LEXPORT OFFER SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR
STURDY LADDERS Dutch manufacturers Lexport are proud to unveil to the UK market the Ladderprotector – a unique anti-slip device that keeps ladders in place, avoiding slippages that could cause serious injury and allowing users to carry out ladder work without having to have someone footing the ladder for the duration of the task.
Tough, durable and very effective, the patented product reduces the risk of base slip by over 1200%.
The Ladderprotector is suitable for a wide range of users, including window
SAFETY DURING CIP ENSURED WITH FORTRESS INTERLOCKS AND
SAFETY SWITCHES Strict health and safety standards in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries require all machinery used in the production process to be thoroughly sanitised at regular intervals to keep equipment clean and eliminate the risk of bacterial contamination. This automated cleaning process, known as Cleaning in Place (CIP), uses a mix of chemicals, heat and water to clean machinery, vessels or pipework without having to dismantle plant.
The high pressures, harsh chemicals and high temperatures used in CIP, means an adequate safety system is needed to protect personnel. This safety equipment must itself be able to withstand the CIP process which can seriously damage electronic circuits and instrumentation and cause substances such as dust and food waste to penetrate the equipment, causing it to fail. This usually requires an ingress protection (IP) rating of IP69K – the highest rating available.

Any interlocks and safety switches installed on safety equipment must also be IP69K-rated. Unfortunately most interlocks currently available offer limited flexibility, focusing solely on achieving IP69K but failing to take into account other safety hazards.
Fortress has developed the amGardS40, a range of highly robust, IP69K-rated, stainless steel electro-mechanical safety interlocks and switches specifically designed for the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Modular in design, they allow for many different configurations to satisfy almost any safeguarding application, allowing customers to purchase modules and build up their ideal safety system over a period of time.
Each module of the amGardS40 has a slim 40mm body allowing it to be
easily fitted to a 50mm guarding section or other areas where space is limited. The range also enables users to incorporate basic machine control functionality into their interlocking devices. All control elements, including push buttons, lamps, selector switches and e-stops are IP69K-rated and can tolerate extreme CIP conditions. This minimises downtime while simplifying the access procedure as ‘gate release/ machine restart’ can be controlled at the point of entry.
As the amGardS40 IP69K range maintains optimal performance even after being repeatedly hosed down by high-pressure washers and subjected to harsh CIP chemical cleaning agents, it helps manufacturers achieve a high Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) rating.

cleaners, painters, roofers and even the emergency services, as well as facilities management teams in railway stations and airports.
Made from 100% rubber, the Ladderprotector’s tough construction and unique grip pattern, alongside the increased surface area on the ground, means that it can achieve a superior grip on any floor surface including tiles, rubber, stone, decking and even grass.
Manufactured in Lexport’s home country of the Netherlands, the Ladderprotector is available worldwide, and has already sold more than 59,000 units across Europe, with the company proclaiming it to be the ‘lowest price in ladder safety’.
