DESIGNED TO PROTECT FITTERS

NIVEK INDUSTRIES IS MAKING A NAME FOR ITSELF WITH HEAVY-DUTY MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT THAT THINKS OUTSIDE THE BOX.

- 

After narrowly escaping a serious workplace injury in 2008, Nivek Industries founder Kevin Cant knew something needed to be done to improve the safety of mining personnel carrying out site maintenance.

Cant was inspired to begin development of what would become the company’s flagship Tracked Elevated Device (TED), a remote-controlled all-terrain hydraulic belly plate jack designed for applications where a crane or forklift isn’t viable.

Since it was launched in 2011, the TED was quickly adopted by mining and quarry sites across the country and internationally, inspiring Nivek to implement multiple upgrades and enhancements so that it now has more than 40 versatile attachments available.

From fork tines 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 told Australian Mining.
