By engaging with clients at the earliest stages of a project we can always nd a better way to manage temporary height access on sites, says Wilbert Person, national sales manager for New Zealand. “For site managers running projects with complex scopes, budget constraints and tight timeframes, the key di erence SafeSmart can o er is 25 years of experience in solving height access challenges backed by the largest range of stock systems and custom manufacturing capacity. Whether it’s an company policy to minimise the risk of slips, trips and falls on their sites, or a project with a complex temporary works requirement, getting SafeSmart involved in a project early can give you a major head-start on traditional approaches to height access.” SafeSmart Access has been delivering height access solutions to workers across a range of industries since 1999. What started as two brothers manufacturing aluminium ladders and mobile towers in a remote farm shed in Northland has grown into an international presence with a global team of 250 sta operating across New Zealand, the UK, USA, Australia, Canada and more recently in Argentina. The New Zealand operation employs 75 sta , including designers, engineers and fabricators located at 3 branches across the country Maungaturoto, Cromwell and Auckland. SafeSmart Access manufacturers their solutions across a range of ISO:9001-certi ed factories. The main site is in Northland, New Zealand, with additional manufacturing lines in USA, Malaysia and Vietnam. Products include the Proscaf Steel & Aluminium Sca old system, mobile sca olding towers, work platforms, and temporary site stairs. It also stocks aluminium temporary bridges, edge protection, containment products and construction hoists. Wilbert says the company's in-house design and manufacturing capabilities allow it to create bespoke solutions tailored to unique requirements. Clients can rest assured that all designs are carried out to exceed the New Zealand standards. All products are custom coded for quality assurance, and clients receive Safe Assembly and Operation manuals to ensure sta install and operate the products and systems correctly. “While we do a lot of work with the sca old industry, our capabilities spread across almost every industry,” he says. “If there is a height access challenge on you site or you are simply looking for a better way to manage height access, we can help. We work with industrial clients, sca olding companies and construction rms, o ering capabilities that extend well beyond equipment supply, including full after-sales support including maintenance schedules, spare parts supply and ongoing technical assistance.” Recent projects demonstrate this versatility. When a transport servicing company NZ Bus needed access across their eet for general maintenance, they had tight workspaces and a range of work zones from 1m to 5mH. SafeSmart speci ed a specialist height adjustable work platform called the EasyRaise, allowing NZ Bus to keep their engineers safe across all their sites. On a recent large construction site, O Mahurangi - Penlink, an infrastructure project to build a large bridge spanning the Weiti River. The SafeSmart Civil Construction specialist William Wearmouth worked with the site team to provide a range of solutions including a 45mH stair tower and a 21mL bridge. The Cromwell base, which services the Central Otago and Southland regions, has assisted on some high-pro le projects such as Te Kaha Christchurch Stadium, Tiwai Point Aluminium Smelter and Cromwell Memorial Hall & Events Centre, supporting one of our value sca old partners.
