Just in case you don’t know if your remote control for the winch goes flat. Then you can connect it to a phone charger battery pack and you can still use it while it is charging.
Thanks, I found that out once because we needed the remote and I just thought lets see if this works.. It wasnt really empty yet, it just seemed that the range was getting less. The moment it was on the powerbank we had full range again.
Not currently in our budget, if a job calls for it, I'm sure it'll be invested in and billed to the customer. So far, we're working around or under 450ft, but on avg 150ft, something, nothing we can't climb.
@@FalenAnjel2 150ft would take you about 2 minutes with an actsafe. There is a lot of time to gain there. I have done jobs on facades, only 60-80ft in Actsafes. The fact you drive up and down easily with the strips and rails we were installing is such a timesaver. And what about rescue's? Hauling someone in a z-rig type deal takes ages. Still, I know it is a lot of money. But in about 50-100 days it is paid for by clients, after that its making you money. Or wait for that one big job ;-)
@@TheRopeAccessChannel Well it's the boss mans money, when he decides it is time we'll get a new toy to paly with. I can see the rescue and time saving factors for sure.👍
@@TheRopeAccessChannel I get you, that being said combustible dusts aren't always fine; saw confined space, grain and ropes (friction); all makes for squeaky bum time and brown overalls
In the US you are required to monitor the air before you enter a permit required confined space. I wonder why I did not see any monitoring equipment to check for oxygen, explosive atmosphere?
Good call. I considered it covered when I said we got our permit and LOTOTO. One of those things that is just so "normal" in those jobs that I neglected to mention it. In these places I find the LOTOTO procedures more of a hazard. That is why I mentioned that part. Anyway, the tank had been aired and open for 24 hours, O2 was good and we wore a personal monitor when entering as well. This is not considered an EX zone. Otherwise we wouldnt have been able to use a powered winch.👍🏻
@@TheRopeAccessChannel you do such a great job on all your other videos. FYI I am considered the subject matter expert on confined space safety in the US where the majority of confined space fatalities are due to hazardous atmosphere. OSHA in US requires the attendant on top has to have the meter with a long hose as the minimum. If you want to wear a personal meter that is OK but only as secondary. Cheers. J
@@TheRopeAccessChannel I work as a geologist and manage our regional health and safety operations as well in the USA. It's super interesting to see how different countries have different standards, and yet the work is generally safe in a similar manner from one developed country to the next.
@@techcores Yeah the differences can be interesting, even in developed coutnries, Ranging from "do what ever you want" to "we cover everything all the time regardless of real risk on a given jobsite" to "risk assess the job and take necessary precautions" (basically the same as the first one, just with everything written out and justified on paper 😉).
Interesting conversation on this video. Just tonight I was thinking about the psychology of "safety". I often wonder how far is too far... In the sence of removing our mental presence from the job and replacing it with compliance driven paper trail. Interesting forum here in the comments section. I like the point that there are lots of ways of accomplishing a dangerous task safely. And we might take very different approaches! Of course, like has already been said, it ends up coming down to whatever you are required to do by law where you live, as a minimum. While I am here, Any good reads on the psychology of safety? Love to learn more. Awesome Videos. This high rigging work has me on the edge of my seat.
I don't do it that often and try to consider it as a workout day ;-) Except for jugging it out... i like the 21st century where we can think about rescues and use powered winches. That is, if there are no EX considerations, otherwise.... Jugging it out it is..
Thanks😃👍🏼. No it’s not the ronin. From what I heard that is not a very good device and eats more rope than this device. Especially if you compare it to this Skylotec Actsafe. That is an awesome device.
Easy question, difficult answer for me. Define a lot? What is that? I do it a couple of times per year. But some companies do it often or almost all the time.

Do you use Actsafe winches like this?

Any ATEX/COMPEX considerations? Imagine grain silos are dusty as heck
None on this factory and on this job. This is not very fine dust.

@@pnxelectrical I know, I went of company policies and information on the products. They said it was not an explosive atmosphere

I do this day in day out, confined space silo cleans, your arms soon feel it. But we jug out 😉

As always good video! Is the x-safe you are using made by “Ronin”? How do you like it? The Ronin we use in the states have given me major troubles.
Thanks😃👍🏼.

Is there a lot of internal silo cleaning work in the Netherlands (Europe) ?
Easy question, difficult answer for me. Define a lot? What is that?

@@TheRopeAccessChannel I work at the Arcelormittal factory here in Brazil and I do this silo cleaning work a lot.
@@lipenaval1 Good work 🤗👍👍
Sir i have IRATA level1 certificate any vacancys
None. Good luck
CSE can be very dirty and closterphobic (not always but a lot of the times in commercial/ Industrial)
Personally i am not a fan of that dirty part.....
