A-SAFE unveils new


anti-topple products for stacked storage areas


A-SAFE are designed to protect pedestrians, goods and vehicles from topple hazards in bulk storage areas.


S A-SAFE has launched a new range of high-level barriers


to address the danger of toppling stacked goods in bulk storage areas. The new Topple Barrier and Heavy Duty Topple Barrier are available in multiple height variations ranging from 2.2 metres to 5.2 metres. A new modular design allows customers to adapt the height of the barrier as their needs evolve, by adding the required number of 1000mm rail modules to a universal base unit.


This modularity comes courtesy of a newly developed in-


line coupling system, which provides a seamless join between modules without compromising on strength and flexibility.

tacking bulk goods can increase the risk of topple- related accidents. New high-level Topple Barriers from


designed to provide a new solution to active welding protection as well as providing the user the comfort, fit and versatility for everyday use. These systems meet the NEW HSE protective directive for welding on mild steel.


For users needing side vision there are two models available. The Kapio S4 Auto darkening Helmet offers 160


degree side vision, 4 arc sensors, a viewing area of 93 x 43 mm with grinding function whereas the Navitek Side Vision S4 Auto darkening helmet offers all the same features as the Kapio but with an extra large clear grinding visor beneath the welding flip. Both units conform to EN166B, 175B, 379. The Weltek systems are available through Wilkinson Star’s extensive distributor network.

o make the inspection process of an empty shipping container faster, Hyster Europe has introduced a


spreader support device option for its Empty Container Handlers. The company is also offering a Lift Truck with an attachment that can easily move a 40ft container into a workshop with narrow doors, and then rotate it. “To help them remain competitive, in container


inspection, maintenance and repair operations, the visual inspection of empty containers needs to be as efficient as possible,” says Chris van de Werdt, Product Strategy Manager EMEA Big Trucks for Hyster Europe. Hyster Europe has developed a spreader support


device for its Empty Container Handlers that helps eliminate a stage in the inspection process. “With the spreader support device, containers no


longer need to be set down for inspection, enabling checkers to quickly inspect the containers thoroughly,” he says. “The inspection process involves examining the container for damage, including the underside, and the process has health and safety risks if the container is not suitably held in position.” By using the Hyster® spreader support device, the


spreader holding the container is firmly locked in place at a height of about 1.80metres. At the touch of a button in the cab, the operator activates the support device which secures the spreader with mechanical locks from both sides of the mast. The mechanical locks prevent the spreader and


container from dropping. Furthermore, the moment the spreader support device is extended, the operator cannot drive or move the truck until it is de-activated following the inspection. “A monitor indicates to the checker that the spreader


is fixed and the container stabilised,” Chris says. “Whether it is a dry container or the inspection of a reefer for food transportation or pharmaceuticals, this device helps significantly reduce the inspection time.”


The solution is available on models from the Hyster®


H8XM-EC6 - H11XM-ECD9 series of Empty Container Handlers for the inspection of 20, 40 and 45ft sea containers.


Moving containers into the workshop on the short end Hyster Europe has also developed a solution to lift containers from the ‘short’ end, enabling them to be easily and quickly moved into repair workshops. A special container rotator attachment fitted to a heavy-duty Hyster® Lift Truck can lift a dry container or reefer into an indoor facility with doors just slightly wider than the front axle of the truck. Inside the workshop the attachment allows the containers to be conveniently

placed into a row ready for repair. After repair, the containers can be removed in any order regardless of their position in the row. "When engineers need to repair the roof or the bottom


of a container, they normally have to work on top or underneath it. However, this attachment can rotate the container allowing them to work on these areas as if they were the side of the container, which is far more easily accessed,” says Chris. “This makes repairs and maintenance easier and more efficient, helping to increase productivity and contributing to overall safety.”
