Atabec Safety Lock is an engineered, permanently mounted sheave lock that engages with the crank arm on all sizes of pumpjacks. It is operated by a simple hydraulic handpump by personnel from outside the swing area to avoid risk of struck-by incidents caused by the counterweights.
The patented (Can/US) Atabec Safety Lock isolates and prevents movement of the crank arms and allows the pumpjack weights to be locked in a variety of positions to quickly facilitate inspection, service rig work, as well as counterweight and stroke length adjustment. It saves time & eliminates cost of third-party cranes/pickers, while improving safety at the well site.
Atabec Safety Lock is engineered with a 3:1 safety factor with a simple, yet robust design that employs a common locking assembly, with custom mounting hardware, to accommodate all pumpjack sizes and manufacturers. A simple hydraulic pump engages and disengages the sheave lock from outside the danger area. With the hydraulic fork engaged, there is zero crank movement even with NO BRAKE and FULL POWER applied to the unit. A 100% non-toxic and environmentally friendly fluid is utilized in our closed loop system.
Install is simple with a custom fit mounting plate that is adapted to all makes and models & utilizes existing hardware to minimize installation time.
How does the Atabec Safety Lock deliver value versus traditional lockout methods?
The Atabec Safety Lock is an affordable and novel approach with several elements that differentiate it from traditional practices:
-Eliminates the need to enter the swing area
-Achieves safe effective LOTO in a fraction of the time versus traditional methods
-The Atabec is an engineered solution with a 3:1 safety factor
-Counterweights can easily be locked in any position without incurring additional 3rd party expense
-Eliminates the potential for cracked sheaves from over torqued chains
-Permanently mounted on customer mounting hardware
-Easy Installation - No cutting, grinding, welding or drilling required onsite
-Reduces environmental footprint by reducing need for heavy equipment and traffic at the well site
Installing the Atabec Safety Lock will reduce risk of injury, translating to lower incident rates, reduced liability exposure and decreased insurance costs.
