Chepstow Plant has bought 10 B30E and four B40E ADTs.
Over the years, Chepstow has helped out with Bell鈥檚 research & development work, particularly with Safe-Tip software. By cross-referencing a vehicle鈥檚 angle using an integral inclinometer, Bell Equipment鈥檚 Safe-Tip software performs in collaboration with the on-board weighing system.聽 A pitch-and-roll sensor then sets appropriate limits for safe bin-tip activation.
鈥淚t鈥檚 been beneficial for us to contribute towards critical research and development that heightens the tipping safety of plant machinery,鈥� said Chepstow Plant managing director John Corcoran. 鈥淏eing part of the process has given us insight, as well as the confidence to return to Bell for this latest phase of machines.鈥�
He added: 鈥淲e consider Bell Equipment a great safety partner within the industry. The company has invested heavily in research to develop systems that prevent its ADTs from performing unsafe or overloaded tips, and the technology to make its machines real contenders in the increasingly digital, working quarry environment. The partnership has served us well, and we hope it continues for years to come.鈥�
