In its winning citation, the judges proclaimed: "This racking system is a major step forward as it creates a safe discipline for handling bar stock which involves no manual handling or slinging. Bar stock is one of those nightmare materials to handle safely, not only because of the length of it but also because of the difficulty of storing and moving it. An efficient process is essential and the major safety benefit here is that KASTO has minimised the opportunity for individuals to come into contact with the actual work. The system dictates that there is only one way to handle the bar stock which creates a safer and more efficient process."
