Workshop & Industrial Equipment.

Workshop & Industrial Equipment is the broader parent covering lifting + cranes + workshop tools + power tools + material handling. Lifting & Handling Equipment is the more focused jacks/cranes/lifters sub-collection. Use this parent for browsing across categories.

Lifting & Handling Equipment (jacks, cranes, presses), Workshop Fitouts & Tools (benches, storage, fans, heaters), Hand Tools & Accessories (hand tools), Workshop (parts wash + general workshop). Pick the sub-collection that matches the specific product type.

Keeping your workshop equipment in top shape doesn’t need to be hard - stick to a simple routine and you’ll extend lifespan, reduce downtime, and stay compliant.

Do this after each use:

• Wipe down high-touch surfaces and moving parts. Grit is the enemy of smooth operation.
• Inspect power cords and hoses on industrial equipment; tag out anything damaged.
• Park mobile gear like a workshop trolley with brakes on and loads secured.

Weekly checks:

• Lifting gear: Inspect your bottle jack for leaks, bent saddles, and smooth lift/hold. Use only on level, rated surfaces and pair with certified stands. Follow AS/NZS 2693 for vehicle support stands and keep SWLs visible.
• Cooling gear: Flush and clean pads on your evaporative cooler, check water quality, and clear inlet screens for strong airflow.
• Fasteners and locks: Tighten handles, lock collars, and casters on trolleys and benches to prevent creep and wobble.

Monthly/quarterly:

• Function-test emergency stops, guards, and cut-offs where fitted.
• Record services and electrical test-and-tag results (AS/NZS 3760) where applicable.
• Replace consumables before they fail - seals, pads, filters, and wheels are low-cost insurance.

Pro tip: Create a one-page maintenance checklist and hang it near your gear. Quick ticks, fewer headaches.

Safety starts at selection - and the right workshop equipment makes it easier to stay compliant and productive. Here’s a quick checklist to help you choose smart and work safer.

Key considerations:

• Lifting gear: Pick a bottle jack with capacity at least 25% above the heaviest load and pair it with rated axle stands. Use on level, stable surfaces only. Follow AS/NZS 2693 for vehicle support stands, and keep safe working loads clearly displayed.
• Electrical and tagging: Ensure powered industrial equipment is inspected and test-and-tagged on schedule per AS/NZS 3760 where applicable. Replace damaged leads immediately.
• Cooling and ventilation: If using an evaporative cooler, ensure good airflow (open doors/windows) and maintain clean pads and filters to prevent dust build-up and bacterial growth. Position to avoid trip hazards from water lines.
• Manual handling: Reduce push/pull forces with a sturdy workshop trolley. Look for lockable castors, ergonomic handles, and rated shelves. Secure loads and park with brakes engaged.
• Layout and traffic: Mark pedestrian lanes, keep clearances around machinery, and store heavy items between knee and chest height to minimise strain.

Pro tips:

• Standardise equipment across bays for consistent training and spare parts.
• Keep a simple maintenance log - small checks prevent big failures.
