Wheel Stops

3rd March, 2017 | by excitemedia

Wheel Stops are designed to prevent damage caused by vehicles overshooting parking bays. These tough polyethylene wheel stops won’t fade, chip or rust. They are 1700 mm long and designed to catch the front wheels of the vehicle while still allowing free pedestrian access between parking bays. The low height of 100 mm ensures that vehicles with low clearance will not be damaged as they can be with some concrete wheel stops.

Suitable for use in factories and warehouses to prevent trolleys and forklifts from impacting walls or offices etc.
Fittings are ordered separately.
These wheel stops comply with the Australian Standard AS 2890.1:2004 (Parking Facilities).

Blue stops highlight disabled space
Can be fixed to concrete or asphalt
Economical and simple to install
Solid moulded construction
Blanking plugs conceal fixing points
Can easily be removed or repositioned

How to Choose The Best Storage Equipment

3rd October, 2022 | by support.gocreative

Finding the right storage equipment for your particular worksite isn’t always as simple as you might think. At Materials Handling, we provide numerous solutions for material storage, so it can be overwhelming to determine which is right for you.

That’s why we’re here to help you choose the best storage equipment.

How to choose the best storage equipment

\

What is storage equipment?

Storage equipment can include cabinets, lockers or any other storing solution that holds materials or items over a period of time. There can be many uses and applications of storage equipment and to one extent or another all industries and companies will require some level of storage solution to suit their needs.

The purpose of storage equipment

There can be many benefits to having a robust industrial storage solution. For starters, it ensures your products and items are protected, secure and safe. Additionally, it provides for better organisation and accessibility of tools and equipment which translates into increased efficiency and productivity. Last but not least, it ensures that your worksite, workshop or floor space is kept as clean and usable as possible.

What to consider when choosing storage equipment

When you’re looking for the right storage equipment to suit your needs, take the following factors into consideration.

1. Size and space

Where is the storage cabinet going? How much/many items are you planning on storing inside? What sort of shaped storage system do you need to fit into the desired area?

2. Safety and surveillance

Many storage cabinets come with locks and other safety features to ensure the items inside are secure. Think about what sort of products or materials you are storing and what level of security they require.

3. Accessibility and convenience

The level of accessibility and convenience of access will help narrow down the options to storage solutions that can either quickly open or provide for longer term storage with more safety features.

4. Work Environment

If the storage safe is likely to be exposed to the elements or other factors, you’ll want to prioritse heavy duty and durable storage solutions over less robust options.

5. Appearance

Of course, this factor is mostly subjective and up to your personal preferences. Nonetheless, choosing the right storage facility that suits the rest of your workspace will make for more aesthetic appeal in general.

Choosing proper storage equipment

Choosing proper storage equipment is vital to ensure your items are provided with the right level of safety and security from damage, theft or loss.

Every storage solution, whether it’s a cabinet or locker, offers different benefits and organisation arrangements. By spending the time and effort considering how you plan on using it and what you plan on storing inside it, you’ll find you and your entire team enjoying improved operational efficiency and productivity for a long time to come.

Not to mention the fact that raw or hazardous materials need to be stored in a regulation-compliant and heavy duty system. The last thing you want is damage or injury to property or workers.

Types of storage equipment

Flammable liquid safety cabinets

Some storage solutions are designed for particular uses, such as the flammable liquid safety cabinets. Manufactured in line with Australia regulations, they’re built for purpose and are perfect for housing flammable or otherwise dangerous goods. Special safety features are included as well such as vents with flash arresters or even self-closing doors on certain models.

Highly resistant cabinets

It’s not just flame and fire that you might be contending with. Even if the material being stored inside isn’t dangerous in and of itself, your cabinet or storage solution could be exposed to damage externally. Whether it’s fire, extreme temperatures, moisture (causing rust) or impacts from passing workers, machinery or vehicles, highly resistant cabinets will provide equal parts peace of mind as well as good protection.

Compartment cabinets

Keeping your equipment organised in storage is practical for many reasons. You’ll be able to fit more items into less space; you’ll be able to find and access more items quicker; and it will look professional and neat. Compartment cabinets are excellent storage equipment solutions for exactly that reason. Depending on the nature of the items you’re planning on storing, you can find and choose a style of compartments that works for you.

Adjustable and heavy duty

If you need to store big, heavy, bulky or oddly shaped items, an adjustable and heavy duty storage cabinet is the way to go. These types of cabinets and lockers often feature removable shelving or customisable designs so that it can work to meet your needs and not the other way round. Remember to check that the storage facility you’re considering has a load bearing capacity that suits your equipment.

Internal Safety Cabinets

Internal safety cabinets can be used for any number of items. Corrosive or otherwise harmful materials can be kept secure and out of the wrong hands, and personnel items can be stored out of sight and reach of would-be thieves or no-gooders.
