WesTrac
WesTrac, a leading provider of heavy machinery and equipment, faced significant challenges in the storage and handling of their rods and barrels. These components generate the force needed to lift and move large loads, which is crucial for the operation of equipment like excavators, bulldozers and other machinery commonly used in mining and construction. Maintaining the integrity and proper storage of these components is crucial for ensuring the machinery operates efficiently and safely. Keeping the rods and barrels together helps the operation run smoothly, ensuring smooth management of work in progress and reducing time spent locating components. Improper storage can lead to damage, which may compromise the equipment’s performance and potentially result in costly downtime or accidents.
Customised racking solution
Daywalk provided WesTrac with a specialised rod and barrel storage system designed to address their unique challenges.
A base pallet seamlessly slotted into the existing racking system to significantly improve racking compatibility.
Two cassette ‘children’ locked into a ‘mother’ pallet to securely hold the rods and barrels.
Pallet-racking compatible and keeps rods and barrels together rather than separate, helping operations to run smoothly.
The locking mechanism of the cassettes into the mother pallet ensured that the rods and barrels were held securely, reducing the risk of accidents.
Magnetic separator drums are transported safely, with ease.
“Awesome work from your DAYWALK team gentlemen. Improving safety across the board from manual handling, working at heights and also reducing risk to freight moving in transport.” – Warehouse & Logistics Superintendent, Fortescue
“Hi gents, Just walking around the yard here at Kenwick and saw this new beauty with a separator from Camco going to Fortescue’s Iron Bridge site – you’ve made me very happy! Thanks for adding the twist lock pockets to the design!” – Head of HSEQC, Ktrans
