On the platform September 1st 2010 Transdek has recently supplied safe
working platforms to NYK Logistics,
Eddie Stobart and YRC Logistics to
facilitate safer yard unloading.
The platforms measure
2450x1750mm and have a WLL of
2.5 tonnes. 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
2 tonnes.
Transdek operations director Leon
Butler says: "They provide a simple
solution for reducing the hazards in
the yard."
According to the HSE around
2,000 workers are seriously injured
every year as a result of falling from a
vehicle, and about five fatally. More articles from Transdek UK Ltd: |
