Edbro Puts Safety First

Setting Industry standards is not only synonymous with Edbro for the innovative, high performance products designed and manufactured in their UK premises, but with the levels of safety guaranteed with each Edbro product. The global market leader in hydraulic dumping systems and waste handling solutions recognizes the vital importance of a reliable and safe product to minimize the risk of accident and injury.

Each cylinder on the production line is tested in-house to above and beyond regular operating conditions to ensure optimum performance when the product is pushed to the limits of safe practice. In addition, Edbro offers expert advice to ensure the ultimate safety in the field.

The Edbro Service Agent Day, held last month at their factory, was an opportunity for Edbro to emphasize first hand the importance of regular maintenance to minimze the possible risks which occur in everyday operation. With this constant support and training behind them, Edbro agents are expertly equipped to offer comprehensive advice to optimize the safety of those in contact with this equipment.

The unique design of the Edbro product has been developed by a team of expert engineers to not only optimize payload capacity with a renowned lightweight construction and increase productivity with fast operating times but also to face the challenges of the toughest and often dangerous operating conditions in the industry today.

However hard wearing the cylinder design, it can never compensate for poor maintenance of the bushes and hinges, which can result in dangerous accidents. Some accidents of this nature have resulted in serious injury and even death of the vehicle operator or bystanders to the incident.

As a leading global supplier into this industry, Edbro is striving to reduce such tragic incidents and take some responsibility for offering the best advice and support to prevent them from occurring. With regular equipment servicing and repair when needed, the risk of damage and injury can be significantly reduced. An Edbro cylinder not only comes complete with the fit and forget reputation for a profit-increasing product but also the peace of mind of a determined commitment to maximizing industry safety.
