Handling long loads safely - all you need to know

HUNDREDS OF avoidable accidents happen every year due to the misuse of forklift trucks. Long loads in particular are often handled incorrectly, despite the fact there is a machine built for the job… Baumann sideloaders discuss the three ways in which the majority of accidents happen and the key to safer handling for long load applications such as timber, steel, plastics and concrete. 

The presentation will be made by Tony Benson, Global Marketing Manager, Baumann Sideloaders and Mark Bann, Sales and Marketing Director, Baumann UK.

Video-led, the presentation will give attendees the opportunity to tackle key safety hot spots and see innovative technology in action.

The presentation will also draw on a number of recent, large-scale, global case studies from Canada to Barcelona and more.

There will also be time to out questions to these handling experts.
