The ChipSafe Operator Safety Shield is now an option on its Beever chippers.
The new safety feature is available on its 12 to 18 inch brush chippers. It consists of plates mounted onto the side of the chippers in-feed chute that are used with special operator gloves and ankle straps with sensors. The ChipSafe system stops the chippers feeding mechanism if the operator’s hands or feet enter the sensing zone in the chute. The feeding mechanism can quickly be started again by swiping the operators ChipSafe glove or wrist strap across a reset box found on the outer side of the in-feed chute.
The models that can have the system fitted are the Morbark Beever M12D, M12R, M15RX, M15R, M18RX and M18R chippers. Field kits will be available to retrofit models already in use. In an effort to further improve chipper safety, all of Morbark’s authorised dealers will have specialised training on chipper safety. This will enable them to educate and train their customers on the best practices to increase safety. Source: www.morbark.com
