A leading forklift truck accessory
provider is celebrating international
success after securing a prestigious
ports and docks contract. Contact
Attachments has designed and
manufactured a bespoke Aerial
Rescue Platform to help ports and
docks management authorities
salvage injured crew from ships. The
product has been produced
especially for HEF in Belgium, and
has been installed at Antwerp docks.

The platform is capable of holding
up to eight people plus a stretcher,
has self-closing and automaticlocking
gates for additional security,
and is protected by a salt-resistant
coating. It conforms with current EU
regulations and exceeds new Safety
Port Authority Regulations.
Joe Headley, international business
development manager for Contact
Attachments, says feedback has been
extremely positive and that the
company recently sold two other
bespoke rescue platforms to an oil
company in Syria.
