Wildeck Introduces New Laddergard(TM) Safety Swing Gates to Guard Hazardous Openings
Strong structural steel design meets OSHA 1910.23 safety requirements and protects personnel at ladder and stair openings. Waukesha, WI - Wildeck, Inc. - Continuing its rapid expansion in the area of plant and facility safety products, Wildeck, Inc. has added two rugged Laddergard(TM) Safety Swing Gates that protect personnel at potentially dangerous openings, including: loading dock ladders; mezzanine or work platform ladders; rooftop access ladders; maintenance access ladders; stairway openings; equipment and machinery platform ladders and stairs; and other applications. "One of the first installations of our new Laddergard(TM) safety swing gate was to protect Wildeck's own loading dock truck pit ladder which drivers climb every day to access our shipping and receiving area," states Ron Burke, Director of Manufacturing at Wildeck. "Besides the safety railing that surrounds our truck pit, the new Laddergard(TM) gate has added an additional measure of safety for truck drivers and delivery personnel in this high traffic area."
