Lower labour costs
February 1st 2008

When Border Barrier Systems was faced with an expanding order book for its Rhino water-fill barrier system, it had to find an alternative method of manhandling its product on to lorries and around the site. Turning to B&B Attachments for a solution, the company specified a Kaup rotating bale clamp, which has been specifically adapted for the barriers.

Now, Border Barrier Systems has not only saved costs on manual labour (it took three men to handle the Rhino Barriers weighing 60kg each), it has also speeded up loading with one driver able to handle 1520 units a month. In addition, the company has pre-empted potential health and safety issues which might have arisen by employees physically lifting heavy weights.

Fitted on to a Manitou forklift truck, the clamp can lift the barriers either vertically or horizontally, transferring them to the stocking area and then onto vehicles for onward transportation.

"The attachment is used everyday and we couldn't do without it," says Philip Armstrong, director of Border Barriers. "The combination of the Manitou forklift truck and B&B Attachments' clamp has ensured better, faster and safer handling of our barriers." The 2T 453G rotating bale clamp specified has been designed to provide excellent visibility for the lift truck driver, enabling loads to be moved quickly and easily.
