Hands-free solution
February 1st 2006 Safesite's Hercule horizontal fall arrest system has been installed at Classic Couverture's distribution plant in Liverpool to provide a permanent fall arrest system for operatives who need to access the top of tankers in order to fill them with chocolate.
Safe access was already being provided by a gantry, but the problem was how to allow the workers to walk safely along the top of the tankers without restricting movement.
Hercule's enclosed track system incorporates a lightweight trolley with sealed bearings. It allows workers to move freely and operate hands-free along the length of the vehicles. The trolley mechanism has a further benefit in that it prevents the pendulum effect in the event of a fall.
