WM New Zealand is a leader in recycling, waste management, and material recovery. They have 2,000 team members across 90 locations, with many large vehicles. WM approached Safesmart Access with a challenge.
How to allow their team to access the top of their large truck bodies safely.
The Challenge:
Without compromising efficiency, WMNZ needed a secure, efficient solution that could:
- Provide stable access at variable heights
- Eliminate the need to stand directly on truck bodies
- Be mobile and adaptable across multiple sites


The Solution: SafeSmart BridgeDeck Mobile Platform
Our site engineer Daniel Wearmouth, reviewed the site and recommended the BridgeDeck Mobile Platform.
The BridgeDeck is:
- Two Separate fixed height Platforms with a height adjustable bridge spanning between them.
- Fully height-adjustable – to suit the entire WM fleet, including the tallest trucks
- Mobile and versatile – can be easily moved across different sites
- Built for safety and compliance – Designed and built in NZ to meet AS/NZS1576


The feedback from the fleet maintenance manager was that the BridgeDeck was not only compliant and suitable for use – it was lightweight and practical to use so the team were engaged in using it to achieve the tasks on hand.
