Raised dump body light and sound warning system

Security system for dump trucks

"The amendments to the Highway Safety Code include provisions requiring that all heavy vehicles with a dump body be equipped with a warning system that is automatically activated until the dump body is completely lowered. As of April 2019, all heavy vehicles with a dump body whose height when raised exceeds the maximum height allowed must be equipped with a warning system that is automatically activated until the dump body is completely lowered. "

The penalty: Offenders face a fine of $350 to $1,050.

At the moment, the regulation and technical specifications, such as, the sound level, location, color or the flashing light frequency, have not yet been established. It is therefore, too early to modify the targeted vehicles.

Next Steps

Once the regulation project is implemented, those interested will have a 45-day period to send in their comments for the project. These comments will be reviewed and if needed, the regulation project will be modified in consequence.

Thereafter, the regulation could enter into effect. The SAAQ (Société d’assurance automobile du Québec) will make known the technical specifications so that all owners and users will be able to proceed with the required modifications.

Update of accepted greases

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 grease

After analyzing the working conditions of our automatic greasing system, here are the recommendations concerning the choice of the grease to use:

Oil basis:Viscosity at 40ºC between 100 and 220 CST
Thickener: lithium or calcium sulfonate type
Additive: Extreme Pressure
NLGI grade: 1 and 2 (for colder regions, use EP-1 grease from October to April and EP-2 grease from April to October.)

Non desirable elements:

A high base oil viscosity will slow down the mobility of the product in cold weather.
Certain thickener like barium, clays, etc.
Solid additives like graphite, molly 5% and copper when the concentration exceeds 3 microns.

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.

Here is a list of accepted greases for the ALLFETT systems.

Esso Epic EP
Esso Unirex EP
Shell Gadus S2 V220
Shell Gadus S3 V220
Texaco Multifak EP
