Handrails Ball Fence
3rd March, 2017 | by excitemediaBall Fence is a galvanised, tubular handrail system that can be used in a range of configurations due to its versatile design. It provides a protective safety barrier, which defines walkways and separates pedestrians from moving vehicles and forklifts. It allows people to access pathways safely while also safeguarding building assets or valuable equipment.
The Ball Fence Handrail Systems comply with relevant Australian Standards (like AS1657:2013) and is the perfect choice for safety. It is suited for both internal and outdoor use. The post components add support and are modular. Barrier strength derives from the combination of the top rail (handrail – 42 mm OD pipe) and centre rail (knee rail – 33 mm OD pipe).
Ball Fence components are usually constructed on-site or delivered to the job site in parts for easy installation. Assembly is quick and easy and can be completed by anyone on site.

Pallet Inverter Stationary Hands-Free
16th May, 2024 | by Matthew BrittainIf you are looking for a pallet turner, this is the fastest and most compact pallet inverter on the market patented by Toppy.
It’s the first automatic pallet inverter that does not require operators.
The pallet change operation begins initially by trasporting the load inside the machine. Immediately after, the operator activates the automatic pallet inverting system via a push-button panel which blocks the product safely.
Subsequently, the operator activates the rotation of the load at 120° and opens the upper platform. At this point, the operator activates the side shifting of the new pallet instead of the old pallet.
The pallet inverting operation ends with the closing pf the upper platform and the rotation of the load by 120°. For certain products such as bags, it is possible to replace the pallet without tipping the load by 120 °.
This pallet turner can handle products with a maximum weight of 1500 kg and a maximum height of 2000 mm.
The “Hands Free” differs from other types of pallet inverters because changes the pallet by shifting the load, withouth the need of operators.
It is considered the fastest pallet inverter in the world, capable of handling up to 50 pallets per hour. Our stationary pallet inverters are available in the manual version, with a button panel, or in the automatic version with PLC.
The pallet turner “Hands Free” is an extremely versatile solution suitable for various industrial sectors such as the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, cosmetics, ceramic sectors, etc.

How To Boost Your Profits With The Right Jib Crane
2nd January, 2024 | by ConetixSupportSelecting the Perfect Jib Crane to Meet Your Business Needs
Choosing the perfect jib crane streamlines your operations and significantly boosts profits by enhancing efficiency and reducing operational costs. We offer a wide range of material handling products, each made for different jobs – but which is right for your business?
To make the right decision, you need to know which piece of material lifting equipment you need so that it aligns perfectly with your business’s unique requirements. The solution is to consider specific factors that define each crane, such as how much weight they can lift, where you’ll use them, and how much space they need.
Let’s start with an overview of our fleet of material handling products and then move on to the specifics that help you select the best one for your business.
Types of Jib Cranes
At Materials Handling, we have four different categories of jib cranes, as well as supporting equipment – here’s a quick overview of these cranes and their uses.
1. Davit Cranes
Ideal for portable lifting, the Aluminium Porta-Davit and T-Davit models offer flexibility and ease of movement. These cranes are especially useful in outdoor and remote job sites, as they can easily be transported and set up quickly for tasks such as construction lifting and emergency rescue operations.
2. Floor Cranes
The Mobile Workshop crane is perfect for manoeuvring in tight spaces, ensuring material lifting is efficient even in constrained environments. These jib cranes are ideal for indoor use in warehouses and workshops, where their compact design allows for efficient lifting and handling of materials without obstructing regular operations.
3. Gantry Cranes
These include the Mobile and Mobile Aluminium Porta-Gantry models, which are suitable for larger-scale operations requiring mobility and robust lifting capacity. Gantry Cranes are valuable in shipyards, construction sites, and manufacturing plants, where they can handle heavy loads and provide essential support for tasks such as equipment assembly and lifting and transporting heavy materials.
4. Specialised Jib Cranes
The Aluminium MechRail, Articulated, Low Headroom, Portable MobiCrane, Modular JibFlex, and Workstation material handling products cater to specific requirements. For example, low headroom spaces or the need for precise positioning.
5. Support Equipment
Jibs for Cable and Hose Supply, Quick-Lift Arms, and the Vacuum Lifter EasyCrane augment the functionality of jib cranes, facilitating smoother operations.
When choosing material lifting equipment, consider these factors
Now that we’ve explored different types of material lifting equipment and their applications, it’s important to focus on the key factors to consider when choosing the right jib crane for your specific business needs.
- Load Capacity: Match the crane’s capacity with your typical lifting requirements.
- Reach and Coverage: Ensure the crane’s arm length and rotation meet your workspace’s dimensions.
- Installation Requirements: Evaluate your facility for installation feasibility, including space and structural support.
- Maintenance Needs: Regular maintenance is vital for safety and longevity. Choose a crane with accessible parts and service options.
When you consider these factors and understand the unique applications of each jib crane, you’re in an excellent position to select the one that aligns perfectly with your business’s needs. For more details on our material lifting equipment, call us at 1300 258 407 or email us – we’re glad to help!

Folding trolley
17th May, 2022 | by support.gocreative
Choosing and using the right folding trolleyTrolleys come in a wide variety of styles, sizes, makes and models. Choosing the right trolley and using it safely is vital for occupational work health and safety. Making the right choice will help you eliminate or reduce risks to you and your team.
Learn more about the range of folding trolleys from Materials Handling today!
Understanding the law
The Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (OHS Act) and Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017 (OHS Regulations) lay out the responsibilities of employers and employees to comply with all legal obligations to workplace safety.
Some of the minimum requirements for trolleys of all kinds to ensure safe use in the workspace, include:
- Height adjustable spring or scissor base.
- Projecting handles.
- Clear height limit for loads and contents.
- Visible labels regarding load ratings and maximum item numbers.
- Working castors and wheels.
- Low resistance bearings.
Additionally, trolleys–along with all equipment–should be subject to regular maintenance and inspection checks.
Damaged trolleys should always be replaced or repaired before being used.
Choosing the right folding trolley
To ensure the health and safety of your workers, make sure you choose the right trolley based on the following factors:
- The task at hand.
- The materials or contents being transported.
- The physical capability and characteristic of the user.
- The layout of your work site, factory or warehouse.
- The distance that needs to be travelled.
- Gradients (slopes) in the workplace.
- Floor surface types.
- Presence of stairs and/or hallways and archways.
- Load characteristics of the trolley such as size, shape, weight and centre of gravity.
- How much the trolley will be used.
Why is choosing the right trolley so important?
Using the wrong sort of trolley or using a folding trolley incorrectly can cause a wide variety of injuries, most commonly musculoskeletal disorders. Fingers, toes, arms, legs and bodies can also be hit, crushed or otherwise harmed if safe precautions and usage procedures are not followed. Risk assessments
Your occupational work and health safety officer should run a risk assessment before using any new piece of equipment.
This assessment will include both an appraisal of the folding trolley or item in use and will include consultation with workers to ensure pre-existing physical and health conditions are known. Ongoing training in the use and servicing of trolleys and other machinery is very important for ensuring safety and minimising risks.
In the event that there is a workplace accident, having an emergency or medical protocol in addition to a first aid kit and first aid officer nearby, is not just an ethical obligation but a legal requirement.
Understanding the characteristics of your load
An essential part of understanding how to use your chosen folding trolley is knowing what sort of materials and loads can be safely transported using the trolley.
Hazardous substances – transporting or working with hazardous materials requires extra careful safety procedures.
Predictability – inanimate objects are less likely to be unpredictable compared to animals or people.
Fragility – how fragile is the load being carried and how can you minimise the risk of damage?
Weight – the weight, including weight distribution, will make a significant impact on how you use your trolley.
Temperature – is the load of an extreme temperature that could add risk to it being transported.
Hygiene – especially important for clinical or health settings.
Know your workers
Your team members will all have different characteristics. From height to vision, there’s a wide range of capabilities. For example, you might want to consider a trolley with vertical handles or you might need a trolley of a specific width and height to be safe to use for your employees.
To prevent injury, employees should be trained in safely using the folding trolley and have a working understanding of the different types of physical force that operating the trolley will require.
We are here to help you find the ideal and right folding trolleys for effortless movement around the workplace. Feel free to contact one of our consultants today to make the selection process easier for you.

Lifting and Handling Platform
30th October, 2021 | by materialshandlingWith our Lifting and Handling Platform, you can load and unload heavy machinery safely. Transporting heavy equipment around the worksite can now be completed with confidence as the Handling Platform can be carried by forklift or overhead crane.
The Lifting Platform is particularly helpful when devices need to be rolled onto the platform and then moved to another location. For example, a pallet truck can be rolled onto the Handling Platform at ground level. The forklift can then lift the platform to the tray of a vehicle for the pallet truck to then be safely rolled off the platform and onto the vehicle tray.
The platform has a recessed base, allowing it to fit into standard pallet racking. The reinforced sides assure the steel chassis design has excellent strength and durability. As such, it’s a robust materials handling and storage solution.
The lifting and Handling Platform is ideal for use in industries such as rental, manufacturing, and warehousing. In any application where awkward, heavy equipment and machinery is transported on a regular basis.
The ramp makes it simple to position rolling equipment on the platform. Of course, tie-down points are included to secure loads to the Handling Platform.
