Caunton helps in developing a major site safety improvement
02 October 2003
|
Caunton Engineering have been working in partnership with Dawson
Construction Plant Ltd. to develop a new shackle for lifting steelwork.
Dawson are a well known major supplier of construction equipment
perhaps best known for piling equipment. The shackle itself has a quick release feature
which allows steel beams to be erected safely with the shackle then being removed without having the
erector access it directly. Other features include speed of attachment and
release and a positive fixing via a pin passing through a pre-drilled hole
in the beam. The greatest benefits of this brand new idea are in speeding
the erection process and in enhancing safety on site. Both these features
are appreciated by construction clients of course. Caunton has concentrated
over the years on increasing safety on site for their own employees, other
sub-contractors and the general public, and the new shackle helps with this
determination. The shackle is presently being marketed by Dawson and looks
to be a winner. For more information contact our Sales Department
