Combilift manufactures a wide range of innovative solutions for the safe and space saving handling and storage of long and bulky loads. Capable of indoor and outdoor operation, Combilift’s multidirectional forklifts are ideal for the requirements of the metals sector. They can be deployed from the initial stages of offloading raw materials, feeding the production lines, through to the handling, storage and dispatch of finished product. Sideways travel with loads resting on the platform enables the trucks to work in narrow aisles, avoids hazardous high level transportation and significantly improves safety procedures. Capacities range from 2.5t to 25t, with diesel, LPG and electric power options. A wide choice of mast heights, platform dimensions and attachments means that your Combilift is a purpose-built customized handling solution. With lift capacities of 100t +, Combilift’s Straddle carrier range ensures the safe, stable and cost effective handling of the most extreme loads.
Load at ground level, remove personnel from trucks, increase space, speed and efficiency with Combilift’s range of straddle carriers and multi directional forklifts designed and build to your specific needs.
Metz was founded over 65 years ago on the 25th of June 1953 by Phillip Metz. Phil was a New Zealander who came to Australia and established a small manufacturing plant in Essendon, Melbourne Victoria.
Since that time despite massive changes in technology and markets, Metz has remained focused on providing specialist building materials to assist industry resist the damaging effects of corrosion and abrasion. Metz has been 100% Australian owned since 1986 and our businesses are located in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth.
Metz Specialty Materials Pty Ltd
The operating company manufactures and sells a broad range of materials predominantly used for Acid Proofing and Industrial Flooring. Our manufacturing facility is today located in Clayton North, Melbourne. Metz is proudly Quality Accredited to AS/NZS ISO9001:2015 and our accreditation is for ‘The development and manufacture of acid proofing material, tile fixing systems and industrial flooring materials’.
Metz is also partnered with a small number of specialist manufacturers of complimentary products from around the globe. In particular Metz sources Acid Bricks and Tiles from quality manufacturers so that we can offer our clients a complete solution for their particular requirements.
Metz has for more than 30 years appointed distributors across Asia and in the last decade the Middle East where we have opened our first overseas office to support our growing business in that region.
Metz Project Services Pty Ltd
Metz Project Services Pty Ltd is the installation company operating in Australia. The presence of an installation capability gives the ability to offer a full supply and install service to our clients in Australia. In critical applications this is highly desired by end users of our materials.
The fact that Metz also installs all the materials we manufacture also means that we have experienced supervisors who regularly use our materials available for support works if required on any projects. It also means our technical support capacity and product development is backed up by real, practical experience – not just from laboratory trials.
Single Point of Responsibility
This can be achieved by Metz Project Services undertaking the whole project, including supply and installation of complete packages as well as civil works. This is also achievable when using our distributors either in Australia or in our many overseas markets. In overseas projects we are successful in selling our products because through our distributors and skilled Australian supervisors we can economically use local labour. Most of our distributors now have permanent skilled workforces for this work.
