THE SAFE WAY TO INSTALL RACKING OR CARRY OUT A STOCK TAKE

Scissor lifts are the perfect choice for working in narrow spaces

GTAccess offers a wide choice of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) to meet the specific needs of warehouses and distribution companies.

Whether you are installing conventional pallet racking, cantilever racking or custom storage solutions or just completing a stocktake or selecting products for distribution, we've got the right equipment to meet your needs.

Scissor lifts are a great choice for a wide range of warehouse and fulfilment jobs where narrow ailses can prove troublesome. For those harder-to-reach places an articulated boom lift will enable you to work at height both safely and comfortably. With platform heights ranging from 5m to over 20m, there are few places our aerial work platforms can not reach, and with the Access Alliance, our nationwide network of close partners, that's true geographically as well as vertically.

If you are unsure which access platform is right for the task GTAccess are happy to offer free site surveys that will carefully consider site layout, access, noise levels and safety. A powered access platform is one of the safest means for temporary work at height, provided that a risk assessment is done, managers and operators are properly trained and safe use procedures are followed.

RISK ASSESSMENT

Before any work at height operations commence, it is important to assess the following:

1. Is there adequate space available for the operation and/or machinery?
2. Are the ground conditions and topography suitable/stable?
3. Is there adequate safe working distances from overhead services?
4. Is the site access available/unrestricted?
5. Does the application require you to lift vertically or to reach at an angle, perhaps to gain access over an obstacle?
6. Are the operatives adequately trained and proficient to undertake the tasks required?
