The storage and transportation of decking panels has long been a industry-wide issue. This has arisen due to the increased need to palletise and secure the equipment for safe lifting and transportation. Plant machinery such as forklift trucks, both standard and telescopic, cannot move unsecured loads. As a result, site loads spend unnecessary time loading pallets, banding or strapping the loads to ensure that they remain stable. Our decking panel stillages have been designed to make storage and transportation of these materials safer but also more time and cost-effective.
We have two stillage options available to either hire, purchase or as an add-on to the G&M Safe Deck system.
The first option is designed to accept 26 decking panels stored in two stacks of 13 panels side by side. This means that your operatives don’t need to stack the panels 26 high on a panel as they may do currently.
Alternatively, our other stillage is designed to accept 56 built legs that can also be stacked.

Yes. G&M Safe Deck Ltd care a great deal about our customers and the support we provide them. Consequently we listen to what our customers want. We were asked by our customers for a Safe Deck half panel they could purchase as a separate item as and when they needed them. As a result of this we have gone into R&D and developed a half panel. The Safe Deck half panel has been tested by a UKAS accredited test centre. Consequently we have testing data which proves the Safe Deck half panel has the same loading capability and characteristics as the standard full size panel.
Safety decking plays a crucial role in promoting sustainability on construction sites.
Safety decking plays a crucial role in protecting construction workers by providing a secure working platform at elevated heights. Here’s how safety decking safeguards workers:
Preventing Falls: Safety decking creates a stable and level surface for workers to stand or walk on while performing tasks at heights. This minimizes the risk of falls, which is one of the most significant hazards in construction.
Fall Arrest: In the event of an accidental slip or trip, safety decking is often designed to act as a fall arrest system. It can stop a worker from falling to a lower level, reducing the severity of injuries or preventing them altogether.
Enhancing Stability: Safety decking is engineered to support the weight of construction workers, equipment, and materials. This stability ensures that workers can carry out their tasks without worrying about the platform collapsing or shifting.
Increased Confidence: Knowing they are working on a secure surface, workers can concentrate on their tasks with greater confidence and peace of mind, reducing stress and distraction that can lead to accidents.
G&M Safe Deck has been designed to be lightweight as well as strong. A full size panel weighs 10.43 kg.
The G&M Safe Deck System has a proven life expectancy of at least 10 years. This has been proven by testing panels taken from our contracting stock that are 10 years old. The testing was successful and the old panels performed as well as a new one would. G&M Safe Deck is by far the most rigorously tested plastic system available on the market anywhere in the world.
G&M Safe Deck exceeds all Health and Safety Executive Standards and provides an exceptionally safe platform for working at height.
The system is tested to BS5973:1993, BSEN12811-1: 2003 and ACR [M] 001:2014 as stipulated by FASET.
