footsteps and with 30 years experience behind him, Italian native Riccardo Magni founded Magni Telescopic Handlers in 2013; with the new company producing its first telescopic handlers in January of that year.
Early in his career, Magni saw that the market was in need of fundamental technological improvements to meet the ever-increasing safety standards and improved services laid down by new regulations and international clients.
Since 2013, Magni has produced 16 models – the widest range of rotating telescopic handlers currently on the market. It also has eight fixed, heavyduty models and a range of 11 fixed telehandlers. As a testimony to Magni’s success, in the last two years Magni has created not only the two tallest rotating telescopic handler models in the world but also the model with the highest payload.

SlingRakz simplifies the storage of rigging equipment.
SLINGRAKZ SIMPLIFIES THE STORAGE AND HANDLING OF LIFTING AND RIGGING EQUIPMENT
Lifting and rigging gear can be heavy and awkward to handle and store. The SlingRakz range of storage and handling solutions for lifting and rigging products have been developed in response to a changing working environment.
ANYONE WHO HAS WORKED FOR JUST A
few years in the lifting industry will have encountered the Aladdin’s cave of storage areas where products have been dumped rather than stored, amid a confusing and vast array of obscure equipment. Not only is this an inadvisable way to house what are essentially pieces of safety equipment, it is difficult to lift and handle as well as hard to assess the condition of the gear.
Modern health and safety regulations makes it inadvisable to manually haul and drag heavy chains, slings, and equipment around the workshop. A changing demographic in the workplace may require that equipment is easier to handle by different people of different ages and sexes. Efficient equipment management and testing protocols are important for traceability and safety.
SlingRakz’s range of racking, storage, and safe handling products and solutions can: minimise manual handling; minimise physical lifting; allow for easier, more orderly storage; and reduce manpower requirements.
“Our aim is to develop products that will make lifting equipment easier to handle and create orderly storage solutions,” said Gus Pugliese, manager of Slingrakz in Australia.
“When you walk into a business that doesn’t have an organised area for their lifting and rigging gear, it’s a good feeling when our SlingRakz products transform this important part of an operation into something that is easily managed and maintained.
“Also, our chain buddies and chain racks allow the user to lift directly without the need to lug, drag, or straddle heavy chains and wire slings, which eliminates heavy weights putting pressure on the back and shoulders of the user. At the same time, it makes the process of storing the gear more orderly and organised.
“The demographic of the workforce in the cranes and lifting is changing and it is no longer dominated by 100kg staunch chaps that can lift 50kg on each arm,” he said.
“The products are manufactured in Western Australia and are being distributed by partners in each state in Australia. These include: • WA – The Rigging Shed, Total Lifting,
Lifting Gear Hire & Sales • VIC– Lifting Victoria, Elevate &
Alpha Rigging • NSW – On Call Lifting, All-Ways Rigging,
Mr Lift IT • QLD – Stenhouse Lifting & All-Rig • NT – Stenhouse Lifting • SA – Schillings Hoisting Equipment &
LIFTQUIP Australia • TAS – Webster Lifting.
As well as the chain buddy and chain rack, SlingRakz offers standard and budget racking and storage options, including wall mounted, floor or fixed, mobile, pedestal, cages, caddies and bins. Special requests can also be made to order.
