Pallet Stackers – Manual
2nd March, 2022 | by materialshandlingA Manual Walkie Stacker is a cost-effective solution, especially when compared to other materials handling equipment. They improve the safety and productivity of your workplace by allowing operators to handle palletised loads of up to 1000 kg. With a strong and efficient design, you can manage an array of tasks with this handy stacker.
Manual Straddle Walkie Stackers are a compact lifter that is ideal for a range of applications and industries. The overall design makes the unit compact yet durable. This device is able to straddle pallets and move them around your workplace. Pallets are raised via a lifting pump that’s either foot or hand-operated. The unit is manually pushed around the workplace.
Manual stackers are highly manoeuvrable, allowing them to work in tight locations and assisting in the expansion of warehouse capacity.

How To Stay Safe at Work
23rd April, 2021 | by materialshandlingThe global pandemic has seen individuals, employers and organisations face unprecedented times and overcome difficult challenges. As such, it’s important that workplaces develop strategies to strengthen Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) protocols and implement systems to build resilience and future-proof processes.
Events like the World Day for Safety and Health at Work (Wednesday, 28 April) aim to raise awareness and encourage important dialogue on how to create and build resilient systems that not only prevent the spread of COVID-19 in any workplace but also ensure risks are minimised and employees are protected. Accidents can be costly. From the loss of life to substantial compensation expenses, by taking action we all can ensure practices prevent hazards, injuries and death.
Below, we’ve collated some general workplace practices to improve health and safety in the workplace. Try implementing these techniques to limit your organisation’s exposure to risk and ensure you’re ‘working with ease…’.
Create a safety plan
With any work or job, you need to know and evaluate the potential risks on hand. This allows you to take the necessary steps to ensure measures are in place to control, minimise or even eliminate any risk altogether. By introducing a Safety Management Plan, your workforce will have access to comprehensive and detailed processes. In this prepared document, clear risk factors should be outlined and demonstrated to highlight how your workplace is routinely assessing risks, minimising exposure, evolving new and existing hazards, and updating plans of action. Furthermore, these plans should be available to all workers, contractors and visitors.
Ensure a safe work environment
Whether it’s reducing clutter, clearing tools or cleaning spills, a clean working environment is incredibly safer. By clearing problem areas and working on ongoing solutions to ensure a hazard-free workplace, the risk of things going wrong will be significantly reduced. Actions should be both on small and larger scales – i.e., installing more bins or hand sanitiser stations to introducing a complete storage solution. Good practices start from management down and need to be supported in their efforts. These will help ensure your employees and customers stay safe at work.
Improve training and qualifications
To help ensure safety is managed around your workplace, employees should receive regular training and assistance. That is, provide refresher or further development courses if necessary and really assist with providing the need-to-know training. Having qualifications in OHS Management will also help employees understand their requirements as and in a workplace. You can also utilise your Safety Management Plan to aid in keeping track of documentation and skills and to further ensure contractors and professionals have the right qualifications to complete required tasks.
Inspect, maintain, review and record
Routine maintenance and inspection is fundamental to workplace safety and preventing dangerous equipment. Checking equipment and reviewing tools regularly can ensure they are still in good condition and are still the safest choice for the job. Also, maintaining records, not only of equipment but of incidents and causes can help assess risk factors and assist in mitigating them in the future. Try introducing a safety officer to inspect, maintain, review and record to safeguard the workplace from any hazard.
Try assistive devices where you can
Lifting equipment and safety solutions can make light work of some very heavy and hazardous tasks. From conveyors, carts, trolleys and pallet jackets to vacuum lifting devices and automated unloaders, there are many devices available to help you move loads and avoid manual handling risks or physical injuries. Such aids can really make workloads easier, improve ergonomics and increase overall abilities by handling twice the load. What’s more, they can help hold, rotate, move, manipulate and lift goods to desired locations.

Think Beyond the Bin
10th November, 2020 | by materialshandlingAs we adjust to the changes that 2020 has brought about, it’s quite clear businesses are in need of some type of recovery. Whether that be economic, environmental, or even emotional, managing our current resources is now more important than ever before.
With National Recycling Week upon us, it’s clear that our practices need to reflect an attitude whereby we fight for a future that goes beyond the bin. That means we are ensuring sustainable practices and minimising overall consumption. As climate change measures and hazardous environmental processes gain momentum, society needs to actively play their part in this cause for change.
Currently, in Australia, Federal, State, and Local Governments are in agreement to deliver the first-ever National Waste Policy Action Plan, which will seek greater investment in recycling infrastructure, implementation of waste export bans, and investment into product stewardship schemes. For Businesses, acknowledging this shift comes in the design phases of products and ensuring that they are environmentally friendly and focused. This includes solutions that minimise the use of materials, ensure components are recyclable, and promote healthy environmental change.
Outlined by Planet Ark, there are six ways we can all personal transition to a future beyond the bin. These include:
- Reducing Resource Use – buying less, choosing to reuses, and passing items on.
- Challenge Food Waste – make a list before shopping, plan ahead, and start practicing composting.
- Shift Package Use – refuse single-use plastic, buy in bulk, and check how to dispose of items before you chuck them away.
- Share Tools and Resources – share resources rather than buying new for collaborative consumption (borrow, swap, and share).
- Treasure your Technology – reduce electronic waste by repairing, buying pre-loved, and recycling the right way.
- Champion Sustainability – support those taking real action, inspire your workplace, and support the circular economy.
Companies can have a positive impact on the environment if they make small changes in how they use and dispose of materials. For instance, our Waste Management solutions provide efficient and environmentally friendly ways to ensure your meeting environmental safety standards.
Review your work processes and see what difference you can take. Any business can lead innovation if they take responsibility for their products and waste and commit towards a brighter, and greener, future.
National Recycling Week was founded by Planet Ark in 1996 with the mission to bring national focus to the environmental benefits of recycling. It runs from Monday 9 November until Sunday 15 November 2020.

Pallet Bin Base and Rotator Frame MegaBin
11th January, 2018 | by materialshandlingDesigned to bolt onto a standard MegaBin, the MegaBin Mobile Base is perfect for waste handling and emptying. An incredibly incredible and uniquely strong solution, this attachment makes MegaBin mobile and able to be rotated. Such functions significantly improve productivity in a workplace. They allows bins to become more flexible and versatile.
The MegaBin Mobile Base attaches securely to the frame of a MegaBin (via bolts in 6 positions, with fasteners supplied). This then allows the MegaBin to be easily transported or wheeled around a workshop. The robust design of the frame also allows for complete rotation of the bin if necessary (where a forklift is fitted with a 180o or 360o degree rotating attachment).
