ErgoPod – Reusable Sample Container

ErgoPod: ReUSABLE GEOTECHNICAL SAMPLE CONTAINER

The ErgoPod is the smarter, safer sample bucket alternative to conventional geotechnical sample bags. This innovative, reusable, and airtight geotechnical sample container is engineered to eliminate the ongoing challenges of heavy, unstable bags. By providing a rigid, stackable storage solution, the ErgoPod transforms how geological materials are collected, transported, and archived in the field and laboratory.

WHS Ergonomic Excellence

Every design choice in the ErgoPod addresses critical manual handling risks identified in occupational health assessments:

• Optimised Lifting: Features integrated lifting lugs with deep finger grooves to promote safer grip mechanics. This design allows for the use of finger pads rather than fingertips, protecting over 3,000 nerve endings and reducing strain.
• Rigid Filling Station: Unlike bags that collapse, the rigid walls of the ErgoPod allow a single operator to fill samples quickly and efficiently without a second pair of hands.
• Standardised Capacity: Engineered for a carrying capacity of 16L or 20kg, ensuring sites stay within modern manual lifting standards.
• Stackable Stability: The interlocking design ensures secure stacking for high-density transport and core library storage, preventing the “slumping” associated with palletised bags.

Advanced Asset Management

ErgoPods are designed to integrate with modern digital workflows:

• Digital Tracking: Specifically designed for seamless use with QR codes, NFC, and RFID tags for rapid inventory control and sample logging.
• Durable Construction: Made from high-strength, non-porous Australian recycled polypropylene (PP) to withstand harsh site conditions and prevent cross-contamination.
• Optional Hardware: Can be fitted with a sturdy metal carry handle for applications requiring frequent manual movement.
• Custom Colours: Easily customised to your corporate colours to effortlessly identify your samples in the field (minimum order applies – 3 pallets/480 each).
