Protect Shop and Yard Crews. Reduce Winter Slip Risk. Keep Production Moving.
Metal manufacturing and fabrication does not pause for winter. Crews move between furnaces, bays, outdoor staging areas, scrap yards, loading docks, and jobsite delivery points in conditions where ice forms fast and surfaces change by the hour. Snow packed yard lanes, frozen dock plates, slick steel steps, and wet floors that refreeze near open doors or unheated buildings all raise the risk of slips and falls.
A single fall can trigger injuries, equipment delays, interrupted shift flow, and costly claims. At Winter Walking, we do not just sell ice cleats. We help metal manufacturers and fabricators deploy traction solutions that fit your facility layout and winter exposure, keeping workers upright and output steady.
Why Metal Manufacturers and Fabricators Choose Winter Walking:
- Built for Mixed Industrial Surfaces
Fabrication facilities combine indoor concrete, oily thresholds, outdoor gravel, compacted snow, metal stairs, and catwalk grating. Our traction solutions are selected to grip on these mixed surfaces without slowing movement. - Supporting Material Flow and Shipping Schedules
Forklift drivers, riggers, welders, QA staff, and shipping teams keep material moving from bay to yard to dock. Slips cause downtime and disrupt production flow. A traction program helps protect continuity during winter peaks. - Reliable Grip Around Docks, Yards, and Steel Structures
Outdoor zones are high risk in this industry. Trailer beds, dock ramps, steel stairs, and yard staging lanes freeze quickly. Our cleats provide dependable footing in those areas so crews can load, unload, inspect, and transport safely. - Aligned with Your Safety Metrics and Plant Standards
Metal plants track recordables, near misses, and contractor performance tightly. A proactive traction strategy reduces cold weather incidents and strengthens overall winter readiness.
