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.

To tighten down a BoxBolt, an installer must typically use 2 wrenches to install one bolt - one to hold the outer sleeve stationary, and one to turn the inner bolt.

A Faster Way with BoxSok

The BoxSok adds simplicity to the installation process.  Attached to a regular socket wrench (air powered makes this a snap), it takes the place of both wrenches.  The BoxSok has an outer piece that will hold the sleeve of the BoxBolt stationary, while an inner piece turns the bolt.  This makes what would have been a 4 minute job (per bolt) into a 30 second job. 

A "good" reason to buy an "expensive" socket

1. Let’s say that the average installer costs $30.00 per hour to have on site (this usually is a very low estimate)
2. With 2 wrenches, this installer will take approximately 4 min. per bolt to perform the installation, whereas it will take 30 seconds with the BoxSok.
3. Let’s also say that you are installing 1000 bolts
4. If you are saving 3 ½ minutes per bolt, this is equal to over 58 hours of labor.
5. Going back to the original amount that our installer is being paid, this equals $1,740.00 in savings. 

Other BoxSok benefits consist of:

1. Less fatigue on the installer
2. You won’t hold up other aspects of a job while waiting for the bolts to be installed
3. You will be able to get off of the jobsite faster

We have added a new kit from Kee Industrial Products to our web site:

This rear projection screen kit debuted at the recent 2007 Fastener Trade Show held at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. It was the hit of the show. Obviously, the value at a trade show is that the exhibitor does not need to rent an expensive LCD panel or even worse yet… try to carry a big flat panel to the show. The ROI payback is less than one trade show. The exhibitor can also use a simple laptop and LCD projector (something that most sales people have access to and travel with nowadays).

This screen frame is made with durable 1″ anodized aluminum schedule 40 pipe just as you see in the photo. The actual screen is a 36″ diagonal (or 22″ X 29” rectangle) and has a hologram look to it. The novelty catches the eye of the “show goer” and draws attention to your product line and company. This is also great for portable use on conference rooms, small rooms or even at home.

Kit includes frame, screen and base.

“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.

Designed for Safety

KeeHatch is designed for safe egress and ingress through roof access hatches and for protection of the roof opening while the roof hatch is open. Employers are required by law to provide a workplace that is free from recognized hazards. A safety railing system protects workers from roof opening falls that can result in injury.
OSHA Approved

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.23 requires that the exposed sides of openings in roofs or floors have some form of guardrail protection. When the hinged cover for an opening is left up, the exposed sides must be appropriately protected. KeeHatch Safety Railing System meets both OSHA Standards 29 CFR 1910.23 and 29 CFR 1910.27.
