Australia represents safety and quality

Safety comes first for Bomac, whose lifting products make life easier and safer for workers across Australia. The Australian Made, Australian Grown licensee manufactures a range of lifting products including the award-winning pre-engineered Altrac Height Safety System. With employees’ lives depending on the quality and reliability of lifting systems like Altrac, Bomac has discovered that cheap, low quality imported products often can’t compete with clever and safe systems made in Australia.

Bomac Engineering uses the Australian Made, Australian Grown logo on all products, in advertising and on company communications, and is proud to be one of the few businesses in its category still manufacturing all elements in Australia.

“We have been approached by suppliers overseas to contract our product at cheaper prices. We always decline. The exacting standards cannot be guaranteed and in some instances scrap materials are incorporated into so-called ‘new material specifications’ and therefore the integrity of the raw materials is questionable,” explains Bomac Director Dawn McFarlane.

“As our equipment is manufactured to standards, in many cases higher than those in Europe, the provision of mechanical test certificates is imperative to maintaining quality control of our product.

“Safety is the most important aspect of our products and by manufacturing them here, to the very highest standards, we know that we are giving our customers superior products. We can customise the product and we can deliver quicker than most overseas manufacturers. Being Australian gives us a competitive advantage.”

Bomac Engineering’s Altrac overhead lifting system won the Innovative Product of the Year award at the 2006 Endeavour Awards. The business is based in Hallam and can be contacted on (03) 9796 5300. To learn more about Bomac, please visit www.bomac.com.au.
