Fall protection equipment just got a little bit “green”.  Kee Safety has released a new counterbalance for its roof top railing system that is made from 100% recycled PVC.   In addition to being “green” the new counter balances are more ergonomic to carry (less weight, integrated handles), safer to walk around (reflective strips and integrated tread) and available in various colors (grey, orange, and custom). 

Find out more about about KeeGuard on our fall protection page and read a detailed brochure about the new PVC counterbalances.

Kee Safety has released a new warning line  that utilizes some pipe, a few fittings and recycled rubber bases to create a system that meets OSHA safety standards.

As with many of Kee Safety’s products, the focus is on modularity and durability.  Each component is very durable:

• Galvanized Steel Fittings
• Galvanized Rubber Bases
• Stainless Steel Cable & Connectors
• Vinyl Coated Cable
• High Quality Warning Flags

This is not a system that you will have to replace year after year.

Extension kits are available so that you can extend the base kit to any length and configuration.

Contact a sales engineer today to learn more about the Kee Mark Warning Line System.

“Green” building has become a buzz word in today’s building industry. Everyone wants to know how to build with greater respect for the environment. On that note, Kee Klamp fittings have a unique place in the green building industry. Not only is the aluminum line of fittings made from 50% recycled materials, but Kee Klamp fittings are, by their very nature, a reusable component. The Kee Klamp clamping mechanism means that the fitting can be installed permanently or installed again and again. If you are considering using a sustainable building material, consider Kee Klamp fittings, for recyclability and reusability.

Here is the official statement from Kee Industrial Products on their Kee Lite (aluminum) fittings:

The range of Aluminum KEE LITE fittings can all be recycled and reused because the quality of aluminum is not impaired by recycling. The high value of used aluminum makes the process economical and within the building and construction sectors, a high recycling rate of 85% is achieved (source: eaa.net). KEE LITE fittings are made from around 50% recycled aluminum and in common with our entire range of fittings, they can be disassembled and used again.

Recently Offshore Magazine published a small feature on using Kee Lite aluminum fittings to build railings on offshore rigs.
Here is an execerpt:

Kee Industrial Products offers an alternative to traditional welded handrail systems using Kee Lite aluminum or Kee Klamp galvanized steel safety components. These along with 1 1/2-in. (3.8-cm) IPS pipe are corrosion resistant and conform to USCG Refs: 33 CFR 143.110-120 and 46 CFR 108.217-233 for offshore platforms.

The railing systems are designed to reduce the difficulty of installing and repairing platform handrail systems and other safety barriers while maintaining regulatory compliance. Construction requires only simple hand tools for installation, delivering time and labor savings as compared to traditional welded railings.
