CPH’s commitment to operational excellence is deeply rooted in two core principles – safety and efficiency. As part of this commitment, we continually seek out innovations that not only enhance the well-being of our dedicated teams but also sharpen the efficiency of our heavy equipment maintenance. That’s precisely why we recently integrated a Tracked Elevating Device (TED) from Nivek Industries into our maintenance fleet.
Beyond manual lifting – a safer approach to maintenance
Traditional maintenance work requiring lifting can be a demanding and potentially hazardous task, often involving manual handling risks or awkward positioning. Our investment in advanced, remote-controlled TEDs addresses these challenges head-on.
These robust, battery-powered units are specifically designed to safely and effortlessly manage the removal, maneuvering, and reinstallation of items including dozer, scraper and excavator belly guards, pumps and truck transmissions.
For our fitters and maintenance crews, this means:
- Significantly enhanced safety: The remote operation capability of TEDs allows our personnel to maintain a safe distance during the lifting process. This eliminates the need for manual lifting of heavy components, drastically reducing the risk of strains, sprains, and other musculoskeletal injuries. Safety isn’t just a buzzword for us; it’s an operational imperative.
- Improved ergonomics: By empowering our teams to control the elevation and positioning of belly guards with precision via remote, we ensure they can work in more natural, comfortable, and ergonomic postures. As a result, this not only makes the job easier but also contributes to long-term health and reduces fatigue.
Precision maintenance, done safely
In the fast-paced world of mining and civil projects, every minute of equipment downtime impacts productivity. The TEDs are not just about safety; they are a powerful tool for boosting the efficiency and safety of our maintenance routines.
- Faster turnarounds: The effortless handling of belly guards and other lifting jobs streamlines the inspection and repair process. In the past, what once took considerable effort and multiple hands can now be achieved more quickly and smoothly, allowing our dozers to return to action with minimal delay.
- Accuracy in placement: The controlled, precise movement offered by the TEDs ensures that belly guards are aligned and reinstalled accurately, reducing the potential for re-work and extending the lifespan of components.
- Optimised staff rostering: By making the maintenance process more efficient, we optimise the use of our skilled maintenance teams. Ultimately, this allows us to allocate labour more effectively across projects.
Investing in the future of operations
Adopting TED technology shows our continued focus on practical innovation and safety. Across all our Queensland projects and beyond, we’re investing in the safety of our people, the reliability of our fleet and the success of our clients.
