Safety and Efficiency the key behind 40ft Rail Liners by James Williamson

Safety and efficiency were the two words on everyone’s mind with the recent arrival of two 40ft Rail Liners to Porthaul’s new container packing facility in Portland.

The MaxiTrans built rail liners have been designed on the footprint of the existing A-Double skels being used by Porthaul, to enable full access to their existing permits.

Increased safety and efficiency has been met by the in-built roof restrain system, which allows for a quicker loading and unloading process, while also eliminating the need for drivers to use hand binders.

Discussing with the redundant workers any potential positions within Porthaul and supporting contractors, the former IPL employees welcomed the news that Porthaul would be willing to provide training and upskilling for those that were interested in joining the transport industry.

In what was a strong show of solidarity within the community, there were several other industry related businesses in attendance.

25 voluntary participants from throughout the Green Triangle took part in the event. The event which consisted of a presentation, questions and lunch to discuss further topics, was labelled as ‘productive and rewarding’ by the host of the day, Mr Alan Pincott, of Australian Trucking Safety Services and Solutions.

Porthaul maintains a strong focus on safety of both its employees and other road users, and this is another case of Porthaul leading from the front!
