APAC leading FMCG company, aimed to provide reliable overhead safety system to protect their employees during the task of accessing the tops of trucks for loading and unloading operations.

The Challenge

The FMCG company faced a critical safety issue at their loading bay. Workers needed to access the tops of trucks for loading and unloading operations, which posed a significant fall risk. The company required a reliable overhead safety system to protect their employees during these tasks.

Selecting the Right Solution

  1. Short fall arrest distances
  2. Modular installation for ease and flexibility
  3. Various mounting options for different roof designs
  4. Effectiveness in low ground clearance situations
  5. Lightweight trolley with sealed bearings for hands-free movement

These features made the Kee Track® overhead system ideal for the loading bay environment, where workers needed to operate safely on top of trucks with limited clearance.
