One Tonne SWL Load Tested Stillage

Traditionally reinforcing bar for the construction industry has been delivered to site in canvas bags, but not always safely. On numerous occasions the weight and shape of the bars has caused the bags to rip with the potential to cause serious accidents.

A design brief was therefore issued to manufacture a stillage:

- With the Strength to Handle Steel Bar

- Safe Working Load Rating up to 1 Tonne

- With a LOLER Test Certificate

- With an Identification Number for Traceability

Ridgeway designed a simple stillage complete with feet to allow for space saving stacking and lugs to enable lifting by crane. Each stillage was stamped with a serial number relating to a LOLER test certificate so that it complied with Health and Safety criteria.
