WORKING AT HEIGHT | AJAX SAFE ACCESS HANDLE WITH CARE
Falls from height are consistently the most common cause of injury at work. Ajax Safe Access talks us through its extensive range of solutions to protect factory and warehouse workers.
When protecting workers in hazardous and high level environments, Ajax Safe Access has the solution. The company’s safe access systems and handling solutions create safe working environments and eliminate the hazard of falls from height; the most common cause of injury in the workplace. With over 45 years of experience in high level safe access systems, Ajax’s barriers, pallet gates, platforms and step units have a well proven track record for being reliable and easy to operate – the most important factors in any safety equipment.
Ajax safety barriers and platforms provide the necessary all-round edge protection to prevent injury to operatives and other personnel when handling and storing materials onto mezzanine floors and in distribution areas. The standard products are all manufactured and constructed to the highest quality for long lasting durability and many years of maintenance-free operation.
Ajax manufactures its safety barriers from mild steel and finishes them in either a powder-coated yellow or galvanises for harsh conditions. There is also the option of a stainless steel construction, which is ideal for hygienic environments in the food and drink processing industry. The safety barriers have a counterbalance manual operation supported with a locking mechanism to hold its position and they come in two different designs.
For an area with restricted floor space, the Roll Over design allows for loading and unloading without compromising additional floor space when in operation. For larger loads the Swing Arm design is recommended. The Swing Arm design does not have a restricted load height and is ideal for warehouses with larger mezzanines. Both designs

come in standard widths to cater for single and double pallets.
The unique value of Ajax is that its standard products can be fully customised to meet the bespoke requirements of different industries while remaining fully compliant with the latest British Standards.
Recently, Ajax has taken its standard Roll Over Pallet Gate and made an important, space saving modification to meet a client’s bespoke specification.
“AJAX SAFETY BARRIERS AND
PLATFORMS PROVIDE THE NECESSARY
ALL-ROUND EDGE PROTECTION TO
PREVENT INJURY TO OPERATIVES.”
With limited space between the opening of the client’s mezzanine and the doorway through which goods were to be transported for loading and unloading, Ajax designed one side of its Pallet Gate construction to fold in on itself. This unique space saving idea was tested in the Ajax manufacturing facility before being transported to the warehouse unit and installed.
Now installed, single pallet loads can be easily loaded and unloaded onto the mezzanine with the confidence that every staff member working at height will be protected from falling. After unloading the pallet, the operative can close the side gate to maximise their floor space to manoeuvre the pallet through the doorway while maintaining safety in the warehouse.
Ajax offers this full service of installation, staff training, inspections and maintenance with every safe access product purchased directly.
