How to Choose the Right Bed Frame Time for a Change

January 18, 2016 by Reporter Leave a Comment

the right bedframe and mattress

If your bed is old and worn out, it might be the time for buying a new one. There are a lot of things to consider before you make an investment in such an expensive purchase though, and going the cheapest route isn’t always the best idea. Read on for more information on how to be sure that you select the right bed frame that matches your mattress.

Match Them Up

Most bed stores recommend that their customers choose their mattress and box springs before they pick out their bed frame when they go furniture shopping. The reason for this is that the comfort of the mattress is the most important to a good night’s sleep. Also, some mattresses and box springs come in varying heights, and the frame has to match them properly. For instance, pillow top mattresses are a bit thicker than regular mattresses, which means if you buy this type of mattress, you must select a frame with a head and foot board that are a bit taller. Just to be sure you get the right one, bring a tape measure along with you to measure the mattress and box springs, so you know how far they will come up on the frame. If you are an exceptionally tall person, don’t forget to measure the length as well as the width. It also helps to know the dimensions of the room that the bed will be in, so you know that the bed frame will fit in it without being too crowded.

Fit Your Decorating Style

The bed frame should match your accessories and decorating style, yet be sturdy and solid, so it will last for many years to come. If you aren’t sure what your decorating style is, look around the rest of your home. Are the pieces modern and sleek? If so, a metal bed frame might fit in perfectly. Or, do you have lots of antiques and country accessories? In that case, a four poster bed frame might do the trick. Take a picture of your bedroom along with you when you shop for your bed frame, so you can be sure to get one that you know you’ll love.

Staying in Your Budget

Before you go bed frames shopping, sit down and calculate a budget that you know you can afford. Keep in mind that going the least expensive route isn’t always a good idea. It is important to consider who the bed frame is going to be for when you determine the amount that you want to spend. For instance, if the bed frame is for a child, it needs to be safe and stand up to little ones that love jumping on the bed. If the bed is for a teenager then it should be mature enough in design that it can possibly be taken with them when they are old enough to move out.

If you need help choosing your new bed frame or even a new bedroom suite, give www.mobilemattress.com.au a call. Their friendly and helpful staff can give you the advice that you need and answer all of your questions, so you can be sure that you get exactly what you want and need in a bed frame.

Mobile cranes have revolutionised the construction industry

August 20, 2015 by Reporter Leave a Comment

cranes and hire equipment

Ever thought of what was the world was like before we were able to lift construction equipment mechanically? Well, you’d probably have to go back a very long way to reach that point. For all we know, prehistoric peoples might well have invented some sort of leverage device to relieve their aching backs from the strain of lifting boulders and dinosaur carcasses.

We do know though, from excavations at ancient sites, that the ancient Greeks and Romans certainly had quite sophisticated crane-like tools, including winch and pulley systems, which were probably used to lift the heavy stone blocks necessary for building temples. Structures built by the Greeks, like the Parthenon in Athens, show what good uses they were put to.

The Romans who followed came up with their own variations, which allowed one person to lift up to 150kg. They also devised the treadwheel, a device whereby just two men could lift up to 6,000kg. This allowed them to build structures like the Colosseum in Rome and the mighty Septimius Severus Arch in Libya.

To understand the development of mobile cranes though, we have to look to the Industrial Revolution of the early to mid nineteenth century. This period of rapid technological development and expansion accelerated the steps towards the kind of machinery that we would recognize in the mobile crane hire industry today.

The demands of the Industrial Revolution

 

The Industrial Revolution began in the United Kingdom but quickly spread to the United States and Western Europe. It heralded the introduction of new manufacturing processes, including the move from hand production to machine generated products, and the advent of new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes.

These advances were aided by the increasing use of steam power, which drew on fuels such as coal. The first steam-operated cranes were developed by a German company in the 1830’s and started to be mass-produced in the 1840’s. They dramatically decreased the number of men needed to operate lifting machinery, and also increased the load such equipment could bear.

In 1838, the industrialist William Armstrong designed a hydraulic water powered crane for loading coal onto barges at the quayside in Newcastle, U.K. It was so successful that his company immediately received orders, for the same model, from the city of Edinburgh, Northern Railways and Liverpool docks. By the early 1860s, Armstrong was employing 4,000 workers and producing over 100 cranes per year. One of his products, commissioned by the Italian Navy in 1883, was still in use in Venice up until 1950s and is still in situ today, although it has fallen into a state of disrepair.

Mobile Cranes

A major problem with the nineteenth-century cranes, however, was that they were static, and so relatively inflexible. Eventually, manufacturers started to fix the structures onto flatcars (railway rolling stock consisting of a flat deck mounted on a pair of bogies), which gave some limited movement. But it would take the involvement of the internal combustion engine, in 1922, along with the invention of telescopic jibs, to really start revolutionizing things in the construction industry.

To cope with the increasing demands of post-war reconstruction and rebuilding work in the early-1950s, a group of men, namely crane expert R.H. Neal, hydraulics genius F.Taylor and designer Bob Lester, came together to create the first of the modern-style industrial cranes with fully telescopic booms, followed some years later with versions that also included a four-wheel drive capability. And so, the truly mobile crane was born. Over the years it has developed and evolved into many forms to meet the demands of modern construction, which requires equipment to be both robust and also as flexible as possible to complete the huge variety of jobs it is required to undertake.

Today, skylines dotted with the cranes, from Kuala Lumpur to Dubai, are a sign of that city’s popularity and prosperity. The workhorses of modern construction have become powerful symbols of success.

How Pooch mobile got a jump start

September 23, 2012 by Reporter Leave a Comment

In 1985 when I was 16 I started a dog clipping and grooming service operating from my parent’s back yard.

I grew up in a self-employed family who shared my love of animals, especially dogs. With their support and guidance and a lot of determination, I went into business by myself. I was lucky to be doing something I loved and earning money from it.

Mobile Hydrobath For dogs

pooch mobile aus Chris Walking AJ 2 - 2012

My business grew rapidly with demand from further afield, so when I was 21 I expanded the service to include mobile hydro bathing, travelling to customer’s homes to wash and pamper the family dog.

I launched the business as a single mobile hydrobath in 1991 and once people saw the benefits to their dogs, success was instant. I created and launched the Aussie Pooch Mobile Pty Ltd in 1992 and was the first person to franchise a mobile dog washing business in the world.

After success in Australia, I realised a global need for my business so after more research, I launched as ‘The Pooch Mobile’ overseas. There are currently Pooch Mobile franchises in the UK, Malaysia, New Zealand, New Caledonia and the USA, with a total of almost 200 operators worldwide.

Expanding into dog business

I am able to anticipate customer’s needs, which has helped me maintain success for 21 years, through recessions, ups and downs and other concerns that crop up in business.

Franchising with APM has a twofold Small business benefit. Franchisees are able to build a successful business while doing something they are passionate about and earn a great income. Franchising with Aussie Pooch sees you working for yourself but not by yourself.

I’ve expanded with demand. APM is actively involved in the community, has initiated fundraising ventures and developed our own line of dog care products and doggy treats.

This is essential to business considering the increasing number of people using at-home services, which is a trend that will continue. That means I will always be looking at keeping up with what my customer’s want. It also means I will need more franchisees to keep up with this demand.
