  • About Materials Handling

    Moving material around work sites can be laborious and time-consuming, reducing a job's profitability. With our range of material handling equipment, you can significantly boost productivity and profitability, seeing a quick and impactful return on your investment.

    From mortar tubs to stillages and even wheelbarrows, many types of equipment can reduce the need for manual handling, increasing the rate at which materials can be moved through and around a work site. This has the knock-on impact of ensuring that workers are not waiting on materials, reducing labour costs and enhancing productivity.

    Waste material is often overlooked when it comes to material handling systems, and our collection of products perfectly addresses this. It allows you to easily carry out bulk handling, loading, and unloading of waste and rubble with ease, keeping the site clear and clean and further improving work productivity.

    Trolleys

    Tub trolleys are ideal for use on smooth floors. They allow workers to transport goods quickly and efficiently across a site or workplace with minimal effort and quadruple the weight of products transported in a single movement.

    Mortar

    Moving mortars, plaster, and slurries around the site quickly and safely is essential for all construction sites. Our range of mortar tubs is specially designed for the job.

    Rubble

    Hard-wearing rubble transporters with tipping facilities allow you to move loads of hardcore and rubble with a forklift truck and tip them into larger waste receptacles.

    Stillages

    Specially designed to transport high volumes of hard-to-stack items, stillages allow the fast and effective transport of items such as road plates and mats without worry of them tipping or falling off a pallet.

    Tools

    Mobile, lockable tool vaults allow essential tools and equipment to be transported around the site securely and effectively.

    Key Considerations When Purchasing Materials Handling Equipment

    Power Source

    Do you need something man-powered, moved by a forklift or a crane?

    Terrain

    If you are looking at a wheeled solution, is the floor that the unit is working across flat or rough? If so, ensure you choose something with a suitable wheel design.

    Material

    What material are you moving? A system for moving screed around the site will have very different requirements from a system for moving barriers.

    Environment

    Is the environment in which the system is being used considered hostile due to a high chance of corrosion? Therefore, it needs to be either plastic, stainless steel, or even food-safe.

    Security

    You need to consider who has access to the chosen system's contents. This is especially important for high-value items such as tools and copper pipe and cables.

    Containment

    If transporting barrels of lubricants or hazardous liquids around the site, do you need something bunded or double-skinned?

    Access

    Do you need to be able to move your chosen system through tight, narrow aisles or other restricted areas?
