PRODUCT SHOWCASE
TB Davies’ two game changing products are setting the bar high
WITH a heritage spanning four generations, Cardiff -based TB Davies is leading the way with height and ladder technology and have two innovative new products to prove it.
Little Giant Safety Cage
First up, the Little Giant Safety Cage, which features a bottom-rung signal and has a 150kg maximum load. The Ground Cue trains the operator to feel and hear an audible alert reminding the staff member it is safe to step off the ladder. The Safety Cage is constructed with a non-conductive, high-strength fi berglass-resin composite. The product is mobile and lightweight compared to other enclosed platform options like scaff olds or powered lifts, so customers can use it in areas like stages or interstitial levels – where a mechanical lift or ordinary stepladder could never go.

The Safety Cage allows operators to work hands-free in any direction in complete safety because, unlike platform step ladders, its wrap-around guardrail actually encloses the operator
completely in total compliance with tie-off rules. The product comes in Little Giant’s patent- pending Hi-Viz Green and provides a self- enclosing platform which is versatile – a safe alternative to ordinary step ladders. Specifi cally, the Safety Cage comprises a full-enclosed platform and a fi ve-inch kick plate and mid-span. Additionally, it has a slim storage profi le; and tip-and-glide wheels for easy transport.
Tubesca X-Tower
The second innovative product within TB Davies’ portfolio is the Tubesca X-Tower, which saw TB Davies join forces with Tubesca-Comabi – France’s market leader for ladders and access equipment. As a result, TB Davies became Tubesca- Comabi’s preferred partner for industrial and professional ranges in the UK. The revolutionary X-Tower is unique in more ways than one: it is both the world’s fi rst industrial telescopic tower and the world’s tallest telescopic tower. This industrial quality tower is designed for regular use and is an ideal option for both site maintenance and the hire industry.
Safe operation
As with all the products TB Davies supply, safety is key. The user is never exposed to a fall while erecting the tower, which can be built within three minutes from the ground to a platform of 2.8 metres (with a working height of 4.8 metres).

The X-Tower’s sturdy structure is designed to avoid jamming problems, and provides a base that is completely captive with no loose parts, set on four locking castors that can be adjusted for use on uneven ground. The X-Tower has only two parts: the tower and the folding, anti-slip platform with a trap door. TB Davies currently sells over a dozen products from Tubesca-Comabi including the Raptor, Profort Xtend, Sherpascopic, MP Pro, and Probat.
