Smarter Design For Safer Fleets: Inside Norweld’ s Tray And Canopy Range
WORDS BY NORWELD
For fleet managers, durability, safety and support aren’ t just boxes to tick, they’ re essential to the success of day-to-day operations and driver wellbeing.
That’ s why Norweld’ s fully welded aluminium ute trays and canopies are built to future-proof fleets, with every feature designed to reduce injury risk, protect assets and keep vehicles on the road.
And with rising pressure on WHS compliance, fleet risk management and duty-of-care obligations, safety can’ t be an afterthought, it has to be built-in from the start.
Slam-Safe Design: Reduce the risk of injury
Every feature in the Norweld Fleet Range is designed with safety front of mind.
Locking slam-safe rear drawer with 2-hand operation safely locks out incrementally, removing the risk of a finger crush injury.
Premium constant torque hinges are available on the Elite Tray, preventing under-tray toolbox lids from falling open.
Drop-down vice holder, designed in-house, stays exactly where you put it, avoiding slams and protecting fingers from being crushed.
Ergo-Safe layout: Comfort and safety on the job
Vehicle setups should protect people as much as they protect tools.
A flush canopy floor eliminates the need to lift over a lip, reducing potential back strain.
Adjustable shelving helps keep gear exactly where it needs to be, within safe, ergonomic reach for every task, everyday.
Safe, secure and weather-resistant
Norweld understands tool security and gear protection can’ t be compromised, which is why the Fleet range includes safety and security features as standard, as well as optional accessories to configure any workspace.
Optional registered high security lock barrels with a single key system can be fitted to all canopy locks, under-tray toolboxes and drawers, providing easy access while keeping tools and equipment secure at all times.
Norweld’ s Canopy Door Gutter system, combined with pinch weld rubber door seals, as well as a positive pressure vent ensures the interior is kept free from water and dust.
Bolt-in partitions organise equipment inside the canopy and creates additional tie down points, while our aluminium multi-rack roof rack provides secure tie-down points for bulky gear up top.
