Manchester Ship Canal Company have chosen GKD’s 2RCi as their preferred Safe Load Indicator for use on their new Liebherr 954. The machine is primarly used for unloading of ships and some lifting duties. It is for these additional lifting duties that the SLI has been purchased.

Manchester Ship Canal are responsible for the 36 mile long seaway from the Mersey to the Heart of Manchester. It moves some 8 Million tones of cargo a year for a number of Blue chip Companies.

The Office of Public Works in Ireland has Selected GKD’s 2RCi for installation on their latest batch of machines. This marks a major shift for the OPW who have previously used a generic market RCI.

However the OPW were impressed with the ease of use of the GKD system and furthermore an ability for them to be able to service the system effectively in the field.

Given the nature of their work and the importance of safety to them as a public body it was imperative that they had a system where they were able to provide the firt line of service themselves. Working their machines in often remote and rural parts of Ireland service access is sometimes limited. However to overcome this GKD have trained a select number of their own Engineers in the service of our RCi systems allowing them flexibility when service is required. Allied to this training the OPW are now in a position to certify their own machines.

Given the nature of the works GKD also have developed a sensor that is more durable and rugged so as to eliminate any breakdowns which might come about because of sensor failure or damage.
