The ?g-drum? is a reusable, collapsible 55 US gallon drum with a ?bag-in-a-box? design that uses a product-speci c  exible internal liner bag made from 3-ply Food & Pharmaceutical grade polyethelyn (PE)  lm to store not only liquid cargoes but also for dry  owable or high viscosity products. The patented g-drums deliver savings in overall operational costs compared to traditional steel drums as g-drum eliminates the need for pre-conditioning and post- cleaning disposal, and reduces responsible care premiums. www.gac.com/solutions/packaging Hostar Trailer Sustains Small Community The economy of Yakutat, AK is rooted in commercial  shing and  sh processing. HOSTAR?s HST5500YS, 30-ton hydraulic yard trailer provides safe and ef cient means of launching and retrieving boats on Yakutat Harbor?s steel ramp. Capable of handling large commercial vessels, the trailer?s hydraulically operated walking beam suspension allows operators to raise the frame and lower it to the ground, each side independently. Hydraulic arms stabilize the boats during launching or retrieval. Hostar Marine hydraulic trailers solve the problems of limited storage space, high transportation and handling costs, unwieldy cradles and time-consuming loading and launching procedures. www.hostarmarine.com PRODUCTSwww.marinelink.com MN 41MN Jan2013 Layout 32-42.indd 41MN Jan2013 Layout 32-42.indd 411/2/2013 2:33:34 PM1/2/2013 2:33:34 PM
