Forklift jibs reduce risk

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

Contact Attachments has supplied its Forklift Jibs to Cobham Composite Technologies (CTT), providing the world-leading communications and navigation firm with a safer alternative to lift, move and place heavy tools and equipment at its site in Wimbourne.

James Cooper at Cobham Composite Technologies said: “We move heavy and potentially dangerous tools and machinery across our site on a daily basis, and our employees are often responsible for the accurate positioning and placement of the tooling which can be physically draining. We called upon Contact Attachments as their competitively-priced Forklift Jibs matched our stringent health and safety requirements better than anything else on the market.”

He added: “The Forklift Jibs have significantly reduced the risk of accidents occurring, which can often happen when people handle heavy materials manually, and have been a real hit with our team.”

Contact Attachments’ Forklift Jibs come in a range of sizes, including low level jibs for working in vertically confined spaces, extendable jibs for added reach, and high lift jibs to reach elevated areas.”
