August is Tradies National Health Month

Did you know that tradies make up over one third of the Australian workforce?

Tradies also make up more than two thirds of all serious claims for worker’s compensations (according to Safe Work Australia). Statistics from Safe Work Australia suggest that from 107,355 serious claims lodged (2014-15), 90% were serious claims due to injuries and musculoskeletal disorders.

Prevent manual handling injuries

One of the causes of workplace injury is lifting heavy loads above shoulder height. Straining to empty wheelie bins into large skip bins can present back, arm and shoulder problems that can lead to time off work and also interfere with a healthy lifestyle.

Choose the safe option

Reduce the risk of strain by using a bin lifter to tackle heavy loads, while minimising the risk of injury.

Our Australian-made Rugged bin lifters provide the perfect solution for managing waste on construction sites, industrial sites, factories, mines and spark-free environment, while enabling a single user to safely lift up to 150 kg with minimal effort. The Rugged range is available in two models:

• Rugged Manual bin lifter: a spark-free, hydraulic hand pump operated unit.

• Rugged Powered bin lifter: a push-button, smart charge, battery power operated unit.
