Used truck warning
February 1st 2010 As an increasing number of
businesses turn to the second hand
forklift truck market, safety
specialist Pyroban warns of the
dangers of buying used explosion
proof equipment and why an EXASA
safety inspection is so
important.
"There is nothing more
dangerous than buying and using a
poorly maintained explosion proof
forklift in a hazardous area.
Unfortunately, buyers are faced with
increasing numbers through auction
websites or through dealers and
customer services manager for safety
specialist Pyroban.
"When Pyroban converts a truck,
it undergoes stringent tests which it
must pass in order to be certified as
ATEX compliant. As soon as it leaves
our factory it is then the user's
ultimate responsibility to ensure it is
properly maintained," he adds.
The dangers are also present on
equipment such as access platforms,
scrubber driers or cranes. More articles from Pyroban Ltd: |
