Protecting your valuable staff & equipment
The prevention of accidents is a top priority in every reponsible workplace. Injuries to staff, damage to equipment and unecessary down-time are all the undesirable consequence of poor maintenance or inadequate resource protection. By using high quality protection deveices such as whip-checks or cable support, the possibility of these events occuring is great minimised.
Unilift® Whip-checks
Whip-checks are a cable & hose retention system designed to protect operators from injury (or even death) and damage to equipment should a tensioned cable or high-pressure hose accidentally become disconnected during use. Rather than whipping around in an uncontrolled fashion, the whip-check grips & limits the available movement of the loose end until the fault can be rectified. Unilift whip-checks can be manufactured in a range of sizes and ratings. Please contact us for further information.
