R&D Innovation & Partnerships

As part of Coates’ multi-year, million-dollar R&D partnership with Monash University, our engineers are working with PhD students from the Civil Engineering Department to develop lighter, yet stronger temporary works products.

By using lightweight steel, the shoring and propping products will require less labour, handling, storage, transport, installation and de-installation. Alongside time and cost savings, this increases safety by reducing the likelihood of manual handling injuries and results in a lower carbon footprint.

Quadshore 150 is the first of three projects to be completed. With a capacity of up to 170 tonnes, it is the lightest heavy-duty structural propping system available anywhere in the world.

We’re always striving to improve workplace safety, compliance and, ultimately, profitability on your site by designing new and improved products.

Recent innovations include our versatile and integrated suite of shoring safety products including personnel excavation safety handrails, as well as ingress and egress solutions.

The Coates Rescue Davit Kit, EasyGuard Handrail, KeepSafe Handrail and KeepSafe Ladder Access Platform and Walkway not only reduce the possibility of injuries, but are robust, easy to use and suitable for all site conditions.
