The challenge
Maintenance teams needed a better way to move conveyor rollers on narrow, sloping walkways while managing manual handling and uncontrolled movement risks.
The solution
Warequip worked with BHP’s maintenance and rigging teams, including site reviews and testing on a purpose-built walkway. A Zallys-based powered trolley was developed with four-wheel drive, contained storage and a telescopic extension for scaffolding.
The application
The resulting Powered Stacker Trolley was developed for the maintenance task, with the project record noting BHP approval for that process in September 2018.
