SolTech will be closed over the holiday break 23rd Dec - 12th Jan
Built for mine site managers, WHS managers, and heavy industry procurement teams.
Vehicle-pedestrian conflict doesn’t wait for a grid connection, and neither should your safety response. Mine sites, quarries, and heavy industrial facilities carry constant vehicle-pedestrian conflict risk, often at locations with no mains power and long distances to the nearest grid connection. SolTech’s solar pedestrian warning systems and radar speed signs are solar safety systems for remote sites, built to run entirely off-grid, so safety controls can be deployed at haul roads, gate entries, loading docks, and forklift interaction zones without waiting on infrastructure works.
Rio Tinto, Omya, and Wilmar Sugar are among the operators already running SolTech systems at active industrial sites.
Vehicle-pedestrian conflict is one of the most consistently cited hazards in mining and heavy industry WHS reporting, as reflected in Safe Work Australia guidance. Solar-powered warning systems give site managers a way to control that risk at exactly the point of conflict, without the cost or delay of running mains power to a remote part of the site. Systems can be specified and installed quickly enough to close out an identified hazard within a reporting cycle.
Site risks don’t always match a standard product. Tassal Seafood needed to communicate dock availability rather than manage speed or pedestrian conflict, so SolTech engineered a bespoke solar dock availability indicator around that specific problem, outside the core product range.
An active Rio Tinto mine site needed a way to manage vehicle-pedestrian conflict at a high-traffic interaction point, without the cost or delay of running mains power to a remote part of the site. SolTech installed a solar pedestrian warning system to alert drivers and pedestrians to each other, operating entirely off-grid.
Wilmar Sugar needed a speed management solution for site roads without the disruption of running new power infrastructure.
Solution: SolTech installed a solar radar speed sign, giving the site an off-grid way to manage vehicle speed at the point of risk.
A Sims Metal recycling site needed to manage pedestrian and vehicle interaction at a busy crossing point.
Solution: SolTech installed a solar enhanced pedestrian crossing to improve visibility and safety at the site, operating independently of mains power.
Tassal Seafood needed a way to communicate dock availability to drivers and site staff without running new electrical infrastructure.
Solution: Rather than a standard sign or warning system, SolTech engineered a bespoke solar dock availability indicator, giving the site a reliable, self-contained solution built around its specific problem.
A solar safety system for a mine site is a self-contained, solar and battery powered warning or speed device, such as a pedestrian warning system or radar speed sign, that operates without a mains power connection. This allows it to be installed at haul roads, gate entries, and other remote points on site where grid power isn’t available.
A forklift pedestrian warning system alerts pedestrians and forklift operators to each other’s presence at shared interaction points, such as warehouse doorways, yard entries, and loading dock access. SolTech’s solar powered pedestrian warning system requires no mains connection, so it can be installed at any point of conflict without electrical works.
Yes. Every SolTech mining and industrial system is solar powered and designed to run independently of mains power, including at remote haul roads, gate entries, and yard locations well outside the reach of site infrastructure.
Yes. Rio Tinto, Omya, and Wilmar Sugar are among the operators using SolTech solar pedestrian warning and radar speed sign systems at active sites. See the case studies above.
We’re proud to deliver solutions that make a real difference. Don’t just take our word for it, hear directly from clients who have experienced the reliability, performance, and impact of our products and services. Their stories speak for themselves.
Excellent Service. There was an issue with a product (solar road markers) and they replaced the items straightaway. Couldn’t have asked for better service. Thank you. – Pauline Abela
Ethan and the team at SLD were extremely patient and helpful with my order of 7 large solar speed signs on 190kg [Steel] bases, being sent to Victoria for installation across my workplace, which is a public use space. Ethan answered many technical questions with ease, and assisted with troubleshooting, the shipping and delivery, assembly and changing the radar speed. Their accounts team adhered to my companies strict policies, and the project went live yesterday. Would recommend the company and products. Thank you Ethan, Scott and team. – Lisa Pettifer, Project Manager
We were receiving multiple reports of speeding in the village from our residents. After investigating the problem areas and delivering the solution, I can confidently say that the Solar Speed Signs have reduced the incidents of speeding in the village. – Deon Moran, Village Manager
We live in a gated lifestyle resort of 375 residents, we have narrow roadways and no foot paths so it’s a shared pedestrian/vehicle environment. The speed limit within the resort is 10kph, which despite numerous conventional signs was regularly exceeded by visitors and residents alike. We purchased the portable flashing sign from SLR and the change in driver behavior was apparent within a very short period. This is a cost-effective deterrent, and very easy to use and deploy, we are considering purchasing another. – Peter Lake
