SAFE Labs offers comprehensive Heavy Equipment Investigation services, specially designed to address fire incidents involving a variety of heavy machinery and vehicles. Each of our fire investigators holds a certification as a Certified Vehicle Fire Investigator and collaborates closely with our team of engineers, who bring specialized knowledge in Electrical and Mechanical disciplines. This multidisciplinary approach helps ensure a thorough and informed investigation process, essential for handling complex equipment fires.
Our capabilities extend beyond on-site investigations. We are fully equipped to manage the entire investigation lifecycle, from the initial fire scene analysis to the secure transportation of the damaged vehicle or equipment back to our laboratory for detailed examinations. This process is critical for heavy equipment, where intricate mechanical and electrical systems often require advanced diagnostic techniques and meticulous disassembly to identify the origin and cause of the fire.
Once transported to our laboratory, each piece of equipment is handled with the utmost care and precision. We boast a secure evidence storage facility capable of accommodating any size of equipment, from small skid steer loaders to large excavators and timber equipment. This facility helps ensure that all evidence is preserved in an uncontaminated environment, crucial for the integrity of the investigation and any subsequent legal proceedings.
The types of losses we handle include:
Tractor Trailer Fires
Investigating fires in these vehicles involves analyzing both the cargo and the mechanical components to determine if the fire was cargo-induced or a result of mechanical failure.
Buses
Given their size and the complexity of their electrical systems, bus fires require a detailed approach to trace electrical faults or mechanical issues.
Excavators and Bulldozers
These pieces of construction equipment operate in harsh environments that can predispose them to fires. Our investigations focus on potential mechanical overheating or electrical failures.
Skid Steer Loaders
Compact but complex, investigating fires in these loaders often involves examining hydraulic and fuel systems for faults.
Timber Equipment
Specializing in such equipment, our investigations often consider both operational practices and the particular mechanical and environmental conditions that could contribute to fire incidents.
At SAFE Labs, we pride ourselves on providing precise, reliable, and timely Heavy Equipment Investigation services. Our expert team, coupled with state-of-the-art facilities, helps ensure that we can handle even the most challenging investigations, providing our clients with the insights needed to prevent future incidents and maintain safety standards across all types of heavy equipment operations.
