For HGV fleet owners and the commercial tire specialists that supply them, an effective truck puncture prevention and tire life extension system has become essential. No-one can afford to miss a just-in-time delivery: downtime prevents successful operation.

Likewise, bus and coach operators know just how disruptive and expensive it is to have a vehicle stopped with a puncture. Recovery is time-consuming and ruins the whole day’s schedule.

OKO Truck & Bus tire sealant for Heavy Goods Vehicles is the solution

It is specially designed to prevent punctures and lengthen the life of faster-moving tires with the greater heat that builds up inside them.

OKO RTG provides a permanent seal with negligible loss of air pressure. It is a speed-rated puncture protection treatment that can seal multiple punctures as you drive, thus allowing commercial tires to remain operational for longer. It is water-based and rinses out harmlessly, allowing remoulding to take place.

Easy to apply from its 25 litre drum and pump, OKO does not adversely affect handling or ride characteristics and by helping to avert slow punctures when running it tends to keep tires at their correct pressure, thus maximising fuel economy.

Protect your vehicles, your drivers and your passengers: fit OKO Truck & Bus.

Step 1: Daily summary inspection

First, a summary visual inspection should be made on a daily basis by the operator;

• Check if there is a thin layer of fresh grease at each lubrication point 
• Make sure all hoses and adapters are in place and not leaking  
• Check the electronic card to make sure there are no alarms 
• Do a test cylce (additional cycle button) on the electronic card to make sure that the pump works well and that the pressure rises on the pressure gauge of the pump

Summary inspection ensures that once the equipment is up and running, everything is functional. No need to turn back for a minor break and lose production time.

Step 2: Full inspection in fall and spring

Afterwardfall and spring are key seasons for full inspections. Fall for snow removal equipment and spring for construction and paving equipment.

Scheduled inspection will allow you to detect and resolve problems before the work. Keeping your equipment in optimal condition can be more productive!

Who does the inspection?

1. Us

The inspection of the lubrication system can be entrusted to a workshop recognized for the services of Allfett systems . This saves you time and ensures that all points are covered. An inspection report is provided to you for each equipment inspected.

Consult the list of authorized distributors:

2. You

Inspection can also be done by your team if you have time . Tools are available to guide you in your operations.

Safety code for construction

Many organizations, notably Hydro Québec and the CNESST require that construction equipment must be equipped with a range limiting device that blocks the system to avoid contact with electrical wires and any environmental obstacles. You thus have to conform to the « Safety code for construction ».  

Did you know?

The electrical current of high voltage wires can easily be in contact with objects and people that are not located at a secure distance! 

Distance to respect:

When jobs are carried out near power lines, all people, parts, equipment or machinery parts must be :

• More than 3m of the electrical lines that are less than 125 kV;
• More than 5m of the electrical line that are 125 to 250 kV:
• More than 8m of the electrical line that are 250 to 550 kV;
• More than 12m of the electrical line that are more than 550 kV.

What is a range limiting device?

The range limiting device is a safety device and assistance for equipment operators. It is a monitoring device which supplies the operator precise indication on the positioning of the machine in respect to environmental obstacles which will protect the operator. It therefore limits the risk of the machine to come into contact with environmental obstacles (Electrical wires, walls, ceilings, etc.).

Because simplicity + reliability = Security 

In order to comply with the law, does not mean it needs to be a complicated task. The MEGA range limiting device is simple and easy to program. The Alltech Group recommends the 600 series for all excavation jobs.

The range limiting device MEGA 6000 is designed to program a height limit and a rotation limit (left, right). It is also possible to program multiple limits (optional) and to indicate the depth of the bucket (optional). The range limiting device series model 6000 was conceived for a use on many types of machines. It can be installed on all makes and models of equipment.

It adapts too many types of installations;

• Excavator
• Mini-excavator
• Backhoe
• Wheeled excavator
• Excavator double –boom

The range limiting device is an indispensable tool for your security while operating an excavator below electrical wires.

Yes, it’s the law, but above all it is for your security!

Stability of dump trucks and trailers

Several fatalities and serious accidents in the transport industry have been caused by overturning trucks and dump trailers. These accidents seem to result in particular from a lack of knowledge of the principles of stability linked to the use of a dump vehicle.

The right ways to work in a secure fashion.  

Loading correctly

• Respect the maximum load of your dumper

• Distribute the load in a way that it is balanced and not all accumulated in the rear.

• Park on grounds that are totally flat to prevent displacing the load in the dumper.

• Lubricate the dumper for sticky materials (i.e.: humid earth, asphalt etc.).

• Cover the trailer for all hot materials (asphalt).

Unloading correctly

• Align the hitch before you begin to unload

• Observe the grounds before unloading: There are no slopes, stability of the ground, there are no holes, and make sure when opening the tailgate is free of all obstacles (i.e.: walls, electrical wires, etc.)

• Maintain a secure distance in the case of side by side unloading.

• Always deflate the pneumatic suspensions.

• Remain in the cabin and leave your seatbelt on at all times while unloading.

• Wait till the dumper has completely lowered back to the correct position before leaving.

What to do if the load does not dump?

• Slowly lower the dumper and find another method to unload

• Do not make back and forth movements, jolt on the jack of the truck or Try to drive off while the dumper is loaded to try to unload because this increases your chances of overturning.
