Lorry
mounting safety steps
An
increasing problem within
the road haulage industry is
how access is gained onto
the back of a lorry or
trailer and drivers have
become worryingly adept at
climbing up onto the lorry
wheels or balancing on the
tips of forklift forks.
Carrying out a risk
assessment of how safe
access should be gained
invariably leads to needing
a mobile access safety
ladder.
Roll
Containers Handling Ltd,
Kettering, manufactures a
range of mobile safety
ladders and has developed a
mobile “walk through” access
ladder. This 5 step safety
ladder has a platform height
of 1280mm and is fitted
with2 substantial 200mm
nylon wheels and 2 smaller
100mm diameter wheels housed
in swivel castors allowing
easy movement. On the side
is mounted a brake lever
which disengages the smaller
wheels when in use allowing
a safe stable platform. Also
fitted is a safety chain at
the top and safety notice on
the side.
These
ladders are available from
stock at a reasonable
£209 each.
