At mining enterprises, the loading and unloading of rock mass is carried out around the clock. At night, despite stationary lighting in the pits, visibility is reduced during adverse weather conditions, creating a risk of collision with other equipment.
For comfortable and safe operation, mining machines must be equipped with high-quality, modern lighting devices that provide the necessary level of illumination.
The "Red Danger Zone" system is a modern safety solution for lighting during the operation of excavators and loaders. It marks the maximum permissible boundaries for haul trucks and other mining equipment approaching the loading area. Due to the bright illumination of the danger zone boundaries, mining safety is ensured; haul truck drivers and bulldozer operators can see the excavator's dimensions and the safe distance to it at night.
Installing the Red Danger Zone system increases not only operational safety but also the productivity of mining equipment — it reduces the time for parking haul trucks in the loading zone, which increases the speed of rock mass loading and confidence in the safety of maneuvers performed by operators and drivers.
