Albert Jagger and Austin Hardware & Supply, Inc. have partnered to revolutionise trailer ramp systems with Safe Assist, a patent-pending innovation designed to enhance efficiency, safety, and reliability. Recently, Albert Jagger successfully integrated Safe Assist onto a beavertail vehicle at MIS Conversions, marking a significant milestone in improving vehicle functionality in the fleet conversion industry.
What is Safe Assist?
Safe Assist, developed by Austin Hardware & Supply, Inc., is an innovative trailer ramp system that eliminates the physical strain typically associated with opening and closing ramp doors. Unlike traditional systems reliant on torsion springs and cables, Safe Assist’s concealed design ensures enhanced safety and ease of operation.
Key Features of Safe Assist:
- Effortless Operation: Thanks to uniform weight distribution, users can operate ramp doors with minimal effort - requiring as little as a single finger throughout the motion.
- Enhanced Safety: The fully concealed mechanism eliminates cables and torsion springs, which are prone to snapping or creating tripping hazards. This design significantly reduces the risk of accidents and injuries.
- Corrosion Resistance: The aluminium exterior ensures durability and resistance to harsh environmental conditions, extending the system’s lifespan.
- Reduced Downtime: Safe Assist removes the need for frequent ramp door repairs, minimising vehicle downtime and maintenance costs.
- Versatile Applications: Safe Assist is suitable for various vehicles, including trailers and beavertails, ensuring safety and functionality across industries.
