TRS BoomSafe and SteelWrist introduce automated attachment changes for crushing plants
Total Rockbreaking Solutions (TRS) with its BoomSafe technology has announced what it says is a groundbreaking solution for attachment changeovers in crushing plants that minimises downtime, increases safety and maximises productivity for mining operators.
TRS BoomSafe boom control system has been programmed to work with the SteelWrist fully automatic quick couplers; allowing for fully automatic attachment changes and eliminating the need for manual intervention.
BoomSafe is a purpose-built boom control system that offers remote operation, automated movements and advanced collision prevention.
Time is a critical factor in any crushing plant, where delays can significantly impact production. Equipment disruptions, such as the need to service a hammer or change its tool, are inevitable. However, with advanced systems like BoomSafe paired with Steelwrist’s automatic hydraulic connection, attachment switching is now faster and safer, eliminating the need for manual intervention, says TRS.

Operators can now keep crushing plants running seamlessly with BoomSafe’s automated attachment changeover feature. At the press of a button, BoomSafe automatically connects, disconnects and switches between attachments such as hammers, without any manual effort from the operator.
The BoomSafe system is designed to work in perfect synchronisation with Steelwrist quick couplers, which comply with the Open-S industry standard for fully automatic quick couplers. This integration ensures a fully automated attachment change, preventing the need for manual steps like disconnecting hydraulic hoses, unlocking pins, or bleeding the system. The result is faster, safer transitions between attachments, minimising leakages and pressure drops.
TRS says the benefits of BoomSafe and Steelwrist integration include:
- automated switching: attachments can be changed quickly, keeping production running smoothly.
- increased safety: eliminates the need for manual intervention, reducing the risk of injury.
- improved efficiency: no need to manually close valves or purge for trapped gases, saving valuable time.
