Sunbelt Rentals UK take the transportation of their rental equipment seriously – quality load restraint equipment, used correctly is essential to protect the workforce, cargo and the public from unsafe loads.
To ensure the highest of standards are maintained, Sunbelt hold an Annual External Haulier Conference during their ‘Safety Week.’
SpanSet are the sole suppliers of Load Restraint equipment to Sunbelt Rental UK and offered to support this important initiative and host the conference at our Training Centre.
The day was run in a manner similar to the famous SpanSet Technical Days with live, practical demonstrations on a wide range of Load Restraint issues. The aim was to educate and inform, therefore those attending were encouraged to engage and ask questions.
A Buffet lunch was of course provided.
It was great to see Sunbelt’s Haulier Conference held with us at SpanSet so well attended and receive such positive feedback. I look forward to supporting Sunbelt’s Hauliers with their Load Control equipment and techniques in the near future. Chris James – Technical Solutions Specialist.
Enhancing Driver Safety in Partnership with SpanSet
Strong supplier relationships benefit our people and our customers.
During Safety Week, we’re excited to head to SpanSet’s facility in Middlewich for our annual Haulier Supply Partner Conference.
We've recently entered into a preferred supplier agreement with SpanSet for ratchet straps, and we’re now exploring the possibility of expanding our use of their high-quality products in the near future.
Our decision to select SpanSet as a preferred supplier is driven by several key factors: the superior quality of their products, their reliability as a supplier, the standardisation of straps, and the significant cost savings we've achieved. This partnership also supports ongoing improvements to our health and safety processes, particularly around load security.
By working with trusted, preferred suppliers like SpanSet, Sunbelt is able to maintain its industry-leading position. This allows us to continue delivering an exceptional experience to our customers, in line with our 4.0 strategy.
In addition to providing top-tier products, SpanSet also offers valuable training courses focused on driver safety. Their CPC course on load safety management, accredited by FORS, is particularly relevant to our needs. We plan to incorporate this into Sunbelt’s Driver Induction Course during the next update.
As part of our ongoing driver forum initiative, we’ll continue working with valued suppliers like SpanSet to explore innovative ways of improving load security and enhancing our vehicle fleet.
We look forward to further strengthening this partnership, and to visiting SpanSet’s facility as part of the Haulier Conference on 7th November. Simon Messenger, Director - Sunbelt Logistics
