Accidents caused by lift trucks and other in-plant vehicles have become a major concern for safety-minded company managers, according to Don Otte, executive vice president of Cubic Designs, Inc. The solution is to head off potential accidents beforehand. Protecting valuable plant equipment and safeguarding high traffic areas of your plant is the smart way to avoid unnecessary downtime, costly repairs, and damaged goods.
Otte''s company makes Cubic SafetyRail -- a new industrial safety rail system professionally engineered to protect people and equipment from accidents caused by in-plant vehicles. Cubic SafetyRail stops forklifts, sweepers, and other in-plant vehicles and prevents accidents that result in downtime, damaged machinery, costly repairs, and employee injury. The heavy-duty rails guard various building systems such as compressors, water mains, gas pumps, and electrical control panels. Additionally, Cubic SafetyRail is used to protect robotic equipment, in-plant offices, shelving, mezzanines, rack systems, building walls, conveyor runs, raw material supplies, finished product, building support columns, loading dock areas, and more.
"More and more companies are installing safety barrier-type products to safeguard plant areas in order to avoid catastrophic losses," says Otte. "Cubic SafetyRail is the most durable safety barrier product on the market today. This product was tested by an independent testing firm and proven to withstand the impact of a 10,000 lb forklift moving at 5 mph."
In addition to offering superior strength, Cubic SafetyRail also offers easy installation. An exclusive, patent-pending Quik-Connect rail hanger dramatically reduces installation. Quik-Connect hangers easily attach to Cubic SafetyRail columns. Rails are then slid into the hangers to complete the installation. The Quik-Connect hanger ensures that all safety rails are removable for easy access to equipment and makes it easy to add railing sections or dismantle railing for relocation. Other competitive guardrail or safety barrier products on the market offer removable rails but only as an option, not as a standard. Those products also require tools for installation and dismantling of railing -- Cubic SafetyRail does not require tools for railing installation.
Cubic SafetyRail is protected with an attractive, durable, powder coat finish available in 14 colors -- more colors than any other manufacturer. Standard yellow is offered for immediate shipment (within 48 hours or less after approved order). Custom colors and finishes also available upon request.
