The situation
Godfrey Hirst is the largest manufacturer and exporter of residential and commercial carpets in Australasia. First and foremost they required a system that was flexible, enabling minor on-site changes without the need for hot works and fabrication.
The plant consists of a complex conveyor belt system over which access was required. With space at a minimum, the designed systems had to allow worker access, and were to be installed within extremely constricted areas.
An additional challenge was the need for the systems to be adapted to enable seamless integration between the client’s existing platforms and walls.

Solution
As was the case with this manufacturing plant, there was a web of machinery and equipment in difficult to access places and installation of systems to enable operational activities and maintenance can seem a problem with no easy solution. Kattsafe platform and stair systems, an Australian made product, offered the answer.
Many design drawings for multiple configurations were completed to ensure that the platform and stair systems being installed met the client’s requirements and would offer a high level of ease of use for the operators.
The modular design enabled easy delivery and assembly within tight and constricted areas.
The versatility of the Kattsafe platform and stair systems was of great benefit, enabling modifications to be carried out on-site, without the necessity for pre-measuring or welded fabrication.
Areas that were virtually inaccessible can now be easily accessed by personnel, improving time efficiencies and increasing worker safety.
