Booms handle heavy cylindrical products
June 1st 2008 Construction industry
supplier, SIG has purchased
lead booms from Invicta
Forks & Attachments to
reduce manual handling
risks for personnel in its
roofing division.
The booms are designed
to handle heavy coiled or
cylindrical products, such as
steel coils, concrete pipes
and rolls of lead.
Purchase of the lead
booms from Invicta has
enabled heavy rolls of lead
to be handled more easily
and has simplified the
operation of loading them
onto vans.
The need for manual
handling has been reduced
and therefore the risk of
injury lowered.
A key safety features is
the fully-automatic heel pin
retention. This eliminates
any possibility of the
attachment slipping off the
truck's forks during handling
and transporting.
The device operates
automatically as the boom
is lifted off the floor and
automatically disengages
when the forks are lowered
onto the floor. More articles from Invicta Forks & Attachments: |
