“‘U-Treds’ have revived worn-out tread on grid mesh walkways and have increased the traction of the grid-mesh, which has delayed the need to replace sections of grid mesh passages. The U-Treds are installed easily on-site, and clip directly onto the Grid Mesh. As well as improving traction on the walkways, the U-Treds are painted yellow for high visibility.”

“We installed U-TREDs on our rail crossover, this access way is used frequently daily and has had a positive response from the users on the product installed. We decided to install 2 rows of anti slip U-Tred per step in this instance as a trial run. I believe that maybe one row would suffice. A great savings per tread when we are looking at hundreds.”

“We trialed these over the last few months and found them to be quicker, easier and better than any anti slip stair tread we’ve used previously!”

“The U-Tred is a great product that we’ve used nearly exclusively to replace worn non-slip treads around site, the only exception that comes to mind was on a walkway up an incline (conveyor) where there were no treads fitted, and the grid mesh was too narrow in the grids to fit the U-Treds. Aside from that, a great thing.”

“I found them easy to install. I installed 500 odd in about 4 hours. Once into a routine they were a breeze to fit. I installed them onto the treads of Alcoas highest tower, in all 12 flights of treads. Once fitted, 5 clips per tread. The clips – colour make the tread very visual, and once your boot is on the tread clip, totally eliminated the chance of slipping. Down the track we may fit more in high traffic areas. We also fitted a number on our shiploader gangway, also reducing slipping on aluminium steps.”

“A while ago we had a guy miss a step whilst descending from one of our machines. This ultimately resulted in an LTI and surgery was required. We have installed the non slip U-Tred to all our ladders where we can and found there to be no more incidents of this nature. I would recommend this product to anyone who deals with access and egress concerns.”

“The simplicity of U-TRED is what is good about it. All you need is a light hammer and away you go. We have installed them at our Crushing circuit which is quite muddy, the anti slip treads still give good grip and they don’t look like ever falling off.”

“This product has been a valuable addition to our plants with some aging access areas that needed to be repaired. The U-TRED is easy to install and is a neat tidy looking fitting that cleans easily. We have recently purchased more to continue installing them around our plants.”

“I found the U-TRED Anti-Slip stair tread to be an effective solution for the mesh stairways in our washery, the ease of installation greatly reduces the installation time and costs.”

“The feedback I have received from the boys has been excellent. They have made the walkways that we have put them on safe and slip free, which is a very good outcome considering the amount of oil that end up on them.”

“A slip and fall down a flight of steps or from any mobile plant can have devastating potential consequences, firstly to the injured employee and the business. The ease in which the U-TRED product is installed eg No drilling and bolting, no lengthy process for Hot Works e.g. welding in new steps the
U-TRED fits hand in hand with our site hazard observation programme.

Step 1 Slippery/worn step is identified,
Step 2 Hazard is Documented and recorded,
Step 3 U-TRED installed within minutes.”

“I have just been told we have used all of the 5000 U-Treds we ordered, so I would think there will be another order some time. We are very happy with them so far and would like to see if they last.”

“The boys are impressed with your product, we are using them where other non slip treads have failed or gone missing.”

“U-TRED was a very quick and efficient way to fix up the walk ways and stairs on our underground plant, prior to discovering the U-TRED we would have had to replace the stairs with new ones which would of stopped our production while we swapped them out.”

“I found them very easy to fit and the comments about them has been very positive.”

“The U-Tred has put grip back into some well worn steps around our mill and has helped reduce slips in this area.”

“Here is what we have found so far with this product: Easy installation.  I put these on myself with no disruption to the plant. Less cost than the normal nose cone treads. Does not come loose like the bolt on nose cone tread (we have replaced some loose nose cone tread with the U-Tred clips). The only issue we have had is that some of the step gaps were too small to take the U-Tred clip, after examining the steps we found that it was a fault with the steps not the U-Tred”

“Those U-Tred’s, If they didn’t work we wouldn’t be still buying them. In short they are a bloody good money saver on install and labour time. The first lot have had a bloody big workout and are going great, we will be using them in every possible place we can on site and will be back for more when we run out.”

“Awesome product. Really happy with them and will be purchasing additional non slip stair treads in the near future.”

“Yes thank you, the non slip stair treads were easy to install and look great, even my customer (who is not the easiest to please) has commented on how good they look.”
