look. Cleaning coils as part of ongoing maintenance can reap big savings. Dirty coils can account for an increase in energy use by over 25%. Additionally, employee safety is very important and reducing risk of injury due to chemical use is high on the list for facility managers. The CoilShine-T tablet system reduces this risk by removing the most dangerous part, the liquid.

Ladders/Lifts
JLG Industries, Inc.
JLG EcoLift
What is a notable product or service that JLG Industries is offering to facility management professionals in 2018?
The JLG EcoLift series offers a unique, cost-effective, and more productive alternative to traditional low-level access, such as ladders and scaffolding. The EcoLift series features an innovative, power-free design, thanks to a patented stored power lift/lower system that provides valuable operating capabilities. This helps boost productivity and lower total cost of ownership, as there is no battery to charge. The machine is always ready to use, and the owner saves electricity, eliminates dead battery calls, and saves money by not having to replace batteries. The lift/lower mechanism of EcoLift is easier to use and gives operators the confidence to tackle low-level tasks, while allowing for trouble-free, 24/7 use.
How is the offering relevant to the work of facility management leaders? How could it help them achieve their goals?
Efficiency and safety are the order of the day in a facility or office. For situations where a ladder isn’t the best option for the task at hand, consider the EcoLift Series from JLG. The innovative lift/lower mechanism is simple to use and makes it easy for operators to perform tasks such as changing light bulbs, hanging décor, or accessing HVAC ductwork. EcoLifts are power-free and have no oil, batteries, or hydraulics, also making these an eco-friendly, non-disruptive solution for sensitive facility environments.
