Now is the season to fix broken shipping gear

Now is the season to fix what's broken or overused!

ANCHORAGE, AK (January 15, 2010)--Winter is the time to prepare for the shipping rush coming next spring and summer. Construction and re-stocking for the next year as well as bypass mail will increase in what we here in Alaska call the “Denali Affect.”

The Denali Affect  (named after 20,320 ft. Mt. McKinley) is a peak in air freight shipping and passenger travel here in Alaska that shows signs of increasing in the early shoulder season (late April) and peaks into Aug. then declines into flat traffic after mid October.

“During the winter time lull—we are can fix your nets or pallets or those broken down igloos that you have behind the hangar,” said Ian Wilson, marketing manager for Tednologies, Inc. a sister company to Harman’s Repair Station.

So now is the time to think about getting your pallets, vertical nets and horizontal nets repaired or replaced. Harman’s Repair is just the place to do just that.

Don Harman has worked hard to create a warehouse of parts and supplies as well as sewing equipment, cookie pallet and igloo repair equipment located right in the heart of Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.

“We are an FAA Certified Part 145 repair station that can fix or repair your nets, igloos or shipping containers right here in Anchorage,” said Don Harman, president of Harman’s Repair Station.

Harman opened his business four years ago after 20-years of experience working in the commercial aviation business in Alaska and today offers expert repair to your shipping implements.

Another advantage using this company is their ability to use stronger and more fire retardant materials.

“We are now making cargo nets that are stronger and fire resistant to replace the original equipment, “Wilson said. “The nets can act as both a safety barrier for shifting loads and may act as a fire barrier during shipping. This is yet another safeguard to flight crews during shipping.”

Harman’s Repair Station is located at 3511 Postmark Dr. across from the FedEx Facility and behind the DHL sorting facility.
