Series 6000 Range limiting device
The system is reliable, compact and easily programmed.
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. With a continuous surveillance, it assists the operator by giving a sound indication and a light signal once the limit is close. If this is attained a blocking system immobilizes the machine. It therefore limits the risk of the machine to come into contact with environmental obstacles (Electrical wires, walls, ceilings, etc.). The device eliminates human error which is responsible for many serious accidents and fatalities.
The Mega systems installed on the excavators are conforming to the security code act for the construction work of the CNESST. For each new installation an engineer letter is issued certifying the quality of the operating system of the machine.
Why install a range limiting device :
- Eliminates risks of contacts with environmental obstacles
- Facilitates a surveillance of the working environment
- Eliminates costly fines from the CNESST
- Eliminates human error, responsible for many serious accidents and fatalities.
- Meets the requirements of article 5.2.2 of the security code for construction work

Characteristics
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;
- Standard excavator The MEGA 6000 system warns and blocks the hydraulic controls of the excavator. It is directly connected to the hydraulic or electrical braking module.
- Double boom excavator The MEGA 6000 system warns and blocks the 2nd boom of your excavator with an extra angle sensor (multi- angle application).
- Mini Excavator (boom fixe & swing boom) The MEGA 6000 system warns and blocks the commands like a standard excavator. It also blocks the swing boom of your mini excavator when the system is in function.
- Backhoe The MEGA 6000 system warns and blocks the commands like a standard excavator. In addition, it blocks the stick extension.

Programmation
1. Fixed height on 360°
The height limit is a limit on the maximum angle of the boom. It is also a 360° fixed height limit.
(French only)
2. Free zone (two walls)
The free rotation zone does not have any height limit. It is limited by two side walls. The boom cannot go beyond these walls.
(French only)
3. Height limit (between two walls)+Another free zone
It is possible to program a height limit under the power lines and a free zone (with no height limit) where the excavator loads the truck. Here’s an example of a practical use of this limit: an excavator digs a trench near power lines and has to put the material in a truck.
(French only)
4. Variable height limit with two walls
A variable limit is a height limit that can vary according to the boom position on the rotation (variable height limit). According to the general shape of the obstacle, you may need a limit at a certain height in a specific place, and another height somewhere else.
(French only)
5. Variable radius limit with two walls (optional)
A variable limit is a radius limit that can vary according to the boom position on the rotation (variable radius). You might need a particular radius limit somewhere and another radius limit somewhere else depending on the general shape of the obstacle.
6. Depth indicator (optional)
This optional depth indicator helps the operator to optimize excavation and levelling operations. The system indicates the depth of the bucket according to a pre-established marker.
