No risk of falling from vehicles

Working at Height - Climbing onto vehicles creates a risk of falling and injury.  Trying to reduce this risk with extra fall protection precautions and risk assessment paperwork can be a real headache.

• Slinging - Tower crane or truck mounted crane offload requires the driver to climb onto the back of the truck for slinging. 

• Tail-lift - Even using a tail-lift creates a risk of falling from the vehicle.  Factors such as the weight of the pallet and slopes can dramatically increase this risk
   
• Manual Handling - unloading the vehicle manually invariably demands the operative to mount and dismount the delivery vehicle often many times per delivery and multiple times per day posing a high risk of falls occurring.

The Solution - The Palfinger truck mounted forklift completely removes the need to climb on and off the delivery vehicle.  Quick, safe and easy unloading with no working at height problems.

In a tower crane situation the Palfinger truck mounted forklift can unload the truck, then slinging can be done at ground level for the tower crane to make the lift.
