SAFETY & HEALTH EXPO 2019
NEW PALLET TRUCK TAG
INCREASES EQUIPMENT SAFETY
With the new Pallet Truck Tag and Powered
Pallet Truck Tag from Brady Corporation,
companies can increase legal compliance,
support better pallet truck checks and share
inspection results on the equipment itself to
improve pallet truck safety.
INCREASED LEGAL COMPLIANCE
Article 5 from EU Directive 2009/104 / EC states
that equipment, which includes pallet trucks,
should be reviewed regularly by an authorised
person and that these reviews should be
recorded in writing and archived. Brady’s Pallet
Truck Tag and Powered Pallet Truck Tag make
compliance with the directive a lot easier
because they can be attached to pallet trucks
for easy inspection and because they can store
respectively up to 21 or 31 inspection results
and inspector signatures on a removable insert.
BEST PRACTICE EQUIPMENT
CHECKS
On the reverse of each tag, an easy-to-follow
operator checklist is included based on best
practices to support quality equipment checks
in order to achieve best-in-class equipment
safety. Separate best practice checklists are
available for pallet trucks and powered pallet
trucks.
VISIBLE ON THE EQUIPMENT
ITSELF
Both the Pallet Truck Tag and Powered Pallet
Truck Tag holders can easily be fixed to pallet
trucks with a cable tie or adhesive. This enables
all relevant workers to see the latest equipment
inspection status on the equipment itself. A
signature from an authorised inspector will
confirm the equipment was deemed safe to use
after inspection. If the pallet truck did not pass
inspection, authorised inspectors can remove
the insert, leaving a clear ‘do not use’ message
on the holder, informing coworkers they should
use one of the other pallet trucks deemed safe
to use. Both the Pallet Truck Tag and Powered
Pallet Truck Tag can be supplied in a variety of
languages.
