Elevating workplace safety with Nivek Industries

After narrowly escaping a serious workplace injury back in 2008, Nivek Industries founder Kevin Cant knew something needed to be done to improve site safety for mining personnel. 

Fast forward three years and Nivek’s debut product was launched. The TED (Tracked Elevating Device), a remote-controlled scissor lift that helps to reduce hazardous workplace practices, including the need for manual handling during the dismantling of heavy machinery components. 

Quickly adopted by mining and quarry sites across the country and internationally, the TED’s all-terrain capabilities and various safety features were soon expanded with the introduction of an attachments range. From fork tynes and front jibs to extension blocks and even a dedicated trailer for easy transportation, the TED continues to help fitters finish every shift safely.

“At Nivek, we’re committed to developing innovative and safe products for mining and heavy industry that enhance workplace safety, efficiency and productivity,” Nivek general manager Derrick Cant said.

After many years of success and being used across various heavy industries, including rail, mining and civil construction, Nivek decided to level up and innovate its renowned product even further, developing the aptly named Big TED.

Fondly known as the ‘bigger brother’ of Nivek’s debut release, Big TED comes with an increased lifting capacity while embodying the same low profile and manoeuvrability capabilities of its little brother.

With joystick remote operation, unparalleled precision and a rechargeable battery offering up to two hours of continuous operation time, the Big TED is also compatible with a range of Nivek’s specially designed attachments offering high-powered versatility.

Not only has Nivek’s TED range helped to reduce the number of injuries on mining sites, but the Lift Assist (LA40 and LA80) equipment has also made the industry more accessible to personnel of all body types and capabilities.

“When you consider the tools themselves weigh 30kg to 40kg just to do up a nut or a bolt, our equipment has taken the weight out of the job – that physical requirement has been eliminated,” Cant said.
