Solutions for the Mining Sector
Smarter, Safer Material Handling for Mining Operations
Dalmec mining industry manipulators let a single operator lift, rotate, tilt and position hydraulic components, drums, filters, hoses and mining equipment parts without manual load bearing, in maintenance workshops and processing facilities across Australia. Each unit is custom engineered around the specific component, the maintenance task required, and the workshop layout, with gripping tooling designed to handle heavy, awkward or contaminated parts safely. Every installation is documented as an engineering control under Australia’s Work Health and Safety Act, and because Dalmec manipulators run entirely on compressed air, they operate reliably in workshop environments with oil, grease and dust present.
FAQ
Are Dalmec manipulators suitable for mining maintenance workshops?
Yes. Dalmec manipulators are built for the heavy, repetitive and often awkward lifting involved in mining equipment maintenance and servicing, letting one operator safely position hydraulic components, drums and fabricated parts without manual strain.
What mining and maintenance items can Dalmec manipulators handle?
Common applications include hydraulic components such as pumps and cylinders, drums of oils and process chemicals, filters and packaged consumables, industrial hoses, and mining equipment parts and assemblies. Dalmec engineers custom gripping tooling around the exact item for secure, precise handling.
Can a Dalmec manipulator handle heavy hydraulic assemblies and equipment components?
Yes. Rigid-arm Dalmec manipulators handle heavy, off-centre loads that need tilting, rotating or precise alignment during maintenance and installation, from 10kg up to 1,500kg depending on the model.
How does a Dalmec manipulator improve WHS compliance in a mining workshop?
By removing manual load-bearing from maintenance tasks, Dalmec manipulators reduce exposure to hazardous manual handling risks and support compliance with Safe Work Australia guidance for hazardous manual tasks. Each installation is documented as an engineering control under the Work Health and Safety Act.
6 Key Reasons Why Australian Companies Have Chosen Dalmec Zero Gravity Load Handling
Your operators guide the load. Dalmec carries it
Every manipulator keeps the load in a pneumatically balanced state, allowing operators to lift, position and rotate mining components with complete control while eliminating the physical effort required for manual handling.
Designed and Built in Italy
Every Dalmec manipulator is engineered and manufactured in Cles, Italy. With more than 90,000 installations worldwide since 1963, Dalmec remains the original manufacturer and global leader in pneumatic lifting technology.
Eliminate Manual Handling Injuries
Mining maintenance tasks often involve heavy and repetitive lifting. Dalmec removes the physical demand from these activities, helping businesses reduce exposure to hazardous manual handling risks and improve workplace safety.
Retain Your Best People
Reducing physically demanding tasks enables experienced maintenance teams and operators to work more comfortably, supporting workforce retention and consistent productivity.
Reduce Hiring and Training Costs
Lower injury risks and improved ergonomics contribute to reduced staff turnover and lower recruitment and onboarding costs over the long term.
Australian-Based, Nationwide Support
Dalmec provides installation, commissioning and technical support across Australia and New Zealand, delivering proven local expertise backed by decades of international engineering experience.
