Sitecraft’s comprehensive range of material handling equipment and manual handling equipment includes a large selection of mechanical aids designed to improve workplace safety and increase worker productivity. Mechanical material handling and lifting equipment is widely used to assist workers to move, lift and carry heavy and awkward items in the workplace. We have models available all throughout Australia including Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.
Powered aids include drum handling and drum lifting equipment, pallet movers and lifters, forklift and crane attachments. Manual handling equipment aids used to assist workers in the safe movement of goods and products include pallet jack/trucks, skid lifters, trolleys, winches and lifting trolleys. When implementing these mechanical aids, they should always be easy and safe for the operators to use and designed to suit the task and load being handled. It is also important when introducing new handling solutions and lifting equipment, that all necessary training and instruction in the safe use and operation is undertaken.
Sitecraft also offers spring-operated, self-levelling turntables that are ideal for pallets (pallet lifting) and materials lifting. These are sometimes called spring pallet levellers. The popular spring pallet positioner is available with a range of spring combinations, enabling it to be used with different pallet weights. It’s also available in either a durable galvanised or stainless-steel finish, making it the ideal pallet lifter for sterile food processing areas. This versatile material handling equipment also minimises the chances of back injury to operators while loading or unloading palletised goods.
Drum handling equipment is used to safely lift, turn and decant from steel and plastic drums. Our range includes battery/hydraulic and air operated units to create intrinsically safe environments. Drum lifters and rotators are also available for use with forklifts.
Sitecraft also supplies a comprehensive range of forklift attachments for sale. You can buy container ramps, forklift jibs, cranes, waste tipping bins, fork extension pockets, and safety cages. Forklift mounted brooms are used for many heavy-duty sweeping operations.
We also stock wheelie bin tippers that are ideal for emptying wheelie bins into larger skip bins. The Versatip bin tipper designed to suit a wide range of bin sizes and configurations. Wheelie bin tippers and wheelie bin lifters can be supplied for use with mains power and battery/electric. A solar-powered wheelie bin lifter and bin tipper unit is also now available for remote locations where other power sources may not be available. One of our popular bin tipper models, the Maxitip is specially designed for tipping large mobile dump bins and skips. Custom-built bin lifting and bin tipping units are also available for manufacturing industries, ideal for tipping raw materials and ingredients onto production lines.
Movexx tow tugs are one of Europe’s leading powered handling devices. These powered pedestrian tugs are used to assist in pushing or tugging heavy trolleys and loads around. Sitecraft can supply these in towing capacities ranging from 1000 kg up to 50 tonnes. We also offer stainless steel tugs that can be used in the food and pharmaceutical manufacturing industries.
In addition to our wide range of handling and lifting solutions, we also offer other material handling equipment devices, designed to lift materials, such as low profile scissor lift tables, battery operated lifters, goods hoists, and conveyors. All of these materials lifting aids help assist in providing safe handling solutions to a wide range of industries and applications.
Air bearings or skids are innovative handling and lifting devices that raise and support loads on a cushion of air. This unique airlifting equipment operates like a hovercraft. Sitecraft’s air bearings feature a urethane flexible diaphragm located beneath the load support surface. As compressed air is released onto the diaphragm and passes through the small holes located on the underside, a cushion of air is created lifting the load of the ground. Air castors have many advantages over traditional rollers or load skates. They allow omni-directional movement for maximum flexibility, cushioned near friction less movement with extremely high load capacities. Air operated handling and lifting equipment includes air utility platforms and pneumatic/air operated pallet trucks.
To learn more about our air castor systems and airlifting and moving equipment, contact the expert sales team at Sitecraft. We have three conveniently located service centres and warehouses in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. This allows us to provide Australia-wide service. Looking for warehouse conveyors? We can help with those too.
