New Safety Kage Model for Construction Sites

Tool storage and security provider KNAACK introduced its Safety Kage 139-SK-01. This new product expands the Safety Kage product line by combining the organization of the original model with added mobility and protection.

“At KNAACK, we create all of our products with an emphasis on security, maximizing productivity on the jobsite for users,” said Mike Bykowski, director of product management for KNAACK’s truck and jobsite business.

“That’s why we’re proud to release the newest model of the KNAACK Safety Kage, designed for aerial mobility and increased weather protection,” he added.

Mobility and Weather Resistance

The Safety Kage 139-SK-01 incorporates feedback directly from construction professionals and safety directors, with several new features. The new model features a four-point crane lift capability to enhance the mobility of the unit. Now, it can efficiently be hoisted across a jobsite and from deck to deck, saving professionals time and energy.

This model is based off the platform of the original 139-SK Cabinet. Given the fully enclosed, solid body panel construction, it enables end users to keep fall protection and safety gear equipment protected from harsh conditions. In addition, a ventilated door has been incorporated for fall protection storage.

The Safety Kage 139-SK-01 provides security against theft 24 hours a day and distinguishes the product from all other storage units on the market. The original model was released in May 2018, with a three-section unit to prioritize organization. This keeps gear accessible and makes it easy to find on the jobsite.

The neon green color stands out as a high visibility identifier for workers to locate in the event of an emergency, while the exterior offers quick access to safety gear like a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, and eye wash station. Inside, it features shelves for items such as hard hats and vests, and hooks to hang fall protection harnesses. This eliminates scratches, abrasions, and water damage to any personal protective equipment (PPE).

Award-Winning Product Design

The Safety Kage has been acknowledged by jobsite professionals, industrial suppliers, and trade publications for helping safety be a top priority on jobsites. In September 2018, it received an award from the Pro Tool Innovation Awards, which recognizes products in the tool industry and serves as a buying guide for contractors and repair professionals.

The product, which is now available nationally, was chosen as the year’s best rolling jobsite storage product due to its innovative design and unique contribution to storage systems. More than 60 different tool manufacturers submitted award entries for nearly 300 unique products.

A panel of judges, comprised of media and tool professionals from North America, chose the best products among dozens of categories. Winners were chosen based on innovative features, advanced power delivery, groundbreaking ergonomics, technological advancements. and value.
