Vikan, represented in Australia by WR & D Wells (03 9699 8999), has launched one-piece stainless-steel tool holders to help food companies store their cleaning and food handling tools,
in particular where 5S programs are being implemented. The new stainless steel brackets come in a single hook, four hook and six hook version,  complete with mounting blocks to enable cleaning behind the bracket. They also work well for companies that place colour-coded shadow stickers under and behind the hook, so that factory staff know exactly what coloured item should be stored on that hook.

In addition to this system, Wells is now the exclusive importer of the innovative Toolflex tool holder system from Sweden. The system is modular, with a choice of tool rail length (350mm, 500mm and 900mm) with colour-coded end stops, and the flexibility to slide in as many or few rubber tool holder clips or tool holder hooks. There is also a stainless steel hook option which will slide into the rail. All tool holder clips and hooks are fully colour coded and designed to hold even very heavy tools..
