The innovation of our entire product range is an ongoing process. The more we learn about our clients needs, the faster and more concisely our range updates!
Due to the age of our industry, it might be simple to err on the side of "Why change when we've always done it this way?"
Fortunately for our clients, we simply don't think that way. Innovations from our local Engineering department, complemented by a full catalogue of world wide solutions from our parent group, have been implemented and refined for the Australian marketplace and environmental conditions.
Our latest innovations include Thick Web, Heavy Haul solutions for our mining clients, including evolution to the Switch Assemblies as well as the Swingnose Crossings, and specifically designed operating systems and machines to handle such heavy blades!
We are continually rolling out new technologies such as the Australian designed Spherolock with Single Pressure Head for Catchpoints! Enabling the safety of our Spherolock System bolstering this tried and tested safety feature.

As a business we continually have to evolve, not just with the Products we produce, but down to the materials themselves.
Over the years we have pioneered new material technologies as they have appeared, in order to produce better, tougher products which suit our clients needs best.
These innovations include Asymmetric Switchblade Profiles, which due to it's cross section has enabled better fastening options and greater flexibility. We also came up with Thick Web Profiles for use in our new Heavy Haul solutions and Inductive Head Hardening where the possibility of wear at the forging points are eliminated by re-hardening the material.
