Awide range of safety aids and
accessories are available from
Thorworld Industries. All
are designed to provide a safer, more
productive working environment
and help fulfil some of the statutory
health and safety regulations.

Included are products to prevent
vehicle creep, such as wheel chocks
which are positioned in front of the
wheels to stop movement. There are
four standard Thorworld Chock-it
wheel chock types, including moulded
rubber versions, which are available
in a variety of sizes, together with
cast aluminium and steel models.

For enhanced safety, a special cast
in movement switch is available. This
can be linked to other devices such
as traffic lights, dock levellers, a
Dockloada lifting platform and
doors, to instantly alert staff if any
vehicle movement is detected.

A method of preventing
unintentional pull-away is via a
trailer safety lock which is fitted to a
parked trailer once the air hose has
been disconnected; this prevents the
driver connecting the trailer and
driving away.

Thorworld also offers four traffic
light systems that can be used with a
wheel chock incorporating a built-in
movement switch, with a manual
on/off switch, or in conjunction with
an automatic sensor.
