Ok, so a milk spillage probably isn’t something we’d get upset about. But what if the liquid spilled was expensive, harmful, or even toxic – it could be a different story!
That’s why two brothers from Malvern in Worcestershire have designed and developed the Easy Fill safety spout, an innovative, cost effective spout for domestic, commercial and marine use that prevents spillages from 99% of all cans.
Fuel is increasingly expensive and extremely flammable, which means that spillages are costly, as well as dangerous. The spout’s creators, brothers Richard and Jim George, wanted to create a simple spout that could be attached to any 1 gallon can, and used to dispense petrol and diesel safely, and without spillages.
The spout is also great for pouring other types of liquid; screen wash, cleaning chemicals and even water.
They’ve designed the shape of the spout to ensure that liquid can be poured surge-free, and the simple screw attachment makes it easy to connect, as well as secure. The design also means that you can pour as much, or as little as you need – the spout automatically cuts off the flow when the desired level is reached.
The British tradition of innovative ideas, made famous by inventors like Trevor Baylis and James Dyson, is a real inspiration for the two brothers. Richard commented ‘It’s great to see British inventors challenging conventional design and creating products that are simple but effective. We want to continue this tradition’.
Not only are the designers of this invention British, but the production of the new product has been achieved entirely within the UK – from design to manufacture.
The Easy Fill safety spout costs £4.49. See it in action here.

In fact it won’t just be curtains that are raised at Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury’s new £28 million entertainment venue, due to open in Spring 2009. Trans Lyft Lifting Technology, the UK’s top performing provider of lifting solutions, has just been asked to design and build two lifts that will have the capacity to move sets, scenery and equipment weighing up to 12 tonnes!
For the designers of the multi-purpose development in Frankwell, it’s important that the cutting edge design on the outside and luxurious comfort inside should be matched by technologically advanced backstage facilities. The new lifts will allow automatic operation up to a height of three and a half metres. Their advanced design will also enable them to cope with the movement of delicate equipment and scenery on and offstage as the lifts’ positions can be controlled with accuracy to the nearest millimetre, minimising the risk of damage.
The team at Lifting Technology have used their sophisticated scissor lift system to successfully provide lifting solutions for clients and projects throughout the UK, and have recently supplied lifts for another important cultural building – Buxton’s historic opera house. For George Scholes, Managing Director, working on public developments like these is a rewarding experience. ‘It’s great to be able to use the expertise we’ve gained working on schemes in industry and commerce for such exciting arts and community projects’.
He added "The company’s enviable reputation has made it impossible for Willmott Dixon, the main contractor on the development, to deny Lifting Technology this new challenge'.

Thankfully, no one at Comet’s new distribution centre in Skelmersdale lifts such heavy appliances. Instead, Trans Lyft Lifting Technology, a company that specialises in lifting solutions for industry and commerce, designed and built 16 Translyft double decker scissor lifts to do the job for them. Each lift can hold over 6 cubic metres in volume, meaning that together, all 16 can lift the equivalent of 1024 microwaves, 256 washing machines, or 128 fridge freezers.
As Skelmersdale is one of Comet’s biggest and busiest distribution centres in the UK, loading and unloading goods as efficiently as possible is vital. Trans Lyft Lifting Technology worked in partnership with other contractors to provide scissor lift tables that can load and unload from double deck trailers in one rotation. Extra features such as bridging plates, and barriers fitted with sensors to keep the lift secure were also included. These small details ensure that docking is completed with maximum efficiency and safety.
For such a large and complex development, it was important that staff at Lifting Technology were involved from the outset. George Scholes, Managing Director commented ‘We get involved right from the planning stages of projects. We then talk to manufacturing and submit the designs we need and the lift tables are constructed specifically for the specified application’.
Lifting Technology’s expertise and experience in the design, installation and maintenance of quality lifting solutions has been recognised by Comet. The retail giant was so impressed with the finished lifts, that Trans Lyft Lifting Technology has now been asked to work on similar solutions at other sites.
Graeme Garside, Operations Manager at the Skelmersdale Comet Warehouse said, “ Partnering with Trans Lyft Lifting Technology helped improve operating efficiencies and meet all our safety requirments. Overall, they provided a first class design and installation service and continue to service and repair all our Loading Bay equipment. Their fast turnaround minimises downtime in our operation, particularly at peak times ’
