As the leading supplier of roll cage tugs, Tractive Power knows the importance of roll cages across a range of industries.
Roll Cages Explained
The movement and loading of these pieces of equipment can result in injuries if they are manually handled by staff instead of a powered pusher. Industry statistics suggest that companies that use roll cages frequently have logged up to a third of their accidents as roll cage related. Injuries could be from –
- Pushing or pulling up slopes
- Trying to prevent roll cages overbalancing
- Repetitive loading and unloading
- Trapping hands and feet
- Roll cages falling off lorries during loading/unloading
The Design of Roll Cages
The construction and design of roll cages are important with the frame needing to be robust and rigid with shelf arrangements designed for long-term use. Larger diameter wheels will reduce pushing/pulling forces with castors fitted close to corners to improve stability. Handles will be added at a height of roughly 1000mm to move fingers away from corners of the cages.
