What are your options for pedestrian safety systems?
21st January, 2021 | by support.gocreativeYou might think that finding the right pedestrian safety system for your workplace is a nightmare, but it’s nothing compared to investing in subpar or ineffective systems that could put your workers, your operations and your business at risk.
Why you need a pedestrian safety system
Apart from the ethical and moral considerations, there is a practical necessity to having a robust safety system in your factory or warehouse. In the unfortunate event that an accident occurring, your business could suffer extensive damage to assets, buildings, products and vehicles. Small accidents can have very large consequences.
If an injury were to occur, you’ll additionally be facing potential Workers Compensation claims and the need for additional or replacement hiring. Not to mention a workplace that does not adequately invest in appropriate safety systems is likely to suffer from an increase in staff turnover and a decrease in productivity as morale lowers. Protecting your workers and your business is incredibly important. Plus, it’s the right thing to do too.
How to improve pedestrian safety
The term pedestrian refers to any individual who is walking or travelling on foot rather than in a vehicle. In many workplaces, some workers move on foot in and amongst others using vehicles, such as trucks or forklifts.
Implementing pedestrian safety measures requires a comprehensive evaluation of the workplace, especially with consideration of high-risk factors that could cause accidental damage or serious injuries. So what are the options for pedestrian safety systems?
Flex Impact – maximum flexibility, minimal accidents
The Flex Impact system from our team at Materials Handling Pty Ltd is the number one recommended product on the market. Its modular design offers incredible flexibility and workplace functionality. Materials Handling Pty Ltd offer a wide range of products, and, as such, the company has the ability to customise a solution to suit just about any application. Combining these factors with an innovative solution like Flex Impact ensures economic affordability and increased workplace effectiveness.
The benefits of Flex Impact
Polymer safety barrier
An innovative aspect of our pedestrian safety system is the material composition of the polymer barrier. The highly durable design features the same strength and resilience of old-fashioned steel barriers but with longer-lasting effectiveness. While steel and other conventional barriers are likely to chip, dent and get destroyed over time, polymer products last much, much longer without looking worse for wear. When a collision does happen between a Flex Impact safety barrier and a vehicle, the barrier will simply spring back into its original shape. No harm is done to it, no damage is done to your floor or building, and no damage done to your vehicle.
Tested to high standards
A pedestrian safety system is only as good as the safety it provides. That’s why our team rigorously tests our products to ensure every aspect of its design and installation. From running a series of collision tests to keeping abreast of the latest workplace safety standards and regulations, when you rely on a Flex Impact system, you have high-quality workplace barrier protection for life
Practical system solution
An important part of what makes the Flex Impact system so popular is that thanks to its modular design, it’s highly adaptable. Safety systems are not a “one size fits all” kind of product. The right solution adapts to and caters the specific layout, function and design of any workspace. Whether it’s the modular construction or its eye-catching design, there’s no better option for ensuring the safety of your workers than Flex Impact.
No maintenance
A steel or metal barrier and bollard system often requires ongoing maintenance to fix and repair damage caused to it by high-impact collision. If the steel barrier is painted, small scrapes and scratches can cause the paint to wear away significantly. Not only does this create a bit of an eyesore but it can also affect the integrity of the system as a safety solution. When you have high levels of traffic and many moving vehicles, having a brightly coloured and easy-to-spot barrier is invaluable. Flex Impact barriers are coloured to the core and don’t bend, dent, chip or break when collided against. Their flexible design ensures they return back to their original shape after impact. No maintenance means no worries.
Complete safety system solution
Most safety systems on the market have restricted functionalities and configurations. They also provide low-quality and unaffordable designs that cannot withstand high-risk environments. That’s where Flex Impact comes in as a comprehensive safety solution. Thanks to its many components, you can tailor barrier protection that suits your working environment. If you need Safety Gates, Bollards, Traffic Barrier Rails and Column or Racking Protection, Flex Impact has you covered (and with so many more options). The versatility of Flex Impact systems makes it a preferred choice!
If you’re looking to set up your own pedestrian safety system that segregates workers from traffic or hazards, then here are some considerations you should ensure, including:
- Handrails at an effective height
- Durable pedestrian and vehicle traffic barriers
- Reliable free-standing bollards
- Highly visual colouring and line marking for floors
- Easy to apply pictograms for flooring
- Practical safety gates
- Doorway height restrictors
- Rack damage protectors in the form of Rack End Barriers and Rack Bulls
- Comprehensive workplace safety design and planning
Flex Impact ensures the safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians. It creates safe roads and safe pathways that segregate hazards by providing risk-free working areas. This improves worker productivity and business effectiveness, especially with a system that is cost-effective and long-lasting.
Let Materials Handling handle your safety system
As you can see, there’s quite a lot to take into consideration when evaluating the different options for your workplace safety and protection. It can be easy to blow out your budget trying to provide comprehensive safety without having a robust and effective system in place.
Flex Impact products offer a truly safe and innovative solution that is not only long term and protects your team and assets but also provides a smart financial and business solution. No maintenance, easy to install, long-lasting, less downtime, less injury and fewer accidents.
So what now? Our team not only boasts over three and a half decades worth of industry experience but we’re also one of the largest distributors in the country with all things pedestrian safety systems. As the trusted supplier of many well-known and reputable brands, we’re the best choice for all your needs too.

Giving the gift of Christmas
11th December, 2020 | by materialshandlingMaterials Handling has supported Greenslopes Private Hospital and St Vincent de Paul by donating gift cards as part of the charity’s Christmas Appeal.
By donating to this cause, over 50 families in the Mount Gravatt, Annerley and Holland Park areas will be able to experience the true spirit of this festival season.
A tradition at the hospital for the past 22-years, our loyal partnership has allowed them to continue their work especially during a year that has brought hardship and grief to many. Millions of Australian families spend Christmas in poverty. National President of St Vincent de Paul Society, Claire Victory, spoke about how this year has been particularly tough for Australians due to the pandemic.
“Job losses, business closures and reduced working hours have placed many communities under an increased financial strain,” Ms Victory said.
“The Federal Government has reduced the Coronavirus supplement and it will drop again early next year, plunging many more people into poverty, and other supports such as the moratorium on evictions are also being lifted in some states. Even without border closures and travel restrictions, many people in our community find Christmas to be a particularly lonely time of year due to social isolation.”
Frank Ford (from St Vinnies) and Cath Steward, Chris Went (CEO), Ellie Sacre, Terry McLaren and Grant Eekhoff (from Greenslopes Private Hospital).
Every year, Materials Handling and Australian communities assist the St Vinnies Christmas Appeal by donating to those who have fallen on hard times. Ms Victory said COVID-19 has made it harder for St Vinnies to meet the needs of the people it serves, especially with restrictions and social distancing requirements.
“Belts have tightened around the nation, and our committed volunteers have been prevented from helping because of COVID risks. During the lockdown, many Vinnies shops across Australia had to close or reduce their operations, reducing our ability to generate funds to distribute to people in need,” said Ms Victory.
“This year’s campaign has been launched at the end of a year many would rather forget. But with your help, we will be able to make this festive season that little bit brighter for people in our community who are doing it particularly tough.”
The St Vincent de Paul Society in Australia has over 60,000 members and volunteers who operate in over 1,000 groups located in local communities across the country. With the assistance of Greenslopes Private Hospital, the gift cards donated by Materials Handling will allow families to purchase essential items and food. Donations can help provide families with comfort and security this Christmas.

Donating to the 2019 St Vinnie’s Christmas Appeal
13th December, 2019 | by materialshandlingEvery year, Materials Handling proudly donates to the St Vinnie’s Christmas Appeal and, in 2019, this tradition was once more upheld.
A range of scooters and helmets were gifted to Greenslopes Private Hospital division, who will, in turn, give the toys to a number of boys and girls aged 13-years-old and under. Cementing the fundamental principles of giving and happiness this festive season, these donations will ensure children don’t go without on Christmas morning.
The St Vincent de Paul Society and their Christmas Appeal actively targets poverty and inequality. The confronting truth is that one in six Australian children live in poverty, with one in five not having enough to eat. The Christmas Appeal ensures that the kindness and generosity of contributors provide essential assistance to families, including supplying food, housing support, financial help and a special little something under the tree.
Last year, the St Vincent de Paul Society delivered around 350 hampers to families in need across the Northern Territory alone. CEO of St Vincent de Paul Society NSW, Jack de Groot, said one of the biggest issues families face is hunger due to ongoing drought, energy costs, high rents and inadequate support payments.
“For thousands of families, Christmas isn’t a time of celebration but of hunger, hardship and stress,” he said. “That’s why we hold our annual Christmas Appeal to support people doing it tough…Thanks to the community’s generosity, we’ll be helping thousands of families struggling with poverty to put a special meal on the table for Christmas.”
Matthew delivers 8 scooters and helmets to Greenslopes Private Hospital for the St Vinnies Christmas Appeal.
Every little bit counts and goes towards a family in need at a special time for most Australians. The true spirit of Christmas is found in giving to those less fortunate in the community and St Vinnies provides not only toys to children but food vouchers, hampers, clothing, support with bills, crisis accommodation and other services.
Materials Handling is proud to do its share for those in need. After all, a Christmas without joy is no Christmas at all.
If you would like to contribute to this worthy cause, visit St Vincent de Paul Society’s website and donate with food assistance, giving a gift or financial help.

A New Way of Thinking for Vacuum Handling Devices
29th March, 2018 | by materialshandlingToo often, organisations have been relying on expensive solutions to assist their lifting and handling requirements. As Workplace Health and Safety becomes a driving force in many environments, it is vital that processes are introduced to remove risks associated with manual handling tasks.
Vacuum Handling Devices and Lifters have become a widely adopted technology and their value-adding benefits are sweeping through many industries. An ergonomic and efficient method of lifting, these devices ensure that processes are streamlined and lead times are shortened. They offer a powerful alternative to manual handling tasks.
Technology, as we’ve grown to know it, is changing rapidly. New innovations are improving the worker’s control over a vacuum handling system and increasing savings with added benefits. This new type of lifting solution is emerging with the intent to change the current mindset for the better and ensure vacuum lifting processes are even easier and more reliable.
Introducing Barbaric uniWood – Vacuum Handling Devices with a difference!
Unlike conventional vacuum tube lifters, Barbaric uniWood Vacuum Handling Systems feature a new and futuristic design, with cutting-edge technology for lifting applications. Not only do these devices meet Australian Standards (AS1418 and AS4991) but they exceed expectations and have been adopted worldwide. Their compact design and lightweight construction ensures an operator has full control during all handling processes – a feature that’s been improved significantly in this modular system.
Traditional vacuum tube lifters require constant supply of electricity to operate the vacuum blower. That means, when the vacuum handling device is not in use, it is still consuming considerable power! Alternatively, as an energy-smart solution, Barbaric lifters only draw power when the device is in use. This change has improved the overall return on investment for these types of vacuum handling systems. With Barbaric, only a fraction of the power is required. Less power means less energy consumption and lower electricity bills!
With safety at the forefront of the design, Barbaric uniWood are a complete handling system with enhanced features and a vast range of capabilities. Featuring a variable lift speed, operators have excellent control of the work piece at all times, thus guaranteeing satisfaction and improving productivity. Traditional hoists feature two-speed lift function and the difference between each mode can cause damage to products or equipment (because of jerky system reactions). With Barbaric uniWood, a worker can confidently control the speed and the system remains smooth, quiet and responsive.
Another unique advantage, and possibly the highlight of the Barbaric design, is its ability to lift, tilt and rotate the work piece. This functionality is near impossible on other vacuum lifting systems and very expensive – especially when trying to lift and then tilt a board off a machine bed to place in a vertical rack or A-Frame. Such a task would be cumbersome and difficult on customary systems. Barbaric lifters are specifically designed to fit the most common processes within any wood production facility.
To highlight how these systems are changing workplaces every day, take a look at the B3 uniWood in comparison to a vacuum tube lifter. For a business looking to improve their handling processes, instead of opting for the old style vacuum system, the uniWood offers an alternative quiet, economical and safe solution. It costs less than a traditional system, product quality is still maintained and loose woodwork dust is not spread around the workshop due to an overload of exhaust air. Alternatively, other options are available to handle smaller tasks, like the B1 uniWood Mini. This device has been designed specifically for handling work pieces in/out of the edge band machine. Barbaric uniWood Lifters continue to optimise workflow in a practical and cost-effective way.
The uniWood lifting range is an easy solution that offers state-of the art technology, innovative safety features and smooth operation. Barbaric is changing the industry as we know it. With a range of dynamic glass and panel handling solutions on offer, these systems are introducing a new way of thinking, especially in terms of lifting. They are out-performing other conventional systems we’ve grown comfortable with.
