Making safer maintenance possible across every OEM and machine type.
Mining fleets rarely rely on a single brand of equipment. CAT, Hitachi, Komatsu, Liebherr, Sandvik and other OEMs all sit side by side, each with their own layouts and design quirks. For technicians, this means every adjustment point is different. Some sit behind panels, others require dismantling equipment and many force workers into cramped postures near high-pressure hydraulics. These inconsistencies create delays, inefficiencies, and exposure to the risks that Elimination of Live Work (ELW) seeks to remove.
A Universal Solution for Hydraulic Maintenance
Not every machine is the same, and hydraulic maintenance can vary from one system to the next. SafeAdjust is designed to be universal, giving technicians a single solution that works across all major OEMs and machine types. This universality is made possible through the combination of FlexAdjust and the dedicated HydraTune tablet, included in every SafeAdjust kit. Together, they allow crews to connect, monitor and adjust hydraulic systems consistently, regardless of the machine or the complexity of the maintenance point.
FlexAdjust
FlexAdjust is our universal adapter, engineered to attach to any hydraulic system, making SafeAdjust compatible across every machine, OEM and layout. Its flexible design also helps technicians reach otherwise inaccessible or obstructed tuning points safely.
By reducing the need for disassembly and avoiding hazardous postures, FlexAdjust allows maintenance to be completed without stepping into danger zones. Technicians can focus on accurate, high-quality adjustments rather than the physical strain or risk of reaching difficult locations.
For sites, this means less downtime, more consistent hydraulic tuning and a workforce protected from unnecessary exposure. FlexAdjust’s universal compatibility ensures that ELW adoption is not only possible but scalable across the fleet.
HydraTune Tablet & App
Every SafeAdjust kit comes with a dedicated tablet preloaded with the HydraTune app, providing a consistent, out-of-the-box platform for hydraulic maintenance. Technicians don’t need to configure personal devices or install software; the system is ready to connect to any machine straight away.
This seamless integration ensures every adjustment is controlled, accurate and delivered safely, reinforcing SafeAdjust’s universal approach and letting crews focus on the work itself rather than setup or compatibility issues. Through the tablet, adjustments are delivered remotely, with accuracy down to 1° even when valves are buried deep inside a compartment.Â
Optimise your Maintenance Workflow
With SafeAdjust and FlexAdjust, crews don’t have to learn separate processes or carry multiple tools. They work with one universal solution that fits directly into day-to-day routines. Live work exposure is reduced across the board, making safer practices not just possible, but repeatable at scale.
