Gilbert Gray & Co - Oldham Miners Cap-Lamps and Charging Equipment

Gilbert Gray & Co is the leading supplier of miners caplamps and caplamp charging equipment in Australia, PNG, Fiji and New Zealand. The company is an Australian-owned company and has been working in the mining business for over 55 years.

Miners caplamps, belts and battery pouches

Oldham Caplamps are available in a wide range of models, from the well proven GT lead acid / halogen bulb range through to the lightweight, high performance DL16 Lilon / LED Caplamp.

All Oldham Caplamps are certified for coal mine use to required IECEx and ANZEx standards. Gilbert Gray & Co also supplies a comprehensive range of GILGRAY miners belts and Caplamp battery pouches.

High performance caplamps

Oldham high performance DL16 Caplamps have a range of features:

The DL16 caplamp requires very little maintenance and therefore has a low cost of ownership. It is adaptable to existing GILGRAY / Oldham three-stage charging systems.

• Lightweight 16AH LiIon battery
• Genuine continuous 3W LED performance
• Unique dual focussing reflector provides a spot of 10,000 cd over 4.5 and peripheral lighting up 120
• Very low maintenance and low cost of ownership
• Adaptability of existing GILGRAY / Oldham three stage charging systems

Oldham GT Megalight caplamps

The Oldham GT Megalight Caplamp range remains popular with miners and contractors throughout Australia and the Pacific. It is a strong and reliable caplamp which features:

• G-type headpiece with 4W halogen bulb – the standard by which all caplamps are judged
• T Megalight 16AH battery in either (T5) low maintenance or (T6) no maintenance models

Cap light batteries and headpieces

Batteries and headpieces across the Oldham range are fully compatible and interchangeable. This allows an economic phasing in of new LiIon and LED technologies to existing Oldham caplamp equipment.

Tracking, tagging and collision avoidance systems

Gilbert Gray and Co has worked with a number of prominent communications companies, operating in Australia, to adapt and accommodate tracking, tagging and collision avoidance systems to Oldham caplamps.

This gives mine owners the opportunity to upgrade existing Oldham caplamp installations to modern communication systems without need of replacing caplamps and charging racks. It also provides the opportunity for new and expanding mines to enjoy the benefits of Oldham caplamps, and greater flexibility in choosing a communications system to suit their individual requirements.

Caplamp charging equipment for lamp rooms

GILGRAY charging equipment, installed in almost every lamp room in Australia, is reliable, durable and provides many options.

In sizes ranging from single lamp capacity up to 102 lamps for large mine installations, charging equipment can include self rescuer storage below each lamp position, and each charging point carries dual programs and can be set individually to charge L16 Type, LiIon battery or T Megalight lead acid batteries.

Miners belts and pouches

The GILGRAY range of miners belts, battery and self rescuer pouches has been designed to be practical, durable and comfortable to wear.

Seams are both stitched and riveted for extra strength, and double riveted in high stress areas.

Battery pouches include additional attachments to allow tradesmen to carry screwdrivers and pliers.
