A NAME SAYS A LOT, BUT WITH 1300TEMPFENCE IT HAS BROADENED ITS HORIZONS WAY BEYOND TEMPORARY FENCING, SECURING ITS PICKETS INTO SITE SECURITY, ROAD BARRIERS AND MUCH MORE, EVEN LAUNCHING A NEW ECOMMERCE SITE.

One of Australia’s top specialists in temporary fence hire and sales, 1300TempFence is providing a service that makes jobs run that little bit smoother so work sites are kept safe and secure.

The high-quality fencing systems offered by 1300TempFence ensure customers can get every job done faster and more safely.

The company has had a reputation for providing competitive prices and reliable fence hire and sales services since 1999, becoming a market leader in the industry by offering additional benefits other fencing companies don’t, such as servicing all locations Australia-wide, and providing a multitude of fencing options and other solutions for your site. 1300TempFence general manager of sales Dan Clifton said the company’s national footprint and broad product range set it apart.

Depending on the customer needs, it may be more beneficial to purchase rather than hire some items and 1300TempFence provides that flexibility.

“You can make the choice on how you want to procure,” Clifton said.

“Generally, the budget for hire or sales will come out of separate cost centres within a business.

“Any purchases are generally made out of the capital expenditure budget, whereas companies will usually have a separate budget for equipment hire. It gives businesses the flexibility to procure in a way that suits their unique needs. Our core offering is site security and safety. Our relevant product ranges for mine sites are temporary fencing, crowd control barriers, site security cameras, ground protection, steel road barriers and water-filled barriers.”

If a customer is planning on hiring equipment and it is expected to be a hire of 12–18 months, customers will often like the option to purchase the item for cost-effectiveness and efficiency.

“Sometimes, particularly in remote mining locations, it could be more beneficial and cheaper to purchase the equipment because we don’t have to send installation crews to remote locations to install and pick up at the end of the hire,” Clifton said.

installed quickly and easily, without the need to disturb the surface area by digging holes or laying foundations.

The company prides itself on offering next-day delivery on all sales and hires to provide its customers with the peace of mind they require when working on large jobs in remote locations.

“It is all about keeping a site safe and secure. And that applies to not only mining but any of the market segments we operate in,” Clifton said. 1300TempFence has complete temporary fencing systems designed for long-life and regular use.

With products varying in style, the company has temporary fence panels for a wide range of clients and industries.

Don’t be fooled by the name, though, the company offers much more than just temporary fencing, with a growing range of products to now offer to market that can be implemented onsite to increase safety and efficiency.

“Our 24–7 site security cameras are completely wireless, self-sufficient, solar-powered, and they run on 4G wireless internet cards,” Clifton said.

“They’re great for a mine site, as working in remote locations they don’t need to be hooked up to power, they don’t need to be hardwired to anything, they’re extremely portable and can be moved with the forklift, and they can provide live streaming back to a tablet or a phone.

“You can set them up around your site and have full visibility of everything that’s going on.” 1300TempFence has synchronism at the forefront of its movements from here on out. Not only do its products like the site security cameras create a streamlined approach to safety, but the company also wants to make purchasing those products much easier.

The company’s new eCommerce store, Site HQ, encapsulates its full offering under one roof.

Site HQ has become the sales arm of the business, allowing some of its 13 trading names to now be distributed from one convenient online store.

“We are streamlining the business but also providing what we hope is a better customer experience,” Clifton said.

“We’ll continue to provide the great expertise, knowledge and value 1300TempFence is renowned for and we will apply and channel it through our new online store.

“This combined with the site’s inbuilt intelligence will allow customers to have better customer experience overall.”

Site HQ has been integrated with its own enterprise resource planning (ERP) system which allows the site to know stock quantities in each location in real time.

On top of this, the site integrates with transport management software, giving it the ability to recognise what is in a customer’s cart and calculate the size of delivery vehicle required, providing the customer with the most cost-effective transport quote from multiple providers.

All this happens seamlessly in the backend with no interruption to the purchasing experience.

Site HQ is in full swing following its launch in late February, allowing you to purchase from its wide range of site solution, security and safety products from multiple locations around Australia.
