Loads of benefits from aide Lee Lock
aide automotive’s portfolio of products for commercial vehicle applications includes the Lee Lock, a locking device for pallet trucks.
“Many transport companies require a pallet truck to manoeuvre goods on customer premises; with this the operator has three major concerns,” said the company.
“Will the pallet truck damage the goods in transit? Will the pallet truck damage the curtains on the truck? If using a tyre to semi-secure the pallet truck, will the operator incur back injury lifting the heavy truck into the tyre? If yes is the answer to any of the above, then the pallet truck lock, Lee Lock, is the answer.”
The Lee Lock is designed to lock the pallet truck in place at all times, reducing any chance of the truck slamming into other pallets or slashing the curtain side – and as the pallet truck slots into the lock, there’s no chance of any back injury from lifting, says aide.
“Lee Lock addresses a fairly widespread health and safety problem in a simple but ingenious way,” the firm continued.
“As fleet managers are becoming increasingly concerned with the potential long-term costs of health and safety risks, the modest one-off price for the Lee Lock is an attractive solution.”
Investment in the Lee Lock will result in reduced repair costs and insurance claims on damaged goods, says aide, as well as avoiding the risk of driver absence due to injury.
The Lee Lock can easily be retrofitted to any trailer. The T-bar Lee Lock handle is used to secure the pallet truck under the floor mounted plates.
