Platform for success

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.
