New Solutions at Work: Small Vehicle Visibility Flags; Top Handler Spreader Container Deflectors & YAK TRAX – A Simple Solution for Slippery Conditions

Please see below for information on these 3 new Solutions at Work: 

Small Vehicle Visibility Flags

Small vehicles are difficult to see as they are driven around the terminals amongst the stacks of containers.

Top Handler Spreader Container Deflectors

Overlapping containers present hazards to top handler equipment operators while working in container stacks. The potential exists for containers in adjacent cells to be inadvertently caught and hoisted by the top of the spreader causing containers to topple.

YAK TRAX – A Simple Solution for Slippery Conditions

Many areas of yards and terminals are slippery in the winter months due to ice and snow. Yak Trax is a simple slip-on cleat that provides better traction on ice and snow.
