ntroducing our BAABS 2XL! BAABS 2XL has all the same benefits as the original BAABS, plus giving operators extended reach with their blast nozzles. Blasting overhead is troublesome, and it typically requires an elevated platform or scaffolding to allow an operator to reach these high surfaces. The BAABS 2XL provides 30” of additional reach or extension beyond a conventional setup. This extension allows operators to stay on the ground to blast overhead and not require scaffolding or some other work platform. This saves money in setup/take down material and labor. In addition, the extended reach enables the operator to blast a much larger surface area from before moving to the next spot. Staying on the ground and less movement should contribute to safer working conditions.

News from the other side of the Atlantic reports a $5.4 million compensation settlement following a collision involving a concrete mixer and a line of cars, allegedly caused by poor brake maintenance. In the UK, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) best practice guidance on heavy brake test performance mentions that concrete mixers may be allowed unladen brake tests due to restrictions caused by the cargo they usually carry.  However, the guidance further informs, "Our recommendation is always: if you can load it, then do so! Section 4.4 of the DVSA Concrete Operational Standards requires meaningful brake tests regarding mixers. Where possible, a vehicle should be laden for brake tests.  Evidence of what percentage of brake tests are conducted laden, if not all, should be supplied. If this is not an option, a written explanation as to why this cannot be undertaken should be provided. While concrete mixers sit within the category of perishable liquids/goods vulnerable to contamination, many operators replicate the weight using aggregates if they have access. Others use the exemption because it's open to interpretation, although the interpretation could work both ways as the guidance is only best practice. Recently, the focus has been on the additional manufacturer maintenance on the mixer unit, which also impacts road safety, as highlighted last year in the HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd drum detachment incident. It's worth remembering that maintenance is a fundamental undertaking of an operator's licence, not best practice.
