SafeLoader vs Hangman Systems – A Smarter Way to Reduce Falls from Trucks

Falls from height continue to be the leading cause of workplace injuries and fatalities across the UK. During truck loading and unloading, the risk is especially high when workers climb onto trailers or unstable structures without proper edge protection.

That’s where SafeSmart Access’ SafeLoader stands apart – offering a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional hangman systems, which are still commonly used on UK worksites despite their limitations.

What’s the difference?

Hangman systems focus on fall arrest – catching a person after they’ve already fallen. The SafeLoader is all about fall prevention: reducing the risk of falling in the first place with purpose-built safety features.

With it’s 45-degree stair access, grippy platform surface, interchangeable rails, and safe working load capacity of 500kg, the SafeLoader delivers confident access in high-risk environments.

 

Use Cases

  • Daily truck loading and unloading
  • Warehouse logistics
  • Fleet and heavy vehicle maintenance
  • Energy, mining, and infrastructure works
  • Events and stage setup

 

Zero Falls means zero compromise

During No Falls Week, let’s re-evaluate the equipment we trust to keep workers safe. If your worksite is still relying on outdated hangman setups, it might be time to step up to a smarter system. 

Safer Access. Smarter Loading. That’s the SafeLoader
