In our pursuit of sustainability , we ’ re exploring ways to increase automation while minimizing our environmental impact
Striving to encourage more sustainable industry practices , First Fence has introduced a revolutionary , weld-free system . “ In our pursuit of sustainability , we ’ re exploring ways to increase automation while minimizing our environmental impact . All our sites have had solar panels installed this year , and we are currently trialing two electric forklifts in every depot . This initiative allows us to ensure they are working well before potentially transitioning our entire fleet . Additionally , we have developed a new system called EnviroRail , which eliminates the need for traditional galvanized , powdercoated steel railings by introducing a weldfree welding system that doesn ’ t need galvanizing . This innovation not only reduces environmental impact but is also a gamechanger in our industry , offering an ecofriendlier alternative to traditional practices ,” ends Vinny .
Looking ahead , First Fence is planning for expansion into the US market , leveraging its innovative approach and pioneering spirit to drive further international growth . ■
