Unruh Fab, Inc. announces important, new safety feature.

 

Unruh Fab, Inc., in its long-standing commitment to safety in glass handling and transportation, today announced the addition of two (2), rack-mounted inclinometers as standard equipment on all of Unruh's pickup racks and one (1) on their single-sided van racks.

 

The inclinometers provide a distinct, easy-to-read visual reference to the driver of the truck if it is parked at an unsafe angle for loading or unloading. When truck lean exceeds 3-degrees, the driver should be alert to the fact that the glass may be in danger of falling.  Large calibration markings on the inclinometers provide a clear visual indication to the driver of how much the truck is leaning so adjustments can be made to assure safe loading and unloading.

 

As of September 1, 2009, the inclinometers are standard equipment on all of Unruh's pickup and van racks. Unruh can provide a simple to install kit containing one (1) or two (2) inclinometers, labels & mounting instructions for racks already in service.

 

Steve Brown, president of Unruh, said “We feel an obligation to our customers to provide only the most durable, well-built glass rack truck bodies and trailers in the industry.  Without question, safety is part of the product equation. The quality of our racks is second only to safety and we felt an obligation to add the inclinometers for the safety of the people loading and unloading glass.”

 

For over 25 years Unruh Fab has manufactured a wide range of glass hauling equipment and accessories, from light pick up racks to semi truck trailers. Equipment is custom fabricated for single item orders to vehicle fleets and a wide range in between.
