iRoll Safety Handles for roll cages

Up to a 1/3* of accidents are roll cage related.

Cages are designed for moving objects, not for human handling. This is why companies using roll cages have found that up to a third of their accidents are roll cage-related (*HSE report below). Cages are used for transporting goods within warehouses, storage, distribution, hospitals, retail, airports, train stations and many others. They require users to remember their training when handled, offering minimal protection and comfort. This video just gives a taste of some of the many incidents related to roll cages...see the business case for my detail.

iRoll Ergonomic Safety Handles Engineered for safety. Designed for control.

iRoll Ergonomic Safety Handles are high-visibility, rotating handles that attach easily to roll cages. Built to reinforce correct handling techniques and prevent injury, they transform everyday roll cage movement into a safer, more controlled operation — fully aligned with HSE manual handling guidance.


Bespoke trolley or cage manual handling?

We’ve developed Safety Handles to improve safety across all types of roll cages and trolleys — including low-profile cages, such as those used in Amazon and similar logistics operations. Our video demonstrates how adaptable plate attachments allow secure fitting even on smaller or non-standard cages. Through our consultancy service, we work directly with businesses to assess manual handling requirements and design ergonomic, cost-effective Safety Handles that protect both your staff and your company’s long-term interests.

  1. Correct handling every time.
    Once fitted, iRoll Handles make the direction of travel obvious, ensuring staff always operate from the safe side — preventing collisions and unstable movement.
  2. Reduced risk of toppling.
    Operators automatically handle the cage at the correct height, dramatically lowering the chance of the cage tipping over onto them or a colleague.
  3. Protection for hands and fingers.
    By holding the handle rather than the cage frame, users keep fingers clear of pinch points and sharp edges, avoiding common crush and cut injuries.
  4. Safer distance from danger.
    The added reach keeps feet away from wheels, reducing the likelihood of toe and foot injuries caused by roll cage movement.
  5. Visible safety for everyone nearby.
    The large, brightly coloured handles clearly show where hands are positioned, signalling control to colleagues and reducing the risk of crush incidents in busy areas.
  6. Ergonomic comfort and control.
    A wide, easy-grip rotating handle minimises strain, supports users with conditions such as arthritis, and automatically adjusts to the ideal angle — reducing wrist and back stress for users of all heights.
  7. Supports compliant safety documentation.
    iRoll provides a robust foundation for a valid RAMS statement, helping demonstrate due diligence and compliance with health and safety legislation.
  8. Reduced risk of litigation.
    By actively preventing common manual-handling injuries and clearly showing a proactive safety approach, iRoll helps organisations lower the risk of costly claims, investigations, and compensation cases — protecting both the workforce and the company.
  9. Hygienic and infection-aware.
    Assign each operator their own detachable iRoll Handles to minimise cross-contamination. They can be sanitised, washed, or colour-coded for hygiene and operational control.
  10. Low maintenance, high durability.
    Built to last with minimal upkeep — just an occasional silicon spray for the mechanism, and easy handle removal for washing or sterilisation.
  11. All-weather comfort.
    Thermo-neutral materials stay comfortable to touch — cool in summer, warm in winter — promoting consistent use and employee satisfaction.


    They protect your team, strengthen compliance, and safeguard your business — making roll cage handling safer, cleaner, and more efficient for everyone involved.The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) keep a set of iRoll Safety Handles on a roll cage at there Buxton HQ to show how manual handling aids can make a difference in safety.

  • HSE Manual Handling

    Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) can be caused by a single event, such as a single lift of a heavy object. However, the repetitive (or regular) handling of smaller loads while in an awkward posture can also lead to an accumulation of injury, causing chronic pain.
