England-based Towne Lifting and Testing has completed the installation of a bespoke height safety system designed to function under a 40t lifting frame.
The system addresses operational needs where multiple users require secure access within confined spaces and where precise load distribution is essential.
The company engineered the solution in response to specific structural limitations at the site while ensuring that work could proceed smoothly without interruption.
The twin-cable system, manufactured by Towne Lifting, integrates directly with the existing lifting infrastructure and is designed to deliver consistent performance in an industrial environment.
The company reported that the design accommodates the movement of operatives beneath the frame and meets requirements for user safety at height.
Towne Lifting said: “This project is a great example of how engineering expertise and adaptable height safety systems can overcome challenging access requirements while maintaining safety and operational efficiency.”
Towne Lifting and Testing, which has supplied lifting equipment and safety systems since 1948, operates from branches in Newcastle, Hull, and Stockton.
The company originally began providing wires to shipping trawlers during the Second World War and is led by managing director Tom Towne.
It remains a third-generation family business, serving both local and international clients with an emphasis on maintaining safety and reliability in lifting operations.
In January this year, Towne Lifting & Testing resolved ongoing faults in the radio control system of an overhead crane at a structural steel fabrication facility by installing surge attenuation devices.
