Traditional means of communication don’t always work in the logging industry. In remote areas, cell phones may not get a strong signal or be able to withstand variable weather conditions. Because workers may be spread out over a large worksite, walking on foot to speak to someone or shouting across distances may not be viable.
The best option for logging outfits is push-to-talk (PTT) two-way radios, and here’s why.
Durable
Logging means working outside in the heat or cold, rain or shine. Moisture, dust, and wood shavings are unavoidable in the logging industry, so you need to have equipment that can withstand these conditions.
Peak PTT two-way radios are all designed with durability in mind. Depending on your needs, we offer a range of radios with different IP ratings. For example, if you need radios that are as durable as it gets, we recommend checking out the PTT-584G Dedicated Push To Talk Rugged Handset (IP67) and the PTT-624G Rugged LTE Radio (IP68).
Reliable
A reliable radio is not only durable but has a long battery life that stays charged all shift long. Our radios come with quality lithium-ion batteries that keep their charge longer. Plus, we offer a range of multi-chargers like the PTT-584G multi-charger that will ensure your workers always have fully-charged radios available to them.
Long-Distance
Logging often involves employees communicating over long distances and in remote areas. Peak PTT radios utilize 4G LTE networks that provide a clear signal and a virtually unlimited range.
Safety
Even with the best training and safety protocols in place, logging is still dangerous. With Peak PTT two-way radios, workers can keep in constant contact to warn others of approaching dangers, coming storms, or on-site emergencies. If something does go wrong, a signal can be sent out immediately to get emergency medical teams over as fast as possible.
Noise-Canceling
Logging sites can be extremely loud. The sound of equipment and vehicles running like bunchers, loaders, and harvesters can make traditional communication methods impossible. Peak PTT two-way radios use noise-canceling technology to eliminate background noise to ensure clear communication.
Improve Productivity
Communication is key in every industry. When used properly, communication devices are there to connect users, boost collaboration, and improve overall productivity. At logging sites, workers can instantly send and receive messages while they’re actively working or operating machinery, reducing downtime on the job. With Peak PTT two-way radios, users can quickly ask questions and supervisors can seamlessly send out messages, job updates, or orders.
The benefits of Peak PTT radios are practically endless. See for yourself today.
