The RhinoDeck™ system was first developed in 2008, and almost all 1st Generation product variants will have now reached the end of their expected service life. This current variant was launched in 2017, this is post manufacture zinc plated and stamped.
It is easy to identify 1st Generation RhinoDeck™ as it is black in colour (as pictured above). Depending on the product's storage, operating duration and environmental use, some may still have additional service years but by 2027 this should all be phased out people's hire or service stock. The continuing use in the interim should be determined by inspection from an authorised company and trained / competent person. If this process is not undertaken correctly, the deck could be structurally compromised. Loading of this decking could lead to accidental collapse with severe health & safety (H&S) and build programme implications.
During 2024 FASET, the trade association for decking solution, along with many national house builders introduced the recommendation for BlueCard training for all operators, alongside management training for those supervising daily. Sayfa Group™ can provide the training and inspections service at the same time.
