Safety MITS specialises in innovative products designed to improve safety, and reduce fatigue and injury, while also increasing productivity in industries such as mining, materials handling, heavy equipment maintenance, and rail, among others. From Blox Safety Supports, to Zero G tool handling systems, dozer safety rails and other bespoke products, Safety MITS has solutions that can provide major benefits in many workplaces.
Recycled plastic Blox Safety Supports replace timber dunnage
Blox Safety Supports is a range of load-rated cribbing and jacking blocks designed to replace timber where it is used to support heavy equipment that has been lifted for service, access or repair. Timber blocks can contain unseen cracks, knots and other damage, making it impossible to be certain of their load-carrying capacity.
With the global loss of old-growth forests, hardwood timber is becoming a vanishing commodity. By contrast, Blox Safety Supports are manufactured from recycled materials using a controlled, repeatable formula with rigorous production and quality processes. This ensures consistent performance under load-bearing conditions. The cup and cone profiles provide positive interlocking when stacked, reducing the risk of load slippage.
Constructed from recycled materials, Blox Safety Supports are environmentally friendly, durable and have an extended performance life. They resist fuels, oils and most common industrial chemicals, are non-conductive and will not splinter, crack or rot.
Zero G arm system increases productivity while reducing fatigue and chance of injury
Zero G tool balancing systems operate without the need for electricity or compressed air, enabling workers to comfortably use heavy tools like roof bolt tensioners, impact drills, chipping hammers, and grinders for extended periods. Zero G arms support the weight of the equipment, reducing strain and fatigue from repetitive tasks such as drilling, tiling, chipping and grinding.
Capable of holding tool payloads of up to 23 kilograms, Zero G arms fully balance the weight, allowing users to manoeuvre the heavy tool freely, safely and accurately – reducing the risk of injury and fatigue. This system also minimises the risk of dropping heavy tools from heights and significantly reduces the likelihood of injuries from heavy tool use in awkward body positions.
Users have reported benefits such as increased productivity, ease of use and comfortable operation. The Zero G ergonomic tool arm offers various mounting options to suit different applications, such as portable gantries, trolleys, jib arms and linear rails. Additionally, the system requires minimal maintenance and has been successfully used in a range of industries – from aerospace and defence, to automotive manufacturing and heavy industries.
