Krueger releases restraint system to improve operator safety while working on top of trailers
December 7, 2009
Melbourne trailer manufacturer Krueger has developed a restraint system to improve operator safety while working on top of trailers.
Using a series of carbon impregnated rollers running in an extruded aluminium track, the Top of Trailer Safety Device is attached to the operator with an approved safety harness.
The aluminium track runs the full length of the trailer or body, and stays clear of overhanging loads, allowing the operator a full range of movement while working on the top of the trailer.
The operator also has a brake mechanism that locks the device in place to allow employees to work safely on loading and unloading tasks, giving the operator full control at all times.
Originally designed and developed for Metropolitan Express and Bluescope, the Top of Trailer Safety Device is stored at the front of the trailer when not in use.
