Safety first

Worksite and industrial safety is a top priority. Every incident can lead to injuries, production downtime, and significant costs. To address these challenges, Groupe Alltech offers the NBS product line, a complete solution designed to protect your teams, your equipment, and your profitability. 

These advanced technologies not only help prevent accidents, but also optimize productivity and reduce maintenance and repair expenses. 

NBS - Designed for heavy machinery

Strengthen security

Blind spots represent a great hazard for workers because there are zones that do not appear in the field of vision of the driver.

Restricted vision due to blind spots is the main cause of major and deadly accidents on the work site. A camera system eliminates blind spots for the driver. It is a valuable tool to help the drivers vigilance.

Reduces repair and maintenance costs

Many operators have confirmed that when backing up a loader they are unable to see anything behind them even with the rear view mirror.

Mining trucks functioning in reverse in a blasting zone could avoid sharp rocks which easily damages tires and costs thousands of dollars to replace.

Increase productivity

Certain zones of the vehicle are not visible to the operator while carrying out work. An installation of a wireless camera on the chute of a combine harvester permits the operator to see the level of grain in the trailer, therefore optimizing production.

In addition, the installation of a wireless camera on top of the crusher permits the operator of the loader or shovel to see if there are blockages at that very moment without exiting there machine to see what is going on thus saving time and increasing safety!

Increasing the visibility of the work zone allows the operator to be more productive! 

The NBS product line 

The NBS range includes intelligent systems such as high-definition cameras, radar detection, sound and visual alerts, and innovative AI-based solutions for pedestrian detection. Each product is designed to deliver maximum visibility, enhanced responsiveness, and peace of mind for your operators. 

Groupe Alltech is your One Stop Shop for safety and performance, and the NBS product line perfectly complements our comprehensive offering to meet all your needs.

As the seasons change, it’s essential to make sure your automatic lubrication system is ready for colder temperatures. Often overlooked, grease plays a critical role in the performance and longevity of your equipment. Using the wrong grease can lead to reduced efficiency, mechanical failures, and costly downtime.

Why Temperature-Adapted Grease Matters 

Each type of grease has an optimal temperature range. In summer, grease that’s too fluid may leak from lubrication points. In winter, grease that’s too thick may clog the system and prevent proper distribution.

Here's why adapting grease to temperature is essential:

• Grease viscosity:
  • Viscosity is a measure of a lubricant's resistance to flow. At higher temperatures, grease tends to become less viscous, meaning it has difficulty adhering to surfaces and forming a protective film. At lower temperatures, grease becomes more viscous, which can lead to insufficient lubrication because it cannot spread properly.  
• Protection against wear:
  • By adapting the grease to the temperature, you ensure adequate protection against wear of mechanical components. At high temperatures, a grease that maintains its viscosity can prevent hot spots and reduce friction. In cold temperatures, a thinner grease can provide effective lubrication from start-up. 
• Lifespan of components: 
  • Inadequate lubrication due to poor adaptation of grease to temperature can lead to premature wear of mechanical components, which increases maintenance costs and shortens equipment life.  
• Thermal stability: 
  • Some greases are designed to provide high thermal stability, meaning they maintain their viscosity over a wide range of temperatures. Using such greases can simplify maintenance, as they are suitable for varying conditions.
• Reduced downtime:
  • By choosing the right grease for the ambient temperature, you reduce the risk of failures related to inadequate lubrication. This helps minimize unplanned downtime and maintain continuous production.  
• Compliance with manufacturer's recommendations:
  • Equipment manufacturers often specify the types of greases recommended for their machines based on operating temperature ranges. By following these recommendations, you can maintain the equipment warranty and optimize its performance. 

Getting your system ready: A key step you shouldn’t overlook

Before temperatures drop further, take time to:

• Check the type of grease currently used in your system. 
• Replace summer grease with a winter version if needed.
• Inspect lines, injectors, and reservoirs to ensure they’re clean and in good working order.
• Clean pumps to prevent residue buildup that could affect performance.

Adapting your grease to the temperature is a simple but essential step to protect your equipment and maintain performance.

Position the forks accurately, quickly, and safely.

In warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial environments, every forklift movement matters. The Laserline GL1700 guidance system was designed to meet a simple yet critical need: to position forks accurately, quickly, and safely. 

A Laser Beam That Hits the Mark

The GL1700 projects a bright green laser beam beneath the forklift’s forks, clearly indicating the height and position of the load or pallet. This visual guide allows the operator to aim precisely, reducing the risk of collisions, misalignment, or dropped loads. 

Key Technical Features 

• Laser wavelength: 510–532 nm
• Power: 4.75 mW (Class IIIa in the U.S., Class 3R internationally)
• Estimated lifespan: 15,000 hours
• Operating temperature: -40°C to +50°C
• Protection rating: IP65 (dust and water resistant)
• Vibration resistance: MIL-STD-810F compliant
• Power supply: 12 or 24 VDC
• Power consumption: 0.1 A at 12 V / 0.05 A at 24 V
• Weight: 1 lb
• Universal mounting with built-in alignment adjustments

Safety, Efficiency, and Compliance 

The GL1700 complies with OSHA and international laser safety standards. It’s built to withstand demanding industrial environments while offering a simple, easy-to-install solution. Its precision reduces handling errors, boosts productivity, and contributes to a safer work environment. 

A Versatile Solution 

While optimized for forklifts, the GL1700 can also be used in other applications requiring precise positioning—such as ground marking equipment or specialized lifting systems.

This system is specifically engineered to withstand extreme winter conditions:

• Heated lens to prevent ice buildup.
• Automatic pneumatic system that blows air every 5 seconds to clear snow from the lens.
• Operates in temperatures from -40°C to +50°C, with storage tolerance up to +65°C.

Fewer Damages, Greater Safety 

Thanks to its precision, the GL3000PMC can reduce wing collision damage by 80 to 100%. That means:

• Less stress for drivers.
• Less downtime for equipment.
• Lower repair costs.
• Increased safety for all road users.
