Contact Attachments unloads pressure of moving debris

Contact Attachments has partnered with a leading manufacturer of thermal spray equipment and consumables to provide it with a manual handling solution to load and unload. Based in Mid Wales, Contact Attachments supplies its range of Low Loading Swarf Skips to clients across the length and breadth of the country, and recently provided one to leading manufacturer, Metallisation, to enable its staff to load and unload waste, debris, scrap or machine parts with ease. Due to its lower overall height than the traditional skips provided by Contact Attachments, the Swarf Skip can fit into spaces where height is restricted, such as conveyor or presses, and provides the ideal solution to clients looking for a forklift attached skip for a diverse range of uses, including collecting debris and waste. Steve Moore, R&D Engineer at Metallisation, explained: “We’re extremely happy with the Low Loading Skip provided by Contact Attachments, as it provides us with added safety during the loading and unloading our debris and machine parts or blanks, and also allows us to tip it directly into our main scrap skip, removing the need to transfer the products and debris manually.” Metallisation Ltd is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of Thermal Spray equipment such as Arcspray, Flamespray, Plasma, HVOF and Automated Spraying Systems. Jason Cadman, Technical Sales Consultant at Contact Attachments, commented: “Our Low Loading Swarf Skips are a really popular product with our diverse range of clients across the UK, and we’re thrilled to have helped Metallisation alleviate the pressures of transferring what can be heavy and difficult to move loads. “With a watertight construction, our Low Loading Skips will collect debris whilst ensuring that no liquid can escape from the skip – preventing any spillages or leakages on factory or warehouse floors. It’s manufactured from 3mm side plates and 5mm base and rear plates, and comes in a variety of colours if specified to suit branding.” Like all of Contact Attachments’ products, the Low Loading Swarf Skips are fully tested and 'CE' marked and supplied with Certificate of Conformity, to meet the latest Health & Safety Regulations. Contact Attachments has been designing and manufacturing forklift truck attachments from its base in Newtown, Mid Wales, for over 40 years and is recognised as the quality leader of truck attachments in the UK.
