The Mining industry is a pressured industry with strict adherence to safety standards and high levels of productivity output. By partnering with Eazi Access, mines can mitigate risks, reduce safety incidences, enhance their safety standards and focus on their core business.
Gerhard Kloppers, Eazi Access Business Development Manager: Mining
Gerhard Kloppers, Eazi Access Business Development Manager: Mining, highlights some advantages of having Eazi Access equipment on your job site, namely versatility and efficiency. Our machines can complete a wide range of tasks quickly and efficiently. For example, while traditional scaffolding may require several days to erect, complete the work, and disassemble, Eazi Access machines can accomplish the same tasks in a fraction of the time, saving valuable resources and accelerate project timelines.
Every mine site has a responsibility to ensure, that they maintain zero to minimal safety incidences. As a result, mines prefer having smaller working teams focused on any particular job on-site. Eazi Access machines, require one or two people inside the machine at a time, depending on the task on hand and the type of machine needed. This product range flexibility makes Eazi Access’s solutions a safer choice, as we are able to support our mine site customers with the right machine for the given task.
Eazi Access caters for the mining industry by providing fit for purpose solutions, to meet the mines unique needs and requirements. Being a specialist in Work-at-Height and Material Handling Solutions offering rental, sales, servicing, and training for the mining industry, has given Eazi Access the opportunity to have worked with and develop a credible track record with most of the mines within South Africa. Maintaining the highest standards of safety for our equipment and operators is the most important focus area of our business and we dedicate staff, time, and resources to participating in and contributing to the institutions that guide our industry.
“In some cases, mines have their own machinery; however, for those that don’t, they have the option to either rent or purchase equipment from Eazi Access,” Kloppers explained. “We also extend our services to contractors operating on mine sites. Our supply chain accommodates the needs of mines directly or through sub-contractors, all of whom are valued customers of Eazi Access. Our offering is further extended to servicing and refurbishing our customers machines.”
One of the guiding institutions for Eazi Access is the IWH (Institute for Work at Height). The MEWP Chamber of the IWH represents member companies as well as individual practitioners/users involved with Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) in South Africa. Furthermore, we belong to The International Powered Access Federation (IPAF), which has several benefits. One of which is safety. IPAF training teaches safe work practices, including how to use platforms, harnesses, and protective equipment, and how to recognize and respond to hazards.
Furthermore, Eazi Access has partnered with trusted OEM’s, such as JLG, Manitou, Dingli and Linde Material Handling to provide safe, reliable, and efficient equipment, and provides the required training through our sister company, Uplift Quality Solutions (UQS) where we offer MEWP training aligned to SETA standards.
“We cater for all our customers, who do not have trained machine operators, to work on site. We have an extensive footprint across the country and a growing presence throughout sub-Saharan Africa. We have the largest, most diverse fleet of equipment, which is backed by an expansive and experienced network of skilled technicians and spare parts and our commitment to providing 24/7 support to our customers in the mining industry,’’ stated Kloppers.
