TIME TO FOCUS ON NIGERIA’S MUSIC INDUSTRY’S GREATEST PIRATES

I think it’s really ironic that when we talk about piracy in Nigeria, we always talk about the dealers in markets like Alaba and other places. To almost everyone in the Nigerian music industry, entertainment writers and even the government, music piracy seems to start and end with local vendors in retail markets replicating people’s songs without paying royalties to musicians. Nothing can be further from the truth!

As an avid industry supporter and stakeholder who has invested millions in the careers of many artists over the past 2 years, I am of the opinion that we have all allowed ourselves to feed the red herring and misdirection of piracy that is likely they are born of ignorance, fear or simple deception of our leaders in this fight.

As we can all attest, radio stations are a very important part of our musical and entertainment life in Nigeria. With over 300 radio stations blasting music 24 hours a day, I remain perplexed that we care about Alaba royalties when the real money should be sought from radio and TV stations. After all, the law is very clear that royalties MUST be paid to different copyright owners every time music is played on the air.

Radio stations, by definition, are large consumers of musical works. The programming of most radio stations is more than 90% music. The main thing they are selling to the public is music. Listeners tune in to stations like Rhythm FM Wazobia, Classic FM, Eko FM, Inspiration FM, etc. Mainly to listen to music. Companies and advertising companies also advertise on radio stations because they are reaching their target market with music. Radio stations will die overnight without music for their listeners. For us to understand the critical component of music for radio stations, try to imagine a Rhythm FM, Classic FM, Raypower or Wazobia FM without playing music for just one month. I guarantee you EVERYONE will be out of business long before then. However, what efforts are these stations making to pay the correct royalties to those who use their talents and resources to create this music?

Now, the irony of it all is that while these radio stations budget billions of naira each year for salaries, fuel, transportation, repairs, equipment, etc., they barely mention paying royalties to local artists in their budget allocations. If they did, the artists don’t know or haven’t felt it. I think the time is right for us to publicly challenge these radio stations on how much they spend as operating expenses each year and what percentage of that goes to pay for the larger raw material (i.e. music) that they have been using to prepare their programming.

For those who still need context to understand how big this overlooked elephant is, I’ll give you the example of a CAR DEALERSHIP. The main thing the car dealer sells is cars. Now, imagine a car dealer preparing a budget for the year with no budget for car purchases! Or imagine a fashion designer store that prepares a budget for the year without providing any budget for purchasing clothing fabrics. Or better yet, imagine a newspaper company planning a budget without anticipating the purchase of newsprint. Yet that is what happens in the boardrooms of most Nigerian radio stations. They just take music for granted simply because most of our artists are ignorant and desperate for their music to be played.

So royalty payments for music played on radio stations remained a huge elephant in the radio room that we’ve ignored for years in this country and I think it’s about time someone started addressing this gigantic elephant if Will we ever have fairness? and justice in this country.

While Alaba’s fight against pirates is certainly a good one, I think that in 2011 a more rewarding war against piracy should be declared against music-based radio stations and TV shows. This fight is a much better fight for artists and management companies because the chances of winning and getting paid are much higher than fighting ghosts and vicious faceless alaba pirates that no one seems to identify. Radio stations, on the other hand, have names and have identifiable owners. Radio stations are regulated by the government, which can force them to do the right thing. Radio stations are physical entities that can be singled out and boycotted. So why do we leave the elephant unfed in the radio rooms while chasing ghosts in Alaba? I believe that the resources of the government, artists, lawyers and collection societies should be focused on radio stations, music and television programs in 2011. We have a better chance of winning that fight!

Therefore, I suggest that instead of COSON boss Tony Okoroji and MCSN’s Mr. Mayo Ayilaran tearing each other apart over the issue of who should collect royalties, they should come together to make sure our radio stations feed the big elephant in radio rooms. across the country. I also suggest that if the new NIGERIA COPYRIGHT COMMISSION wants to write its name in history, it should ‘enter’ radio rooms across the country with appropriate regulations and demand that the royalty elephant be fed to Nigerian artists…

Of course, I understand that many of the big names in the music industry are too afraid to confront radio stations and demand justice due to their reasonable fear that their artists may be blacklisted by these radio stations. , but I think this fight can be depersonalized if the ENTIRE industry joins the fight in a concerted effort using every legal means at our disposal, including the machinery of the state, lawsuits, boycotts, sit-ins, and picketing of whatever station is refuse to do the right thing…

There are many types of internet dating websites but the most popular ones are adult dating sites where there are no restrictions on nudity, sexuality or fantasies. While these dating sites are liberating for open-minded people, the question remains whether they offer a serious way to find love and romance.

One of the big problems with a regular dating website like match.com or eharmony.com is the fact that they censor nudity and overt sexual expression by their members. In the case of eharmony.com, the focus is on personality compatibilities. While personality and characters are important aspects of a successful relationship, what is even more important is sexual attraction and sexual compatibility.

As a relationship expert, I have worked with many of my clients whose relationships have failed because their sex life has declined over time. How many times have you heard people say that the best way to end your sex life is to get married? Sex or the lack of it is one of the main causes of broken relationships, cheating or extramarital affairs.

Sexual compatibility is determined by many different factors. First impressions matter a lot, but the foundation of sexual attraction goes far beyond that first face-to-face encounter. While you may be attracted to someone because you think they are beautiful, the attraction is likely to fade over time unless there is sexual compatibility. Sexual compatibility is determined by the sexual fantasies shared by two people, as well as hobbies, personality, or interests.

So if sexual compatibility is so important, why don’t dating websites give it more importance when looking for potential partners? The reason can be as simple as online censorship, where anything that contains nudity is quickly categorized into the adult or x-rated category. Fortunately, an increasing number of dating websites are focusing more on issues of sexuality and sensuality. These dating sites offer the best of both worlds, allowing their members to explore physical attraction, personality compatibilities while exploring fantasies, fetishes, and sexual commonalities.

Intellectual property, including patents, copyrights, trademarks, design rights, and registered designs. Some intellectual property rights (such as patents, trademarks, and registered designs) require a formal registration process by the owner with the Intellectual Property Office, in order to grant protection and monopoly rights to the owner. Others, such as copyright and design rights, arise automatically at the time of creation, but do not protect against independent creation by a third party, only against copying.

Of course, IP rights only protect the expression of ideas, not the ideas themselves, as a first step it is important that adequate confidentiality provisions are put in place to ensure that discussions during the different parties are protected from the start. and undisclosed.

IP rights differ in terms of duration and procedures, but the effect is to ensure that the owner has the exclusive right to use and decide how those rights are used and exploited, and to prevent any other party from using the same rights.

Patents protect an invention that is new, novel and has an industrial application. This, in turn, allows the patent holder to use the invention to streamline their business processes, gain a competitive advantage, or increase their revenue, by licensing or selling the patent to a third party.

Copyright protects original literary works (eg, instruction manuals, computer programs), dramatic, musical, or artistic works (eg, logos, maps, technical drawings, diagrams, photographs, works of architecture). The copyright owner is the first author of the copyrighted work. So if you hire consultants or subcontractors to write a report or conduct a survey or produce your website or piece of software, that party owns the copyright, even if they paid for it. However, copyright does not protect ideas.

The brand is a sign that can distinguish the goods or services of one trader from those of another. A sign includes words, logos, images, or a combination of these. A sign to be registered must be distinctive, not misleading and not identical or similar to any previous mark for the same or similar products or services. Remember that the simple registration of your company in the Mercantile Registry does not guarantee the protection of your brand. Also, if you have a website, you can consider registering the trademark as a domain name and vice versa.

A Registered Design is a monopoly right over the appearance of all or part of a product, resulting from the characteristics of lines, contours, colors, shape, texture, product materials or its ornamentation. The design must be new and have an individual character.

On the other hand, design law applies to original, uncommon designs of shape or configuration of products. There is no need for registration and it avoids the copyright of third parties, without the permission of the owner.

A company must always be aware of when and how intellectual property is created, in order to take all necessary measures for its protection and exploitation. This means that employment contracts must have adequate provisions, dealing with the creation of intellectual property, and commissioned works must be protected by appropriate contracts, which grant the intellectual property to the company commissioning the work.

But once a company has identified its intellectual property, what does it do next?

1. A company must manage its intellectual property portfolio

• Intellectual property is, as we have seen, made up of various rights and can be expensive to maintain and protect. In an economic downturn, it is crucial to review the strategy behind an IP portfolio to maximize its value and save costs.

• A business should review and decide whether it is necessary to maintain all patent, trademark, domain name and design registrations, and consider abandoning any registrations that are secondary to business needs or not necessary. be. profitable to maintain.

• Even though some IP assets may not have direct value to the business, they can still be licensed or assigned to third parties, for a hefty fee.

2. Capture and maximize value

• A company’s knowledge, ideas and confidential information are valuable assets, often created at significant cost to the company. Instituting and enforcing effective policies for the capture and retention of innovative ideas, trade secrets, and inventions can often lead to increased business value and direct business benefits, which are particularly important in a more financially challenging environment.

• It is also possible to file patent applications, which adds additional tangible value.

• It is also important to maintain a framework of policies and contracts to protect against the misuse of intellectual property rights by staff members, particularly departing employees, who may have access to software code, lists of customers or research and development material.

3. Monitor violations and enforce your rights

• Intellectual property infringement or other unauthorized use can severely impact its business value. It is important to review existing systems for monitoring infringements (eg trademark watchdog services) and review the strategy for taking action against infringers.

• Taking proactive steps to enforce your intellectual property rights may also create an opportunity to recover lost license revenue through liquidated damages or settlements. Conversely, failure to act to prevent and address intellectual property infringement may result in loss of license rights and royalties.

• Similarly, being aware of your competitors’ intellectual property assets and implementing authorization policies for new products or services helps avoid unwanted and costly infringement lawsuits.

The Action Group on Free Civic Space represents a loose network of organisations, student unions, social movements and active citizens in Nigeria, working on different issues but committed

to ensure that government regulation in the name of national security does not reduce civic space in Nigeria.

In a press release issued and jointly signed by:

Emmanuel Acha: Youth Forum for Social Change

FyneFace Dumnamene Fyneface: Youth and Environment Advocacy Center

Obioma Agoziem: Center for Corrections and Human Development

Victoria Ibezim Ohaeri: SPACES FOR CHANGE

Okechukwu Nwanguma: Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Center, stated that national and international law prohibits governments and law enforcement agents from using COVID-19 as an excuse to abrogate the right to life.

The Action Group on Free Civic Space is deeply concerned about the growing records of human rights abuses of citizens by law enforcement officers responsible for ensuring compliance with shelter-in-place and stay-at-home directives. by COVID-19 in various states of Nigeria.

Corroborated media reports are filled with stories of shootings, police/military brutality, destruction of cooked food and other necessary items, physical assaults, etc.

With the way the COVID-19 pandemic is ravaging the world, we recognize that these are not normal times.

We particularly commend the efforts of the Nigerian government and relevant stakeholders who have doubled down to contain the further spread of the pandemic. While we recognize the need to adopt strict measures when necessary, we must, however, caution that the COVID-19 containment measures implemented throughout

The states emphasize respect for the rights to life and human dignity guaranteed by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Just yesterday, trigger-happy soldiers allegedly shot and killed one Joseph Pessu in an unfortunate

show of force to maintain COVID-19 lockdown in Delta State. A week ago, Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State ordered security officers to shoot on sight anyone trying to escape the quarantine and

isolation centers in the state. Similarly, in Rivers State, hasty lockdown directives, such as the unmitigated closure of markets and businesses to support the well-being of citizens, have precipitated inevitable

Situations that have seen the state task force in an attempt to enforce closure directives mistreat some residents trapped outside their homes trying to get food and supplies to survive. In other places such as Lagos and Abuja, eyewitness reports and video evidence have continued to emerge, showing that security

forces that brazenly use whips and guns to enforce discipline and compliance with lockdown directives. In light of the above worrying developments, it has become imperative to remind Nigerians

government that emergency situations and associated containment measures should be aligned with the country’s national, regional and international human rights obligations.

Sections 33 and 34 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended, guarantee life

and human dignity, for all citizens. The sanctity and inviolability of the rights to life and human dignity are further protected by article 4 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights. Also, article

4(2) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) also reiterates that certain rights

such as the right to life, not to suffer cruel and inhuman treatment and punishment are non-derogable and cannot be suspended even in a state of emergency. As these provisions make clear, national standards and

International law prohibits governments and law enforcement officials from using COVID-19 as an excuse to abrogate the right to life.

Furthermore, we dare to say that low-income Nigerians have been most affected by the lockdown measures.

Millions of citizens living in informal communities, also called slums, have little or no access to proper sanitation, clean water, quality health care, electricity, food, housing, etc. Only citizens with a roof over their heads can comply with the government’s stay-at-home directive. Closed businesses not only mean lost revenue for companies, but also weaken the survival capacity of the self-employed and the poor.

ACTION GROUP ON FREE CIVIC SPACE

Most of the people working in the informal sector, depending on their daily income for their livelihood. Without daily income, they cannot provide themselves with the necessary food to maintain the confinement.

Consequently, the government must shoulder its responsibility to provide adequate relief packages for these households in need. The intervention plans and economic stimulus packages announced by both the

The federal and state governments must be backed by effective distribution machinery to ensure relief items reach those in critical need of food and medical supplies, especially in urban slums and rural areas.

The highly publicized billions received as donations from philanthropists and corporate entities supporting the fight against coronavirus should also be used to help those in need. To fill reported gaps in distribution, we recommend that the federal government urgently establish an inclusive body of aid administrators in all 36 states and the FCT. The relay managers

they should be duly selected from trade unions, civil society organizations, the private sector, community organizations, pro-popular associations and relevant government agencies. This democratic body

managers will not only develop a clear strategy for the distribution of stimulus packages to all Nigerians, but

also inform citizens daily spending accounts of how funds and relief items were distributed in a fair, equitable, timely and transparent manner. The Action Group on Free Civic Space makes the following demands on the Nigerian government to:

– Officially cancel the order to shoot on sight by Governor Umanyi of Ebonyi State and order the Inspector General of Police and his men to rescind the order.

– Adopt humane, responsive and legally binding measures to enforce public safety orders and correct members of the public who defy closure directives. – Investigate the murder of Mr. Pessu in Delta State and bring all other law enforcement officers who made mistakes to justice.

– Sensitize law enforcement officials to rights-respecting methods of carrying out their duties, including the establishment of

establish complaints offices and hotlines for the public to report incidents of abuse.

– Finally, we implore Nigerians to stay strong in these difficult times and abide by all public health directives and guidelines intended for the public health and general welfare of Nigerians.

The Northern Cyprus government has recently expanded its efforts to make it easier for foreign nationals to purchase property in Northern Cyprus. Because North Cyprus has a Turkish government system, buying property in this region has involved many strict regulations and government red tape that can take many months and even years to purchase a property. With this effort, the Northern Cyprus government will lay the foundation for a seamless property purchase anywhere in Cyprus.

When searching for properties for sale in Cyprus, it is important to obtain a real estate agent who is very familiar with the region you are considering. If you are considering property sales in Northern Cyprus, you will want to hire a real estate agent whose specialty is acquiring and negotiating the sale of properties in that region.

In Cyprus, estate agents take on many of the roles that are taken on by lawyers, brokers, and others in other countries. The real estate agent will provide legal advice, work with the government on taxes and liens, and work with the bank on your home loan. In addition, the real estate agent also works with you to ensure that you receive a green card prior to purchasing your home. Therefore, it is important that you find an agent that you think will be the best fit for your needs. One way to do this is to talk to expats who have bought houses in Cyprus and ask for references.

Although the price of properties for sale in Cyprus did not increase as rapidly as property markets in other countries before the economic downturn, prices are also not falling as drastically as in other countries. It is important to note that when buying a home in Cyprus there are many taxes and levies included in your home purchase that you may not be aware of. It is very important that you work closely with your real estate agent and determine exactly how much your home will total after taxes and other fees are included. Also included are some ongoing charges that will need to be included in your annual budget.

Most houses in Cyprus are several years old and you will want to make sure you check the structural soundness of your house before you buy if you want to extend it. Another important factor to consider when looking for properties for sale in Cyprus is that there are many windows in the house that allow the sea breeze to flow through the house, as well as terraces that allow you to enjoy the sea views and landscapes that surround. your.

The following tips will help you determine which lifetime career interests you most when thinking about the healthcare industry versus the automotive industry.

As a health care provider, you are providing your services for the welfare of society and people. The health field has many opportunities, from working in hospitals and clinical facilities to home care. There are often competitive benefits and salary packages for healthcare professionals. These benefits often make the healthcare industry an ideal choice. The automotive industry also has a range of opportunities.

Helping Society: A health professional has the opportunity to provide care to a large number of people. Lending this helping hand to society is not only rewarding but also satisfying. The automotive field, on the other hand, is about making a better product and selling it at a high price. Most of the time, the bottom line tends to be more important than customer satisfaction. Also, working to develop new designs and keep up with the latest technology can create a stressful work environment.

Training programs: Considering the various levels of health care positions, you can choose a program that specializes in the area that interests you most. Once you complete a training program and have your diploma or certificate in hand, you are ready to begin your career. In the automotive industry, training often takes place within the industry.

There are few opportunities for the high school graduate.

Choosing a career for life based on the above features and benefits can help you make an informed decision. When comparing medical care vs. automotive industries, the healthcare field is sure to be a more rewarding and attainable option.

Russian companies and Cyprus

On September 18, 2014 at the Hilton Hotel in Nicosia, the Cyprus-Russia Business Association, Withers LLP and Chryssafinis & Polyviou LLC organized a conference entitled “The Future of Cyprus for Russian Businesses”. To quote an excerpt from the recent conference:

The regulations of the foreign companies controlled by Russia (CFC) and the relocation strategy that are affecting the Cypriot structures. The implications of these rules will become more apparent in the long run as in the present more Russian companies are still using cyprus as your base of operations.

I think that statement hits the nail on the head firmly, ‘at the PRESENT, most Russian companies STILL use Cyprus as their base’. It makes no mention of the situation after the CFC rules are implemented. I think this year we have already seen some Russian companies dissolved in Cyprus, however there still seems to be a “let’s wait and see what happens”. attitude that prevails here in Cyprus, and this can only increase the detrimental impact of the CFC legislation.

Unfortunately for Cyprus, the rest of Europe is not prepared to sit back and wait, not only offering advice on how to mitigate the effects of Russia’s CFC rules, but also actively promoting them in an attempt to attract business outside of Cyprus. CFC can be seen as a challenge for Cyprus and a great opportunity for those countries that have always envied the strength of Russian and Cypriot cooperation. Opportunities don’t really come to those who wait, they are seized by those who dare to attack, and we are already under attack!

The point is that CFC will have a big impact if it is left as a weapon in the hands of our competitors, who already present themselves as the saviors of Russian businessmen, and show that Cyprus does not seem to have any adequate solution to relocation. ! The only written advice I have seen so far in Cyprus is that a private listing on the ‘Emerging Companies Market’ would be an easy route to alleviate potential problems for Russian residents and protect businesses here in Cyprus. However, the ECM is generally viewed as a “unregulated market“as it is not subject to the obligations imposed on markets regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySec).

This may or may not be the reason why the UK HMRC Say this about the Cyprus ECM: ‘The Cyprus Stock Exchange has opened a new market called the Emerging Companies Market. This market will be a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) and securities admitted to trading on this market will not meet HMRC’s definition of ‘listed’.

I would assume that if Mr. Putin seeks to collect more taxes, then he will follow the British and refuse to accept an ECM listing for meeting the requirements.

Regardless of what the media and other governments say, the banking world outside of Cyprus is not in the healthy position that the rest of Europe would have us believe. Cyprus is at the forefront of correcting past banking mistakes and should combine this strength with some practical steps to assure the business world that measures are already in place to maintain the security and tax efficiency that Cyprus has always provided in the past.

There is a fully compliant way of dealing with CFC legislation that has been tried across Europe and is now available in Cyprus. Private placement life insurance has certain advantages over a trust, but can be used to add substance to an existing trust if needed.

Some of the more astute corporate service providers here in Cyprus are now taking active steps to at least let their clients know that they have a fully compliant solution available to them in Cyprus and that they are ready to take action as soon as it is needed. This not only strengthens your relationships with existing clients, but also acts as a strong proposition to attract new business to Cyprus.

The CFC legislation is a threat to Cyprus and now is the time to take action. Please, let us not sit back and let the rest of Europe ‘support’ our business here in the same way that they did our banking sector!

Parenting is an experience that turns adult children, called parents, into adults. As soon as a child is added to the life of a couple, everything changes. Suddenly, the baby becomes the center of their lives. Everything revolves around the needs of the baby. The early formative years, from birth to age five, lay the foundation for a child’s entire life. Mistakes made in parenting during this time can sometimes be irreversible.

One of the fundamental principles of parenting is appreciating a baby’s needs. If the needs are misunderstood, the parents’ responses will lead to a damaged bond between the baby and the mother. One of the baby’s first needs is to eat, sleep, be clean and have a sense of security. Once these needs are met, the baby is a happy baby. The first three needs are physical, but the need to feel safe is where there is a difference of opinion among the experts. In cultures where babies are free to sleep with their parents and where the mother is available to cling to at any time of the day, the baby feels secure. In cultures where babies are forced to sleep in separate rooms and most of their lives are spent in nurseries, there is a change in the baby’s perception of safe relationships.

Spending time in day care centers has the advantage of bonding with different people besides the mother, which can be seen as the beginning of the individual’s independence. But the frequent change of caregivers gives mixed messages to the subconscious. The more changes in the number of caregivers imply less contact, the more the nervous system feels unstimulated. At the end of the day, baby’s safety needs are paramount after the feeding and cleaning has been done. Touch plays an important role in providing the baby with a sense of security. The more tender touch is available, the more secure the baby will feel. Sensory satisfaction is what makes a child grow up to be a stable individual.

When a baby does not get sensory satisfaction, he begins to develop various problems, one of which is hyperactivity. In my own observations, a child who has had the kind of contact available to a child raised full-time by a mother in India or Nigeria is likely to be more emotionally stable. In this case, the behavior can be easily controlled because the nervous system has absorbed the feeling of safety into the subconscious. Hyperactivity happens because the nervous system has not reached its level of satisfaction. Children in India weigh less than a baby born in Western Europe. However, they develop motor skills such as crawling, walking and talking earlier than children in Western countries. My conclusion is that the feeling of safety from the mother’s touch is the key to this difference. In India, in families where the baby is touched – experienced all day by family members, even though the mother is working – motor skills are learned earlier.

As the baby grows to understand language, the next step is to teach him ways of life. A normal baby who feels well loved will be well behaved and will not show any behavior problems. Any reprimand from parents, from a well-attached child, is taken seriously and obeyed. The more the child feels loved, the less chance there is for misbehavior. Love is the best basis for discipline.

When a child is going to be scolded, it should be done immediately after an event and not ten minutes later. A child has a short memory span. So the correction has to be immediate. In this way the child can learn to associate the event with the consequences. It is important to let a child know what the expected behavior should be rather than giving in to undesirable behavior.

No spanking or hitting is needed to correct a child. They are counterproductive. If you want a behavior stopped, inform the child of its consequences. For example, if you don’t want a young child to come near a lit candle, you should hold the child’s hand and bring it a safe distance from the flame so that the child can feel the heat. Once a child knows that fire can burn, he will not go near the flame. Such experiences demand hard work and vigilance on the part of parents. But it’s worth it if you want a healthy, well-adjusted happy adult like a child.

Experience teaches a child. Words don’t mean much until they are associated with experience. For a child to learn, each mistake and its consequences must be explained in simple language without going into too much detail. And everything has to be based on truth. If a child observes that parents are not honest in any area of ​​life, no matter what you tell him about the truth, he will learn not to be honest.

Sometimes the ground is not even; the transported materials can have irregular shapes or be very large, which makes it difficult to transport them manually. The solution to all these problems are flatbed trucks. They are hand trucks made of flat sheet metal, with wheels at the base and a handle at the back so that someone can stand on the back and push it. So what are the benefits of flatbed trucks?

Benefits

Most high-quality flatbed trucks are made from a one-piece steel frame, making them strong and reliable for hauling any type of load, no matter how heavy. Some trucks have rubber on top of the flat blade which is helpful in keeping items in place during movement. Most of them have wheels that can easily turn so that it is easy for operators to turn the truck around corners.

A braking system similar to those used on airport carts makes it very easy to operate a flatbed truck with high safety. It also has numerous wheel and caster options for quirky purposes. Anti-static wheels and air-filled wheels can be installed on others to provide safety in places with static electricity and uneven surfaces, respectively. Flatbed trucks can be finished and built so that they can serve various uses and purposes. Metal, steel and wooden sides can be added to make it suitable for the transport of fragile goods, while cradles or cages can be included to facilitate the transport of drums or bottle barrels.

Flatbed Truck Uses

Flatbed trucks are used in schools, hospitals, libraries, and offices. In schools, teachers use them to transport audiovisual objects from one place to another, while nurses use them to transport food and medicine to patients in their rooms. Librarians use them to make shelving books less cluttered, while employees attached to the mail room use them to make distribution of correspondence quick and easy. Also, caterers and restaurants use them to transport products from one place to another.

In retail stores, multi-tier rack trucks are used by employees to transport merchandise from the warehouse directly to the sales floor. They are also used to unload goods from cargo trucks in the warehouse or stores. In addition to stores, they are also found in gardens, department stores, and factories. Plants can be easily moved to prevent damage; heavy factory equipment is transported much faster and with less effort; while fragile electronics, such as washing machines, televisions and kitchen appliances, can be moved through large stores and dragged to the customer’s vehicle without any problem. Make sure you buy high quality flatbed trucks to serve you for a long time.
