Wheel chocks and vehicle safety
Wheel chocks are vital for securing vehicles and preventing unwanted movement, which can lead to accidents and cause expensive downtime, shutdowns, and fines. Checkers provides a variety of OSHA and MSHA-compliant wheel chocks that are suitable for different types of vehicles. Its newest addition, MC4011, is the lightest ultra-class chock in the market*. Weighing 27 pounds, it is suitable for safe single person placement and removal while being designed for tire sizes up to 165 inches (419.1 cm) in diameter and capable of securing vehicles weighing up to 1,600,000 lbs (800 tons). Our wheel chocks are engineered with high-quality materials such as tough, weather-resistant HDPE to ensure optimal strength and durability in the toughest environments, maximizing ROI by avoiding costly replacements.
Warning whips
Warning whips play a critical role in promoting workplace safety by increasing visibility and awareness of potential hazards, thereby mitigating risks and ensuring the well-being of workers, protection of assets, efficiency of operations, and compliance with safety standards. Crafted from premium stainless steel and coated fiberglass resin, our whips are built for maximum visibility and strength, making them the toughest in the industry. They are designed to prevent fiber bloom or exposed fiberglass slivers, are corrosion-resistant and require minimal maintenance, withstanding harsh conditions typical to mining sites, including exposure to UV radiation, extreme temperatures, and rough handling. They are also water resistant, protecting electrical components from moisture and debris. This durability ensures long-term reliability and reduces the frequency of replacements, lowering customers’ total cost of ownership. With a vast selection of offerings, customers can choose between lighted and non-lighted options, dual-color options, LED color choices, and vast accessory assortment that allows for customization to meet precise needs and extra visibility in the field.
Cable protection systems
Cable protectors are essential in mining to safeguard cables from damage caused by heavy machinery, preventing electrical hazards and reducing downtime. They improve safety, extend cable lifespan, and ensure the reliable operation of equipment and communication systems on-site. Checkers offers a wide range of cable protectors, including extreme heavy-duty models Extreme crossover systems with durable urethane construction are also available, and withstand thousands of pounds of weight while enduring constant pounding, impact, and abrasion caused by haul trucks and falling rocks. They can be fastened together for any length required, and their use greatly improves safety and eliminates the cost and labor of burying, rerouting or stringing cables overhead. For lighter duty needs, Checkers also offers suitable models, customizable to fit specific jobsite requirements.
Ground protection mats, such as the AlturnaMAT, provide a stable surface to navigate rough, uneven terrain without causing damage to the ground and getting vehicles and equipment stuck, which can cause unnecessary downtime on the jobsite. These mats evenly distribute weight, preventing soil compaction, erosion, and environmental degradation, ensuring safe, efficient operations while minimizing the impact on sensitive ecosystems and project sites.
