New CPLVT V15 light towers offer Durability, Safety and Performance

Chicago Pneumatic introduces two new light towers, the V15s, the first models in the Chicago Pneumatic range to use a heavy-duty polyethylene (PE) canopy. This new canopy coupled with the light tower’s small size, ease of transportation and fuel-efficient performance ensure that the new models meet the demands of a variety of applications.
To facilitate productivity by allowing workers to operate safely in any ambient light conditions, the V15 range has two models. The CPLT V15 comes with metal halide technology, while the CPLT V15 LED features LED lighting technology and can light an area apppoximately 25 per cent larger, while proving additional fuel efficiency benefits. A Kubota EPA Tier 4 engine powers both options, and to ensure operational efficiency as well as fuel efficiency the units are equipped with a 28-gallon fuel tank. In practical terms this allows the light towers to operate for many days without the need to refuel, helping to maximise productivity and illumination time. Because of the harsh conditions that the light towers are likely to operate within the new PE canopy protects vital internal components to ensure peak performance and offer optimised lifespan and resale value. Not only is the canopy durable, but it also features wide wing doors to allow easy maintenance access to the machine, including service components and drains. The V15 range also has an environmentally friendly frame that prevents any excess fluid from escaping. Even in the most demanding conditions, the V15s ensure complete safety at site with four heavy-duty stabilisers and a level indicator. Designed for easy transportability to or around the work site with a compact and lightweight design, the light tower can be transported with the mast in the vertical position, allowing safer transportation and installation. “These light towers tick all the boxes and provide complete peace of mind when it comes to even the most demanding job site,” Says Henry Xu, Factory Product Manager for Chicago Pneumatic. “The CPLT V15 range offers customers a choice of options to fit their exact needs and deliver the most efficient product for their site, along with offering great value for money – as customers have come to expect from Chicago Pneumatic.” “This new V15 light tower range along with the recent launch of our CPDG mobile diesel-powered generator range and other new products in the pipeline, bear testament to our objective of bringing the complete Chicago Pneumatic range of construction, compaction and mining equipment and support services to our customers throughout South and southern Africa,” states Jacques van der Westhuizen, Business Development Manager for Chicago Pneumatic in South Africa. ”The route to market for the Chicago Pneumatic range in South and southern Africa is through dealers and to this end, we have established a solid country-wide and cross border Chicago Pneumatic authorised dealer network to ensure a broad footprint in terms of both product and service solutions.” Van der Westhuizen points out that in the current protracted tough economic climate, sound after-sales service and product back-up take on even greater significance. ”An extensive Chicago Pneumatic footprint makes it possible to meet customer requirements regardless of how remote their location. Our ever-expanding network comprises select dealers such as BO’s Hire & Sales (Pty) Ltd (Kwa-Zulu Natal), BMI Group and Grinding Power (Gauteng) and United Sales & Service (USS) (Zambia), who are committed to the reputable CP brand and recognise the value add of this world class quality, robust, reliable and competitively priced product range. They also have the necessary experience and infrastructure to ensure rapid and reliable product supply and after-sales service delivery.” Contact: Jacques van der Westhuizen - Chicago Pneumatic Business Development Manager Phone: 011 821 9000 - Fax: 011 388 3919 jacques.vanderwesthuizen@cp.com About Chicago Pneumatic Since 1901, the Chicago Pneumatic name has represented high-performance tools and equipment designed for an extensive range of applications.

Epiroc and Elf Drilling – keeping the finger on the mining pulse

Image
Epiroc has once again rocked the local mining space with a landmark sale of the first BenchREMOTE in South Africa to key customer, Elf Drilling. The innovative BenchREMOTE is an advanced monitoring system, which can be linked to up to three SmartROCs and is ideal for removing the operator from the danger area, taking him away from the noise and dust and drilling in hazardous areas near the high wall, thereby contributing to elevated safety levels. Elf Drilling, since its inception three decades ago, has been a frontrunner in drilling, sampling and service for the Northern Cape mining industry. Operating as a complementary team, Faghmi Cader, Eduard and Lizelle Mostert are leading Elf Drilling into the new age of automation drilling. Consisting of a regional office in Kathu, a head office in Kimberly and a workshop in Kuruman and supported by a team of 145 employees, the company boasts extensive experience across South Africa, as well as in Namibia and Angola. Elf Drilling is also a m

Epiroc anchors down on safety and productivity with new Cabletec SL

Image
Epiroc understands that safety and productivity are fundamental to a mine’s sustainable future and this was the inspiration behind the design and development of the latest ground-breaking fully mechanised Cabletec SL. Mines are increasingly recognising the invaluable role of automation and digitalisation in driving down input costs and driving up output, efficiencies and productivity while at the same time enhancing the safety of mine workers. Featuring advanced automation technology, this fully mechanised and versatile cable bolting machine eliminates the need for perilous and time consuming hand-held drilling and manual installation of mechanical anchors by performing these processes remotely. The Cabletec SL also reduces the number of operators required to install mechanical anchors to a maximum of two people who are able to operate the machine safely from a canopy or via blue tooth remote control technology. Remote functions include changing the drill steel and inserting the

Reconditioning of components with Thermal Spray Coatings

Image
The application of Thermal Spray coatings by South Africa’s leading surface coating specialists, Thermaspray, can lead to an enhancement in performance and an extension of service life of expensive engineering parts and industrial components, leading to substantial reductions in downtime and production costs. Engineering components and parts in production processes are subject to degradation through wear, corrosion, oxidation and cavitation. Thermaspray, Managing Director, Dr. Jan Lourens, points out that as all these degradation processes are active on the surface of components, a suitably selected and correctly applied surface coating like Thermal Spray can effectively re-condition production equipment to ‘as new’. “In fact”, adds Dr. Lourens, “very often, through degradation analyses and the selection of a superior coating, a thermal spray coating makes it possible to provide virtually as good as new a component. Most importantly for the end user, this means substantial cost sav
