Made for Tough Environments:
The best port staff 2 way radios are rugged, waterproof and offer exceptional battery performance, ensuring that they will last a full shift on a single charge. This enhanced functionality ensures that there is no compromise in on-site performance and all personnel can operate efficiently and autonomously while remaining in contact with each other and their site office at all times.

Enhanced Safety:
Ports and docks are inherently dangerous environments, with deep water, moving vehicles, constant noise, high-voltage areas and plenty of heavy machinery. Because dock workers are continuously exposed to these hazards, they need a method of communication that is up to the job. Port and dock two way radios radios allow supervisors to maintain contact with lone workers, monitor staff activity, respond to medical emergencies and handle any accidents or near misses.

Clarity Across Languages:
It is normal for the workforce in a port to include workers from a range of nationalities, as they are vital to ensuring clear communications with incoming ship crews; however, overcoming language barriers while delivering training can be challenging. Walkie talkies are an intuitive communications solution which does not require specific staff training. This ensures that even when workers are unable to speak with each other in the same language, they can still be issued with a communications device that they can use to maintain contact during their working hours, to report any issues that may arise and to seek assistance where necessary.

Workforce Flexibility:
By using two way radios, workers can easily be redeployed throughout the facility as cargo or passenger volumes fluctuate, to cover each other’s breaks and to maintain minimum staffing numbers in more hazardous areas, such as around cranes and other heavy equipment, which must be continuously monitored when in operation for reasons of worker and public safety.

The ability to communicate effortlessly at the touch of a button via a device that keeps an entire workforce connected is something that can only be achieved through the use of public address (PA) systems or two way radios. While PA systems can notionally provide a broadcast function to reach all team members, they can be expensive to install, and with high noise levels in many of the operational areas of a port or dock, the level of background noise present will mean that messages communicated over these systems can easily become lost or misinterpreted. PA systems are also one directional. In sharp contrast, walkie talkies allow workers to communicate clearly across the facility without compromise.
