Video: Visyload load detecting washers
Visyload is an Australian made, game changing, load detecting washer. It lets you know, at a glance, the working load limit on a rock bolt or threaded anchor.
This helps a mine, tunneling or construction manager or specialist Geotechnician to assess and certify – saving time and money.

Control panel change maximises mine’s pump use
An underground mine had a Brain Airloader 300 pump but it wasn’t maximising its use. The control panel location made it hard to operate and difficult to maintain.
Our design and build team technicians moved the control panel to the discharge side allowing for ease of use. We also delivered hands on, on site, training on basic maintenance and operation to crews.
The pump is now in regular use pumping handling heavily solids laden slurries and sludges. The mine is also using it to clean up coal spills and carryback near the conveyor bootend.

Polyurethane tread plates
Our polyurethane non-slip tread plates can be used on longwall roof supports, continuous miner platforms, pump station walkways, feeder breaker walkways and more…to keep your staff safe in high traffic areas.
Polyurethane tread plates are resistant to impact, abrasion, chemicals, mine water, corrosion, and Solcenic fluid ingress.
We’re your experts in the design and manufacture of tread plates and other innovative polyurethane product solutions.

Video: Hydraguard prevents potentially fatal hydraulic hose rupture injuries
Do you have staff working around hydraulics on fixed or mobile plant?
Watch our video to see how our unique Hydraguard system protects them from potentially fatal pinhole ruptures of high pressure oil that can pierce PPE. Hydraguard’s rubber-encased, stainless-steel guarding system diffuses the oil through fine mesh to prevent injury.
