Used in the oil and gas industry worldwide, Tools at Height benefits many other sectors where a dropped tool could injure personnel, damage machinery or cost production time: High-level uses (derricks, wind turbines, cranes, buildings, bridges, telecom towers, power lines, railway gantries, aircraft hangars); Low-level uses (stop tools dropping into turbines, machinery, food production lines, underground shafts, falling overboard); Design and Engineering (Tools are modified to accept lanyards that can be attached to the operator's wrist, belt, harness or to a site tether point).
Standard tool kits are readily available or Snap-on can build kits to suit your specific requirements.
Tool cabinets are fitted with coloured hard foam drawer inserts in which the profile of each tool is cut.
You can quickly check that tools have been returned and identify any left at the workplace in error.
Tools can be colour-coded to differentiate them from conventional tools and/or be laser engraved with your company name, logo, serial number or bar-code.
Tools at Height kits, tools and accessories are available from Snap-on's UK Industrial Service Centre.
