“We used at least 30% less lubricant than with our old system, simply because we were supplied seals which correctly fitted our rope. Our old equipment only had seals in 5mm size increments which meant we sometimes had a 2mm gap each side of the rope.”
“The system will quickly pay for itself simply due to the amount of lubricant we no longer waste.”
“Being able to control the discharge from the pressure collar, and then visually see the water in the discharge bucket confirms that we are removing contaminants from the rope, rather than pushing it deeper into the strands.”
“If I had not seen it with my own eyes I would not have believed it. The first time we used the KIRKPATRICK System, I saw air bubbles being forced out of our rope ahead of the pressure collar. Just confirms that the opposition equipment (we had been using) was not forcing the lubricant all the way into our rope.”
“We work at heights with the KIRPATRICK System, and the weight reduction of the pressure collar compared to what we had used previously, is really appreciated by our staff. Significant manual handling risks have been reduced.”
“The system we had used previously required large rubber seals to be snapped onto the rope. This presented a risk to operator’s fingers. The design of the KIRKPATRICK system removes this potential injury risk.”
