What the free PPE vending machine program includes
Everything needed to get a PPE vending machine working on your site is covered. You provide the floor space and a power point; we provide the machine and the ongoing service.
A PPE machine placed on your site puts safety gear on the floor 24 hours a day, so night shift never works without eye protection because the store is locked.
- Machine supply, delivery and installation at no cost
- Restocking scheduled from real sales data, not a fixed roster
- Breakdown attendance, parts and preventative servicing included
- Cash, card and mobile payment acceptance fitted as standard
- No contract, no rental and no minimum term — the machine can be removed on request
Products your free PPE vending machine can stock
A free PPE vending machine is loaded with gloves, safety glasses, ear plugs, respirators, hi-vis, hard hats, blades, sunscreen and consumable tooling. Before the machine goes in we run a short planogram consultation so the selections match what your people actually buy.
The range is reviewed after the first few restocks. Slow lines are swapped out, popular lines get more facings, and you can request healthier options or remove specific products at any time.
Where free PPE vending machines work best
This machine suits warehouses, mine sites, construction yards, food processing plants and maintenance workshops. Capacity is 40 to 100 selections with locker or spiral delivery for bulky items, plus card or PIN issue tracking.
If your site is smaller or the traffic is seasonal, we may recommend a different machine or a combination unit instead. We would rather place the right machine than pull an underperforming one out three months later.
Machine specifications
- Employee card, PIN or scan issue instead of cash sales
- Per-employee and per-cost-centre consumption reporting
- Heavy duty spirals, lockers and coil trays for awkward items
- Optional free-issue mode with usage limits per shift

Frequently asked questions
Is a free vending machine really free?
Yes. There is no purchase price, no rental, no service fee and no lock-in contract. We own the machine, deliver it, install it, stock it and service it. Our return comes from the products sold, so staff simply pay normal retail prices at the machine.
How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed in under an hour once the site is approved. You need a standard 10 amp power point within about two metres and a level floor with clear access.
Who restocks and repairs the machine?
We do. Restocking frequency is based on your machine's telemetry and sales history, and breakdown attendance is included at no cost to the site.
Can PPE be issued free to staff instead of sold?
Yes. PPE machines are commonly set to free issue with a per-employee limit, so gear is available instantly but consumption is still tracked against a card or PIN.
Does it report who took what?
Every vend is logged against the employee card or PIN, so you get item-level reporting by person, crew, shift or cost centre.
