When a risk assessment at
Crystalox Solar highlighted
the risk of operators slipping
when using manual loading
trolleys, the solar power
systems component specialist
turned to Wilmat for a
solution.

The problem centred
around the possibility of staff
loading ingots weighing up
to 500kg into cutting booths
slipping on the slurry
produced from the cutting
operation.Wilmat developed
a solution in the form of a
specially designed Bulldog
WHCTS12 Pedestrian
Counterbalance Truck. The
new trucks have reduced the
risks of accidents, while
cutting the manpower
required for the loading and
cutting operation.
