Guard Rail Protects Walkways From Unseen Truck Forks
22nd September 2017
The industrial workplace is ever-changing – and as it changes the health and safety demands of the workplace change with it.
When one high profile customer of industrial safety expert McCue expressed a need to protect walkways from the potential danger of protruding ground level forklift truck forks, McCue’s R&D team were called into action.
Polyethylene pedestrian barriers are becoming an integral part of intelligent health and safety procedures in facilities. The products organise a facility and segregate pedestrians from moving vehicles – in turn this creates an optimised, more efficient facility with a long-lasting, low maintenance product.
But what about those forklift forks protruding under the barriers and on to walkways?
McCue’s R&D team solved the problem by delivering the ultra-strong, multifunctional FlexCore Guard Rail. The handrails still guide pedestrians and organise a facility, but a reinforced ground level rail with hidden hardware offers an extra strong layer of protection – and the ability to deflect intrusive forks and keep workers safe.
The FlexCore Guard Rail can be used with a variety of McCue products to offer customers comprehensive protection across an entire facility.
