Guys,
Had an issue with our FLT's and the warehouse floor surface when it gets wet and then inevitably greasy.
In place is a weekly deep clean and degrease, reduced speed FLT's to an acceptable safety level whilst not inhibiting production levels. Add to this 'apparently' a tyre designed for the conditions mentioned, to limit skidding. Oh, and a non-slip covering and spray across the warehouse floor (although I have little confidence in this covering)
Thing is, I have been down with the guys in the warehouse to watch one of the drivers going onto the brakes and sliding 6 foot or more.
Anyone come across any even better solutions? There are the obvious but im talking in terms of increasing traction etc.
Thanks

First thing i'd do is check the FLT drivers under pants C:

I wouldn't fancy that job myself, definitely not a career path I'd choose.

I think I'd be telling him to mind his own business

Weve used the non slip coating that you find on the roads, by zebra crossings. They improve grip no end.
Great to see a sense of humour on the board by the way. Sadly lacking in this industry.

PL, I don't know what it's called but I think it's made by 3M (purveyors of all things sticky) and contains recycled glass bottles.
Chris,
Other ideas that spring to mind are speed restrictors on the FLT's (though this may affect lifting performance if they are diesel); or partially enclosing the loading area with some sort of semi-permanent structure like a super sized awning to prevent the ground getting wet (though high winds might be an issue).

Hi Jonathan,
No these use bauxite (harder wearing). 3M and Rocol do versions for interior use.
