Why buy a PPE vending machine
Sites that own their PPE machine can load their own stock at trade price and use the reporting to cut consumable spend, which is usually where the machine pays for itself in the first year.
Every machine we sell is set up before it leaves us: price file loaded, spirals pitched for your product list, payment system fitted and vend-tested on each selection.
- New machine with manufacturer warranty
- Payment system fitted, tested and configured
- Delivery and placement Australia wide
- Operator handover covering loading, pricing and cash out
- Ongoing parts, spares and service support
What this machine holds
A PPE vending machine runs gloves, safety glasses, ear plugs, respirators, hi-vis, hard hats, blades, sunscreen and consumable tooling. Capacity is 40 to 100 selections with locker or spiral delivery for bulky items, plus card or PIN issue tracking, which is what determines how often you need to visit the site.
The machine suits warehouses, mine sites, construction yards, food processing plants and maintenance workshops.
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
Payment systems and what they cost
Machine prices are quoted without a payment system so you can match acceptance to the site. A staff-only tea room may only need a card reader, while a public-facing machine usually wants coin, note and card.
| Payment system | Price |
|---|---|
| Cashless credit card reader (new, installed) | From $550 installed |
| Coin acceptor / coin mechanism (used) | From $295 GST inclusive |
| Note reader, accepts $5, $10 and $20 notes | From $350 + GST |
Payment systems are quoted separately so you only pay for the acceptance you need.
New or used?
A new PPE vending machine gives you full warranty and the current cabinet and controller generation. A refurbished machine gets you trading for less, which matters when you are proving a site before committing.
| New machine | Used machine | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Quoted per model | From $2,450 + GST |
| Warranty | Manufacturer warranty | Workshop-tested, warranty on request |
| Lead time | Subject to stock | Usually available now |
| Best for | Long-term sites and tenders | New operators and trial sites |
Frequently asked questions
What is not included in the machine price?
Prices are quoted plus GST, plus your chosen payment system and plus transport to site. That keeps the machine price honest, because a card reader and freight to a regional site are very different costs from a metro cash-only install.
Can you deliver and install a machine I buy?
Yes. We arrange transport Australia wide, place the machine, fit and test the payment system, load the price file and hand over with a short operator briefing.
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.
