Syngineering can design and certify special purpose lifting and spreader beams to suit your lifting application. Syngineering pride ourselves on listening to and designing exactly what our customers need and want, whether it be weight optimisation, materials to be used and lifting lug combination. Syngineering can also CPEng RPEQ certify your old lifting beams, providing you with a full set of documents necessary to maintain your lifting register.
If you have a question regarding AS4992, RPEQ certification, lifting registers and lifting beams call Syngineering.

Mark Davies from of Metalmark thanks Syngineering
Mark Davies, Director at Metalmark, recently approached the team at Syngineering for verification and optimisation of one of his designs. He wanted them to help him achieve a high performance lifting hook with significant cost savings, and Syngineering utilised FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to achieve the best result.
As Mark explains, “We developed the design to a pretty high standard, so it was quite well-advanced. We then approached Syngineering who suggested some options.”
Stronger and lighter
“Syngineering improved the design by using FEA to identify a stress concentration. They then came back to us with a number of options, including one that was far better than our original design.

Syngineering were asked to investigate why the trommel wheels were cracking. The team of experienced engineers at Syngineering used Finite Element Analysis to develop a model that accurately modeled where the fatigue cracks were occurring.
Using this model, the engineers could then optimise the design changing the design of the trommel wheel spokes.
The design improvements were then checked using the original FEA model.

Syngineering makes extensive use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to solve many complex engineering problems.
Many problems can be solved by our experienced engineers, however, there are times when the most talented engineers need to use FEA to help solve some of the more complex engineering problems.
The team of experienced engineers have used FEA to identify fatigue stress raisers, optimise designs and verify designs. Some of the applications include lifting beams, vacuum lifters, transport skids, trommel wheels, lifting dogs, storage racks, pressure vessels, press dies, and many more …..

Syngineering has worked with a Queensland manufacturer to develop a vacuum pipe lifter used to lift 10tonne pipes from the hull of a ship and move the pipes to a waiting truck. The pipes range in diameter up to 450mm and up to 14m in length.
The team of engineers, draftsman and tradesman at Syngineering were heavily involved throughout the project from not initial concept stages through manufacturing and ultimately, preparing as built drawings to record the changes made during the final manufacturing of the vacuum lifters.
The Syngineering engineers made extensive use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) throughout the design. This allowed the engineers to optimise the weight of the vacuum lifter.
Syngineering have designed the vacuum lifter to be entirely self contained with on board vacuum tanks and control systems. The lifters also included fork tine slots to allow the lifter to be safely moved around the dock yard using a 16tonne forklift.
The Syngineering team also included certified lifting lugs to allow the vacuum lifter to moved around the dock yard.
Syngineering not only provided manufacturing drawings but 3D models, DXF files for laser cutting of components but also rendered images for marketing brochures and RPEQ certification for the project.
