Kyneton Saleyards are situated in the heart of the Macedon Ranges Shire Council, north of Melbourne’s CPD, and have a rich history and association with the township of Kyneton, dating back to 1860. Cattle are sold at the fortnightly prime sale and monthly sales while sheep and goats are sold at the fortnightly sales.
Elevated positions are required by the auctioneers and potential buyers to overlook the livestock. There were existing steelwork structures that the new platforms were required to be mounted on and finding a system that could be adapted to fit these needed the correct selection of appropriate products and ingenuity on behalf of those installing them to ensure a fit for purpose system.
Solution
Kattsafe’s modular aluminium platform and stair access systems were the perfect solution and now give farmers and auctioneers easy access to view the livestock during sales at Kyneton Saleyards.
Kattsafe platform and stairs lightweight aluminium design eliminated the need for cranage or heavy lifting, while the modular system provided a quick and straight-forward installation, which was carried out by our Approved Installer Anchor Safe.
Due to Kattsafe's unique T-bolt design the components could be adjusted to suit varying ground conditions and were able to be designed on-site to fit neatly and securely onto the existing steelwork.
The lightweight aluminium sections enabled personnel to carry them into position by hand and they were installed section by section causing limited disruption to operations.
