Lead boom reduces heavy handling risks
June 1st 2008 SIG has purchased Lead
Booms from Invicta Forks &
Attachments to reduce
manual handling risks for
personnel in its Roofing
Division, SIG Roofing
Supplies. Designed to handle
heavy coiled or cylindrical
products, such as steel coils,
concrete pipes and rolls of
lead, each boom is designed
to meet the customer's
particular requirements. SIG
Roofing Supplies routinely
handles heavy rolls of lead,
a potentially hazardous
operation when carried out
manually.
The Lead Booms from
Invicta have enabled rolls of
lead to be handled more
easily, simplifying the van
loading operation. One of
the main safety features of
the Invicta Lead Boom is its
fully-automatic heel pin
retention. This eliminates
any possibility of the
attachment slipping off the
truck's forks during handling
and transporting. Also, a
thumb screw enables the
fork truck driver to provide
secondary locking by
securely clamping the Lead
Boom to the truck's forks. More articles from Invicta Forks & Attachments: |
