JSG Industrial Systems—Automatic Lubrication

Automatic lubrication systems are a precise and extremely efficient method of lubricating your equipment. Automatic lubrication reduces processing costs thereby allowing companies to increase profits and remain competitive in the marketplace.

JSG Industrial Systems—Fire Suppression

Fire suppression system protects against fires that occur in the engine environment and also other Class B risks such as oil pumps, hydraulic equipment and diesel fuel systems. In the case of a fire, the foam fire suppression system can be manually activated, or if no one is present the fire sensors will activate the system automatically.

Caterpillar Institute—Integration between mobile plant licenses and the Extractive Industries Training Package

Throughout the industry there is confusion regarding the Licensing and Competency Assessment requirements for employees that operate plant and equipment. Much of this confusion arises as a result of the requirements of government authorities such as WorkSafe and the requirements under the National Competency Standards. Raylene West, General Manager of the Caterpillar Institute, will provide information on the current requirements and the governments move to integrate licensing with the National Training Packages.

Galesafe Weighing—Hydraulic Scales on Wheel Loaders

Safety and productivity benefits of hydraulic scales on face and production loaders. These systems are available in three different configurations, being:

• Scale only—providing information to the loader operator only
• Scale with Data Module—provides ‘after the event’ information
• Scale with Real Time wireless connectivity—provides ‘real-time’ information
