A-Safe is raising the bar on overhead damage prevention

A-Safe is raising the bar on overhead damage prevention

The product has the customers' needs at its heart. It is quick and easy to install and fully height adjustable thanks to heavy duty wires and adjustable gripple hooks. Its use of battery power also means it can be positioned anywhere on site -- with no need to rely on access to a power source. Achieving a two-year battery life, maintenance is kept to a minimum and the plug-and-play battery adaptor makes replacing the batteries a simple task. Thanks to the self-coloured and UV-stabilised polymer composition exclusive to A-SAFE, high visibility is maintained and its inbuilt strength and durability further supports the "fit and forget" solution. This enables warehouse and factory managers to concentrate on the job at hand, safe in the knowledge the technology is doing what it can to safeguard the business assets both in terms of people and property.

As the inventors of the world's first industrial strength polymer safety barrier, A-SAFE's aim across its entire range is to give each customer the tools to create a safer, best practice working environment. "One installed, drivers become more aware of risks, changing behaviours and avoiding incidents before they occur. This gives immediate collision prevention with long-term safety gains" adds A-SAFE's Head of Technologies.
