Fire Hose Reels That Deliver Reliable Performance in Any Emergency

Image
  Fire protection infrastructure on Australian worksites is only as effective as the equipment at its core. Fire hose reels that have been degraded by UV exposure, corrosion, or inadequate maintenance are a liability in an emergency rather than a protective asset.

Protect Drilled Blast Holes with Hole Savers

Image
  Every drilled blast hole represents time, fuel and wear on the drill rig. If loose material falls back in before charging, the hole may need redrilling, which slows the whole blast schedule. Hole savers from FSP Oz Products fit into the collar of each hole, keeping dirt, rocks and debris out until the crew is ready to load. Made from blow moulded polyethylene, they suit open cut mines, quarries and construction blasting alike.   How Hole Savers Protect Drill and Blast Work   Drilled holes face plenty of threats between drilling and charging. Foot traffic, vehicle movement, drill rig impact and nearby blasts can all push material back into the hole or erode the collar. Wet conditions can also cause collar erosion and slumping inside the hole.   Hole savers help keep the drilled depth intact and the collar in shape, which supports consistent charging and blast quality. They also act as a visual marker, warning people and vehicles that a drilled hole is there. Explos...

Keep Herds Hydrated with a Cattle Water Trough

Image
    Keep Herds Hydrated with a Cattle Water Trough Cattle need steady access to clean water, which affects weight gain, milk production and general herd health. A reliable cattle water trough puts that supply right where stock graze, cutting down on long walks back to dams or creeks. FSP Oz Products makes a 1000 litre polyethylene trough that suits dairy, beef and mixed farms across Australia. Paired with a tank, it forms a simple watering point that keeps working through hot, dry spells. What to Look for in a Cattle Water Trough Capacity comes first. A 1000 litre trough holds enough to keep a mob going between refills while its size makes it practical to move between paddocks when grazing rotates. Larger herds may need two troughs in one paddock to reduce crowding. Material comes next. Concrete troughs can crack and steel can rust along the waterline, whereas heavy duty polyethylene avoids rust and is lighter to handle when empty. Smooth surfaces make scrubbing out algae and...

Stop Rollaways on Slopes with a Wheel Chock

Image
  A parked vehicle on even a slight slope can start rolling once the brakes are released or a load shifts. A wheel chock wedged against the tyre stops that movement, protecting workers, equipment and the vehicle itself. FSP Oz Products makes the Oz Choks® range from tough polyethylene, with sizes for cars and caravans through to haul trucks on mine sites. Farms, transport depots, ports and mines all use them as part of everyday parking procedures. Wheel Chock Sizes for Every Type of Vehicle Chock size needs to suit the tyre, since an undersized chock can slip out under load. Using chocks in pairs and placing them on the downhill side gives a firmer hold. Chocks should also be checked regularly for cracks or wear. Black and yellow options also help separate chocks by vehicle type. Colour also plays a role. Bright yellow chocks are easy to spot on busy sites, while black suits areas where a lower profile look is preferred. Polyethylene won’t rust or corrode, even after years of mud,...
