Move Dumper Drives From Pit to Ground Level…Would This Work for Your Machine?

Richmond Engineering Works is constantly working with clients, across the country, to improve the safety and efficiency of their machines and processes. Often, this includes providing a combination of engineering, fabrication and installation services that provide fully customized turnkey solutions. It also includes looking at old problems with new eyes and offering innovative solutions. For example, we help companies move their dumper drives from the pit, up to ground level. This has provided a long list of benefits for clients and could be the right move for your company and your machinery.



Here are just a few of the advantages that come with moving your dumper drives from the pit to ground level:

Better Working Environment

The pit represents a harsh working environment that can add stress to both maintenance and machinery. Moving the dumper drive up to ground level provides more hospitable surroundings that will help increase the longevity of equipment and help avoid any malfunctions.

Easy Access for Maintenance

Placing the dumper drives on ground level provides safe and easy access. Whether workers need to address an immediate problem or simply need to service the drive for regular maintenance, they can enjoy easy access. This makes it more likely that maintenance issues will actually be addressed on a regular schedule, which will ultimately reduce wear and tear and prolong the life of the equipment.

Improved Worker Safety

Placing dumper drives on ground level means that workers do not have to go into the pit and they can have plenty of room to work and maintain the equipment. Simply moving the dumper drives can drastically improve overall safety.

Less Wear

Traditionally, stationing the dumper drives in the pit has increased the potential for tooth crowding, which is a natural result of the trunnion wheel and dumper rail wearing down over time. By reducing wear, this problem can be avoided and the equipment will continue to operate safely and efficiently.
If you would like to learn whether your dumper drives could be safely and effectively moved to ground level, contact the experts at Richmond Engineering Works.
