Fencing for machine safety June 1st 2007 Troax UK has used its Rapid
Fix machine fencing to
construct a comprehensive
machine safety solution for
Next Retail's distribution
centre. The machine
guarding system is
designed to create a safety
barrier around a series of 30
automated crane aisles and
conveyors. It reaches 12
metres in height over three
levels and is part of the
automated warehouse
system installed at the site
by Dematic. The fencing
prevents unauthorised
access to the guarded area
and Troax says it ensures
highest safety standards for
personnel. The Rapid Fix
fencing protects the front
and rear of the crane aisles
which are located on three
separate levels; the upper
levels reaching a total
height of 12 metres.
Each crane aisle door is
fitted with a RIM cylinder
lock and push pad release at
the front, with push pads
fitted at the rear. More articles from Troax (UK) Limited: |
