The door story
The Australian Trellis Door Company’s (ATDC) S04-1 Mobile Trackless Trellis
Barrier System is proving to be an outstanding success.
ATDC recently installed 120 metres of Trackless Barriers at Gosford Town
Shopping Centre in New South Wales.
The job description was to secure eight kiosks situated in the middle of the
centre, with no super structure and no fi xing points or supports. There were
many angled lines and 120 lineal metres of space to secure, and no place
to store the doors.
The versatile S04-1 barrier solved all these difficulties. The absence of fi xing
points posed no problems – since the system is self-supporting – and
it could span an unlimited width at any angle without the need for any
mullions. Storage space was not an issue as the systems could be stored
off the premises.
The S04-1 barriers are proving popular in solving many OH&S issues – they
provide a protective barrier against machinery and can be used to secure
loading docks, blocking public access to factories and warehouses during
trading hours.
