Our other products include the revolutionary SAFER G rotrary rig guarding system. Designed to not only increase safety but also on-site efficiency, the sensor-base guarding technology removes the need for large, clunky and laborious steel guarding cages meaning easier and quicker access to the drill string. The system uses state of the art sensor technologies to detect persons encroaching within pre-defined safe-guarded zone/s. Once a detection is made, the system generates a signal to switch off rotation to prevent any potential entanglement.
