Heated clothing and winter site needs for tradies

Winter is here and it’s the ideal time to update your site basics. From protective coatings to heated clothing, we have you covered.

Heated clothing

Yep, we’ve muttered a few profanities rolling out of bed on a cold winter’s morning to get to work. But if you whack on Makita’s range of heated jackets and vests, you can keep the cold out and your body warm. With three different heat settings, a wind- and water-resistant outer shell and in a variety of sizes, everyone onsite will want them.

Warm clothing for on and offsite

There’s nothing worse than feeling the cold. But, what if you could keep yourself warm and also head to the local afterwards in your work gear and still look the goods? Hard Yakka’s range of trucker and quilted jackets, zoodies and cargos will keep you warm, while their Hi Vis range of shirts and safety boots will keep you safe on-site.

Glass Protection

When exposed to extreme cold, glass contracts, creating tension within the material. The last thing we want is minor or moderate abrasions to scratches to do extensive damage to the glass on our site. Builders Edge Protective Window Film is self-adhesive and easy to apply, protecting glass for up to 30 days against mortar stains and other residue.

Extension cord

Offering durability and a 20m reach, the HPM Workshop Extension Lead comes in hi-vis yellow and has a clear plug and socket for easy inspection.

Power centre

Safety should be number one onsite. The HPM Electresafe Power Centre’s built-in features include an RCD safety switch which cuts power within 30 milliseconds if the supply neutral is lost, and an MCB for localised overload protection. Lead is 1.8m long.

Powerboard

With a generous 3.1m lead and sockets for two transformers, the HPM PlugBoss 6 Outlet Powerboard also has surge protection for connected devices.

Site lights

Short days shouldn’t mean working in dim conditions. The Arlec 2 x 20W LED Worklight with Tripod provides 3200lm, 5000K daylight colour temperature and a 110° beam angle. Adjust to suit on the easy-to-assemble tripod. Also IP65-rated weather resistant.

Floor Protection

Prevent water, paint, mud and more from damaging worksite floors with Ram Board Plus Temporary Floor Protection. It comes pre-taped for faster fitting, reducing your installation time by up to 40 per cent.

Heavy-duty mask

With a comfortable latex-free silicon mask, the Citeco A1P2 Half Face Respirator Kit is your go-to if you work with solvents, paints and thinners. It also provides 94 per cent filtration protection from dust generated by grinding, sanding, drilling and sawing, plus welding and fertiliser fumes, as well as fire smoke.
