💦 Why Spill Containment is Critical for Environmental Protection 💦 Spill containment is crucial for safeguarding the environment, communities, and resources. Fast, effective management prevents widespread damage across industries, from manufacturing to health care. Here’s why it matters: 🔹 Prevents Environmental Contamination – Spills of hazardous materials can contaminate soil, water, and ecosystems. Containing them early reduces widespread damage. 🔹 Protects Wildlife & Ecosystems – Even small spills harm wildlife and disrupt ecosystems. Early containment preserves biodiversity and protects sensitive areas. 🔹 Ensures Compliance & Reduces Risks – Failure to contain spills can lead to penalties and legal issues. Spill containment ensures compliance and minimises risks. 🔹 Cuts Cleanup Costs – The faster a spill is contained, the less expensive and disruptive the cleanup process becomes. 🔹 Safeguards Human Health – Toxic spills pose health risks to workers and communities. Containing them prevents exposure and ensures safety.

We have a huge range ratchets, straps, shoring and load bars in stock. Actually we have a huge amount of stock across our entire range in our 6 branches. 2000 products If you need anything we are here to help you move your customers cargo. Happy New Year everyone.
🔒 Choosing the Right Ratchet Tie Down Assemblies for Different Loads 🔒 When it comes to securing cargo during transport, selecting the right ratchet tie-down assembly is essential. Different loads require different types of tie-downs for safety and effectiveness. Here’s how to choose the right one: 1. Consider Load Size & Weight: For light loads, standard 1" or 2" straps may be sufficient. For heavier cargo, opt for stronger 3" straps with higher load capacities. 2. Know the Working Load Limit (WLL): Always choose a tie-down assembly with a WLL that exceeds the weight of the cargo to ensure secure restraint. 3. Strap Material: Polyester is commonly used due to its strength, durability, and resistance to UV degradation—ideal for both indoor and outdoor transport. 4. Ratchet Mechanism: Ensure the ratchet mechanism is easy to operate and has a secure locking system. This prevents loosening during transit. 5. Cargo Type: For irregularly shaped or fragile loads, use softer, padded straps to avoid damaging the cargo. For bulky or industrial items, use wider straps for better load distribution. By choosing the right ratchet tie-down, you can ensure your load is secure and reduce the risk of damage during transport. Stay safe, stay secure! 🚛 #Logistics #CargoSecurity #LoadRestraint #RatchetTieDown #TransportSafety #Freight #Silverback

A big congratulations to Katrina on your appointment as a Director for Transport Women Australia Limited! From all of us at Silverback, we applaud your dedication to advancing the role of women in the transport industry. We’re excited to see the impact you’ll make in this important leadership role.
At their AGM last night Transport Women Australia Limited added four new Board Members, Loretta Hartley of Toowoomba, Claudia Foini and Ainsleigh Thomas of Sydney and Katrina Burns of Melbourne. They also said goodbye to Jo Hansen of Brisbane after one year on the Board. Jo has unfortunately been unwell throughout the year and TWAL thanks her for her valued service. Simone Reinertsen also left the Board in September after three years and we are very grateful for her contribution. The new directors join the team with Jacquelene Brotherton (2017) as Chair, Coralie Chapman (2016) as Vice Chair and Company Secretary, and Di Caldwell-Smith (2016), Penne Murphy (2021), and Katharina Zink Attana (2023) as Directors. Loretta Hartley is the Client Manager: Transport – AON Risk Services, Toowoomba Management of the Transport, Plant & Logistics Portfolio – Southwest Queensland. She has been in the transport insurance industry for approximately 12 years and is a long-term member of the TWAL team. She is currently a member of the Social Media Subcommittee. She has been recognized by the Transport Women Australia Limited Dream Maker Award and an Elite Woman in Insurance Top 50. Claudia Foini is the DXT NSW State Manager (Doble Express Transport) based in Sydney, she has 22 years of transport experience, has been a volunteer in our schools and careers initiative and brings a wealth of knowledge to the team. Ainsleigh Thomas is the NSW/ACT State Linehaul Manager for Startrack – NSW/ACT Operations. Ainsleigh was a 2023 TWAL Driving the Difference scholarship recipient, the inaugural TWAL 2024 Young Gunnette award Winner and a 2024 Road Freight NSW Emerging Leader finalist. She is currently a member of the Social Media Subcommittee. Katrina Burns is the State Manager VIC/TAS for Silverback Cargo Care, she has been in the transport and logistics industry for 12 years and was named as the VTA 2018 Young Achiever of the Year at the Australian Freight Industry Awards. These four directors will join with the five current directors to form the largest board to have taken command of Transport Women Australia Limited and will allow the organisation to continue its growth and produce further projects and initiatives to add ongoing value to present and future members. TWAL this year became a member of the ATA, continued its partnerships with Linfox, Prime Creative Media - Publishing and Viva Energy Australia and partnered with Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds Heads in Trucks and Sheds as well as embedding its membership of both the National Rural Womens Coalition, (Jacquelene is Vice President), and the Australian Gender Equality Council. #transportwomen #twal #drivingthedifference #livingthedream #creatingconnections #dreammaker #dreamaccelerator #womeninleadership
