In close cooperation with the contractor Veidekke and the rental company Ramirent, Ernex has developed a new and improved saw container for Gjerdesagen – with one clear goal: increased safety, better ergonomics, and a more efficient workday at the construction site.
This is a result of real industry needs – and a good example of how Norwegian collaboration leads to better solutions.
Developed with a focus on HSE and user needs
The development was based on concrete feedback from professionals on construction sites. Particular emphasis was placed on:
-
Improved safety around the saw blade
-
Clearer safety zone
-
Easier mounting of side fences and material stops
-
Improved working height for better ergonomics
The result is a modern saw container that meets today's HSE requirements – and at the same time makes the workday easier for craftsmen.
Complete sawing station – ready for use
The new 20-foot ISO saw container is a complete workstation, equipped with the Gjerdesagen 1603 and smart solutions that provide both flexibility and safety:
-
Increased working height for better ergonomics
-
Removable side fences and material stops
-
Clearly marked safety zone for safe use
-
Upgraded lighting and non-slip floor
-
Efficient chip extraction with automatic start/stop
This provides a more structured, efficient, and safe workplace – regardless of weather conditions.
Documented need for increased safety
The background for the development is clear: injuries to hands and fingers are among the most common in the construction industry. At the same time, the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority has increased its control of machines and safety equipment on construction sites.
With stricter requirements and an increased focus on safety, it is crucial to choose equipment that is actually designed to reduce risk.
A collaboration that elevates the industry
The project demonstrates the value of close cooperation between the manufacturer, contractor, and rental company. By combining experience from:
-
those who develop the equipment
-
those who use it daily
-
and those who work with HSE
Ernex has been able to develop a solution that meets market needs.
Norwegian quality – developed for professionals
Ernex has produced Gjerdesagen in Norway since 1952, focusing on quality, precision, and operational reliability. The new saw container builds on this legacy – and sets a new standard for mobile sawing stations on construction sites.
