Bend Tech Specialise in Providing Safety Handrails for Mobile Mining Equipment

Announcement posted by Bend-Tech Engineering 07 Aug 2012

Workplace safety considerations are paramount in the minds of most businesses and organisations. However, safety provisions for high risk work sites such as mobile mining equipment can be even more important.

Operating heavy vehicles comes with a certain amount of risk regardless of the work site or situation. Yet, when underground mobile mining equipment is used, safety can be an even bigger factor.

Most of the heavy machinery involved does contain on-board safety features to help protect the operator. Yet, far too many loaders and scrapers don’t come fitted with standard safety handrails to increase safety of the operator getting into or out of the machine.

This type of equipment is generally larger than standard construction equipment the heights involved in climbing into and out of a machine cab are increased. Additionally, the stairwells added to these machines sometimes provide little more than footholds for the operator to use.

For this reason, the expert team at Bend Tech have engineered complete safety handrail packages to suit a range of front-end loaders and scrapers. These are able to be purchased directly off the shelf in a variety of designs to suit a wide range of models. This can include simple handrails through to safety access handrails, but pre-designed handrails for specific machinery can represent a significant cost saving.

All of the designs available are engineered to improve work site safety for operators working on underground mobile mining equipment. The design features also ensure that on-site installation should be relatively quick and easy.

The highly experience in-house team of underground mine experts at Bend Tech can also design and create individual safety handrail packages to suit any individual application.
