Spillard News

Spillard Safety Systems of Gailey in Staffordshire has supplied and installed complete safety packages on £2.5M of new Caterpillar equipment recently purchased by Wolverhampton based Stokey Plant Hire. Each package comprises a convex mirror, rear view camera system, orange strobe light, fire extinguisher and seat belt linked to an external flashing green indicator light.

Stokey currently operates a fleet of nearly 40 large Cat machines, all of which are fitted with Spillard products, and its policy over almost four decades has always been one of ‘no compromise’ when it comes to operating safety.

Commenting on this high level of safety awareness, Stokey’s chairman Bob Collins said: “As I have the best interests of everybody at heart, I personally participate in the implementation of our strict safety policy which seeks to prevent anyone from sustaining an injury wherever our plant is working.”

For 14 years Spillard Safety Systems has specialised in the supply and installation of all round vision solutions, helping users of construction equipment comply with Health & Safety regulations. Part of these regulations require that devices be fitted on work place vehicles in order to remedy inadequate direct vision.

To assist operators of mobile plant, Spillard has undertaken a large number of detailed visibility studies to provide customers like Stokey Plant Hire with an independent viability risk assessment for their vehicles.
