Testimonial: Langs Building Supplies

Why did you decide to implement the Roadpod system into your business?

‍

“Our core business is the supply of timber frames and trusses, and loading trucks is a major component to successfully providing our products and services to our valued clients.
‍
Working within this industry for so many years, I’ve watched countless trucks getting loaded.

A typical load for delivery for us would easily measure in excess of 2m from ground level, which is a dangerous height to be working from. And with the number of loads we were running each week, it was just too risky.

Because our numbers were high, we knew we needed to do something to reduce, if not eliminate, the risk of injury to our employees and, in turn, create a safer working environment.

The team at Roadpod specifically engineered a system to suit our current fleet and since implementation, we’ve increased the safety of our employees while loading trucks at heights.

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.  As materials are pre-slung, there is no need for anyone to work at heights while unloading the pod.

After the first of our fleet was fitted with Roadpod and trialed in the yard we noticed that it also benefited the company commercially. Not only did we increase productivity by having our ground crew pre-load deliveries ahead of time, we were able to triple the number of deliveries made each day.

Due to the success of the Roadpod system, we are currently fitting our whole fleet with this revolutionary design.

Before Roadpod, our delivery schedule could never keep up with fabrication but now fabrication can’t keep up with delivery"
