Detsafe - Safe Transportation and Storage of Detonators

Detsafes - Easing the Burden

Safe detonator containment for storage and transportation has always presented a logistical burden for the user. The restrictions posed by the UN Hazard Classification system and the overlaying local rules often dictate the use of separate vehicles for movement or dedicated storage away from the rest of the explosive stores.

Whether the use is commercial, law enforcement, military or for NGOs running humanitarian demining or EOD programmes, the Detsafe range will make the operational planning both simpler and safer. Det Safes are  one of Containment Systems.
