A WAVE OF NEVER STOPPED!

WITH 40 YEARS’ EXPERIENCE SUPPLYING MACHINE PRODUCTIVITY AND SAFETY SYSTEMS FOR CONSTRUCTION, AND A HERITAGE OF TRUST AND EXCELLENCE, PROLEC HAS SET THE BENCHMARK FOR COMPLIANT, SMART SAFETY ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS.

When people want an excavator or plant safety system, they often ask for “a Prolec” – much like how people ask for “a Hoover” when they go shopping for a new vacuum cleaner.

This is why if you install systems on excavators or other plant equipment and you would like an easy way to potentially earn thousands of pounds worth of business this will be the most important message you ever read.

Here’s the deal: We would like to offer you the opportunity to become an approved distributor of our fully Network-RailApproved safety systems. However, this is a big decision, and the onus is on us to prove to you why it’s a good move.

Prolec PME is built around three principles, giving the machine the right level of compliance for the site, being easy to fit, and not getting in the operator’s way at any time, whether it’s in use or not.

Compliance: If there are overhead wires on the site, there is a Prolec for the job; if the machine is doing lifting operations, there is a Prolec for that job too; if the site is beside a busy road, there is a Prolec for that. Or, all three at once. Working on HS2, on Network Rail land? Yes, Prolec has the right level of compliance, having Product Approval and a data logger fitted as standard to

Easy to fit: Everything is shipped in the box and included in the price, including all the cables and fittings, system diagrams, installation and calibration guides. We offer a full training programme and premium customer support to our distributors.

You don’t know it’s there: Prolec proportional valves let the operator work right up to hazardous areas without premature intervention. And, when not in use, the machine can still be used even if the Prolec has been mechanically damaged.

As a distributor, we can offer you the chance to make your margin on equipment sales, provide local support and own the relationship with the end customer.

WORKING ON RAIL?

Europe’s railways are amongst the safest in the world and we at Prolec have an uncompromising approach to safety. Working closely with the European Railway Agency to develop common approaches to safety in order to maintain high standards and harmonise safety requirements. Prolec have the right safety system to suit your needs.

Delivering intuitive hazard mitigation for your on-track and off-track operations. PME Rail combines RCL (Rated Capacity Limiter), height and slew technology to protect your operators, assets and the passing public.

Safeguarding Rail Operations with Movement

Limiting Devices: Prolec were approached by Rail Freight Services (a major material handling logistics company) to customise and deliver a “virtual wall” movement limiting solution for the UK’s first Terex Fuchs RHL 360F material handlers. Machines now in active service providing productive and safe work near to open railway lines and under high-voltage cables, unloading material for UK HS2 at a Tarmac site – taking the correct steps to work ‘simply safer’.

The Future Of Construction Lies In Automation

We’re doing everything we can to leverage its power to build a simpler, safer construction ecosystem. We’re exploring a range of concepts, from integrating GPS into our systems to leveraging augmented reality technology to enable operators to better identify hazards and machines and respond to them more quickly.

Research and development are vital because safety and productivity are linked. It’s like walking along a tightrope – you’d have the confidence to move a lot faster if there was a safety net underneath. Therefore, in a market under pressure to respond to environmental targets, innovations in safety technologies are the key to a futureproof construction services business.

Finally, when you choose a Prolec Safety System, you really are in a safe pair of hands. This is something we can say with confidence having developed construction safety systems for over 40 years that have protected thousands upon thousands of excavators and plant machines. So whether you’re looking for anything from a simple height limiter to a comprehensive all-in-one system, you can trust us to deliver an effective, reliable safety system to meet your needs.

If you lease your machines, they reduce the likelihood of one or more of your machines being taken out of commission by an accident. Plus, the productivity gains and ability to access major construction projects represent an attractive value proposition for potential customers.

If you own your machines, you’ll enjoy all the above and your profits will be protected by mitigating the risk of costly collisions and other incidents.

You might also be interested to learn that every single one of our systems is easy to install “out of the box” so you won’t be kept waiting for weeks and weeks before you can use your machines. And, as we manufacture our equipment we’re immune to many of the supply chain challenges facing the construction industry right now. Therefore, you can order from us knowing you’ll get your safety systems in a timely manner in all but exceptional circumstances.

All our systems use powerful technology to maximise the productivity of your machines by allowing your operators to work efficiently around hazards. In other words, they’ll be able to do the same work in less time because your operators won’t have to worry about triggering an emergency stop and slamming to a halt. We call this a “fully proportional” control system and, in addition to making your machines more efficient, its far more sympathetic because it results in less wear and tear.

IT’S NOT JUST SAFETY…

One of the simplest ways to reduce the cost of an earthmoving, dredging, or marine construction project is to get everything right first time.

All that said, if you recognise any of these problems, then we want you to know they’re not your fault.

Because, without the right equipment, getting cut and fill projects right the very first time is all but impossible because your operator has to rely on feel to remove or replace the right amount of earth. Experienced operators can do this, but even the best operator will make mistakes, and every mistake comes with burdensome costs you’d rather do without.

That’s why we’ve created a range of excavator guidance systems.

Yet despite this being common knowledge, how many times have you had to arrange repeated surveys and grade checking then wait as your operators complete reworks? These have an up-front cost that eats into your margins and an enormous opportunity cost that could seriously disrupt your cashflow (if your machines are stuck on one site, you can’t deploy them to the next project).

For starters, the combination of a highly accurate display and powerful GPS integration gives operators the information they need to move at pace without compromising the accuracy of their work. This means, with a Prolec Guidance System on board, projects get completed in a fraction of the time.

But that’s not all – our systems will even help you get paid faster too.

Here’s how: Prolec Guidance Systems, very different to the PME, log of all work completed in forensic detail. All you need to do is download the log (the data compatible with multiple file formats for ease of conversion and export) and present it as evidence to your client to secure prompt payment for a job well done.

Primarily, our guidance systems are used to dredge sea and river beds, but they can also be used to assist in the building of breakwaters and rock armour above and below the waterline. Here, the features of our systems combine to allow operators to capitalise on low-tide conditions to increase the speed and precision of marine construction projects and, of course, give you the evidence you need to get paid on time via the detailed and easy to download data log.

And if you’re not involved in marine construction or dredging? We’ve got a guidance system that’s purpose-built to deliver the same remarkable gains in productivity and cost reduction on civils projects and more.

We’ll seamlessly integrate our systems with yours to give you access to the very best safety and productivity information. Our technologies have applications in all manner of plant equipment, and they could be the winning edge you need to deliver a truly revolutionary product to the market.
