This webinar explored INSTABOOM GO, the UK’s first, one man deployment, solar powered stop:go machine.
About the Webinar:
The webinar, which was delivered in collaboration with Solar Gates UK, took place on 14th November at 11am.
Neil Sampson, Managing Director at Solar Gates UK highlighted the benefits of running a stop:go closure, with a crew of one, with the person working from the safety of the side of the road or their cab.
Under Neil’s leadership, Solar Gates UK has consistently grown, leveraging his extensive expertise in solar technology, gate/barrier automation and manufacturing. The company has introduced groundbreaking products such as the one-man lift, instant deployment barriers, and Stop/Go systems, revolutionising labour cost efficiency and safety in a sustainable, zero-carbon manner. Solar Gates’ SOSEC and INSTABOOM barriers have been pivotal in enhancing site and personnel safety for clients in highways, railways, and construction, all harnessed from the power of the UK sun. Notably, their mobile solar security solutions have earned accolades, including the National Highways Site Safety Initiative of the Year.
Learning Outcomes:
How solar power can improve efficiency, safety and cost effectiveness.
Benefits include:
- Compact trolley case: 22kg per unit enabling 4 units to fit in the boot of a car.
- Solar powered: No need to charge if they are used in the sun twice a minute on 8 hour shifts. And without the sun, they only need a charge once every 8 days.
- Fully connected: Run up to 4 units, fully connected so that you cannot have 2 GO’s.
- Rugged remote control: Operate a stop:go closure up to 200m long.
- Collapsible Red Book sign kits: All 13 signs in 3 ‘tent’ bags. Everything required to run stop go can now fit in 1 small vehicle with low carbon foot of attendance.
