A risk assessment highlighted that the operator had a high risk of injury from bending underneath a tipping body to stow and unstow the wacker from a stationary carrier. Our solution was to design a lifting device that raised and lowered the wacker from underneath the tipping body and allowed the operator to slide the wacker out of the carrier.

The system also incorporates a number of safety features to aid the driver of the vehicle and the operator of the Hydraulic wacker carrier. A two handed operated control box mounted to the nearside of the chassis to stops an operator standing in front of the lowering wacker. The system also features an in cab warning light and buzzer that are mounted on the dash of the vehicle to warn the driver that the carrier is in an unstowed position and a power supply switch to disable the carrier preventing the system being used by unauthorised personnel when the vehicle is stationary.
