SPANCO Rigid Lifelines Names Bode Equipment Company Exclusive Distributor for Massachusetts and Northern New England States
Londonderry, NH (PRWEB) May 02, 2016 -- Bode Equipment Company (Bode), New England’s premier provider of material handling, overhead door and loading dock solutions, is pleased to announce that it has been named the exclusive, regional distributor for SPANCO Rigid Lifelines in four states. Bode will be the sole supplier in New Hampshire, Vermont, Eastern Massachusetts and Maine of this innovative line of fall arrest and fall restraint systems.
A division of leading crane manufacturer, SPANCO, Rigid Lifelines offers a full line of solutions for common industrial and construction setting fall hazards including portable and permanent fall protection systems. Rigid Lifelines fall protection systems exceed OSHA standards and ANSI guidelines through the use of a unique horizontal steel track system.
“Safety has always been the top priority for our company and customers,” states Scott Fawcett, President and CEO of Bode Equipment. “We’ve put our faith in SPANCO products for years and are pleased to represent another quality product line from their company.”
While wire rope fall protection is widespread and OSHA approved, it fails to fully protect a worker because of rope sag. This additional slack can extend a fall by as much as eight feet, putting workers at risk of injury as they come in contact with outcroppings, ladders, or even the ground. Rigid Lifelines fall protection systems are built using a rigid horizontal track that workers connect to using a self-retracting lanyard on a moving trolley for easy lateral movement. During a fall, Rigid Lifelines provide protection as soon as the self-retracting lanyard locks, eliminating rope sag and the potential for injury.
“In addition to being more secure than wire rope fall protection, Rigid Lifelines are also cost-competitive with wire rope systems,” adds Fawcett. “They’re a perfect fit for our customers who expect top-of-the-line solutions that deliver outstanding value.”
