Testimonials: U-Tred

We bought a couple of hundred of those cleats and put them in areas where the steps were smooth and not rugged or for steps where the anti-slip layer wore off. So far, the operators seem happy with the product.

Yes we did get some of the U-Treads!  We have installed them at one location so far and they are great!!  We ordered enough for Two locations and will more than likely be putting in another order for a couple more locations as well!!  Very great product!

Thank you, J.N

I wanted to reach out on behalf of IFG Moyie Springs to tell you how your product is doing on our site. You sent an email to our Purchaser Ingrid, and since the U-Treds were my idea for our site I wanted to contact you.

I just installed the 100 U-Tred Pros and 100 U-Tred Grate Cleats. So far through some simple testing we are very happy with the results. Though I greatly underestimated how far 100 of these would go and we will be purchasing more. We will see how well they perform during our harsher winters, but so far so good.

“The U-TRED anti slip stair tread products we got are a great improvement as far as ease of installation goes. From personal experience you can actually fit them just using your hand if need be. We got the 75mm from memory which probably was a bit of a mistake as most of our newer grid mesh is 50mm so we are limited where we can fit them but apart from that they are a good product, definitely saves time when fitting and perform the function (non slip) when fitted.”

“‘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 are using the U-Tred product at our Lutana Waste Transfer Station site in Tasmania as per the attached photos. The U-Tred is installed in just a few minutes to any of our open grid type steps. The U-Tred is so robust and the safety yellow colour makes it stand out. We will be using the U-Tred at all of our Waste Transfer Station to reduce the risk of slips, trips, and falls.”

“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.”

“Thanks for your time to show us about U-TRED. They are a great product. The employees install them and say they look neat & tidy. Have installed 1000 at present with more to purchase & install.”

“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.”
