Smarter, Safer Material Handling for Food & Agriculture
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, weightless state, so your team can position their load with precision and zero physical strain. Faster throughput, consistent output, shift after shift.
Designed and Built in Italy
Every Dalmec manipulator is engineered and manufactured in Cles, Italy. Dalmec has been building industrial manipulators since 1963, with over 90,000 units in service worldwide. You are not buying imported generic equipment. You are buying the original, from the manufacturer that defined the category.
Eliminate Manual Handling Injuries (eliminate claims)
Body stressing accounts for 34.5% of all serious workers compensation claims in Australia. A Dalmec manipulator removes the physical demand from the task entirely, which is the highest level of control under the Hierarchy of Controls. Not reduced risk – Eliminated risk.
Retain Your Best People
Physically demanding roles drive employee turnover. When your operators are no longer absorbing the weight and strain of repetitive lifting, experienced workers stay longer, perform more consistently and maintain output throughout every shift. The cost of losing a skilled operator, recruiting, and getting someone new up to speed is significant. Dalmec, if not eliminates them, at least reduces that cost.
Reduce Hiring and Training Costs
High injury rates and physically exhausting roles create a revolving door. New hires take time to reach full productivity, and frequent replacement compounds the problem. When the physical demand is removed from the task, your operation becomes attractive for employees to continue working in their roles. Lower turnover, lower recruitment costs, and a more experienced team.
