The structural steelwork contractor has set out to take a lead when it comes to safe loading and unloading.
Severfield group plant dupervisor Gareth McCormick said: “We had a requirement for a new trailer system and wanted to create something that was unique to us. When designing, we considered our plant fleet and the requirements of adding tailored safety features.â€
Some of the features that form part of the design are:
- air assisted ramp
- a gate system fitted to the front of the trailer to allow safe access from the tractor unit
- side posts and sockets to secure back loads if required
- integrated toast rack storage for walkway
- twin strap edge protection full length of the trailer both sides
- walkway with 300mm-wide galvanised walkway sections and pull out supports
- rear camera
- hydraulic ramps with side shift to suit all plant.
Severfield also has a bespoke safety system to unload steel safely, as shown in the video below.
