At Trimax, safety isn’t just a mere checkbox item; it’s deeply embedded in our core values and influences every facet of our operations.
“From the design and development of our machines to the testing and manufacturing processes, safety is always at the forefront of our minds. We believe that by prioritizing safety, we can not only protect operators but also enhance their productivity and efficiency.” Caroline Shaw, Global Brand Manager at Trimax.
Here we delve behind the scenes, offering a glimpse into the rigorous safety testing protocols that every Trimax machine undergoes before it hits the market!
Thrown Object Testing
When cutting grass, mowers can come into contact with foreign objects like stones, sticks, and golf balls. When mowers come into contact with them, there is a danger that the struck object may be thrown and cause injury to the operator or any bystanders.
The thrown object test looks at how and where objects are dispersed. During this test, the machine is surrounded by specified targets and will run over sand and stones. To pass the test, no object can be thrown to the side or in the operator area, and only low impacts in the discharge area are acceptable.
Blade Impact Testing
While our Trimax blades boast exceptional durability, we leave nothing to chance. In the event of blade breakage, it’s imperative that safety remains uncompromised.
During testing, the mower is surrounded by targets. While the blades are moving, the mower is lowered onto a high-tensile steel bar.
To pass the blade impact test, there must be no loss of any part of the mower, and the targets must not be punctured by blades or any other part of the mower weighing more than 1.05 ounces.
The purpose of this test is to ensure that if any part of the cutting system fails or comes into contact with anything that could cause damage, there is no hazard to the operator or anyone nearby.
Designing and Testing for Finger and Limb Safety
Another important test is foot access. During testing, we probe the cutting chamber with a dummy foot to evaluate the level of access around the machine, this ensures maximum protection for both the operator and any bystanders.
