Steel trestle
guardrail system
Added to our range of equipment in May was the Staybills steel trestle guardrail system.
This trestle based safety platform system provides fall protection for persons and objects and provides vastly improved stability combined with integral edge protection compared to normal builder's trestles.
Technical Specification
- Legalises trestles and retains their well known flexible and easy to use reputation
- Provides 1100mm high fall protection for people, tools and materials
- Adjustable in height - Size 3 from circa 1050mm to 1560mm
- Successfully load tested to BS 1139: Part 4
- Fully compliant to the Work at Height Regulations (WAHR 2005) both during erection, dismantling and use
- Handrail system successfully over-turning "topple" tested to BS EN 12811
- Ladder Restraint with integral safety gate
- Spacer bar "controls" the trestle centres, ensures scaffold boards are not over loaded which provides greater load bearing capacity and lateral stability
- Provides Class A Edge Protection to BS EN 13374
- The stabiliser is self levelling and provides full support even on un-flat ground conditions
- No tools required
The Staybills system is available for hire at £7 per metre per week (less applicable discount) + vat. This price includes the necessary scaffold boards.
The steel trestle guardrail system is available from the Access & Support Equipment section of our hire catalogue.
New trailer added to fleet
In May we purchased a new Ifor Williams GD105G general purpose trailer.
With dimensions of 10' x 5' it is a direct replacement for the 8' x 4' general purpose trailer that was recently removed from service. It is a versatile trailer that can be used for many applications inlcuding haulage of machinery and materials.
The GD105G trailer features a loading ramp and ladder rack. The framework is galvanized for maximum durability and the bed is made of hard wearing resin-coated high density plywood.
The Ifor Williams GD105G general purpose trailer is available for hire at £75 per week (less applicable discount) + vat.
