Anyone out there come across any companies that manufacture/supply removable safety barriers that can be quickly fitted/removed to the side and rear body of a standard 7.5 tonne tipper.

We are using this type of vehicle to make deliveries of materials to a number of the sites where we are undertaking work. The driver has to regularly climb up onto the tipper body to offload material and/or connect slings/chains etc. One of our concerns is falls from height. Have looked at inflatable bags but the time taken to put in place makes it impractical.Ideally need something that can be in place after a few minutes and does not take up a lot of storage space on the wagon.

Details of any companies (even ones who would consider offering a bespoke product) would be appreciated.

Cheers

Information via this link might make a good starting point. It's a case study regarding one company's approach to what I assume is a similar problem
