Working with Drain Cleaning Machines Made Easy

Like any job working with powerful machinery, drain cleaning always comes with a risk of injury. Technicians can easily get injured when moving or operating drain cleaning machines if they are not paying attention and taking precautions to stay safe. To make your job safer – and easier – pay attention to all safety measures, be alert and follow all safety guidelines. Beyond reading the safety manual so you fully understand how to use the machine safely, take measures to lower the risk of injury to yourself.

The most common injuries technicians and drain professions suffer are back and leg strains and sprains that usually come from carrying and moving the heavy drain cleaning machines. By carrying this equipment unaided, technicians put themselves and the machines in harm’s way.

Avoid injuries by working smarter, not harder. Invest in a loading ramp for your heavier machines and save your back. Duracable sells loading ramps for its DM55 and DM175 models that bolt into the vehicle. If you’re having to tackle stairs often, look for a machine with stair climbers or stair glides. You can also buy a machine cart for certain models to make transportation easier. Duracable’s DM150, for instance, has a cart to help haul and position the pivot drain cleaning machine in place for the job.

The drain cleaning machine is not the only heavy equipment a technician may try to carry. The drain cables can be very heavy, particularly those used with the sled and upright machines. Many times, technicians will have any extra reels loaded with cable before they get to the job to make switching them out easier. That reel will be heavy as well as bulky, so Duracable makes a reel cart to help you transport it safely.

Don’t forget to always equip yourself properly. Remember to wear heavy duty gloves when working and running the machine – the gloves will prevent injuries to your hands while keeping them clean. Make sure to wear heavy duty boots as well to keep your feet protected. Lastly, make sure to not to wear any loose clothing or other items that could get caught in the machine while it's running.
