Better loading safety by the yard June 1st 2010 Transdek has recently supplied its
Safe Working Platforms to NYK
Logistics, Eddie Stobart and YRC
Logistics, providing them with a safer
means of unloading in their yards.
The platforms measure 2450 x
1750mm and have a WLL of 2.5t.
Each platform has forklift pockets,
allowing it to be easily moved around
the yard, and telescopic legs for
working at variable heights. To
ensure safe spanning of any
gaps, the front edge of each
platform has a 4mm thick,
450mm wide bridging plate
able to withstand 2t.
Leon Butler, operations
director at Transdek said:
"They provide a nice simple
solution to reducing the
hazards associated with unloading in
the yard."
According to HSE statistics,
around 2000 workers are seriously
injured every year falling from a
vehicle and about five of these people
suffer fatal injuries. More articles from Transdek UK Ltd: |
