Can GET improve operational safety?
Ground engaging tools operate under demanding conditions, and safety is an important consideration throughout their service life. From installation and replacement to everyday operation, choosing the right GET solution can help reduce risks for both personnel and equipment.
One of the most significant developments is hammerless locking technology. Traditional GET replacement procedures may require hammers or impact tools, exposing maintenance personnel to risks such as flying metal particles, accidental impacts and physical strain. Hammerless systems eliminate the need for hammering to lock and unlock components, making component installation and removal safer.
But safety doesn't stop once the GET are installed. Reliable locking systems are essential to keeping components securely attached during operation. An unexpected GET detachment can have serious consequences, particularly if a lost component enters the material flow and reaches downstream equipment such as crushers, potentially causing significant damage and hazardous situations.
This is where digital technologies can make an additional difference. MTG's GET DETECTION solution, part of the DIGGING INSIGHTS™ ecosystem, monitors compatible GET components during operation and provides real-time alerts in the event of a detachment. This allows operators to react quickly and initiate retrieval procedures, helping reduce the risk of lost components reaching downstream equipment.
At MTG, safety is an essential consideration in the development of our GET solutions. By combining hammerless locking systems, reliable component retention and digital monitoring technologies, we help customers minimise risks during both maintenance and operation.
Because GET safety is not just about protecting components. It's about protecting people, equipment and the entire operation.
