It means a lot to me that as an organisation we make decisions based on 'doing the right thing' rather than profit - we know that profit will follow if we stick to our principles. I understand the importance of getting a machine back to work so I'll work through the night if that's what it takes. Then I'll make sure the operators are offered training before I leave the install.

We have years of experience in both above and underground environments and understand the unique problems of your industry. Humid conditions and non-stop production schedules put huge pressure on equipment. Flammable liquids, oils and hydraulic fluids coupled with hot manifolds and engine bays, means the risk of fire is ever present.

The environment you operate in is absolutely unique. You work in harsh and often isolated places. Your vehicles run at high temperatures and carry large amounts of flammable oils and fuels. Plus you're surrounded by chopping debris, wood chips, sawdust and trees. These factors make having an effective vehicle fire suppression system absolutely crucial.

We know how crucial it is to protect your machinery from fire. Vehicles like screeners and crushers are production-critical and the cost of one being at a standstill can be thousands a day. We've supplied, installed and maintained systems in everything from desert to arctic conditions in 53 countries.

When working in docks and ports, you're dealing with all sorts of potential hazards: fertilisers, biomass, wood chip and animal feed to name but a few. When you're also working with cranes and vehicles with high temperature engines, there's always the potential for fires. And having critical machinery like a straddle carrier out of action for any significant time just doesn't bear thinking about.
