Safety Halo for Articulated Dump Trucks

EQUIPOS DE SEGURIDAD

Articulated dump trucks (ADTs) are incredibly versatile, expertly designed to handle heavy loads and traverse rough, uneven terrain with ease. Their articulated joint allows for exceptional manoeuvrability, making them ideal for navigating steep slopes, tight spaces, and challenging landscapes where rigid dump trucks might struggle. However, the use of ADTs poses notable safety risks. Their large size creates significant blind spots and visibility challenges, which increases the risk of collisions and accidents involving pedestrians and smaller mobile equipment.

To mitigate the risks associated with ADTs, comprehensive safety measures are crucial, with risk avoidance being the most critical. Separating pedestrians and other mobile plant equipment from ADTs is essential to address the aforementioned safety concerns. Advanced safety technologies, such as the Safety Halo™ system, can be implemented.
The Safety Halo system leverages a combination of biophysics and psychology, triggering instinctive reflexes in personnel to avoid entering hazardous areas. This proactive approach significantly reduces the likelihood of accidents around ADTs and enhances overall safety across the mining and quarrying sites.
