Fluid Monitoring System

Problem

A heavy truck repair shop had a poorly installed fluid monitoring system.  Connections were made with butt splices and wires were tangled, kinked, and exposed to damage.  The installation was hazardous, unsightly, and difficult to  troubleshoot when a problem arose. 

Solution

Installed a connection box for each fluid panel

Eliminated butt splices and protected all connections inside of the box for easy access

Organized and protected all wires inside spiral wrap

During rewiring process, individual fluid panels were bypassed allowing the customer to continue to dispense oil.  All work was completed with no interruption of customer's normal operations.

Customer Benefit

No installation downtime

Improved system reliability, reduced future downtime risk

Eliminated hazard

Facilitated troubleshooting

Quick Lube Drain Rollers

Problem

Old drain pan rollers at a quick lube business were worn out and missing bearings.  Roller width was not adjustable, axles were bent, and supports were welded in place preventing easy replacement.

Solution

Fabricated new roller brackets off-site

Cut off old rollers, while leaving old welded brackets in place to save time

Bolted in new brackets (instead of welding due to presence of flammable fluids)             

Sealed bolt holes to prevent fluid leakage

Installation performed in all four bays with no interruption to customer's operations

Customer Benefit

No installation downtime

Eliminated failure risk and future downtime

Roller width is adjustable to accommodate varying pit widths
