Tippers
PeoplePanel® for Tippers
Statistically the most dangerous lorries are 32-ton tippers. They are usually built to an off-road specification (known as N3G) yet spend 98% of their time on public roads. Recent advances to introduce lower vehicles (known as N3) into the construction industry are underway but it will be many years before these become commonplace. Despite this, the physics of the side of the vehicle are very similar, so while vision is improved, danger to a person becoming entangled in a moving vehicle is still present.
PeoplePanels® are robust enough to survive tipper work and take falling aggregate, deep water and muddy quarries in their stride. They also help protect vulnerable parts of the vehicles such as air hoses and tanks that are usually mounted to the chassis between the wheels. This is just one more factor that contributes to a return on investment as lorries spend less time being repaired and more time doing what they need to do.
