Russell Mineral Equipment Pty Ltd
Russell Mineral Equipment (RME) is a technology manufacturing company identifying issues in the mining and mineral processing industries, inventing solutions and designing and manufacturing mechanical, electronic, hydraulic and pneumatic systems to solve these problems.
RME has implemented a safety solution to eliminate manual scrap metal disposal which was labour intensive and carried a high risk of finger crush injury.
RME developed the 'Self Dumping Steel Waste Pallet' which eliminated the need to manually collect and dispose of steel off-cuts into steel scrap recycling bins.
Once loaded, the 'Self Dumping Steel Waste Pallet' is transported using forklift tines positioned under the pallet. The forklift operator places the front feet of the bin inside the edge of the steel scrap recycling bin, then drives backwards until the tines clear the pivot point. The tines are then raised to allow the bin to tip forward and empty its contents.
RME also developed a training module to ensure all staff could safely operate the equipment.
Since the implementation of the 'Self Dumping Steel Waste Pallet' no injuries have occurred and RME staff feel the solution has resulted in the ideal safety outcome.
