Loads like the cut of the jib
June 1st 2008 Carrying awkward loads
can be a potential Health
& Safety hazard for any
workplace. "We needed
to find a safe way of
handling our bespoke
manufactured frames,"
says Philip Houghton of
Lilleker Engineering.
"Handling them on the
forks of the truck was
potentially too dangerous
due to the risk factor of
them slipping off, so we
invested in a Contact
forklift lifting jib. What
used to be a two to three
man operation is now
carried out by one
person, speeding up the
process and making it
safer."
Contact Attachments

handling equipment and

forklift truck. More articles from Contact Attachments Limited: |
