Tool Carts

Similar to a toolbox, a tool cart is used to organize, carry, and protect the owner’s tools . Tool carts can be used for trade, home use, or DIY projects. These versatile organizers can be used to carry just about any piece of hand tools as well as a few, small power tools. Any good mechanic knows that possessing the proper tool cart is almost as essential as having the right tools. Keeping your arsenal of tools safe, organized, and available is important when projects must be accomplished efficiently and properly. Stop Wasting Time When tools are unorganized, workers find themselves spending too much time locating their tools. By tidying up your space and executing an organization strategy, it's easy for workers to locate and put back their tools as the day goes on. Implementing this strategy will ultimately make their work process more efficient. Cut Cost On Lost Tools Tools can be easily misplaced. They get lost frequently because of how easily they can get disorganized ...

Charging Stations

Most of us rely heavily on our mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Keeping them charged, therefore, is of utmost importance. In certain academic and professional environments, charging stations are an important part of ensuring the productivity and efficiency of students and employees. Charging stations are basically equipment that can simultaneously charge and store multiple mobile devices in one place. They are ideal for IT offices, schools, and faculty departments as they could help keep track of computer devices and ensure that they’re charged and ready for use when needed. The Benefits of Charging Stations What do we need charging stations for when we have electrical outlets, electrical cords, and chargers? While many of us may be used to plugging in a combination of chargers and electrical cords so we can charge devices somewhere close by, too many wires can be messy and even hazardous. A charging station comes with a number of slots , each of whi...

Charging Carts

Charging stations and lockers are a simple solution to complex problems. Laptop charging carts—or trolleys if that’s how you call them—are a mobile storage container and charger for your PC devices. Electricity Keeps Your Gadgets Going No matter how advanced the world has become, our gadgets will always need technology to function. You'd think that by now, we'd have laptops that never ran out of battery, but here we are. However, in this day and age, gadgets have become a necessity. Our work, school, and even our personal lives are heavily dependent on tablets, laptops, and phones to make things run smoothly. Charging carts are a way for employees to charge their laptops all at once to get them ready for the workday. Think of the charging cart as one big powerbank with ten times the amount of charging capacity—or even more. Ease of Transportation It’s a common sight to see a beeline of employees rushing towards the outlets in hopes of getting to the charging port f...

High Visibility Protective Accessories

We’ve all heard about high visibility outerwear. But how about high visibility protective accessories? Yes, a reflective jacket is useful when it comes to avoiding accidents, but you still need to protect the other parts of your body. These accessories protect the sensitive parts of your body like your eyes and hands from potentially damaging or irritating objects. Sun Shields Protect Workers From Heat Sun shields protect workers from the harsh sunlight while working in a construction site. These shields are best suited for outdoor activities, like when project managers walk around a site to oversee the construction process. Another option for sun protection would be to purchase a high viz cap . This type of cap is also fitted for snowy climates because the hats function as a beacon to alert oncoming vehicles and people of a worker’s presence Belts For Added Visibility Don’t have the budget for a full-body high visibility suit? Purchase a reflective belt and strap it around yo...

Flame Resistant Outerwear

Fire-resistant or FR clothing is a specialized type of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to protect individuals from fire-related hazards. Technically, FR clothing isn't fireproof. Instead, it is self-extinguishing and doesn't melt, which limits exposure to fire and injury thereby protecting workers even if they are engulfed in flames during an electric arc or flame condition. Flame-Resistant Vs. Flame-Retardant Flame-Resistant clothing is manufactured from materials that are inherently resistant to embers and flames, which means their threads and fibers will self-extinguish naturally. Flame-Retardant clothing, on the other hand, is made from chemically treated materials to produce equivalent self-extinguishing properties. The foremost difference between these two types of flame-resistant apparel is in the material. But, both materials will self-extinguish, reduce the likelihood and severity of burns, and adequately shield you from fire-related hazards. ...

High Visibility Outerware

Unlike working inside an office setting where blazers will suffice, working at a construction site can pose a high amount of safety hazards. Without wearing the right high visibility outerwear, the risk of injury is raised significantly, especially injuries related to struck-by hazards. High visibility clothing is worn by individuals in the construction industry, police officers, traffic directors, and even emergency medical technicians mainly because they are at risk of being injured by oncoming traffic or equipment. High Visibility Clothing Comes In Various Reflective Colors It’s essential that you choose the appropriate clothing for the job you’re doing. Fluorescent or enhanced-visibility vests are best suited for bright environments as they stand out despite the daylight. Take note that not all reflective clothing is fluorescent and not all fluorescent outerwear is reflective. Bright fluorescent colors are not suited for nighttime work. If your duty is at night, it’s best ...

Flat File Storage

The world may be shifting towards a paperless society, but the most important of documents are still kept in hard copy. Hard copy documents need to be kept in pristine condition to keep them viable. Be it a deed of agreement, property titles, or even a dissertation manuscript—these papers need to be kept wrinkle-free at all costs. For this reason, you will need vertical flat file storage . Keep Your Important Documents Intact Carry-around cloth accordion folders are a thing of the past. Nowadays, a secure cardboard design is more in-demand because of its solid structure and moisture resistant-qualities. The corrugated design of the cardboard prevents humidity from seeping into the papers and fading the ink quality. Flat storage is ideal for offices that deal with large amounts of documents, such as law or engineering firms. These offices bank on their documents to do business, so the forms must be kept intact. High Storage Capacity The vertical, flat file storage on Engineer Wa...

Lightheads & Light Bulbs

To prevent hazards and improve employees’ comfort, health, and overall safety, a workplace needs to have adequate task lighting for industrial use or commercial use. Nighttime construction and outdoor job sites, in particular, must have a certain level of illumination in place. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), every job site should be lighted to the specified minimum illumination intensity . Because of this, it’s no question that providing construction sites and other workplaces with sufficient lighting is a must. But if you’re working on a temporary job site or if your job site already has the necessary lighting equipment, what kinds of industrial lights should you get? Utility Lightheads Going from one job site to another is unavoidable, especially when you’re working in the construction industry. For this task, your team needs to have a utility light that provides sufficient lighting on the go, just like one of TPI’s portable utility li...
