ACCESS IN ACTION • AUGUST 2016

UGL Kentz JV is responsible for

the engineering, procurement and

construction of the onshore facilities at

Ichthys, including the gas processing

plant at Blaydin Point.

The engineering firm, which regularly

reviews its EWP operator training,

determined a round of training prevention

would safeguard its fleet in Darwin. It

appointed Genie to deliver its Genie Lift

Pro operator training program, to

60 operators working on site at Ichthys.

“We considered the length of training

we were doing on machines, such as the

Genie ZX-135 boom lift, and we thought

it was pretty constant,” Mike Tuckerman,

HSES Manager, UGL Kentz Ichthys MEC-

1 Project Darwin said.

“We have our own high-risk trainers,

but it was fantastic to have the subject

experts from Genie on site. We put

everyone qualified to operate a Genie ZX-

135 or Genie SX-180 boom lift through

the training and feedback was excellent.”

Mike said Genie Lift Pro training

improved operator skill levels and will

minimise asset damage.

“The more we build on the site, the more

restricted becomes the space the EWPs

must operate within,” he

said.

“Before the training, we

were sometimes bumping

safety baskets against some

of the assets. This isn’t

happening anymore. There is

also less machine downtime

and improved productivity.”

The professionalism and

service delivered by Genie

was world-class, Mike said,

who authorised Genie Lift

Pro training for another 190

operators at the Darwin site.

“You want this sort of

partnership with your

stakeholders on such a mega project

as Ichthys. It really was a preventative

action, which has taken our training to

the next level,” Mike said.

The on site tuition was led by Mal

McIntosh, Quality, Genie Training and

Technical Support Manager Asia Pacific,

Terex AWP Australia,.

“The training was four hours, yet some

of the operators considered they had

received the equivalent of a day’s worth

of knowledge and training,” Mal said.

The face-to-face training provided

McIntosh with valuable insights into the

safety measures used by some operators

to operate the Genie ZX-135 boom lifts.

“Through Genie Lift Pro training, we aim

to promote a wider understanding of the

safety processes built into our machines

and ensure the normal operational

functions become second nature to

operators. We also want to make sure

operators are not getting into situations

that could be avoided,” Mal said.

The new 22m spider is suited for use on

load-sensitive surfaces. With maximum

working height of 21.7m, maximum

platform height of 19.7m and maximum

horizontal reach of 10.3m, the 2210 stows

very neatly down to just under 6m in

length and just over 2m high, making it a

very versatile and convenient lift.

A new, strong tilt-bed trailer has been

designed for the 2210 and the combined

weight is under 4.5tonnes while the tri-

axle design provides excellent handling.

All 2210's are powered with a Kubota

diesel engine and dual power is provided

with either a 240volt electric motor, or

an on-board battery system. The dual

powered 2210 is brilliant where outreach

is required in confined indoor locations.

Monitor's 2210 has excellent up-and-

over reach with modern double knuckle

technology, and adjustable fly-jib for

extra manoeuvrability. The 2210 also has

the unique ability to rotate

360 degrees even when the

stabiliser legs are set in their

narrow position.

With the basket very easily

removed and the tracks in

the narrow position, the 2210

allows for smooth and easy

doorway access. The radio

controlled feature allows all

functions to be controlled

from the basket (or from any

other position). This includes

driving, setting the stabiliser
