The most effective maintenance programmes make plant and equipment more reliable. Fewer breakdowns mean a decrease in dangerous contact with machinery while having the cost benefits of better productivity and efficiency.
Understanding the Challenge
Extra hazards may occur when machinery becomes defective and develops faults. Maintenance allows these faults to be identified early to manage any risks. However, maintenance needs to be properly planned and carried out. Unsafe maintenance can cause serious injuries and may even result in a fatality. These incidents either occur during the maintenance or to those using the unsuitably maintained/repaired equipment.
Many of SafeSmart’s plant hire & plant maintenance clients face challenges whilst attending to plant equipment that can make a simple task difficult to complete.
The Main Challenges Include:
1. Maintenance of Plant Out On the Field: Having an access platform that will fit into a service van whilst reaching the required heights of the plant.
2. Maintaining Multi-Size Plant: There are many different sizes and model available, which means a height adjustable system can replace multiple fixed height units.
3. Having the Ability to Manoeuver Equipment Around the Plant: Due to the limitations of some yards and sites clients have to work in.
Supplying the Solution: Super Trestle
The Super Trestle is a portable height adjustment work platform. This unique and practical platform folds flat like an ironing board and can be carried single handed. To adjust the platform, simply lie flat and remove lock pin. Lift handle and the spring assisted platform will rise to the desired height. Place locking pin into position and the platform is ready to use.
A New Standard in Maintenance Efficiency
With several points of height adjustment, this platform is by far the most flexible and versatile unit in use today.
“Your days of teetering on the top rung of some old airport steps with no full surround rail are finally over. The Super Trestle is a fantastic ‘Ironing Board’ concept that allows fitters and mechanics to get as close to their task as they can by adjusting the height as they see fit. It’s not only a fantastic access platform but due to the size of the deck it can also be called a work station – Safe and Smart!”
