SMW Group employs a team of in-house specialty engineers to create the safest, smartest and most innovative designs for your project. We cater for everything from small one-off jobs adapting existing equipment, up to major mining and industry projects.
SMW Group uses state-of-the-art equipment for welding and manufacturing at all of our workshop facilities and in the field. Where the latest technology or equipment doesn’t meet the needs of our projects or clients, we turn our hand to creating our own in-house solutions. We’ve won awards in innovation for some of these solutions, which include:
Ultralift
Our Ultralift solution is a remotely operated mobile straddle carrier. Using the Ultralift at our workshops eliminates complex crane lifts, removes the risk of operator injury, and allows SMW Group to reposition, move and work on trays, buckets and other heavy equipment safely and efficiently. This leads to real cost savings for clients, as well as the ability to move jobs through our workshop with more speed.
Ultralift is also available as a site-based solution, to move your equipment wherever you can drive a truck – just ask our Product Support team about what’s possible.
Robotic welding
SMW Group’s robotic welding capabilities are industry leading – we use our robotic welder to manufacture mining equipment, rail sleepers and more. With real-time QA reporting, our robotic welder works up to 46% faster than manual welding, saving time and cost to our clients.
3D Scanning
Using the latest 3D scanning technology on site or in our workshops means that we can accurately identify flaws in a structure or equipment and engineer the best solutions to keep your team safe.
Air-fed welding helmets for safety
A recent initiative of SMW Group has been to move our workshop teams to sole use of air-fed welding helmets as a preventative safety measure. Air-fed helmets reduce known welding health hazards and are a valuable risk control measure as well as an initiative to protect the health of our team.
