Queensland's Fulcrum Suspensions display a responsible attitude when it comes to Occupational Health & Safety requirements for their employees.

All their delivery vehicles are equipped with Australian Standards approved Milford Cargo Barriers to protect their drivers in accident situations. With the small but relatively heavy suspension components loaded behind the Milford barrier, Fulcrum's staff are safe from shifting cargo should their vehicle have even a minor accident or an emergency stop situation.

Fulcrum's managing director, Graham Scudamore-Smith, said he believed many motor industry personnel were not aware of the legal requirement for cargo barriers in parts delivery vehicles. He suggested business owners should research the availability of an Australian Standards-approved barrier before purchasing any vehicle, as some of the small hatch-type vehicles may not have one available. Milfords have a large range, and recently released one for the popular Toyota Echo Hatch.

Fulcrum Suspension use Hyundai Excel hatchbacks and find that with a cargo barrier installed, the vehicle is both safe and practical for spare parts deliveries. Drivers still have excellent vision for parking, and they can stack bulky items to roof height.

More information on their range of cargo barriers and distributors can be found on Milford's website on www.cargobarrier.com. Enquiries relating to their network of Australia-wide fitting agents can be directed to their free call number 1800 683 577.
