still there

I'm a little bit wary of buying something that dear off eBay, and I haven't had a chance to go down there in person yet, but thanks for the tip off.

I will make suitable enquiries as to what is what as this is turning into a case of "You say,I say".

 

All I know is that JoBeau and GreenMech had all the rules and regs before them before we each made them. The HSE have been involved with GreenMech when we first bought in the GMR100 and there was a design change to satisfy all bodies before we sold the first one.

 

Dillsue, I would appreciate knowing who you are and your role in life as you appear to be quite knowledgable. Are we to be party to that information?

I've worked as a freelance engineer for quite a few years designing material handling systems and the safety and CE compliance aspects of systems and projects are all part and parcel of that.

Fair play to that and thanks for the response.

 

I've asked the question at GreenMech but at the time both myself and the decision makers were too busy to have anything but the brief "Heads Up".

 

Enquiriys are ongoing - I'll let you know, although it is a veritable nightmare as to who and how all the levels of regs are interpreted. I stand by a previous post saying that we all have our machinery checked out before coming to a decision to build.

The decison makers need to make the time to look into it NOW!!! As the issue has been drawn to their attention, they will be slaughtered in court if they delay/ignore the issue and someone gets hurt due to inadequate guarding! They would be looking at big buck compensation AND big buck fines!!!

 

If they are not happy to accept the document linked to on the HSE web site then they should look at the EN standard for machine guarding and the table of heights that the HSE refer to. This should confirm the requirements. Its worth noting that as machine manuafcturers selling CE marked machinery they should already have a copy of of the guarding standard- if they dont, how can they CE mark the machine to say that it complies with EHSR's?

Hi Hairloon, GreenMech, Jo-Beau and GTS1300 small garvity feeding chipper have same capacity for wood chipping and same style of engineering. but if you consider quality/price ratio, GTS1300 is far much better! i do not suggest you buy such big machines from Ebay, cos you will not have guaranttee. you can contact Scott Lelliott 07766 856250 for free chipper demonstration. see it before you buy it!
