Does it really matter how much weight you are picking with your crane, so long as the safety systems are working and with knuckle pickers, they will stop when the crane becomes ‘overloaded’ anyway right? Well, usually they do, it’s built into the mechanics of the crane on HIAB, Palfinger, Fassi, etc, they all have a form of ‘overload’ protection built into them for your safety. In spite of how protected you feel you may be, independent testing has found out that many small picker units will exceed the stability of the truck before you reach maximum reach/capacity. Meaning simply that your operator really doesn’t get full use of the crane or capacity before it begins to tip over, and
Power Line Strikes ~ Is it possible to avoid on the job site?
As much as this seems fairly straight forward, it’s not always possible. On many lease, construction and commercial sites involving large equipment, many times we see the identifying line to show “danger, overhead power lines” marked well in advance (usually when equipment crosses underneath it’s at a minimum of 3m away), for clearance purposes. When I train with companies, I always ask, what is the travel height of the vehicle you are driving (doesn’t have to be the crane truck), and most drivers have no idea. Why not take the time to put it on the dash? Sadly, in this photo to the left, the operator did not survive, and yes I get that people say “He/She should have never
Picker Truck Operator Training
There comes a time when handing the keys of a $150,000 and up oilfield service truck has to send shivers down the spine of owner who had to hire based on availability. We don’t just ask you to bring a 4′ level to the training, what for? There is NO way you can level any picker truck unless the ground is flat. How many times I hear this makes it even more clear, there are those teaching this program who have no idea what they are doing. When you have one set of outriggers, how do you expect to have a level vehicle? it’s much like letting most of the air out of the driver side tires and expecting the
SigAlarm High Voltage Proximity Warning Systems
Since becoming a dealer for the SigAlarm product we have literally sent out 100’s of introduction letters and brochures and by and large, many companies are receptive to learning more about high voltage warning systems in Canada. It doesn’t matter whether you are in Fort McMurray, Fox Creek, Estevan or Williston, ND equipment and powerlines are a dangerous combination. We have the ability to get you within 3m of any overhead power line (we choose 3, for a specific reason), and we can also help your equipment stop at a pre-determined area as well. What industry is confused about is as “safety conscious”, there are mandates by many different industries on safety such as H2s,
Electricity Around Equipment
This video compilation from youtube clearly shows the power of electricity and the need to respect it from afar. Our Sigalarm High Voltage Proximity Warning System will not prevent most of what you see, but if you are operating equipment near power lines, we CAN prevent a strike/contact.
Hiab Crane Training – What Do You Get
How many times do you hear your operator come back to the shop and say that the crane didn’t work the way it was supposed to, or it doesn’t lift what the chart says it does? We hear this a lot and our answer is always the same, how much does the load weight to start with? The answer we often get is a non-confident answer. So, what do we do in a case like that? It’s easy, we put our scale on the crane, pick and weight the load and guess what, just about every operator we train has woefully under-estimated the load they were picking up, and in fact, in over 80% of our trainings, we place a
