The jaw of the brace must fit flush against the door surface.
The foot of the brace must slot in snugly behind the lashing bar.
As lashing bar positions can vary between container manufacturers, various brace placement locations were included in the WLL rating tests.
Optimised for ease of use, the brace can be used on both left and right sided doors simply by flipping its orientation.
Uncontrolled container doors - whether moved by wind, pressure, or other unintended forces - present a significant WHS hazard, contributing to costly injuries and downtime across global industries, with resulting losses reaching into the billions each year.
Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2020, all PCBU’s (Persons Conducting a Business or Undertaking) have a primary duty of care to ensure the health and safety of their workers whilst they are at work.
This duty of care requires PCBU’s to, as far as reasonably practicable, eliminate risks to the health and safety of its workers. If this is not reasonably practicable, risks must be minimised so far as is reasonably practicable.
