POWER SALVACANE

In urban electrical maintenance, many risks are not visible.



 

 
Moisture, insulation deterioration or vibrations can generate dangerous voltages in underground chambers, inspection pits and metal covers. To improve safety during this type of inspection, we have developed POWER SALVACANE, a portable voltage detector designed to detect dangerous voltages on urban pavements and metal elements without the need to access confined spaces.


Key features:
  • Optical and acoustic detection
  • Range from 24 V to 5 kV
  • 50 / 60 Hz frequency
  • Use with insulating pole
  • Wheel system for pavement inspection
  • Greater safety distance and faster, more efficient inspections

Two ways of working.
Two levels of safety.

TRADITIONAL METHOD VS POWER SALVACANE
 
 
TRADITIONAL METHOD
Detection with direct access

POWER SALVACANE
Safe detection without access


Access to confined spaces 
Risk of exposure to voltage.

Longer inspection time
Slower and less efficient process.

Greater exposure
Reduced safety distance.

No access to confined spaces 
External detection using an insulating pole.

Fast and efficient inspection
Easy movement thanks to the wheel system.

Greater safety
Greater safety distance and reduced risk exposure.

<![CDATA[Designed to work where other tools cannot reach]]>

EBT-106-VOLTCUT

Safe and precise cutting of large cross-section cables
up to Ø106 mm in copper or aluminium.


 

 
What makes the difference:
  • Full control: manual or remote operation (up to 60 m)
  • Maximum safety: suitable up to 35 kV
  • Clean cutting without deformation
  • 180° rotating head for confined spaces
  • Mechanical return: greater reliability, less battery dependence
  • Possibility of earthing the head

<![CDATA[Enhance industrial safety]]>

ECHO GUARD 4
Innovative portable ultrasonic system for detecting obstacles in blind spots.

In Spain, more than 335,000 machines (platforms, forklifts, mobile machinery) are still operating without obstacle warning systems. Most belong to older fleets, where active safety has not always been a priority.


 

 
ECHO GUARD 4 was developed to address this reality.
It acts as a key assistance system during low-speed manoeuvres.

Features:

• Portable system, no permanent installation required
• Ultrasonic obstacle detection (up to 2.5 m)

• Audible alert for the operator (>80 dB)
• Direct 12 V power supply (cigarette lighter or USB)

DT-PROTECT
In demanding environments, every detail matters

That’s why we’ve enhanced DT-PROTECT, the protective holder specifically designed for the D-TUERI personal voltage detector, ensuring an even more secure fixing and improved mechanical protection.

 

 

 
DT-PROTECT
allows the detector to be assembled directly onto the safety helmet, protecting it against impacts, vibrations and accidental knocks, without interfering with its correct operation.

Key benefits:
• Impact-absorbing protective cover
• Design specifically developed for D-TUERI
• Direct assembly on the safety helmet
• High resistance to wear and deformation



Quick and secure installation using industrial 3M™ VHB adhesive

<![CDATA[Technical update]]>

TBE terminals and MAL sleeves
now manufactured according to DIN dimensions


With the aim of making installation work easier and improving crimping efficiency, we have implemented a technical upgrade in our TBE (tinned aluminium terminals) and MAL (aluminium sleeves) product ranges. From now on, both products are manufactured with DIN-standard tube dimensions, which brings significant advantages worldwide.

 



 
 

Advantatges

 
Universal compatibility
By adopting DIN dimensions, our terminals and sleeves can now be crimped using any standard DIN crimping die, commonly used across the world. No special or customised dies are required.  

Faster, simpler and safer crimping
The standardisation improves process repeatability, minimises the risk of incorrect die selection, and speeds up work both in the workshop and on-site.  

Optimised time and resources
Operators can work with widely available, universal dies, reducing set-up time and avoiding tool changes.  

Consistent dimensional philosophy
Both TBE and MAL now follow a unified, internationally recognised standard across the full range.  

Please note that this upgrade does not affect the performance or quality of the product; it simply improves usability, compatibility, and workflow efficiency.
