Why get custom lifting equipment designed?
So why it is important to consider a design process with health and safety in mind?
- Good design reduces the risk of work-related injuries.
- It reduces damage to property and environment and the related costs.
- Safe design increases the health, well-being and productivity of workers.
- Eliminating hazards at the design stage is cheaper than managing risk later in the life cycle!
Sometimes we use two cranes and strops etc. to get a one-off lift done. But what if we're doing that lift again and again? What if our setup ties up two cranes and several personnel? Every lift then takes more time and costs more money than it needs to. Then what if someone gets hurt? Health and safety isn't just a buzz word. These are our fellow workers, their safety is our responsibility. Lost time accidents cost everyone. If OSH or WorkSafe get involved the costs mount, and your operation might get shut down.
Out of 639 work-related fatalities from 2006 to 2011, one-third (188) of the fatalities was caused by unsafe design or design-related factors. And it is important to consider health and safety risk at the design stage to eliminate or minimize the risk of injury throughout the life cycle of the lifting equipment.

Motovated engineers believe in ‘Health and Safety by Design’. Our engineers consider health, safety and your risk from the very start of the design process. At Motovated we design our lifting equipment to provide an engineered level of protection to the end users. No need to have a BMW where a VW will do! And we believe in managing risks in the design stage of lifting equipment rather than addressing risk in a later stage. Motovated's ‘Health and Safety by Design’ saves time, money and lives!

Lifting Equipment Case Study:
Steelbro Sidelifter Case Study:
Steelbro NZ Ltd produces innovative container handling equipment for the container transport industry. Their sidelifter trailers are recognised for their quality and innovation worldwide.
Steelbro approached Motovated Design & Analysis with the challenge to create a new sidelifter design that was:
- Unique and would expand their catalogue by offering a ‘bridge-leg’ solution.
- Lighter than previous designs.
- Interchangeable with Steelbro’s current range of trailer bases.
- Versatile enough to stabilise on various ground conditions and on a parallel trailer deck.
- Designed to, and conforms with, international standards.

About Motovated
Motovated Mission is to harness the synergy between design and analysis, and we do this with boundless enthusiasm! We provide clients with better products, quicker time to market and significantly reduced risk.
One of the key ways we help our clients to achieve this is to provide Seconded Engineers in-house where necessary, and help them off-load projects where possible. Some of the advantages of off-loading are the elimination of distractions, and the ability to utilise firms focused on best practice implementation of specialist technologies.
Motovated provides Mechanical Engineering Services, specialising in Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) technologies, and has implemented best practice use of all of our technologies, included 3D (associative) CAD, MathCAD and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) solutions. Effective implementations of these tools require rigour and training to get the best results; and we add that value to our clients every day!
