We have developed delivery and handling systems designed to reduce risk during offloading. DTE has initiatives in place to improve safety in the delivery and installation of trusses throughout the production line. The system includes Trojan Horse pictoral images that warn lorry drivers of the dangers associated with offloading trusses. Key to this safer system is that DTE can supply trusses pre-slung with sacrificial/one use slings. The slings enable the trusses to be lifted from the lorry directly onto the roof or storage area, without anyone needing to get onto the back of the lorry and risk falling from height.
Our regional branch network means wherever you are, we are on your doorstep; providing quality and local service with national distribution.
Depending on your location and access restrictions, we have the flexibility to deliver on either articulated or rigid lorries.
03 / DELIVERY + HANDLING
Safely onto the roof, not onto the ground
We have developed delivery and handling systems designed to reduce risk during offloading. Trusses can be supplied pre-slung with sacrificial one-use slings, so they lift straight from the lorry to the roof or storage area with nobody climbing onto the trailer.
