Description
CoreTech: The Benchmark FOR PLASTIC CORE TRAYS
CoreTech are the most advanced plastic core trays available to the geotechnical drilling industry. By combining intelligent ergonomics, superior material durability, and a genuine commitment to sustainability, CoreTech redefines the standards for core storage and handling in Australia’s harshest environments.
WHS-Compliant Ergonomics
CoreTech is the first geotechnical core box specifically designed to align with modern WHS manual handling guidelines:
- Optimised Length: A 1050mm tray bed length significantly reduces the risk of strain and injury during stowing and removal.
- Integrated Handling: Features internal finger grooves and heavy-duty handles at both ends for secure, balanced lifting.
- Non-Slip Stacking: The flat-bottomed base ensures safe stacking on roller racking systems or within core libraries.
- Secure Transport: Reinforced grooves accommodate ratchet straps, and integrated eye-holes allow for fastening with cable ties.
Advanced Asset Management
Every CoreTech tray is built for seamless digital and visual tracking:
- Digital Ready: Supports optional integration of RFID/NFC tags and QR codes for automated inventory control.
- Visual Reference: Moulded start/end measurement indicators and 100mm increment notches allow for rapid visual logging.
- 25+ Year Durability: Tested by ExcelPlas to withstand over 25 years of extreme UV exposure. Chemically resistant to sulphides and harsh site conditions.
