FRM installed Freight Mate at Buckby Motors

March 8th, 2019

FRM installed Freight Mate is a critical link for Buckby Motors in Tasmania

A custom Freight Mate in Buckby Motor’s Galvin Street facility is being utilized to facilitate the 2 levels of their refurbished service centre.

With customers, service and spare parts sales at the upper level and deliveries at the lower level the Freight Mate forms a vital link in transporting all spare parts within the facility.

Buckby’s service manager Nathan Wooley said they had given it a solid workout with full pallets of goods beyond 1000kg and it has handled it all with ease.

Safetech’s distributor in Tasmania handled the Freight Mate specification, installation and after sales support, with this 4600mm Freight Mate being installed in 3 pieces from the lower level.

With branches in Devonport, Launceston and Hobart FRM provide a great support and coverage for Safetech products in the apple isle.

In addition to the Freight Mate installation, the new Buckby site also had an existing Tieman Scissor hoist (now part of Safetech’s product line). FRM were commissioned to relocate and repurpose this existing scissor to the new Buckby’s parts receiving department on the lower level.

2 Quality Installations in Tight Spaces

February 1st, 2019

Our installation team showcase how Safetech’s expertise and talent can overcome the greatest of challenges.

Both the patient transport lift at the Epworth Hospital and this Dock Hoist at Bexley North presented very challenging site conditions and accessibility restrictions.

Tight corridors and small openings made installation difficult for both projects. But through the work of our talented Installation Engineers and our on-site techs, we were able to come up with solutions to get the jobs done efficiently.

Epworth Hospital Patient Lift

For the Epworth Hospital patient lift, a crane was used to get the lift close to the opening, but then we used a custom Gorbel monorail system to slide the platform into place.

Ergonomics were considered to ensure a smooth installation without risk of injury to the team.

Bexley North Goods Hoist

Bexley North was a unique challenge. The narrow street and small doorway meant only smaller vehicles and forklifts could be used during the install, so larger cranes could not be used to remove the existing Dock Hoist or insert the new Safetech Hoist.

To overcome this, the existing table was cut down into manageable pieces for removal. For the new replacement, our skilled Engineers designed a platform that consists of 3 manageable pieces, that can be assembled in position without compromising its load capacity or structural integrity.

If you have a complex site and everyone else has said they can’t help. Give us a call, because chances are, we can!

Points of Difference: Hoist and Vehicle Lift Controls

November 23rd, 2018

Take the Quiz, which would you prefer in your facility

People say that your competition is your greatest motivator. They challenge you to improve and be better than you would be on your own.

This may be true for most Industries, but when you see examples of what our competition are leading with in terms of user experience and finishes on their hoists, it makes you wonder if they are trying at all.

We at Safetech pride ourselves on our forward-thinking approach to design. We are always refining our products, improving their ergonomics, performance and reliability. On the surface, we also want our products to match the quality of finish expected by both our customers, as well as the end user.

For our Self Storage Hoists and Vehicle Lifts, we now look to the high-end personnel lift market as the benchmark to aim for.

Deep Grey Freight Mate Install in the Adelaide Hills

November 9th, 2018

The custom paint Freight Mate that triggered a new standard.

Safetech is proud to showcase this recently completed Freight Mate install in the Hills of Adelaide.

This Freight Mate was ordered in Dulux Teahouse Grey to match the aesthetic of the building.

We at Safetech were so impressed with the quality of the finish and its durability in transit that we decided to explore a similar finish as our new standard.

After some exploration of the range and a little bit of focus testing, we have chosen Colorbond’s ‘Monument’ as our standard offering for all Freight Mates ordered from today.

Our original colours, Safetech Blue with Safety Yellow doors, will remain as our premium offering for that high contrast bold statement in your factory. But this will now be provided by request only.

As with all our Freight Mates, the pitless design means that this was easily installed without any complicated preparation or digging of a concrete pit. This eliminated the work for building anchoring or on-site welding that makes all our Freight Mates much easier to fit into existing buildings with difficult access.

Features

Same side entry
Interlock
Custom floor to floor height
Intuitive simple to use controls
Roll on and Off with ease
Lower cost alternative to traditional freight hoists
Self-supporting

Safetech Freight Mate is the compact, modular solution to goods movement in any building that requires transfer of product between floors.

Symbion Victoria’s Recessed Lift tables and Pallet Dispensers

October 29th, 2018

Improved efficiency in working and loading

After fitting eighteen AS1-900 Scissor lift Platforms to their facility in Victoria in 2013, Symbion continued their association with Total Lifting Solutions Australia Pty Ltd and Safetech to provide and assist them with the installation of eighteen Lift Tables recessed into the floor and 2 Pallet Accumulators, for their Queensland Distribution Centre. The Lift Platforms were Fitted with the flush mount Safetech Paldisc which allowed them to have the ability to rotate and elevate the platform to always be in the optimal working position.

This eliminated the use of ride on forklift trucks form the work area creating a safer working environment for the staff.

The lift platforms are controlled close to the operator platforms allowing them to control the raise and lower safely yet without leaving their work area.

The Pallet Accumulators were constructed to fit next to each other with the built- in power packs fitted on opposite sides allowing access for maintenance and repair without having to work in a cramped area.

These units are loaded by hand pallet truck and unloaded using a ride on forklift. They have been designed to accommodate Chep and Loscam pallets.

Once installed, the Safetech Pallet Dispensers are an obvious choice in standardising how pallets are handled and stored. No need for complex stacking, signage and storage practices. They also help prolong the life of all pallets by keeping them in sequential rotation.
