Road Transport - Never Fall From Your Work Height - Know You Are Safe

Standfast developed its first TRAM safety system to protect road tanker drivers carrying bulk fuel, oil and dry powder. It was clear that workers in this industry were particularly at risk of falls from height and that the safety facilities typically provided on the tanker top did not prevent such falls. A number of serious injuries and deaths had occurred that could have been avoided if the right safety system was available.

The invention of the TRAM safety system has had a significant impact on height safety in the petrochemical industry and it is in this industry that the majority of TRAM systems continue to be sold and fitted.

Conventional lifeline systems may snag on fittings on the top of the tanker, pulling the user off-balance and potentially accelerating their fall on to the tanker top. In contrast, should a worker connected to a TRAM lose their footing while on the tanker top, they will quickly be brought back to a position of safety with the lowest possible risk of injury and no risk of a fall over the side. No other safety system in the world offers the same level of protection. When connected to a TRAM you can not fall.

 

Accessing and working on top of road tankers presents a major health and safety risk to employees. TRAM is a height safety system designed specifically for use on insulated road tankers. The system permits its operators to safely access and work on the top of the tank. As well as preventing falls on the platform, TRAM provides protection and assistance in making the transition between the ladder and the platform.

TRAM can also be used in grain quality control as it allows the user to access the top of the truck in complete safety to take grain samples for analysis and grading.

No other safety system in the world offers the same level of protection.

Keeping cattle upright during stock transport is a major issue for the cattle industry, which loses millions of dollars each year through carcasses being bruised or injured during transport. Those responsible for preventing cattle going down during transport are exposed to serious fall risks due to both the height of the cattle truck and the presence of livestock. During compaction or after stock transport, TRAM allows the worker to access the grate at the top of the stock truck in complete safety.

TRAM's unique design promotes stability when moving along the grate. It allows workers to move efficiently, knowing there is no risk of a fall through the grate or over the side of the truck.
