Firestopping
Easy To Install
Manufacturer develops a new firestopping technology, the FlameSafe FlowTrak system. It is designed for applications into head-of-wall joints between the top of fire resistive gypsum wall and floor/roof assemblies. It provides a faster, cleaner, simpler and more accurate alternative to conventional stuff and spray technique, the company says. In addition, FlowTrak is an easy-to-install, easy-to-inspect, durable head-of-wall firestopping solution that allows full unrestricted dynamic movement between the drywall and ceiling surface. It also provides solid coverage, which makes it easier to inspect and visually confirm proper installation without the need for destructive testing or sampling.

Safety Strap
Loop Design
This suspension trauma safety strap helps relieve the negative effects of suspension trauma. It allows the worker, who is suspended, to stand up in the harness to relieve the pressure. The strap is easily installed to most harness sizes, styles and brands. To attach, simply choke the pack around the harness web at the hip. After a fall, the packs are quickly unzipped deploying the web loop and hook strap. The continuous loop design allows for either one or two-foot suspension relief without pinching.

Safety Arm Attachment
Designed for Post Driver Units
The new SM-0011-SAA safety arm attachment is designed to enhance post driver operator safety when driving posts into the ground. It is now standard on the company’s new post driver units and can also be fitted on existing units already in the field. The spring-loaded, steel attachment will safely hold a post in the unit at full impact and work with nearly any kind of post, from the smallest round post to large railroad ties. The operator can stand at the required 45û angle, away from the front of the post driver, from start to finish. Use of the safety arm attachment also enables the user to drive a post even straighter than before, says the maker.
