Traffic Safety Equipment Made Better

10/31/2014

0 Comments

 
One of the most dangerous places to be in the world is traffic. Whether it is dealing with road rage, construction or bad driving, traffic can easily begin as a large irritant and quickly evolve into a dangerous situation. It isn’t just drivers that are the dangerous element, things like debris, working personnel, animals, holes and other hindrances can cause drivers to get into accidents and people to become injured.

That is why it is so important that the traffic safety equipment cities and companies use when they are working in traffic is critical, not only to protect the workers but to protect drivers on the road as well.

One crucial piece of traffic safety equipment is cable and hose protectors. How many times have you driven through roadwork only to see piling of wooden boards and plywood in the middle of the road? These piles are to cover the important cables and hoses that go to equipment, tools, and generators. For many companies, this practice is a way to save money or to just skip an important step. What they may not be realizing with this practice is the potential dangers to both sides of the road as well as the financial irresponsibility of this practice.

When you are using boards or plywood to protect hoses and cables, you are putting those using these tools at risk. When drivers have to move over these cable and hoses,they can easily become damaged. Furthermore, boards can move and break. This means that not only the cable and hoses could be damaged but the driver’s vehicle can become damaged to with popped tires, suspension problems and depending on the size of the vehicle and size of the pile, the vehicle may not even be able to get over the pile.

In terms of cost, many employers think that a pile of firewood is a cost-effective safety feature when it is neither. This set-up is incredibly unsafe because it offers no concrete support for the wiring or hoses that lay beneath them. So when automobiles and industrial vehicles roll over this pile-up, they are putting literal tons of pressure onto them.

Take your garden hose and turn it on, now does the water stop flowing if you step right on it? Of course, that’s basic physics! And what else happens? The water begins to build up in the hose. Now if we expand this metaphor to a traffic-filled setting, the hose is much stronger but so is the pressure coming from cars and construction equipment like bulldozers and dump trucks. So when the hoses do get eventual cracks and holes, they need to be replaced, messes need be cleaned, time must be taken out of the day to fix the situation, and all these things cost money. Time is money they say, so are you taking the best precautions to make sure you don’t lose time on your site?

Call Brahman Systems today and find out how affordable and safe our cable and hose protectors are and give your site the gift of superior traffic safety equipment.

Rent a Cable Protector Ramp For Your Factory

When you first walk into any factory in the U.S. you notice a few things: the noise, the fast pace and the importance of safety. If history has taught us anything it is that factories are some of the largest accident-prone facilities and when accidents occur in a factory setting, people can get hurt.

Factories are forced to adhere to OSHA (Office of Safety and Health Administration) regulations but that these rules do not account for every possible accident.  In large factories like shipping or manufacturing, hoses and cables are everywhere. They connect to larger machinery and help to regulate the different systems in the factory. Systems like water, air, waste, debris and equipment all use the different hose and cables. But if these hoses and cables are left exposed, they can become easily damaged, placing the entire factory in jeopardy.

Using a cable protector ramp can help avoid injuries or damage to the equipment. In the business world, that would be called a win-win. But it isn’t just using any ramp, you have to use the right cable protector ramp for the type of factory you are. If your factory uses industrial vehicles like work trucks, dump trucks, or bulldozers than not having the right kind of cable protectors you could be doing a disservice to your company.

Most companies use rubber, aluminum, or plastic to make their cable protection systems. These would be appropriate if you were using Tonka Trucks at your factory. Brahman Systems on the other hand uses steel to make our cable protectors making them the strongest product. They have been tested over and over and withstand up to 65 tons. So give them your heaviest loads, Brahman boards can handle the task. Brahman Systems cable ramps are the new standard in cable and hose protection.

Entertainment Events Need Cable Management Systems

10/2/2014

If not properly organized, entertainment events can quickly become a disaster. Look back to the stage collapse at an Indiana State Fair in 2011, killing 11 and injuring 50 others. Mechanical malfunctions like this can cause damage to life and can cost promoters hundreds of thousands in insurance settlements. So when cutting costs, be sure that you never skimp on protective equipment like cable management systems.

Whether your event be an indoor or outdoor affair, the need for cable protection is necessary. Indoor events like concerts, exhibits, and filming all require the use of wired equipment and this equipment can quickly become damaged if the proper protections aren’t in place. Cable and hose protection will save your venue and event from cancellation or problems and help keep your equipment in tip-top shape.

During a concert, wires are necessary for keeping lighting, sound and instruments going but with the amount of people walking around a venue, these things can experience wear and tear from the traffic of concertgoers. Cable protectors can also help protect wiring from tour buses and other heavy production pieces allowing for crowds and structures to move easily over them.

The only problem you may run into with cable protectors is dependent on the type of materials used in making your cable and hose protectors. Many of them are made with plastic, rubber, or aluminum and while these materials are cheaper in cost, they are inferior in sustainability. These materials are not strong and can easily damage the equipment they are designed to protect. In comparison, Brahman Systems uses steel to manufacture their cable and hose protectors which is why we call them “the NEW standard in cable and hose protection.”

Not only do cable and hose protectors keep equipment safe, but they keep the human aspect of entertainment events safe as well. When wiring and hoses are exposed or covered with plywood pieces, people can trip, fall and hurt themselves trying to move through the space. If electrical systems become compromised then all in the surrounding area are put at risk for electrical shock or electrical fire like the pyrotechnic mishaps that occurred at one pop star’s concert.

When using steel cable management systems such as Brahman Systems cable ramps, you can be assured that your equipment will be able to withstand the pressure from traffic, structures and crowds. Brahmans boards have been tested to withstand over 65 tons so bring on your crowds, stages and entertainment events. Brahman can handle all that and more.
