excavation

, 1 Comment

excavation is the extraction of precious minerals or other geological materials from the soil, from an ore body, vein or (coal) seam. The term furthermore encompasses the exclusion of soil. components recovered by excavation include groundwork metals, prized metals, iron, uranium, coal, precious gems, limestone, oil shale, rock salt and potash. Any material that will not be developed through agricultural methods, or conceived by artificial means in a lab or factory, is generally mined.

Mining techniques can be split up into two widespread excavation kinds: surface excavation and sub-surface (underground) excavation. Surface excavation is done by eliminating (stripping) exterior vegetation, dirt, and if essential, levels of bedrock in alignment to come to interred ore deposits. methods of exterior mining include; Open-pit mining which comprises of recovery of components from an open pit in the ground, quarrying or gathering construction materials from an open pit mine, strip mining which comprises of exposing surface levels off to reveal ore/seams below, and mountaintop removal, routinely affiliated with coal excavation, which involves taking the peak of a hill off to reach ore deposits at depth. Sub-surface excavation comprises of digging tunnels or shafts into the soil to come to interred ore deposits. Ore, for processing, and waste rock, for disposal, are brought to the exterior through the tunnels and shafts. Sub-exterior mining can be classified by the type of get access to shafts used, the extraction procedure or the procedure utilised to reach the inorganic deposit.

Hybrid Technology
In Feb 2011, STILL RX70 HYBRID emerged. This technology won Federal Ecodesign Award In 2012.
“The Federal Ecodesign Award is of special value to us, because it honors not only the individual product but the whole underlying philosophy.” says Knoef. “Ecologic responsibility is an elementary component of our corporate mission and it comprises production processes, product use as well as recycling of the product. Winning the award tells us that we are on the right way.”

Features of Hybrid Technology:

  • The Toyota hybrid lift truck combines an IC engine, electric generator and battery in a design that allows the engine to operate with optimum fuel and emissions efficiency.
  • They have reduce the fuel cost and the emission of CO2. So the trucks are environment friendly. (Significantly while delivering the same overall performance as internal combustion (IC) models.)
  • The truck has best electric and internal combustion technology.
  • The concept forklift combines an IC engine, electric generator and battery in a design that allows the engine to operate with optimum fuel/emissions efficiency.
  • The hybrid technology includes NiMH battery pack for energy storage.
  • Besides a fuel tank, the truck is fitted with energy stores located at the rear.
  • These are charged from the energy that is released during braking.
  • They are consist of two energy storage systems.
  • These are not only featured as the environment friendly but also good as economically as required less fuel.
  • The new RX70 HYBRID has a rated capacity of 3.0 and 3.5 tonnes and was developed on the basis of the highly successful RX70 diesel truck.
  • The truck stores energy and utilize it for the future acceleration.
  • Driving and lifting movements are easily controllable.

      Forklift Check-list for Forklift Operators

      , in , 1 Comment


      A person involves in Forklift Training or driving forklift has to understand not just the driving, but also the forklift parts and other important guidelines. One basic thing that I recommend to every forklift Driver is forklift check-list. This check-list means to check you forklift on a daily basis or before you are going to drive.
      Forklift is kind of a complicated machine. That is why it can cause a minor to major accident if it is not checked properly. Within last couple of years I have found some very pathetic forklift accidents videos which really made me scared. That is why I am here preparing a check-list for all forklift drivers to save their lives from accidents.

      Precautions

      1. Handle carefully the cable trays
      2. Move only in designated area
      3. Drive carefully
      4. Do not be so fast
      5. Apply break carefully, especially if loading weight
      6. Loads should be lower than stability
      7. Have a spotter if can’t see properly
      8. Use lights sharpness according to the place
      9. Don`t drive until you are trained
      10. Buy Parts from an authorized dealer

      Forklift Accidents Statistics

      OSHA determines that:

      About 85 fatalities per year
      34,900 Serious Injuries
      61,800 Non-serious Injuries

      ITA (Industrial Truck Association) determines that:

      Total 855,900 trucks are in USA. 11% of them will be involved in any kind of accident per year.

      Main Causes of Forklift Fatalities are:

      42% tip over
      25% Crushed between vehicles
      11% Crushed between two vehicles
      10% Stuck by a Forklift
      4% Fall from platform
      8% Material Fall

      Forklift Inspection

      The forklift inspection needs to be done on a daily basis before you start your work. This inspection includes:
      • Checking the weight you are going to load on forklift
      • The capacity of your truck
      • Load is stable or not?
      • Height of the load
      • Place where to operate the forklift (Generally Electric forklift required flat and clean place to operate)
      • How much the battery is charged (For loading weight it must be charged at least 50% for normal load and 75% for heavy loads)
      • Check the cleanliness of your truck
      • Nearby objects
      Note: The CAMD forklift capacity is 3000 lbs including the weight of pallets or lifting equipment.

      Technical Inspection

      This inspection includes following tasks:

      1. Fuel Check:
      Check the fuel of your forklift. If you have LPG Forklift you should check the Gas level and if using Diesel or petrol use that. Also check if there is any kind of leakage in the fuel. LPG and Petrol both can cause fire explosion if leakage is not checked before starting. Check for the water level and hydraulic fluid as well.

      2. Damage Check:
      Determine if there is any kind of minor or major damage or crack in pallets of forklift. Check the pallets including top clips. Cracked pallets can cause of falling the load which can cause accident as well.

      3. Tire Check:
      Check if the Tyre is puncture. Check the condition of tires and determine if they need to be change.

      4. Safety Equipment:
      This includes the check of seat belt. Seat belt is important to prevent you in case of forklift accident.

      5. Other Safety Checks:
      Horn, Lights, Functioning properly, Chain and anchor pins, Bolts, Nut Guards, Engine Oil, Tires Pressure, breaks, hydraulic controls.
