SAFE ESCAPE FROM A STACKER TRUCK
October 1st 2004

Restricted access can make escape from a stacker truck difficult, particularly if the operative has not been properly trained for such an eventuality.

Tractel (UK), in conjunction with Stayfast UK, provides off-the-shelf solutions.

Tractels Derope is an automatic descent control device that allows a hands-free descent from almost any height and is small enough to be permanently installed in the truck.

Stayfast UK provides a complete package in relation to the system, including consultancy/risk assessment, equipment supply and contract lease that includes ongoing inspections/maintenance and user training.

The companys Jon Tayler says Users tend to feel more at ease with an automatic system because it allows them hands-free movement to climb over obstacles and so avoid a balancing act.
