Access Innovations - Access Systems for Graders and Dozers

Access Innovations developed and manufactures the revolutionary, new, safe and convenient access systems for graders and dozers providing the ultimate in safety and maximizing operational productivity.

GRADER ACCESS SYSTEM

The Access Innovations grader access system is revolutionary in grader-access, designed primarily to advance staff safety and increase machine productivity.

The operators are now provided with complete walk-around access to all parts of the grader, enabling pre-start checks, window cleaning, servicing and refuelling a simple, safe, time-efficient task. This then achieves the ultimate in safety and provides for maximum productivity.

To achieve all of this, the Access Innovations grader system has these built-in quality features:

• Continuous hand-railing in all articulation and tandem drive positions
• Anti-slip stairs and platforms
• Rear mudguard protection for windows and other haul-road vehicles and mud-guards increase haul-road travelling speeds in wet conditions.
• Restricts none of the grader's functions
• System is interlocked with the park brake circuit
• Park-brake on - system platform and stairs lower for access
• Park-brake off - system platform and stairs raised for grader operations
• System returns operational savings of $40,000 per annum

DOZER ACCESS SYSTEM

By using the Access Innovations dozer access system the machine is enhanced by anti-slip stairs and a level platform featuring rubber mounted hand rails while pre-start checks on the engine oil and radiator can be carried out safely from the anti-slip platform.

Once the operator has climbed from ground-level to the cab using the system, the operator simply releases the park brake and the access system folds, stores automatically, enabling him to commence work. Vision to both the back and side of the blade is then as on a standard machine. Rubber mountings on both the main support mountings and the handrails eliminate any vibration.

HYDRAULICALLY OPERATED ACCESS SYSTEMS

The complete system is hydraulically operated and is actuated and interlocked with the park brake circuit. Park brake on for lowering, and park brake off for raising.

The system features an emergency stop button, one mounted in the cab and the other on the lower step section. This allows the system to be stopped at any time during its operation. Throughout both the raising and lowering phases the reversing alarm beeps.

From ground level to cabin all the step interval heights are equal. The steps and platform are serrated anti-slip grating. The steps also feature anti-slip nosings which are a must for wet weather and night time conditions. At the top of the access system there is a locking mechanism which keeps the system locked firmly during normal operating practices.
