Slide Sledge is a tool that has great potential to improve wellbeing and effectiveness in the working environment. This innovative hammer uses a sliding motion that is innovative which provides clients with the ability to sledgehammer away alone on applications that are generally performed by two individuals. The direct movement of Slide Sledge inside its sleeve provides power and accuracy and at the same time it does so without the stress of heavy hammer misses and potentially dangerous blows to the personnel’s hands and fingers and body.
With the force and precision of Slide
Sledge, driving pins and other extreme application become more secure, quicker
and simpler. The multi head hammer design allows the Slide Sledge to fit in
whatever hammer head that is required for the application, providing
unparalleled flexibility. The precise lateral motion allows efficiency in force
since no power is lost through side ways movement and hitting of the metal bar.
Being housed inside the metal case and using axial up and down motion to hammer
increases the accuracy of striking due to the hammer being guided inside the
housing. Compare this with traditional sledgehammering where the hammer is
struck down on the metal bar with less accuracy dependent on the personnel and
it becomes clear why Slide Sledge is the superior solution to carry out these
applications.
The Slide Sledge also features inbuilt
safety features such as the slide lock. Ensure that the lock is in the closed
position before handling the tool because if its not and if a personnel say,
inverts the tool upside down, the heavy hammer can drop out of its housing and
potentially strike the personnel’s foot, causing injury. The lock is there to
prevent this kind of incidents from happening.
There are a variety of different heads
available on the Slide Sledge for all sorts of different application. Pin
drivers for example, are used to drive pins out. The nature of the
interchangeable heads on the Slide Sledge means that you can change out any pin
size to fit your applications on the go. Other applications include chiselling
for chopping away hardened debris, scarifiers and even flogging heads.
For the flogging head, RAAH has encountered
a relevant case study in the past. We were invited to the work site of an international
oil company to test out the Slide Sledge in relation to the flogging flanges
application. The test was for setting up a flange nut torqued up to 170 Nm of
torque. Using the Slide Sledge with flogging head, the nut was able to be
loosened with no problems at all. This is using the Slide Sledge to draw back
only half way, indicating that the Slide Sledge has not even been utilized at
full force.
If in the case of very stubbornly torqued
up nuts, even drawing the Slide Sledge back fully and using its full potential
to drive the nuts out, it still doesn’t work, there is another solution as
well. Slide Sledge also comes with an additional 5 lb weight that can be
attached to the end of the hammer, providing additional force for even the most
difficult nuts.
Slide Sledge hammers are available with
RAAH Safety.
We at RAAH believe that organizations
should build strong safety programs and engage their workers in them. Every
industry needs to take responsibility in encouraging workers to take charge of
their own safety and ensure that they have all required safety tools. RAAH aims
at zero workplace injuries and has all electrical safety tools, handsfree
safety tools, antislip tools, safety tools to prevent slips, falls and trips. Please
do not hesitate to get in touch for your flogging or hammering requirements and
we will be happy to assist.
RAAH Safety urges organizations and
workforce to join hands to promote and salute their workers. Celebrating
the workers who mitigate risks everyday! #RAAHSalutesWorkers
