Progressive Components announces the recent expansion of its RhinoFeet product line by introducing a new 5" tall version for larger tools and mold plates.
Initially released in 2020, Progressive’s RhinoFeet have been established as a simple, safe and efficient solution for elevating and storing heavy items within the shop. When used under molds, RhinoFeet eliminates the trip hazard of wood and skids strewn about the plant and improves 5S continuous improvement efforts.
RhinoFeet have been offered in 2", 3" and 4" heights and are now available in a 5" size to accommodate larger molds. Independently tested to hold 15,000 lbs each and designated a safety factor of three, a 60,000-lb mold can be elevated with four 5" RhinoFeet.
