"Is
BayNets' installation complicated?"
It's
a snap. It takes about an hour to install the BayNets
System. Your employees can handle it easily, using the
installation instructions we provide. Most other bay covers

will my employees use it?"

time. Our research shows that the BayNets Safety System
is so fast and easy to use, technicians adapt to it
very quickly—and use the system every time, between
every service, not just between shifts.

the BayNets System safer than other pit safety approaches?"

every way. BayNets provide complete bay safety and promote
safer work habits. The System is designed to catch and
cradle a person falling into the floor opening. Its ease
of operation encourages more regular use. And because
the System is not meant to be walked on, it creates continual
safety awareness around the open pit. BayNets fully meet
not just the letter, but the spirit of OSHA regulations—at
a lower cost than any other safety system.
"Will
BayNets interfere with operations?"
Absolutely
not. BayNets were designed with a full understanding of
quick-lube operations. The nets are fabricated of specially
treated, petroleum resistant, high tenacity polypropylene
netting, allowing maximum light and air-flow to the lower
bay. Even when BayNets are closed, employees working in
the lower bay do not feel trapped by the System—and
communication is not inhibited between individuals working
in the upper and lower levels.The open web design provides
the visibility that allows you to maintain control of
your lower bay personnel. And the installation and use
of BayNets do not adversely affect the acoustics or aesthetics
of your service center.

BayNets strong enough?"

BayNets accommodate unusual bay design?"

and netting are extremely flexible. The System can be
welded at any level in the bay. so it can be utilized
in any bay design—even if the service bay is an unusual
configuration or the drain pan is very close to the floor
level of the bay.
"Is
there a lot of maintenance?"

are no moving parts to wear out. There are no metal parts
to rust or repaint. There are no maintenance concerns
at all. Once you install BayNets, your bays are safe for
years to come.
