K I T TAL K Man Enough...? Deeper Savings
Bond Demolition’s Dean Williams says it is not unusual for an excavator to switch attachments ten or more times during the day. On the face of it, this equates to a potential saving of more than three man hours each day.
But Williams says the savings run much deeper than that. “The OilQuick system allows one operator to do in seconds what used to take an operator and a fitter 20 minutes. But that is only half the story,” Williams asserts. “The truth is that operators would actually only switch attachments if it wasn’t cold, raining or snowing. And even then they had to be in the right mood. As a result, they often attempted to ‘make do’ with an inappropriate attachment, potentially causing lasting damage to the attachment and even the carrier.” Both Wells and Williams cite the environmental advantages of the OilQuick system as another key benefit, particularly among Bond Demolition’s greener customers. “Even if we were quick to react to a hydraulic hose failure on a Komatsu PC240 excavator, there was always the danger that such an event could spill a gallon or more of oil onto the ground, contaminating the site,” Dean Williams says. “But the OilQuick system has virtually eliminated catastrophic hose failures. That goes down very well during the pre- qualification process, particularly among clients keen to safeguard their own green credentials.”
It is more than four years since Bond Demolition took delivery of its first OilQuick coupler from ECY Haulmark. In that time, the company’s couplers have clocked up thousands of hours and thousands of attachment changes. So has the system proven its ability to cope with a demolition environment?
“They just don’t go wrong. We have experienced no mechanical failures in all the time we have been using the OilQuick system. In fact, the only downtime we have ever
