On all Australian construction sites, workplace safety signage is a requirement. Highly noticeable safety signs can help prevent accidents and guarantee that all employees and guests are aware of potentially harmful situations. The absence of signage might leave workers uninformed of hazards, and put employers in legal and workplace health and safety difficulties.
The Toyota Hilux is Australia’s best-selling car for 2022, with over 64000 cars greeting new customers. The car comes in a range of cab designs to suit different buyers, grunty diesel and petrol engine variants, rear or 4-wheel drivetrains, and quite a few interesting trim levels. The latest Hilux has seen some revisions to the suspension, added torque and power under the hood, and a few nice tech additions, such as phone mirroring.
Buyers are also offered a huge selection of either OEM or aftermarket Toyota Hilux parts and accessories to get the best out of an already-rounded vehicle. And there’s a lot to choose from. Off-roading enthusiasts will be happy with the hundreds of goodies to improve off-roading capability, families and tradesmen will look for added space and towing necessities, and anyone in need of a bit more push is well served with a few performance add-ons. Throw in a couple of comfy extras inside to keep the cabin looking good as new, and you’ve just about kitted your Hilux for any conceivable task.
In the hospitality sector, having a well-designed uniform is of great importance. It makes you feel comfortable, confident, and competent. As a key part of any hospitality uniform, aprons make you look stylish and professional while protecting you from spills.
Australians may never have a shortage of opinions about whether rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicles are better than their front-wheel (FWD), but there’s no getting around the fact that of the more than 20 million cars, caravans, and utes registered in Australia, the number of four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicles in the country is the country’s fastest-growing segment.
If you want practicality, and sheer go-anywhere capability, then get a ute. And if you need extra storage space for that same ute, fit it with a well-thought-out ute canopy. There are dozens of different designs that go nicely with double, extra or single cabs, fitted either with a tub, tray or simply bolt onto the chassis. And there are different material options too.
Hatches are slowly and quietly disappearing from car lineups in most brands sold in Australia. And rarely will you see one making the top 10 sales charts. Thank utes and SUVs for changing Australia’s motoring tastes and the car landscape all within a matter of a few years. Die-hard motoring fans though are still holding onto their hot or warm hatches, as an alternative to the hordes of high-sitting, petrol-guzzling monstrosities. The Honda Civic Type R sits fair and square with the likes of the Subaru Impreza WRX STi, Hyundai i30N, the VW Golf GTi and any souped-up and turbocharged 4-cylinder rocket pumping close to 300bhp to the front wheels.
Most carmakers now fit LEDs into the headlights of new vehicles. LEDs certainly have benefits over old-school halogens and even HIDs that were all the rage just a few years ago. But times have moved on, and so has technology. Better lighting options are now also available for older vehicles, and simple upgrade kits will bring better visibility and increased driving safety. What’s even more important is that prices have tumbled and are more than reasonable for what’s on offer.
Electricity is all around us. Electrical systems are quite complex and consist of many different parts that vary based on where in the world you are. This can cause inconvenience to laypeople and pose a risk to people who work with electricity. For that reason, understanding the different types of cords used to transfer electricity can save time, money and frustration. There’s a wide range of power cables, each of which is used for specific or multiple applications. I’ll explore the different types of cables, their uses and their history.
Wireless technology has largely replaced wired communication systems in just about every imaginable field. It’s what makes mobile phones and signals bouncing off your router a possibility. But the internet and mobile telephony are just the tip of the iceberg where the principles of wireless communication have been implemented. Less obvious are the complex systems of industrial control and monitoring processes, that until recently relied on hard-wired systems, consisting of cumbersome lengths of cables and controls units. Going wireless has reduced costs for many businesses, simplified operations, increased functionality, and put security at the forefront.
Looking for drill bits but confused by all the types? There are a few factors to consider when you want to drill that perfect hole. The most important is the type of materials you are drilling into. This leads to drill bits sourced from different materials, and in varying diameters and lengths. The bits can also be coated when you need extra strength and durability when drilling into especially hard surfaces. And you also have to ensure that the drill fit fits the drill, with or without the right accessories.
Looking to inject new life into a tired engine? How about doing some mods? The engine internals is the first place to look if you’re after any substantial performance gains over what you’ve currently got. Changing out pistons, connecting rods, and crankshafts are the precursor to insane fun, both on the track and the road. This entails that you’ve already tweaked the engine for better air intake and exhaust, swapped out the injectors, maybe bolted on a turbo, and changed the timing profile on the cams. And any changes also imply an ECU tune to get everything in balance.
