Safety code for construction

Many organizations, notably Hydro Québec and the CNESST require that construction equipment must be equipped with a range limiting device that blocks the system to avoid contact with electrical wires and any environmental obstacles. You thus have to conform to the « Safety code for construction ».  

  

 

  

Did you know?

The electrical current of high voltage wires can easily be in contact with objects and people that are not located at a secure distance! 

 

Distance to respect:

When jobs are carried out near power lines, all people, parts, equipment or machinery parts must be :

  • More than 3m of the electrical lines that are less than 125 kV;
  • More than 5m of the electrical line that are 125 to 250 kV:
  • More than 8m of the electrical line that are 250 to 550 kV;
  • More than 12m of the electrical line that are more than 550 kV.

What is a range limiting device?

The range limiting device is a safety device and assistance for equipment operators. It is a monitoring device which supplies the operator precise indication on the positioning of the machine in respect to environmental obstacles which will protect the operator. It therefore limits the risk of the machine to come into contact with environmental obstacles (Electrical wires, walls, ceilings, etc.).

Because simplicity + reliability = Security 

In order to comply with the law, does not mean it needs to be a complicated task. The MEGA range limiting device is simple and easy to program. The Alltech Group recommends the 600 series for all excavation jobs.

The range limiting device MEGA 6000 is designed to program a height limit and a rotation limit (left, right). It is also possible to program multiple limits (optional) and to indicate the depth of the bucket (optional). The range limiting device series model 6000 was conceived for a use on many types of machines. It can be installed on all makes and models of equipment.

 

It adapts too many types of installations;

  • Excavator
  • Mini-excavator
  • Backhoe
  • Wheeled excavator
  • Excavator double –boom

 

The range limiting device is an indispensable tool for your security while operating an excavator below electrical wires.

 

Yes, it’s the law, but above all it is for your security!

Grease recommendations

Grease is the key element to your lubrication system. The choice of grease type is particularly important for the proper function of the system and will have direct impact on its efficiency.

 

 

Recommended greases

After having analyzed the operating functions of all automatic greasing systems, here are the recommended types of grease that you can use in your Allfett progressive lubrication systems:

  • Oil base: viscosity at 40°C between 100 and 220 cSt approximately.
  • Thickener : lithium or sulfonate calcium type.
  • Additives : extreme pressure
  • Grade NLGI: 1 and 2 (For the cold regions, change the EP-1 in October up till April and put EP-2 from April to October.)

 

Elements that are not desirable

  • A high oil base that will slow down the mobility.
  • Certain thickeners such as baryum, argiles, etc.
  • Solid additives is not guaranteed when at their fineness (less than 3 microns) such as graphite, moly 5% and +, copper, etc.

 

ATTENTION! Mixing different types of grease may damage your system.

 

That’s why for all other non-listed greases, please confirm with your ALLFETT distributor if it is acceptable or not at the risk of a void warranty if you use non-accepted grease.

 

 

Purging of your system

It is also recommend to bleed the system before adding new grease or during seasonal changes. The Alltech Group offers a grease change procedure to prevent damage to your systems.

 

Precautions to take before changing grease

When it is absolutely necessary to change the type of grease, a certain amount of precautionary elements need to be taken:

  • Check that the assemblies used permit the escape of any excess grease, if not insure to purge the biggest quantity possible out of the system.
  • Verify that the equipment is in good shape, there is no incompatible accessories (ex. O rings), the sets are correct and there is no damages that can contribute to a new lubricant.
  • Attention of the bearings filling conditions: if they are foreseen to function with a limited quantity of grease, abnormal overheating could result from an abundance of new grease.

 

Purging procedures

  • Eliminate the biggest quantity possible of the old grease before introducing the new grease to the pump.
  • While the feeding lines are unplugged pump slowly the new grease until the old grease is completely evacuated. Consistency changes and/or the color of the grease evacuated, if it does exist, could indicate the renewal.
  • Repeat the procedures for each distribution valve and feeding lines which can be attached. Each distribution valve is equipped with a grease nipple to facilitate the task.
  • Increase manually the quantity of grease introducing to different greasing points during both of the following lubrication operation. The extra grease flow helps to evacuate the rest of the old grease and improve grease especially if softening caused by mixture.
  • After a week of functioning, proceed with a visual inspection in order to insure that there is no harmful chemical reaction to the lubrication system.
  • Take into consideration all unusual changes relating to the lubrication system. (Potential changes in the energy consumption, the lubrication frequency, vibrations, overheating, etc.).

 

Laserline - Snow removal assistance

The industrial and commercial snow removal is a market increasingly specialized, where companies seek to stand out by finding performance tools for their equipment. 

 

 

The safer way to plow!

The driver of the vehicle has only to follow the laser spot projected on the road.

 

The GL3000PMC Guidance Laser uses an “ultra-bright” green laser to establish wing plow trailing edge location before you get there. It is electronically designed for cold weather operation.

 

This laser is coupled to a special heat source for the exit window to reduce or eliminate ice build-up on the front of the laser output lens. The GL3000PMC also has a unique pneumatic snow removal system incorporated with the laser housing that automatically fires a blast of air at the front of the laser lens every 5 seconds. This removes snow build-up from the laser output lens.

 

 

ADVANTAGES

 

Cuts damage caused by plow strikes by 80 to 100%.

Less strain on the driver.

Reduces equipment down time.

It’s much safer.

Improve your DOT rating (Service evaluation).
