Caljan Rite-Hite Stand Out
In June 2006 a product was launched that would reduce the hazard in many loading bays throughout Europe. By making a small change to the way that trailers are managed, a significant number of accidents could be prevented.
Fitting most types of trailers, the TS-2000 trailer stand is placed under the trailer's nose when uncoupled from the tractor unit. When in position, the stand will prevent the trailer from upending during loading or unloading.
Leading UK animal feed manufacturer, SugaRich, have invested in two trailer stands for use at their Newcastle Under Lyme operation. As it was the first time that they had utilised this supporting apparatus, it was important that they invested in the right product. Paul Featherstone, Commercial Manager at SugaRich commented, »When carrying out my research, I came across the ideal solution from Caljan Rite-Hite. After finding out exactly what this product could do, I discovered that it met all the criteria and that it was perfect for what we needed.«
A simple design, which is highly effective in use, the Trailer Stand has a retracted length of 1050 mm and extended length of 1400 mm, it can support a trailer weighing up to 50,000 kg.
»The trailer stands have become indispensable pieces of equipment, they are robust, strong, thoroughly user friendly and most importantly, they work extremely well.« Paul Fatherstone, Commercial Manager, SugaRich.
