Kerrick’s 2000kg Gantry is now certified
to the Australian Standards AS1418.1 and
AS1418.3. making it legally compliant,
operator friendly and safe to use.
According to Kerrick, as per the WorkCover
NSW Government guidelines anyone
responsible for the use of high risk cranes,
hoists and winches such as employers
in the construction industry or hire and
rental agencies must ensure their gear is
OH&S legislation compliant in accordance
with the relevant aspects of the AS1418
Standard.
“The Occupational Health and Safety
Act 2000 (the Act) and the Occupational
Health and Safety Regulation 2001
(the Regulation) places obligations on
designers, manufacturers and suppliers of
plant, and any person responsible for its
use, to ensure that it is safe and does not
present a risk to persons using it or who
may otherwise be exposed to its use.
A person hiring or leasing a crane, hoist or
winch designed after the commencement
of the Regulation on 1 September 2001
must ensure that it has been designed
and manufactured in accordance with the
relevant part of the Australian Standard AS
Following the footsteps of the DPW-4000
launched less than a year ago, Makinex
now offers a lighter and more compact
pressure washer; the DPW-2500.
Tthe DPW-2500 combines a rotary cleaner
and wand in the one machine with the
ease of swapping between them at the
turn of a handle.
While the DPW-2500 is lighter, more
compact and easy to manoeuvre, it
features adjustable pressure ranges from
1000-2500PSI making it suitable for a
Kerrick Gantry now AS1418 Certified
1418.

DC Generators for LED
lighting towers
Sincro’s range of alternators is enhanced
with its series of direct current machines
and are suitable as battery chargers,
power plants in lighting towers and
emergency power supplies or back up to
solar/wind or hybrid systems.
Sincro products are suitable for DC
lighting and are ideal for operation with
LED lights. The DC generator can be
optimised to deliver high currents at low
voltages required in battery charging
and operating DC loads, no additional
battery chargers or power supplies are
required.
DC generators: do not require a transfer
switch in all applications.; transfer
switches can lower system reliability;
the DC generator operating at 24 or
48Vdc can provide advantages when
required to operate in Extra Low Voltage
applications; in switch mode power
supplies AC generators with voltage
regulators can experience compatibility
issues due to the current pulsing load.
The DC generator when connected to a
battery is not affected by this issue.
