PRODUCTS | What's new in Cribbing

​In August of 2015 we first introduced you to our range of Cribbing Blocks, products manufactured from recycled tyres that are used for stabilising heavy loads while at the same time optimising operator safety. Given almost two years has passed, we thought it was time to provide an update as there have been a number of developments since our last communication. Over the last two years we have had a number of conversations with customers about their exact needs when it comes to the cribbing product. This has allowed us to add to our range with a customer need firmly at the front of mind, while even offering​ customised solutions. Recently we had a request to modify existing product, while at the same time ensuring the integrity of the cribbing ​was maintained. Our customer needed a custom fit to a specific width and depth in order to use the cribbing within a set of jacks. These jacks were being used to hold up some large motors, so it was critical that we got the job right. Trevor Hutchinson, MMT’s resident cribbing specialist ​said, "the cribbing we put together worked great and importantly the customers was really happy." Trevor reckons that ”cribbing is actually a really important OHS tool. It is much safer to use this product than to use large heavy sleepers. I guess it’s just about taking the time to look at it with a long term view."​ Trevor also knows that justifying the cost of buying cribbing is the first thing that comes up when he is first talking to a prospective cribbing customer. “Again the long term view is important here, sure you can buy some wooden blocks cheaper, but with replacement costs and the like over a number of years, the cribbing product will always come out on top.” Keep an eye out for our new cribbing catalogue due out in the next few weeks, featuring our current range that includes : Cribbing Locking blocks Wedges Storage Blocks and Gluts Cog and Step Chocks Cable Hose Covers Car Wheels Stops Coil Pads Hose and Cable Crossings
