ATTENTION! SAFWAY SCAFFOLD OWNERS & USERS IMPORTANT PRODUCT INFORMATION ANNOUNCEMENT
Threaded studs will be replaced without charge
WORKING PLATFORM
New guard rail "Glock opens with slight pressure
WORKING PLATFORM
Locks automatically after guard rail slips into place
SAFWAY has designed a new guard rail retention system for use on standard SAFWAY manufactured scaffolding. The new system, called a "G-Lock"" (patent pending), is not interchangeable with existing guard rail posts. The purpose of this announcement is to urge all users of SAFWAY products to convert their existing guard rail retention systems to the G-Lock system.
The existing guard rail system, which utilizes a threaded stud and wing nut to hold the guard rail in place, is safe when the scaffolding is properly constructed and used. However, it has come to our attention that improper construction and misuse of the existing guard rail system has resulted in a number of accidents, some of which have caused severe injuries. The G-Lock system is designed to minimize such improper construction and misuse.
For this reason the new G-Lock has been incorporated into all SAFWAY inventory and newly manufactured SAFWAY equipment. In addition, we are offering to convert all other existing SAFWAY manufactured equipment to the G-Lock system at our expense.
We urge you to replace your existing SAFWAY guard rail system with the G-Lock system. You simply need to bring your SAFWAY guard rail posts to your SAFWAY dealer for a no cost modification or exchange for modified SAFWAY guard rail posts.
If you have any questions regarding this announcement, contact your SAFWAY dealer or Robert Freuden, Manager, Customer Service, Safway Steel Products, P.O. Box 1991, Milwaukee, WI 53201 (414) 258-2700.
