Materials Handling Equipment

As anyone who’s done heavy-duty work can attest, having the right tool for the job makes all the difference, and it rings even more true when working with dangerous materials.

BIG Safety offers a wide range of handling solutions to help your workers manage materials, including drum management, spill control and manual handling. Outfit your team with BIG Safety products to create a safe and efficient work environment. 

Manual Handling

A good trolley is a worker’s best friend, it allows for safe, easy and quick transport of items without strain or discomfort. Our trolleys can handle up to 300kg and include the following features:

Foot Operated Brake Kits

While moving heavy loads easily is great, getting them to stop once in motion is a lot more important. To prevent accidents and keep workers in control, all our trolleys include foot-operated brake kits. 

Ease of Storage

If space is limited, consider going for our foldable models, which are just as strong, but can be put away when not in use. 

Drum Handling

Safely managing and manipulating drums is crucial to prevent workplace injuries. As useful as they are for storage and transport of liquids, drums can pose a serious health risk; not just because of their contents, but because of their sheer weight and unwieldy shape. 

We offer a wide range of products designed to help workers safely manipulate drums in the following ways: 

Depalletisation and Transport

Simply removing drums from a pallet can be a difficult and strenuous job, as workers can overload their backs while struggling to get the heavy drums out of the pallet. 

We offer an easier way, our depalletizers allow safe and easy transfer from pallets to the ground, both from the side and from corners, after which they can be easily moved about using our trolleys. 

Decanting and Turning

Our cradles offer an effortless way of turning drums horizontally in a safe and controlled manner, which is crucial to prevent denting, spills and possible injuries. 

Whether it be for easier handling, storage or decanting, with the help of our cradles, one worker alone can easily and safely shift drums to horizontal or vertical. 

Storage

When working with hazardous chemicals, storage is just as important as proper handling. We offer a comprehensive catalogue of dangerous goods storage cabinets, including those for flammable chemicals and waste. 

Spill Control

Spills are an unfortunate reality when working with drums, while best avoided they’re bound to happen eventually. However, having the proper precautions in place can be the difference between a mere setback and a disaster, even more so when dealing with hazardous chemicals.

Spill-Proof Storage and Operation

The best way to deal with spills is to be prepared. Our spill-proof pallets and caddies include sumps to contain spills from leaks or improper usage and prevent it from spreading over a wider area. 

Spill Containment

When worst comes to worst and things spill, clean-up is the priority. We offer spill socks and pads to soak up runoff liquids, as well as waste bags, waste bins and spark-proof shovels to deal with flammable chemicals.
