Regular maintenance is essential in order to keep the lifting equipment, different machine parts and crane lifting attachments in top shape to ensure efficient and safe completion of all lifting and moving tasks. The inadequate or lack of maintenance can lead to unwanted accidents, employees’ health problems and many other dangerous situations. This can result in reduced productivity and loss of money. Therefore, maintenance must be carried out in all workplaces and industry sectors in order for every large crane and crane lifting attachments to function perfectly. Accidents most often occur when large cranes and crane lifting attachments are not thoroughly inspected before each use and are not maintained on time. Therefore, if the core of your business requires regular use of cranes and different [&hellip
Every machine needs to be well maintained for long lasting usage and for most optimal performance. The mobile crane is no exception. If you follow the manufacturer service intervals, you will keep the machine running for a long time. Transmission is one of the main parts of a mobile crane that needs to be maintained on a regular basis. In order to not only avoid expensive repairs, maintaining mobile crane transmission will also prolong the life of the mobile crane and will keep the workers safe when operating with this machine. Poor transmission maintenance will cause the mobile crane to brake down during the work. Take preventive measures on time and properly maintain the mobile crane transmission. Step 1 – Not following the service schedule [&hellip
The concrete is the main building material that is used in various construction projects. Usually, cement mixer bowls are used for mixing the concrete. However, several steps need to be followed in order for high quality and homogeneous mixture to be created. Before you actually begin with the mixing process, always wear waterproof gloves and eye protection gear to avoid irritation or other serious health problems that can be caused by the concrete dust. Prepare all the materials you need, and pour them into the cement mixer bowl to begin the mixing process. The quality of the mixture will depend on the materials used, the proportion of every ingredient in the mixture, and on the weather conditions. Here are some of the mixing tips you [&hellip
The agitator mixer is a machine which is used in many industry sectors like chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing and cosmetic industry. In these industries, the mixing agitator is used to perform different actions like to mix different liquid materials together, to promote chemical reactions of different substances and to promote the heat transfer. There are many mixing agitator models and types available on the market such as: mechanical or rotating agitators, static mixing agitator, high sheer mixer, rotating tank agitator, agitator mixer with pump blasting liquid and multi agitator mixer. The most commonly used are the mechanical mixing agitator and the multi agitator mixer. The principle of agitation in the mechanical mixing agitator is achieved by creating movement of the liquids thanks to the impeller [&hellip
The traditional hand-mixing process of concrete is no longer used. Today, there are many concrete mixer models available on the market that provide easier, more effective and a more productive way of producing concrete. Every model has own advantages and disadvantages, specifications and configurations. The selection of a particular model depends greatly on the size of the construction project. For small projects the portable or the mobile concrete mixer is the ideal choice. A mobile concrete mixer is very convenient machines, but like with any other heavy-duty machine, there are few things that need to be considered when buying a mobile concrete mixer. Here are our tips for buying a mobile concrete mixer. Drum – The drum of the mobile concrete mixer is an essential [&hellip
Continuing from part 1 and part 2… Excavation. Another advantage of the pavement profiler is that it can be used as an excavation tool. It is a fast and accurate machine that is capable to load the materials directly into dump trucks in a single operation. Some pavement profiler models are capable to cut up to 300mm in depth and up to 2 meters in width. Milling. A milling operation is an action of breaking down layers of asphalt that are too deep or too hard. The milling action is performed by road profiler which creates a suitable granular layer that can be left on the surface. In-Situ Stabilization. Pavement profilers that are capable to perform pavement stabilization are used all over Australia in various [&hellip
A log loader is indispensable piece of equipment in the forestry industry. Indeed, it is a big investment, but it reduces operating and owning costs in the long run. Moving large logs is a very difficult task, but not for log loaders, which make this job look easy. It takes a lot of skills to operate a log loader, but it is better to spend time to learn to operate one than to use man-power. Before you buy a log loader, you need to know few things. Take your time to determine what kind of log loader you need. Once you know, follow these steps to ensure you make the right decision. Specify Your Purposes Before you start searching for a log loader, specify your [&hellip
Continuing from part 1… Functions Of The Road Profilers. The road profilers which are used heavily today are capable to perform various functions such as: asphalt profiling, patching, leveling, pavement removal, texturing, edge planing, trenching, shoulder rehabilitation, excavation, milling, cross slope leveling, in-situ stabilization, concrete profiling, rubber removal etc. Asphalt Profiling. The pavement profiling operation provides one economical solution for restoring rough pavements by removing materials. When new material is needed, the asphalt profiler cuts away the ruts and the bumps and new less costly overlay is inserted on the surface. The asphalt profiler eliminates the need for regulation, differential compaction or thick leveling. The new overlay will last longer. Leveling. A pavement profiler is used when various ruts, bumps and other fatty areas need [&hellip
The process of pavement profiling is used all over Australia. The roads and highways can be damaged very quickly because of the increased traffic and the weight of the vehicles on the roads. Furthermore, the government and the road construction engineers are facing additional problems because of the increased material and labour costs. All these factors make the entire process of road construction and road maintenance very difficult. Luckily, the process of pavement profiling gives the road construction engineers another option which can help them a lot in minimizing the costs for the pavement rehabilitation. The procedure of pavement profiling minimizes the thickness of the new overlay on the road. The process of pavement profiling is described as automatic controlled cold milling process on pavement [&hellip
