No one wants a derailment but if one occurs then replacing damaged wooden and concrete sleepers can delay the resumption of rail services. This isn't the case with #KLP Hybrid Polymer Sleepers, as one rail operator discovered recently when a fully loaded truck, with axle load 10 tonnes was derailed. The wheel flange pressed into the sleeper surface with 5 tonnes load. As you can see there are only surface scratches, demonstrating the quality and robustness of the #KLP sleepers. Not having to replace the sleepers meant rail services were soon back up and running. Lankhorst Engineered Products, Lankhorst Rail, WireCo, HIRD Group, InnoTrans, #railway #crosstie #railroad

Yet another tragic incident highlighting the dangers of mixer rollovers around the globe and another preventable fatality. According to the reports, the mixer driver lost control, hit the pavement, and rolled on top of the car, killing the car driver instantly. Regardless of the country of operation, the global ready-mix industry continues to contribute to unsafe road safety practices without any standards to prevent further incidents. In 2023, the UK suffered 28 on-road mixer rollovers, a consistent figure year on year. For those who have followed the recent VCM weights debate with the House of Commons Transport Select Committee, the repeated use of 'safety' is mentioned without substance. I've pointed out the previous parliamentary questions to ministers and the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom, going back to 1954, concerning the number of mixer rollovers on UK roads. Understanding what must be done to prevent rollovers and other mixer-related incidents isn't difficult; the reluctance to address them often comes down to the heart of the current debate - payload. That, in turn, can lead to overloading and altered handling and braking, load security issues, driver distraction, and a potential rollover through erroneous information. There are hundreds of previous incidents that can be learnt from. From mixers landing on moving trains and cars and repeated driver, pedestrian and cyclist KSIs demonstrate that road safety should be the actual debate. Sadly, it is now behind decarbonisation, road wear and tear, and increasing the payload of drum mixers in the UK.

Whether you're in construction or landscaping, selecting the ideal skid steer can ensure project success. With typical weights ranging from 3,000 to 12,000 pounds, skid steer functionality can be enhanced or limited by its size. Here are some key factors to consider: 1️⃣ Traction and Stability: Heavier skid steers can handle heavier materials and navigate rough terrain 2️⃣ Transportation: Lighter models are easier to move around/between job sites 3️⃣ Operational Limits: Some job sites may involve areas with weight limits or sensitive terrain, not suitable for bulkier skid steers 4️⃣ Safety: Weight influences a machine's center of gravity and tipping risk Check out our guide to Understanding Skid Steer Weight for a detailed look at how size impacts your projects, and tips for selecting the best model. #ConstructionEquipment #Construction #Landscaping #EquipmentOperator #ConstructionSafety

The Aeromaster PT-170X pull-type compost windrow turner is designed for large compost sites. Its innovative design allows the operator to aerate, blend, and add water & inoculants in a single pass. The rugged PT-170X is built from a simple design using heavy duty components to maximize machine life while minimizing required maintenance. The drum has a belt drive driven by a PTO driveline to cushion the metal fatigue allowing for a much longer use with little to no wear to the drivetrain. Driveline safety is provided by an auto trip PTO driveline that disengages if it encounters excess stress. When the drive train stops turning, the clutch resets, and turning can restart immediately. The retractable drum hydraulically lifts out of the windrow in seconds at any time to allow inspection of the windrow inside profile or exit the windrow for any reason. When switched to the transport position, the PT-170 is ready to be pulled down the road to the next location.

With their superior mobility and considerable lifting capacities, hydraulic truck cranes are the workhorses of the industry. The seemingly simple physics of hydraulics allows these machines to raise multi-ton bridge sections or the hot tub in your backyard. #cranes #cranespotting #construction #heavylifting
