TRATEL, a pioneering company in the transport of bulk and powdered goods, with its head office in GUERVILLE (78), has chosen XPERTIVE to support them in the implementation of the <\/span>prevention<\/span> risks of falling <\/span>height related to the use of a garage pit.<\/span> <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

On the road, you can easily identify the TRATEL company, their yellow semi-trailers and lorries are easily recognisable. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At their BUSSAC FORET site in the south of France <\/span>Charente<\/span> <\/span>Maritime, n<\/span>e carried out a bespoke study on behalf of TRATEL to adapt to their existing pits.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Their 2 <\/span>the workshop<\/span> Tratel Bussac's tracks are 16 m long and do not have sufficiently large rails at the edge of the pit for 'standard' laying. This is a real constraint in our business, because it is impossible to weld our tracks to the pit.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

So we came up with a solution consisting of 6mm-thick sheets of sheet metal anchored to the floor, under which our guides are welded.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to our integrated boiler-making facilities, we can create any type of structure and steel profile, enabling us to adapt to our customers' specific requirements. This freedom allows us to find a long-term solution that gives our customers complete satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the end, the customer chose our patented model, manufactured in our Neuville Sur Sa\u00f4ne workshops. It's the aluminium 25T\/m2 pneumatically powered version that complies with recommendations R468 & R469 and Machine Directive 2006\/42, providing the following benefits:<\/span><\/p>\n

-         <\/span><\/span>Limits the residual risk of falls from height.<\/span><\/p>\n

-         <\/span><\/span>The toughest pit protection on the market<\/span><\/p>\n

-         <\/span><\/span>Allows you to cross over the pit with workshop equipment such as trolleys, mobile columns and pallet trucks without having to go round it.<\/span><\/p>\n

-         <\/span><\/span>Anti-float, extremely stable even when partially closed. It allows mechanics to work on the pit, at the front or rear of the truck in complete safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

-         <\/span><\/span>Installation of the pit cover at slab level. No difference in height between the pit cover and the workshop slab.<\/span><\/p>\n

-         <\/span><\/span>Anti-pinch and anti-crush.<\/span><\/p>\n

-         <\/span><\/span>Very quiet, unlike other models<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the technical nature of the installation, it took our two installers just three working days to complete the entire turnkey service, including :<\/span><\/p>\n
