Our Brakes Centre of Excellence is led by a team of skilled engineers using the latest technology to bring our customers local service backed by national strength.

Storm Brakes
Storm brakes (also known as Rail Clamps) are used as holding and emergency stop brakes from moving unreliably in applications such as hoists, cranes, large belt conveyor systems, cable cars etc. They are also fail-safe and spring-applied and can be hydraulic or air-released.

Custom Safe Brakes
Industrial disc brakes have little moving parts and have an in-built hydraulically released safety mechanism ensuring maximum protection. Industrial Disc brakes are used in heavy-duty industries such as mining, energy, entertainment, marine and shipping.

Mobile Brakes
Caliper and Mobile Disc Brakes are ideal for industrial machines and mobile equipment applications. They are ideal for providing primary, emergency, and secondary braking. Designed for applications in the agriculture, construction, mining, airport support and forestry industries.
