Safety of Equipment for Yards and Construction Sites

Investment for farm or yard based business calls for a good deal of attention to the quality of materials used there. In Australia and New Zealand, many farm owners also look for good quality livestock handling equipment to keep their farm animals safe.

For cattle yards in Sydney, there is a choice of livestock panels in terms of size and designs. But these should only be purchased from organisations that comply with different industry standards specific to Australia. These are for the safety and comfort of animals that stay in the yards. The purpose of these panels is to ensure that the animals do not stray out into unknown or unsafe zones.

The longevity of the livestock handling equipment should also be checked before putting money into them. Will they withhold the severity of weather and terrain? Or will they get start getting layers from the first rain of the season? The details for the kind of materials used in making them must be discussed with the organisation’s representatives.

Most of the approved organisations producing farm equipment also manufacture scaffolding equipment for construction works. Scaffolding products are necessary for a number of industries in either direct or some indirect way. Almost everything that is being worked upon at sites needs support in some or the other way. It could vary from under construction & unfinished/semi-finished structures to temporary & folding set ups that can be created to serve different purposes in various situations.

The most important use of scaffolding is found in the construction industry and for some manufacturing units. Also, to a great extent it is used in storage spaces to keep large scale industrial and/or retail products.

Generally, scaffolding used around the world today is divided into four main types. The categories include Tube and Coupler (fitting) elements, pre-fabricated modular system scaffold components, H-frame or facade modular setup scaffolds, and timber scaffolds. Each of these is manufactured with a variety of components that typically comprise:

-A base jack or plate that bears load for the scaffold -The standard that is the upright component with connector joins -The ledger (horizontal brace) -The transom - a horizontal cross section load bearing part to grasp the batten, board or decking unit -Brace diagonal and/or cross section bracing part -Batten or board decking part used to build the working platform -Coupler a fitting used to join parts together -Scaffold tie that can tie in the scaffold to structures -Brackets that are used to extend the width of working platforms

In addition to the components mentioned above there are specialized parts that are used to help in use of scaffolding as a temporary structure. These slot-in heavy duty load bearing transoms, stairway or ladder units for the ingress and egress of the scaffold, beams ladder/unit types used to cover obstructions and rubbish chutes used to remove waste from the scaffold or construction site.

It may be farm equipment or scaffolding supplies, ensure that you are going for a brand that has been in business for long and has gained good reputation over the years.
