Scott Safety, a supplier of gas detection, personal and respiratory protective equipment, has developed the Scott Safety Modulair Max high capacity airline trolley system.
The trolley system enables a safe system for supplying air for those working on offshore oil rigs or onshore refinery environments where the need for long duration respiratory protection exists.
Dave Jackson, Scott Safety’s regional sales director, Middle East commented, “Scott Safety plays a critical role in the lives of our customers and we take that responsibility very seriously. Many of our customers in the Middle East region are operating in high-risk industries where the ability to breathe safely is crucial. We designed the Modulair Max high capacity airline trolley system in response to growing customer demand for portable and robust long duration respiratory protection.
“As part of our ongoing commitment to keeping workers safe in the Middle East we recently opened a new training, servicing and assembly facility in Abu Dhabi, giving local customers accelerated lead times and product delivery and a dedicated resource for demonstrations and product training”.
The Modulair Max is a high capacity airline trolley system that provides air for up to 4 simultaneous users and is approved to supply air with lengths of airline hose up to 105 metres. Built to be compatible with 2 x 45 litre cylinders giving 24,500 litres of air or 2 x 50 litre cylinders giving 27,000 litres of air, the system is capable of supplying in excess of 10 man hours of breathing air. Options include an AFU for filtering an external air supply, a DS4 electronic low air alarm to signal if that external air supply is failing and forklift brackets to enable easy loading of the unit.
Confined spaces are one of the most prevalent dangers in industry, with a number of contributing factors such as a lack of oxygen, poisonous gas, fume or vapour build up and liquids and solids that can suddenly fill the space or release gases. The Modulair Max trolley system provides a portable compressed air supply system for the users of airline breathing apparatus and is ideal for when working in restricted access areas.
The oil and gas industry is one of the most safety critical industries in the world. One of the key areas of responsibility for employees in this sector is in respiratory protection. A small leak of gas can damage health, large leaks can be fatal and low oxygen levels in confined spaces can quickly lead to unconsciousness and death. Selecting the right respiratory protection equipment is vital and ensuring that employees can work safely for extended periods of time is just as important.
The Modulair Max trolley system utilises the same robust and proven technology as Scott Safety SCBAs. It is also compatible with hose, cylinder, face mask and breathing apparatus sets purchased separately from Scott Safety.
The Modulair Max high capacity airline trolley system is part of a wide range of Scott Safety trolleys, offering innovative protection solutions for a variety of industries. Also in the range is the Modulair, the smaller, compact version of the Modulair Max.
