Apollo Cradles Reaches New Heights In Safety With The FallArrescue

Apollo Cradles, a leading UK specialist in access solutions, improves safety whilst improving worker productivity when working at heights.

Barnsley, South Yorkshire, UK (PRWEB) - Apollo Cradles, renowned as one of the leading providers of mast climbers, cradles and access platform systems throughout the UK, is able to offer national coverage, with depots in Barnsley, Manchester, Gateshead and Birmingham. The company has delivered and been involved in many substantial projects including PD Ports Quayside Repair, Barnsley College Regeneration, Coventry University Building and Hunterston Jetty Repair (Phases 1 and 2), Heysham Forebay Repairs and Humber Bridge Maintenance.

Apollo Cradles is committed to the health and safety of all workers and has introduced the FallArrescue (Fall Arrest and Rescue). This innovative system was manufactured by Getmie Safe, exclusively for Apollo and provides the user with greater confidence whilst working at heights and reducing personal risk. It removes the need for expensive standby personnel. If the user were to fall, they would be automatically lowered to the next level down that would support their weight (normally the ground).
