\u201cThe Susan G. Komen organization is near and dear to our hearts because, like Martin Engineering, it was started right here in Illinois and has since gone global,\u201d said Vibration Business Development Manager Susie Orlandi. \u201cThrough the efforts of employees, their families, and our dedicated customers, the company has raised tens of thousands of dollars over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martin Engineering staff from around the world have expanded the cause and participated in similar efforts. In the USA, together with its donations, the company hosts a team in the MORE THAN PINK Walk held in Peoria, Ill., to show support and raise individual contributions to this worthy cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Komen Foundation doesn\u2019t just fund research, it supports patients and families with a helpline, financial support, and assists patients in navigating their care journey,\u201d Orlandi elaborated. \u201cAlthough breast cancer predominantly affects women, men are also susceptible, so this effort raises awareness and encourages screening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since its founding in 1982, the Susan G. Komen foundation has raised over $3 billion in more than 60 countries. With a mission to support those with the fewest resources, it has helped reduce breast cancer-related deaths by an estimated 40%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The organization has played a vital role in nearly every major advancement to fight breast cancer, transforming how the world discusses and treats the disease and helping millions of breast cancer patients become survivors.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nAccording to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, about one in every eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, along with thousands of men. The organization has contributed to several breakthroughs, including the identification of genetic links, less-invasive surgical techniques, and advanced drug therapies, as well as advocating for more federal funding for additional research and early detection programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThrough our customers\u2019 generosity in placing orders, they contribute to the success of the campaign,\u201d Orlandi added. \u201cPrograms like this allow the pink color scheme on leading products like the Vibrotor to represent the cause year-round, raising awareness and encouraging discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Operators choose the Vibrotor CCR Railcar Vibrator with wedge bracket for its versatility and portability. During transport, the weight of the raw material can settle, causing compaction that prevents cargo from evacuating when the bottom gate is opened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The economical Vibrotor delivers effective high-frequency vibration that generates enough force to move the material. Its lightweight handle design allows a single worker to quickly and easily transfer it from one wedge bracket to another, enhancing efficiency and reducing demurrage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reliable and durable truck vibrators Cougar TDC Truck Vibrators and Cougar THD Hydraulic Vibrators replace OEM vibrators that tend to have a limited service life. The TDC and THD reduce manual labor and downtime while ensuring the safe evacuation of material from the bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They mitigate the common practice of raising the bed to \u201crock\u201d or \u201cjostle\u201d trucks, which can risk a tip over and significantly decrease the life of the fleet. Manually removing adhered material from a truck bed can be dangerous and time\/labor intensive. Faster unloading increases the number of trips by operators, improves efficiency and reduces the cost of operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAlthough we stand behind our products, this campaign is about standing behind a larger cause that has affected our employees and loved ones,\u201d concluded Martin Engineering Chairman Ed Peterson. \u201cWe\u2019re very family-oriented and care deeply about our community. It\u2019s humbling to see the compassion extend so widely by our customers helping us to Go Pink!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
