Revolutionising Tirak Hoists: Our Custom Solutions for Burdekin Bridge in Queensland
The iconic Burdekin Bridge is a crucial infrastructure that connects communities and drives economic growth in North Queensland, Australia. Standard Access’ custom-engineered access solutions offer several site benefits. Benefits such as increased safety, reliability, and efficiency of the Tirak hoists at the Burdekin Bridge. These solutions ensure the continued safety and reliability of the bridge for the community and local economy. What this leads to is reduced maintenance costs, fewer equipment failures, and increased productivity.
Located in a tropical climate with extreme weather conditions, the bridge is vulnerable to heavy rainfall and tropical cyclones. The service provider of the Bridge, approached Standard Access to solve the problem of corrosion on the steel structure and gantry equipment.
Revolutionising Burdekin Bridge’s Safety & Reliability With Custom-Engineered Solutions
After conducting an on-site review. Standard Access identified the challenges in keeping the gantry operational. We then implemented custom-engineered solutions that offer several site benefits, for instance:
- Ensure the reliability of the hoist and prevent unexpected downtime.
The application of Alu Corrosive Paste/Sealant between the Motor Flange and Gear Box was undertaken. This was to protect the metal components from corrosion, extending their lifespan by sealing them against contamination. - Reducing maintenance, costs and downtime.
Anode Blocks, which act as a sacrificial anode and absorb corrosive agents, protect metal structures from corrosion, preserving the integrity of the metal. Drain Hole in Main Casing prevents internal contamination and extends the lifespan of the hoist while maintaining its performance - Prevent unexpected equipment failures and safety hazards.
Alu Spray Protection on Entire Hoist/Blocstop prevents contamination. It also maintains the structural integrity and reliability of the machines, ensuring safe and efficient operation. - Improved safety, extending the equipment’s lifespan and saving money.
Rubber Sleeves around Electro Brake Disc reduce contamination on the brake disc and maintains its performance. Whilst implementing a servicing program every 6 months ensures the equipment remains in good working condition and enables the detection and resolution of any weather or corrosion-related issues before they become major safety and expenditure problems.
Improved Flexibility & Reduced Downtime: Plug Connection Upgrade
In addition, Standard Access converted the hard wiring of the hoist to a plug connection, providing significant time and cost savings during maintenance and servicing. The plug connection enables quick change-outs and easy disconnection, reducing downtime and improving maintenance and repair capabilities. This upgrade ensures a safer and more flexible hoist, leading to increased productivity and fewer safety hazards.

Opting to hire a hoist operator via Standard Access has already provided peace of mind to a host of companies and can assist
yours through…
Less Downtime, Fewer Costs, Less Management.
A highly trained hoist operator has worked with Standard Access equipment numerous times in the past. Though the machinery is unlikely to break down, these hoist operators are much more likely to diagnose any issues that may be slowing the efficiency of the construction process. This can put all equipment back into action quicker, save the cost of calling out a technician and prevent any downtime that could impede the completion of a job.
Where required, all Standard Access hoist operators can also contact the Standard Access team on your behalf and work through all mechanical fixes to get all equipment working to its full potential again. They are also more than happy to help with the coordination of site erections to guarantee the construction job is completed as efficiently as possible.
When a hoist operator is not needed for lifting purposes, they are also trained in general labour and can help clean the site and complete odd jobs to speed up the process.
Up to $5,000 Savings in Cleaning and Damage Costs
All those who hire a hoist operator will also receive a plant cleaning waiver for all personnel & material hoists, which ensures that the operator or Standard Access takes full responsibility for the cleaning process. This will save construction companies and business owners thousands of dollars in their own cleaning supplies or resources. Not only this, but it means that workers can spend more time focusing on the job at hand, rather than keeping machinery clean.
Businesses will also receive a damage waiver, which covers them in the event of damage to the machinery, if the damage was at the fault of the Standard Access hoist operator. This will guarantee that all maintenance responsibilities fall in the hand of the Standard Access teams and responsible parties, and will not impede the profits of your job.
