tonnes. Each platform has forklift
pockets allowing it to be easily

variable heights. To ensure safe
spanning of any gaps the front edge
of each platform has a 4mm thick,

director at Transdek.
According to statistics available
from the HSE, around 2000 workers
are seriously injured every year as a
