Fall-arrest barrier Dok-Guardian

net

Stopping a 4500 kg forklift truck moving at speeds of up to 4 mph, the heavy-duty Dok-Guardian Safety Barrier from Caljan Rite-Hite effectively protects your employees and your equipment with little or no damage to the barrier itself. Vacant loading docks create a dangerous drop of more than one meter. The Dok-Guardian safety barrier effectively barricades this opening, preventing dock personnel and in particular those driving fork lift trucks from falling over the edge. The brutality of this dangerous drop-off is often recognised only after it is too late and a serious accident has happened. Unfortunately the number of people killed each year in the UK falling from vehicles and moving equipment has risen during the last three years by 50%. Additionally, 52 people were critically injured in 2008/9 in connection with forklift truck accidents (source: HSC national statistics). Other Safety Barriers in our programme, include strap barriers and curtains to partition areas in the workarea. These can be easily removed on a temporary basis for unobstructed access to the area giving flexibility and the ability to relocate barriers at minimal cost.
