ProStack, a leading provider of bulk material handling solutions, has unveiled its new range of tracked conveyors designed specifically for small to medium-sized operations. These models will offer a shorter conveyor length than the existing ProStack range, delivering greater choice without compromising on performance, said ProStack in a statement. Headquartered in Londonderry, United Kingdom, ProStack is a brand of Terex Corporation, the global manufacturer of materials processing machinery.

These models are engineered for efficient stockpiling and are ideal for operations where space, mobility, or budget constraints are key considerations. "This new range allows us to fill a gap in our portfolio with conveyors that are better suited to smaller-scale operations," remarked Neil Robinson, the Business Line Director at ProStack. "They're compact, competitively priced, and tailored to meet the needs of a wider customer base," he stated. The new conveyors complement the broader ProStack lineup, which includes tracked feeders, bulk reception feeders, port hoppers, and telescopic conveyors.

Bully Scots cop subjected police officer ex to terrifying two-day ordeal after she dumped him
He also revealed his warped belief to her family during the two-day rampage 'SHOW HIM THE DOOR' Bully Scots cop subjected police officer ex to terrifying two-day ordeal after she dumped him Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BULLY cop is facing the sack for subjecting his police officer ex to a terrifying two-day ordeal when she dumped him. Constable Neil Robinson, 47, bombarded his former flame, a serving officer, with hundreds of messages and voicemails demanding to know where she was. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 He has been suspended since the allegations came to light in November 2023 Credit: Alamy Edinburgh Sheriff Court was shown ring door bell footage of Robinson driving around the city looking for the terrified cop while she hid from him. The disgraced PC has been suspended since the allegations came to light in November 2023 and has trousered over £75k while the case trundled through court. He was convicted under Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harm laws on Tuesday and only now will Police Scotland disciplinary procedures kick in - meaning he remains on the payroll. When new chief constable Jo Farrell took over last year, she agreed with her predecessor Iain Livingstone that the force was 'institutionally racist, sexist and discriminatory.' A source said: 'He's a bully and thinks because he's a man, he can do what he wants. 'Robinson should be nowhere near the public, and definitely nowhere near any females. "If Police Scotland is serious about rooting out misogyny and sexism in their ranks, he should be shown the door now." The court heard that Robinson and his victim had been together for a number of years but split a month before the offences were committed. On November 27 and 28, he began subjecting his ex to a torrent of phone messages and calls, described by court papers as 'menacing' in nature. He was found guilty of sending her numerous messages, repeated phonecalls and voicemails 'that were of a menacing nature' and threatening to attend at the address of a pal and share information about her sexuality without her consent. Cop SACKED for harvesting secret info about Nicola Bulley from police database The voicemails included him demanding 'tell me where you are' and 'I'm going to come and find you - I know where you are.' Evidence led at the trial revealed he was obsessed that she was having an affair with a woman even though there was no truth in that. He also revealed his warped belief to her family during the two-day rampage. The frightened woman eventually reported him to police and he was arrested. Robinson initially faced accusations he had threatened to kill himself and threatened to report her missing to police but he was found not guilty of those charges. He was sentenced to a 100-hour community payback order and banned from contacting his victim for two years. Chief Superintendent Helen Harrison, Head of the Police Scotland Professional Standards Department, said: 'Robinson's actions go against everything Police Scotland stands for. 'Our thoughts are with the victim in this case and I hope this conviction provides them with some measure of closure. 'We understand how difficult it can be to report these kinds of offences, particularly when the perpetrator is a police officer. 'We want the public to be reassured that all reports are thoroughly investigated, no matter when the offending took place or who is involved. 'The vast majority of officers and staff conduct themselves in line with our values of integrity, fairness, respect and a commitment to upholding human rights. 'All officers are bound by our Standards of Professional Behaviour, which apply on and off duty. 'Any instance where an officer fails to uphold our standards will be investigated and appropriate action taken. 'This matter will now be progressed in terms of the Police Service of Scotland (Conduct) Regulations 2014.' It's understood Robinson remains suspended.

"I love the sport of table tennis so I intend to stay involved and to continue working with BPTT when required and I will look at helping to develop established and new players individually." Robinson was training to work as an electrician in the Merchant Navy when he was a passenger in a car accident at the age of 18 that left him requiring a taking up table tennis during rehab he went on to become one of Britain's most successful Paralympians, winning seven medals across seven games.

"The circumstances surrounding Tokyo 2021 and then coaching Paul Karabardak, Tom Matthews and Megan Shackleton to their first Paralympic medals was really special to me. "I am extremely proud to have won seven Paralympic medals as an athlete but working closely with and helping athletes achieve their Paralympic dreams gives me a greater feeling of satisfaction."

Bid to make Oasis centre asset of community value
A campaign group which wants a leisure centre to become a community asset say current development plans will make it a "shadow of its former self". Swindon's Oasis Leisure Centre closed during the pandemic and is due to be redeveloped by leaseholders Seven Capital. The firm plans to build 700 homes on the site while also restoring its dome and pool, which are listed. The proposals also include knocking down a sports hall without replacement. Swindon Borough Council confirmed it is in the process of "determining" a nomination from campaign group Save Oasis Swindon for the leisure centre to become an asset of community value. "We're concerned that without a hall and surrounded by flats, it's going to be a shadow of its former self," said Neil Robinson, from the campaign group. He told the BBC the asset of community value application will "keep pressure on the council and Seven Capital to revisit these plans and include a hall in them". The campaign group previously put an asset of community value bid covering just the sports hall, but this was rejected. Speaking about that decision, the council's cabinet member for finance Kevin Small said the nomination "did not meet the required tests". The campaign group has now put in a fresh bid for the wider site and says it has included further evidence. More news stories for Wiltshire Listen to the latest news for Wiltshire Mr Robinson says he does not feel the current plans are enough for Swindon and its "iconic" leisure centre. "It should be restore the Oasis leisure centre in full first - and then build the houses," he said. "Not reduce it." The campaign group hopes people in Swindon would have a "little more control" over the centre's future if it did become an asset of community value, Mr Robinson said.
