SafeGauge solutions from Booyco Electronics enhance safety for heavy equipment operators

THE strategic partnership between Booyco Electronics, a leader in proximity detection systems and safety solutions, and SafeGauge offers owners and operators of large mining, construction, forestry, agriculture and earthmoving equipment access to advanced wireless diagnostic tools designed to enhance safety and operational efficiency.

SafeGauge technology is renowned for enabling remote monitoring and testing of critical systems on heavy machinery without exposing workers to the dangerous conditions typically associated with live testing and equipment maintenance.

Louis Venter, area sales manager at Booyco Electronics, says that by allowing artisans to conduct tests and gather real-time data remotely, SafeGauge eliminates the need for workers to be in close proximity (line of fire) to large machines during potentially hazardous procedures.

This innovation significantly reduces the risk of injury, creating a safer work environment across operations.

The SafeGauge range of equipment includes various specialised tools designed for different measurement needs. The PT (Pressure Transducer) Series is used to measure pressures in hydraulic and pneumatic systems, while the DI (Dial Indicator) Series is designed for measuring clearance, tolerance and wear on machine components.

The TM (Tacho Meter) Series measures fan speeds and other rotating components, the LD (Laser Displacement) Series tracks wear on moving parts and the PR (Push Rod) Series is used to measure displacement between two fixed points.

Venter explains that all data collected by these tools can be processed through the Multitool Pro, which allows for real-time generation of reports and graphs.

“With its built-in cloud connectivity, the system makes it easy to export or share data instantly, streamlining operations and improving decision-making efficiency,” he adds.

Through Booyco Electronics’ distribution of SafeGauge in Southern Africa, local operations now have access to this world class safety and efficiency solution, helping companies meet stringent safety standards and drive operational excellence in even the most demanding environments,” Venter concludes.
