Crane & Lifting Industry
Plastics for the Crane, Lifting, Construction & Building Industry  
Solutions in Plastic & Engineering offers a comprehensive range of plastic fabrication and machining for cranes, lifting equipment, the construction industry, and the building sector. In these industries, engineering plastics are commonly used for their advantageous characteristics, including their lightweight nature, exceptional wear and abrasion resistance, and ease of handling. These properties address such applications’ Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) and Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) requirements.
One significant advantage of using engineering plastics in these industries is their ability to eliminate the need for additional lubrication. Self-lubricating plastics are designed to operate smoothly without grease or oil. This removes the issue of attracting dirt and dust, which can compromise the performance of the equipment and counteract the intended benefits of lubrication. By using self-lubricating plastics, machinery and components can maintain efficient operation while minimising the risk of contamination and maintenance needs.
At Solutions in Plastic & Engineering, we understand the unique demands of the crane, lifting equipment, construction, and building industries. Our plastic fabrication and machining expertise allows us to provide tailored solutions that meet the specific requirements of these sectors. We offer a range of engineering plastics with the necessary characteristics to enhance performance, durability, and safety in these applications.
