KeepingPeople SafeOleo leads the world in energy absorption
inmany critical applications, often as the lastline of protection
for people and equipment.
Every day millions of people around theworld rely on Oleo to
provide their safety.
It is our responsibility to ensure allinternational standards
for the industries wesupply are adhered to, but we strive formore

IndustrialIndustry around the world depends upon Oleo’s
technology to deliver security to its people andequipment.
Oleo industrial buffers provide effective energyabsorption
solutions for a wide range of applicationsincluding dockside
cranes, steel mills, mines and railinfrastructure and has a
presence in all major portsworldwide. Together with its network of
distributors,Oleo can offer a complete consultancy serviceincluding
after sales support.
What sets the Oleo gas hydraulic buffer above all otherenergy
absorbers is its ability to dissipate over 95% ofthe impact energy,
leading to controlled decelerationof moving equipment, whatever the
speed of impact,keeping forces to a minimum and absorbing
anddissipating virtually all the energy.

Test and ValidationThe mathematical model used for each buffer
productrange has been validated in advance within Oleo’s
in-housetest facilities.
These facilities are accredited to act independently of Oleo
inaccordance with ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 General requirementsfor the
competence of testing and calibration laboratories(UKAS
accreditation number 7778) in order to ensure thehighest quality
standards.
A full suite of environmental testing is also used to test
thequality of Oleo’s plunger plating, paint finish and
bellows.TITAN RIG
SimulationOleo has been developing its computational modelling
ofimpact scenarios since the early 1980s and now has adedicated
team which continues to enhance thesemathematical models and the
supporting software.
The power of this simulation tool has now been madeavailable to
everyone online through the Simulator on Oleo’swebsite, allowing
the quick and optimal selection of buffersfor numerous industries
and collision scenarios. In addition,any user can have the internal
characteristics of the bufferdesigned specifically for their
project in seconds to minimisethe stress an impact will place on
their equipment.SIMULATION TOOL
E-commerceAll industrial buffers can be bought directly through
Oleo’swebsite via a fully-featured e-commerce system.
Buffers can be selected with any desired configurationoptions
using Oleo’s Configurator which provides the relevantprice, drawing
and CAD file data in advance of ordering.
There is full integration with Oleo’s Simulator which
allowsstandard or bespoke buffers chosen this way to be
orderedimmediately or at a later date.

Ports and DocksThe rapid growth in global container traffic
since the millennium has incentivised morenumerous, heavier and
faster operating cranes, which has also required an increase in
thesupporting energy absorption capacity to protect them.
Ports and docksides are home to some of the largestmobile
machinery in industry and so a mechanicalfailsafe for high energy
overtravel scenarios is thereforeessential to remove the risk of
substantial damage toequipment and disruption to these vital trade
hubs.
Oleo buffers have been used worldwide on port cranesfor decades
and with its wide array of buffer rangesthere is a suitable
selection for any size of crane ortrolley, including when
substantial wind loading mustbe considered. The buffers are fitted
with plungercorrosion protection as standard, with
increasedprotection available for more severe marine
environments and can also be supplied pre-paintedwith a marine
finish. Protective bellows suitable to thelocal climate are also
available where necessary, aswell as safety cables for elevated
trolley buffers.
All main types of dockside cranes have a requirementfor
buffers:
• Ship-to-shore (STS)
• Rail mounted gantry (RMG)
• Rubber tyre gantry (RTG)
• Luffing

Steel MillsSteel mills are a challenging environment in which
buffer durability isn’t a preference but arequirement.
Modern steel mills have always included buffers aspart of the
required technology in their plants in orderto protect their end
product and other equipment andalso prevent downtime.
Oleo buffers are ideally suited to all of theseapplications
because of their renowned durability andreliability and because
they offer the industry-requiredoptions of high temperature seals
and dust-protectivebellows. This allows them to be repeatedly
impactedeven in the hottest and dirtiest of environments.
The applications within steel mills that require
energyabsorption include:
• Overhead & gantry cranes
• Billet endstops
• Rope-breaking dampers
• Ladle (transfer) cars

MiningThe mining and bulk material handling industry with its
use of heavy equipment, includes avariety of applications which
require energy absorption protection to safeguard equipment
andpeople in emergency impacts, as well as other applications which
use damping as part of theirnormal operation.
The particle-laden air that the buffers must work inrequires
robust shielding so that they can operatecorrectly at a moment’s
notice and repeatedly.
All Oleo buffer ranges can be fitted with dust-protectivebellows
to allow the buffers to repeatedly strokewithout particles getting
inside the unit and thisextends its lifetime. Oleo’s simulation
software can be
used to select buffers for applications with rotationalmovement
as well as linear movement and so amongstothers can be used
for:
• Stackers/reclaimers
• Wagon train dumpers
• Wagon train indexers
• Transfer cars

WarehousingMaking efficient use of space in the warehousing
industry is fundamental in the selection ofall equipment.
Warehousing uses long buffers for the stacker cranesof its
automatic storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS)in order to meet the
strict requirements for protectingtransported products as they slow
down during anormal operation or emergency buffer impact.
Sincelength is at a premium for an industry in which
spaceoptimisation is key, Oleo specially optimises theinternal
characteristics of the buffer wherever possibleto reduce the size
of the buffer required and thereforekeep installation length to a
minimum.

EnergyThe public service that the energy sector provides makes
equipment reliability essential.
The energy sector brings particular demands, whetherit is the
use of single failure proof (SFP) overheadcranes in the nuclear
industry for which reliableovertravel buffers are essential or
whether it is fordampers being used in devices for harnessing
wavepower – part of the next generation in energyproduction. The
low maintenance requirement of Oleobuffers is a big advantage in
all of these cases due tothe savings it allows on labour time.

Fun RidesWhile thrill-seekers have benefitted from the elaborate
ways fun ride designers have created tofling their bodies around,
there has naturally become a role for energy absorption to play
incontrolling some of this energy.
In the case of some drop tower rides, gas hydraulicbuffers are
used in normal operation to cushion againstuncomfortable jolts to
the paying passengers and toalso adapt to emergency situations when
a brake fails,in which case it is able to absorb this extra energy
inthe same controlled manner. Oleo buffers areoptimised for the
mass that is impacting them nomatter what velocity they are being
impacted at – nomanual alteration of the buffer is required. This
meansthat for any given impact velocity, the peak forces thatare
experienced by the passengers will always be theminimum that they
can be.

End StopsOn the rare occasions a train fails to stop or slow
down sufficiently on a mainline, depot or testtrack, the risk is
that it collides with or overrides the end of the
platform/line.
With train velocities increasing and a greater emphasison the
importance of passenger safety and rollingstock protection, end
stops are an essentialcomponent of any new rail project. With over
sixtyyears of experience within the rail industry, Oleo has anin
depth understanding of train performance thoughtrain running and
impact simulations, ensuring efficientand effective end stop
solutions are provided to theindustry in the event of a train
failing to stop. Bydissipating the impacting energy through
frictionclamps, gas hydraulic buffers or a combination of both,each
solution is optimised to provide the lowestdeceleration rates
whilst maintaining minimalinstallation distances.

BespokeGas hydraulic buffers can apply to a wider array of
applications than the traditional uses orindustries they are
supplied to.
Oleo has a depth of experience in working togetherwith customers
on specific or less commonapplications to find a buffer selection
that will meet allthe needs of their specification. For companies
who areconfident with buffer selection, Oleo will makeavailable the
use of its powerful and speedy simulationsoftware to allow quick
iteration in the design process,backed up by the dependable data
