Testimonial: Keith Timber Group

Michael Read explains the reasons behind their decision to implement Roadpod, and the positive impacts it has had on the company.

“Keith Timber Group is an Adelaide-based company specialising in the supply of timber, hardware and building supplies to the South Australian and Western Victoria markets.

​We deliver prefabricated wall frames, roof and floor trusses, so loading trucks at heights is a major component to successfully provide our products and services to our respected clientele.

I’ve worked within this industry for 20 years, and have seen immeasurable trucks being loaded.

A standard load of materials for delivery would easily measure in excess of 2m from ground level. And each week we would load approximately 16 trucks for delivery, give or take, so that’s 16 opportunities for a falling from heights incident to occur in our workplace.

Loading trucks isn’t a task we were able to eliminate, so we went in search of a solution that could help us cut back on the risk of falling from height injuries.  That’s when we discovered Roadpod.

The team at Roadpod specifically engineered a system comprising of 6 x pods measuring 45ft.  
They took into account our current fleet, plant and budget and provided ongoing support right from the start through the completion. They were always on hand to answer any questions that we had and really made it an enjoyable experience.  

Since the introduction of the Roadpod system, we have had zero incidents regarding the loading of trucks at heights as we are now able to load at ground level, something we’ve never been able to do before."
