Solutions to improve safety of heavy equipment operators
Advanced wireless diagnostic tools for large mining, construction, and earthmoving equipment are being used to enhance safety and operational efficiency.
Proximity detection systems and safety solutions provider Booyco Electronics has entered into a strategic partnership with safety equipment supplier SafeGauge to provide owners and operators of large mining, construction, forestry, agriculture and earthmoving equipment with access to technology that enables remote monitoring and testing of machinery.
This technology reduces the need for workers to be near equipment during hazardous live testing procedures, minimising the risk of injury, including serious fluid injection injuries or crushing and pinching.
The SafeGauge range of equipment includes specialised tools designed for different measurement needs. The pressure transducer series is used to measure pressures in hydraulic and pneumatic systems, while the dial indicator series is designed for measuring clearance, tolerance and wear on machine components. The tacho meter series measures fan speeds and other rotating components, the laser displacement series tracks wear on moving parts, and the push rod series is used to measure displacement between two fixed points.
Booyco Electronics area sales manager Louis Venter explains that all data collected by these tools can be processed through the Multitool Pro, which allows for real-time generation of reports and graphs, ensuring that potential problems with equipment can be identified and addressed faster, reducing unplanned downtime and preventing costly failures. This proactive maintenance approach helps to keep operations running smoothly and extend the life of key machinery components, minimising the need for expensive replacements.
