When working at height, choosing the right fall protection system is just as important as wearing the correct PPE. Whether you’re working on a construction site, loading trailers or carrying out maintenance work, the right solution can help reduce the risk of serious injury while making day to day operations more efficient.
At Safety Pack, we’ve developed both the TS1 and TS2 Fall-Pac Units to provide reliable fall protection in demanding environments. While both systems are quick to deploy, highly durable and manufactured in the UK, they are designed for different applications.
If you’re unsure which unit is best suited to your project, this guide will help you make the right choice.
The TS1 Unit is our most versatile Fall-Pac protection system. Designed to provide compact fall protection, it is ideal for a wide range of industries where workers need a safe landing solution when working at height.
One of the biggest advantages of the TS1 is its speed. It can be set up in minutes, making it perfect for projects where time is critical. Each unit provides 4.5m² of coverage and is suitable for work at heights of up to 2.7 metres, or 3.4 metres when units are doubled up.
Manufactured here in the UK, every TS1 features a durable woven polypropylene outer casing with a protective coating that helps reduce water ingress, even in challenging weather conditions. Inside the unit is specialist polystyrene that creates a soft landing should a fall occur.
The compact design also makes the TS1 easy to transport between sites, with delivery available within 72 hours when required.
When should you choose the TS1?
The TS1 is an excellent option for projects where flexibility is key.
It is commonly used for:
- General construction work
- Roofing and maintenance projects
- Building repairs
- Utility works
- Temporary working at height tasks
- Sites where equipment needs to be moved regularly
Because it is lightweight and easy to position, the TS1 is often the preferred choice for contractors working across multiple locations or changing work areas throughout the day.
The TS2 Unit has been specifically designed for the transportation industry. While it shares the same fast setup and durable construction as the TS1, its design has been adapted to provide enhanced protection around trailers, lorries and loading areas.
The TS2 sits flush with the bed of a trailer or dock leveller, creating a safer working environment for personnel loading, unloading or carrying out maintenance at height.
Once positioned, the unit provides an additional 2.5 metre safety perimeter to either side and the rear of the trailer, significantly reducing the risk of injury from falls.
Like the TS1, the TS2 is manufactured in the UK using a robust outer casing designed to withstand demanding working environments while remaining quick and simple to deploy.
When should you choose the TS2?
The TS2 is the ideal solution for businesses involved in transport and logistics.
Typical applications include:
- Trailer loading and unloading
- Lorry maintenance
- Distribution centres
- Warehousing
- Haulage operations
- Vehicle inspection areas
- Dock leveller work
If your team regularly works around trailers or elevated loading platforms, the TS2 has been designed specifically with these environments in mind.
TS1 vs TS2: What’s the difference?
Although both units provide dependable fall protection, their intended use is what sets them apart.
The TS1 offers maximum versatility across a variety of industries and working environments. It is ideal when you need a portable system that can quickly be moved wherever protection is required.
The TS2, on the other hand, has been purpose-built for transportation applications. Its unique profile allows it to sit neatly alongside trailers, providing additional perimeter protection where falls are most likely to occur.
In simple terms:
Choose the TS1 if you need:
- A versatile fall protection solution
- Protection for construction and maintenance work
- Easy transportation between sites
- Flexible positioning across different projects
Choose the TS2 if you need:
- Protection around trailers and loading bays
- A solution for haulage and logistics
- Extra perimeter protection for transport operations
- Equipment designed specifically for transportation environments
