Added safety for boom conveyors
February 1st 2007 Caljan Rite-Hite has introduced a moveable platform extension for its SafeTrack telescopic boom conveyor. Complying with BS EN 619 2002, the boom conveyors are fully underguarded. A new Man-Rider platform further improves safety and efficiency. The Man-Rider is a platform that attaches to the delivery end of a SafeTrack telescopic conveyor. As the operator loads or unloads a trailer, the platform on which they stand moves with the conveyor. This is said to make it easier for the operator to lift items onto or off the conveyor, particularly if they are large or awkward. The product incorporates a clamp for a restraining harness, side fences and a non-slip floor plate. The bottom of the platform is one big safety sensor to avoid crushed feet or material and there are safety edges at the front and rear. The operator positions the platform at the most comfortable working height in relation to the conveyor and the load face. More articles from Caljan Rite-Hite Ltd: |
