WHAT
DOES CounterAct's FIELD EVALUATION PROGRAM SHOW?
CounterAct Electronic Rustproofing
Field Evaluations:
"CounterAct electronic rust protection for salt harvesting
trucks"
|
IMC
Kalium Ogden Corp.
"...the conditions that our equipment
routinely encounters in salt harvesting are among the most
severe corrosion promoting environments."
"...on our pickups, metal exposed from scratches and
dents can perforate in 3-6 months time if left unattended."
"...have used the CounterAct electronic rust protection
system for over 10 years and stock it for routine installation
on all new trucks."
"...the operating life of our trucks had been only a
year and a half between rebuilds and has now been increased
by at least an additional 24 months. "

"CounterAct
electronic rust proofing for brine harvesting equipment"
|
Great
Salt Lake Mineral Corp.
(Brine Harvesting Operation)
"...we stock the CounterAct electronic
rustproofing systems routinely for use on all our trucks and
have used it for about 15 years."
"The CounterAct electronic rust proofing systems have
extended the average working life of our trucks by at least
2 years."
"...many of the fellows have a CounterAct electronic
rust protection system on their personal vehicles as well
after seeing what they do in the field."
I have one on my own car I really believe in CounterAct's
effectiveness."

"CounterAct electronic rust protection for government
snowplows and salt spreader trucks"
|
Dept.
of Transportation
Iowa (2001)
"There is a noticeable difference between
the snowplows which received the CounterAct electronic rust
protection systems and those that did not. Not only is there
far less rust and corrosion on the CounterAct protected
snow plows but the trucks without the system show a far
greater loss of paint. This tells me that the CounterAct
electronic rust protection system reduces paint undercutting
as well. On one plow truck we had installed an undersized
pick-up truck size system. Even on this vehicle the difference
from unprotected snowplow trucks was remarkable"

"CounterAct electronic rust protection on steel and aluminum
boat trailers"
|
EZ
Loader Boat Trailers (2001)
The Southeast division of EZ Loader Boat Trailers is a manufacturer
of both aluminum and galvanized boat trailers. We tested a
CounterAct electronic corrosion control system on one of our
aluminum trailers. The trailer has aluminum I-beams as its
main frame with galvanized steel cross-members and zinc plated
hardware. We have observed the following after one year of
use:
1.The trailer shows very small amounts of corrosion, if any.
2.The hardware is in perfect condition showing no corrosion.
In Florida we have extreme salt water conditions and I firmly
believe that this trailer would show heavy corrosion if it
did not have the CounterAct system.
We at EZ Loader are true believers of the CounterAct electronic
corrosion control system and therefore are currently offering
the system on all our trailers.

"CounterAct Electronic rust protection on heavy mining
equipment"
|
Clough
Engineering Group,
Telfer Mining (1999)
We first installed a CounterAct "electronic
rust protection" system in a Wagner ST 7.5 loader about
2 years ago. The machine left this site some 2 months later
and I lost sight of it until January of this year. We had
used a grinder to polish an area under a wheel arch to monitor
the success or otherwise of the system.
I was pleased to see that the unpainted patch was still free
from rust. As we are in the planning stages of replacing our
fleet we are including CounterAct "electronic rust protection"
on each new machine. In fact we have just purchased an Elphinstone
R1700 to which we have fitted the system.
The cost of the system is negligible compared to our corrosion
problems, even in the first few months of a machine's service
life."

"CounterAct electronic rust protection on fire trucks"
|
R.
B. Burcham
Fire Dept. Equipment Foreman (1991)
"We took delivery on 4 similar fire trucks and installed
the CounterAct electronic rust protection systems on 2 of
these. After 30 months, visual inspection of the trucks revealed
that the trucks were rust free while the 2 unprotected fire
trucks already had rust forming.
On the ladder truck which had undergone extensive rust repair
and on which a system was fitted afterwards, there was no
evidence of further rusting at the repair site despite the
use of dissimilar metals (steel and aluminum) in the repair.
On the unrepaired areas of the truck there was no sign of
the existing rust progressing. Although these are subjective
observations I am satisfied that the CounterAct electronic
rust protection systems have proven very effective under the
harsh conditions in which our fire trucks and equipment operates."

"CounterAct Electronic Rust Protection
on mechanic's bed trucks"
|
Mac's
Engineering
Mac's Engineering in conjunction with certain
Coal Mines within Central Queensland ran a testing program
utilizing CounterAct 4 Coupler Heavy Duty Systems (OR-4) over
a period of 18 months.
The test proved to be effective by controlling the corrosion
problems associated with the coal mines, sulphur being the
corrosive agents.
Mac's Engineering are now supplying & fitting CounterAct
(OR-4) Systems to all new Nissan Patrols going onto these
Coal Mine sites in Central Queensland.
We are also looking at using CounterAct Technology to control
corrosion on static structures at a local coal loading facility
and for the prevention of corrosion on a steel and concrete
water tower.

"CounterAct
Electronic Rust Protection on off road safari vehicles" |
Duncan's
Off Road (2000)
"It has been some two years now that
this company has had your "electronic rust protection"
product in use. During this time our two Nissan vehicles have
clocked up 200,000 klms. conducting tag-a-long tours to remote
parts of Australia along with our bush and sand driver training
closer to home. Our vehicles negotiate countless river crossings
and are constantly exposed to the elements in coastal regions;
be it in Cape York, Cape Levesque, Middle Lagoon, Broome at
Tully Inlet or Karumba in the gulf or closer at home, at Tewantin
where monthly sand driver training is conducted.
"I have conducted my own tests on the CounterAct "electronic
rust protection" unit by comparing two vehicles, one
with a fitted unit and one without, over a seven day period
and have clearly seen first hand how rapidly a salty environment
can deteriorate a vehicle that has no such electronic aid."
" In summary, I would like to advise that our vehicles
operate at times under extreme conditions and harsh terrain.
We have found very obvious results and would suggest that
anyone seriously interested in significantly extending the
life of their motor vehicle, should consider a CounterAct
"electronic corrosion control" system. I have no
hesitation in recommending this unit.
