We see racks of all shapes and sizes, we see the brand new racks complete with a certification tag.  These are not the ones that keep us awake at night.  The ones that really worry the team at Syngineering are the ones that were thrown together in the workshop as a temporary and then temporary becomes permanent and still no one has thought to get these certified.

The team of engineers, draftsman and tradesman at Syngineering want to help and can check the certification of your storage racking and make sure they comply to AS4084.  Syngineering will then supply full detail drawings for each storage rack along with a certification tag and RPEQ .

Have you ever thought about the how many trestles you have in the workshop?

Have you ever wondered how often you use them?

Are they engineered and certified?

Syngineering can check and RPEQ certify all your trestles for as little as a few hundred dollars each.

“It actually costs less getting Syngineering in to handle the drawings than having our guys do the job!”

Syngineering makes life EASY for Drake Trailers

Drake Trailers are leaders in the industry of designing and building heavy haulage trailers, and to make reliable products they need reliable manufacturing equipment. “We have a constant demand for jigs, stands and lifting gear to assist in production,” Production Supervisor Rob Beattie says.

Drake uses Syngineering to turn their highly specific requirements into shop drawings for RPEQ certified products to use in their 8,650 square metre facility.

Certified gear means peace of mind

Drake’s manufacturing gear is made on site, but in a large and busy work environment dealing with heavy equipment, it has to be of high safety standards. Rob understands the importance of having certified equipment. “Our gear MUST be engineered properly. It isn’t good enough just to make our best judgment,” he says. That’s why he gets Syngineering to take care of the compliance side – putting his mind at ease.

From specific need to working drawings

“We can hand draw a basic sketch of what we need, and give it to Syngineering,” Rob says. “They do up a concept and we can then add/subtract to fine-tune it. From there they produce high quality shop drawings. Each profile, part and bend is well detailed.”

Rob loves the fact that they also devise the cutting list. “Our guys don’t have to dissect the drawings to work out what is needed to make the item,” he says. “So if we need ten of these stands, I can just go to purchasing, and ask them to order me ten lots of that!”

Saving money with reduced downtime

“We have our own engineers on site, but they are so busy doing production stuff,” explains Rob. “Now that we have Syngineering, we don’t have to have to take our own engineers off production work, which would cause a lot of downtime.”

“It actually costs less getting Syngineering in to handle the drawings than having our guys do the job!”

Fast turnaround and excellent service

“Our clients expect us to deliver on time, so fast turnaround is very important,” Rob says. “We also have to keep workflow running smoothly, so we can’t afford to be held up waiting for drawings. Shane and his team always have a good time frame – I’ve never had to chase him.”

“I’ve been using Syngineering for four years and have always found the team to provide good, professional service. I’d certainly recommend them!”

These home made lifting frames have not been designed to Australian Standards nor have they been certified to Australian Standards nor are they maintained, nor are they listed on the lifting register, nor are there any drawings of the lifting jig to make another when the original is lost or one of the select group who know where the jig is retires.

Like most home made lifting jigs, this one lived in a dark cupboard and was used to lift and position 800kg wheel hubs. The redesigned lifting jig designed and developed by Syngineering, includes a flexible arrangement that allows the operators to use the lifting frame for not only the 800kg wheel hubs but the 600kg wheel bubs as the centre of gravity of the lifting frame can now be adjusted.

Syngineering specialise in working with your operators and engineers to assist companies to re-engineering lifting jigs and lifting devices and then redesigning these jigs so that they comply with Australia Standards such as AS4991, and AS1554. Our approach is simple, we work with your operators, your managers and your engineers to eliminate the risk that using homemade lifting frames pose to your business.  We need to deal with the problem now, before your next health and safety audit or worse, someone gets hurt using one of these home made lifting frames.

Our engineers are ready to help.
