One of the biggest risks for operators working on coal stockpiles is dozers falling into hidden voids. When this happens, the dozer may become engulfed by the pile, making it critical to halt the feeder quickly. Relying on standard radios isn’t enough, as signals might not pass through the coal.
The BWI Eagle Dozer Stop Switch provides an essential fail-safe. This wireless system allows operators to stop the feeder and alert emergency responders with one button press. With a robust 4,500-foot range and built-in fail-safes—such as an automatic stop if the connection is lost—the system ensures continuous communication even in emergencies. The design prioritizes operator safety, automatically engaging if communication breaks down.
The switch can monitor multiple dozers at once, offering a reliable connection even through interference. Its advanced technology guarantees that operators can act confidently during critical moments, trusting that help is just a button press away.
