ACCESS ENGINEERING

The worldwide leader in man riding hoists (Tirak® ) from 300kg to 2,000kg, we design a full range of temporary or permanent access equipment (standard or purpose built).

Tractel is greatly experienced in the conception, design and installation of solutions for access to derrick towers, maintenance of offshore platforms as well as access to chimneys, LPG tanks, confined space or bridges.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

The single biggest risk to life and safety of people working in industry is falling from height. Tractel designs a wide range of temporary and permanent personal fall protection to suit a variety of working applications. Product range includes:

• Full body harnesses and lanyards
• Retractable lifelines
• Rope grabs and adjusters
• Confined space equipment
• Rescue and recovery devices

In higher risk environments we often rely on equipment for our personal protection. The level of protection afforded is very much dependant on how it is used and maintained.

TRAINING SOLUTIONS

Our training solutions have been specifically designed to meet the needs of workers who are exposed to the risks associated with work at height. Training focuses on providing the necessary 'hands-on' practical skills and theoretical knowledge required to ensure competence.

Tractel works closely with interested parties within industry, trade associations and standards bodies to ensure that your solutions not only meet statutory requirements but are also completely up to date. Tractel's training range includes:

• Fall protection
• Industrial access
• Rescue and evacuation
• Specialities (fire brigades, police, etc.)
• Additional services (lifting and slinging, mechanical load handling, system adequacy appraisal and reporting, etc.)
