Driver safety – Bulmor Lancer

 

Bulmor Lancer has introduced a practical access platform designed for all sideloaders with capacities of 10 tons or more.

According to the company the platform makes entry to the cabin safer, saves time and imposes less strain on the driver, especially when the truck is in regular use.

The platform is said to extend by pushing a button from outside the truck — it is operated electrically, so can therefore be used without the truck running. The platform can be retracted once the operator is inside the cabin, with the push of a button.

Bulmor Lancer says there is a safety mechanism that the truck does not travel with the platform outside. Additionally, the company says that platform makes getting in and out of the truck very comfortable as it is possible to stand in front of the cabin as if it were on ground level, instead of ‘swinging’ in.

Bulmor Lancer describes the design as being the “key choice for long, horizontal and deemed as awkward loads — within for example, the steel, piping, timber and window industries”.
