Live testing of mining equipment, such as articulated dump trucks and hydraulic shovels, is crucial for maintenance but involves significant risks. Traditionally conducted with hoses and handheld gauges, this practice requires maintenance staff to be near high pressures and rotating components. SafeGauge, distributed in South Africa by Booyco Electronics, offers a safer alternative.
SafeGauge sensors and products can be attached to equipment with quick couplers or magnets, allowing measurements to be taken from up to 50 meters away. This wireless system removes personnel from hazardous areas, improving safety.
The innovation not only protects workers but also accelerates the testing process, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
