The solution
The Safe Loading Access Platform (SLAP) provides temporary guard railing and access when the driver is required to be elevated on the trailer. The SLAP is supplied as a six metre left or right side unit and can be configured to join end-to-end to form a single twelve metre unit.
The platform features offset castors on the outside of the platform to ensure that if someone was to trip and fall into the guardrail while stepping off the trailer, the platform will not topple over.
Each of these platforms are fully welded, heavy duty platforms and come with integrated safety booms. All of our standard SLAPs have a safe work load of 500kg, equivalent to two people and tools, which we have found to be adequate for the size of the platform and the work sequence.
