  2. Taking care of tooling on exploration sites What you should know

  3. What’s wrong with modified tooling? Failure of modified tooling that is under pressure can result in serious accidents

  4. Quote from Ridgid (OEM) • “Do not use in conjunction with a power drive, threading machine or any mechanical/hydraulic device to make or break fittings – Use of a power drive, threading machine/hydraulic devices to apply force to the handle of a pipe wrench can result in wrench failure and/or serious personal injury. • Do not modify or alter a pipe wrench – Modifying a pipe wrench may result in wrench failure and serious injury.” www.ridgid.com/ASSETS/49413608655C412F8E7E3BD491795998/ProperUseOfPipeWrenches.pdf

  5. Designed and tested tools are available

  6. OEM tool – Is this tool fit for purpose?

  7. How many drill rods can these trestles support safely? 150m? 300m? 500m?

  8. Manufacturer’s plate in clear view What’s missing? Plate clearly shows capacity and trestle tare weight

  9. What about support stands? Clearly labelled? How would you know they are designed to support the 45T?

  10. May these be used? Need to be inspected and tested before putting into service

  11. What is this hoist designed to lift?

  12. It’s yellow so we’re good – right?

  13. Lifting with tie-down chains – is it OK?

  14. Fantastic innovation – what weight can it support?
