Dalmec Australia

Solutions for the Automotive Manufacturing Sector

Smarter, Safer Material Handling for Automotive Manufacturing

Dalmec Australia provides advanced manipulators that remove manual lifting, reduce Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) risks and improve production efficiency across automotive manufacturing, component assembly and distribution facilities. From heavy engine blocks and EV battery modules to vehicle body panels and fabricated metal components, Dalmec manipulators enable operators to guide loads with precision while the equipment carries the weight. By eliminating the physical demands associated with repetitive lifting, Australian manufacturers can improve workflow, protect their workforce and support compliance with Safe Work Australia guidance for hazardous manual tasks.

6 Key Reasons Why Australian Companies Have Chosen Dalmec Zero Gravity Load Handling

Your operators guide the load. Dalmec carries it.

Every manipulator holds the load in a pneumatically balanced, near weightless state, allowing a single operator to lift, rotate and position automotive components with precision and virtually zero physical strain.

Designed and Built in Italy

Every Dalmec manipulator is engineered and manufactured in Cles, Italy. With more than 90,000 installations worldwide since 1963, you are investing in the original manufacturer that defined industrial pneumatic manipulation.

Eliminate Manual Handling Injuries

Body stressing remains one of Australia’s leading causes of workplace compensation claims. By removing the physical effort from lifting tasks, Dalmec provides one of the highest levels of risk control available under the Hierarchy of Controls and supports safer automotive production environments.

Retain Your Best People

Repetitive and physically demanding handling tasks contribute to fatigue and staff turnover. Removing manual lifting helps experienced operators remain productive, comfortable and engaged throughout every shift.

Reduce Hiring and Training Costs

Lower physical demands make automotive production roles more sustainable, reducing turnover and the ongoing costs associated with recruitment, onboarding and training replacement staff.
