Media Release 1st May 2012

The SOTO Safety Tow Hitch gained second place, with a highly commended award at the NSW Minerals Council’s OHS Innovation Awards in May 2012.

Stephen Galilee (NSW Minerals Council CEO) said “Our Innovation Awards encourage miners to identify areas where health and safety can be improved and then develop and road test creative solutions that can be adopted at other mining operations. The creativity and ingenuity emerging from these awards reinforces the fact that safety is our number one priority.”

The SOTO Safety Tow Hitch is an innovative rigid towing device, which minimises the risk of safety incidents by increasing the control of movement while towing heavy mine equipment underground. It can be used in all conditions and can be operated by just one person.
