★★Update★★★ The comparison table has been updated. Reinforcing fibers and safety nets★★★

On-site, the workers' lives are paramount! We propose a safety net for slopes that can be easily installed on standing trees!

At K-F, we propose the safety net "An'ei Net" to protect important workers from falling objects. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has revised the safety and health regulations, and Article 539-5 includes "Work Plans." This requires conducting and recording an investigation of the work site, creating a work plan based on that, and informing and carrying out the work with the relevant workers. Within this "Work Plan," there are measures to prevent dangers to workers from falling objects, and in the "Investigation and Record" section, there is an item regarding "the work location and below it..." Are measures being taken in your work environment to protect important workers from falling objects? 【Features】 ■ The flexibility of high-strength raschel knitted fabric and the effectiveness of high-strength, high-elasticity rope absorb a wide range of falling rock energy (maximum falling rock energy 100 kJ). ■ Easily installable on standing trees. ■ The high shock absorption performance of the net and rope reduces the load acting on the support posts. ■ Components are compact, making transport and installation easy. ■ Can be reused if there are no major injuries. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

We have updated the article on the website of the semi-custom system construction "Select Beam." When planning factories, logistics warehouses, and stores, "system construction" has become an effective means of achieving cost reduction and shortening construction periods. The rationality of system construction through thorough standardization is very high, and it is adopted in many projects. However, due to the differing characteristics of each manufacturer, many business owners find themselves wondering, "Which manufacturer is suitable for our plans?" and "Is it really optimal compared to conventional methods?" In this article, we will compare and introduce the basic knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of system construction, as well as recommend manufacturers by purpose in a ranking format. ■ Semi-Custom System Construction "Select Beam" This is a unique method by Sakura Structure, and it is a "third option" that is less expensive than system construction. It is the most suitable method for low-rise long-span buildings such as stores, warehouses, factories, and logistics facilities, as well as high-rise buildings like hotels.
