Confined Space Training Trailer
Having just returned from a two day mining resource conference and trade expo that was held in Whyalla, South Australia I was fortunate to be involved in the presentation and delivery of a Confined Space Training Trailer (Conspacetrailer) that was being delivered and handed over to the customer who will be using the trailer in Western Australia, etc. The concept of putting a confined space simulator on a trailer is not new; indeed the manufacturer of the Conspacetrailer – WestCoast Trailers (WCT) from Geelong in Victoria has been manufacturing units like this for a number of years now and continues to develop and implement new ideas for each client’s specific needs.
The customer for this unit is Safety Rescue Australia (SRA) who required a number of modifications around the basic Conspacetrailer of which Craig Davis (Owner of WCT) researched, sourced and installed into the unit. A number of Australian Standards were referenced and expert assistance was sort from a number of safety experts including SRA, Honeywell Safety, etc.
The Conspacetrailer was built around a heavy duty platform and running gear to withstand the type of roads expected around Australia with internal load bearing walls, blacked out internals with main doorway, multiple manhole entries at top and side which have replaceable covers, triple locked handrails on the roof, angled roof access steps to a very stable platform which has a ladder inserted into a roof cavity, multiple load rated tie off points, a number of storage lockers for the roll out BBQ, fridge, generator, a fold down rear platform and storage rack for harnesses and rescue gear, solar panels and gel cell batteries and full LED lighting system, electric brakes with large wind out awning and many other features to SRA specifications.
I highly recommend a visit to WCT website to see what other projects Craig & his highly skilled crew have completed – including a mussel shell that hydraulically opens up into a mobile kitchen. Go to:

For the records – Whyalla and the Spencer Gulf region is an amazing place, with great people, great towns, lots of work and business opportunities and the expo/conference was excellent & well run.
Yes I will be returning asap.
