Star Aluminium Truck Safety Screens

Star Aluminium safety screens are a temporary fall protection solution for maintenance bays, heavy machinery areas, vehicles and other locations where a fixed guardrail system is not practical or possible. The screens are designed to stack together compactly when not in use, making storage straightforward in sheds, workshops and on vehicle trays.
The lightweight aluminium construction allows screens to be moved and positioned quickly without lifting equipment, while maintaining the structural integrity required to function as a fall protection barrier during active use. Each screen is engineered to comply with Australian WHS requirements for temporary fall protection at working height.
Star Aluminium also produces a Winged Platform variant, which combines the temporary fall protection function of a safety screen with a stable access platform, providing a combined access and fall protection solution for machinery, vehicles and maintenance equipment. All safety screen systems are backed by a Lifetime Structural Warranty. Custom sizing is available for non-standard bay widths and machinery configurations.

Aftercare & Maintenance

All Star Aluminium products are designed and manufactured to Australian Standards for height access and industrial equipment.
Every unit is supplied with a compliance plate and engineering certification.
Safety screens should be inspected before each deployment, with particular attention to wheel locks, chain mechanisms and frame integrity.
Aluminium surfaces should be wiped down regularly to prevent contamination build-up in industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Star Aluminium Truck Safety Screens used for?

Star Aluminium Truck Safety Screens provide fall protection at the rear and sides of trucks, loading docks, and tipping vehicles during loading, unloading and maintenance operations. The screens create a physical barrier between the operator and unguarded fall edges on vehicle platforms and dock interfaces. They are deployed at transport depots, logistics facilities, waste and recycling operations, mining haul truck maintenance areas, and any site where workers are required to access the top or sides of trucks or vehicles at height.

What dimensions and rail configuration does the standard screen use?

The standard Star Aluminium Truck Safety Screen is 3 metres wide and 2.5 metres tall, with three horizontal rails and a full aluminium frame. The three-rail configuration provides continuous fall protection coverage across the full height of the screen. Swivel lockable wheels allow the screen to be positioned precisely at the dock edge or vehicle side and locked in place before work commences. Custom widths are available for non-standard dock layouts and vehicle types.

How are the screens positioned and secured on site?

Star Aluminium Truck Safety Screens are mounted on swivel lockable wheels that allow the screen to be rolled into position by a single operator without lifting equipment. Once at the dock edge or vehicle side, the swivel locks are engaged to hold the screen in place. Lockable chains provide a secondary restraint connecting the screen to the dock or vehicle structure during the work operation. The lightweight aluminium alloy frame minimises handling effort and reduces manual handling risk during deployment and storage.

Are custom widths and configurations available?

Yes. Star Aluminium Truck Safety Screens are available in custom width configurations to suit non-standard dock openings, vehicle widths and site access geometries. The screens are designed with a configurable frame that can be adapted to specific operational requirements. Screens are supplied flat-packed to reduce freight costs for interstate and overseas delivery. Contact Star Aluminium to discuss custom dimensions, rail spacing and deployment requirements for your facility.

Are Star Aluminium Truck Safety Screens manufactured to Australian Standards?

Yes. Star Aluminium Truck Safety Screens are designed and manufactured to comply with relevant Australian Standards for industrial fall protection equipment. Each unit is fitted with a compliance plate to support site WHS obligations. Manufacturing is covered by the ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system. All units carry a Lifetime Structural Warranty. Custom configurations are available for non-standard dock layouts and vehicle dimensions.

What industries use Truck Safety Screens?

Star Aluminium Truck Safety Screens are used across transport and logistics terminals, waste and recycling facilities, mining haul truck maintenance yards, bulk materials handling operations, municipal fleet depots, food and beverage distribution centres, and heavy industrial sites. Applications include rear and side edge protection during curtainsider and tautliner loading, tipper truck discharge operations, refrigerated trailer maintenance, and any task requiring worker access at height alongside a vehicle in a fixed loading or maintenance bay.
