Hydraulic material handling equipment for Australian industry — what’s in the range

When loads need to be turned, rotated, clamped, positioned or tipped, hydraulic attachments and equipment provide the control and versatility needed to perform these tasks safely and efficiently. East West Engineering’s range of hydraulic forklift attachments includes pallet inverters for turning goods or changing pallets during production processes, carton clamps for handling white goods and unpalletised cartons, rotators for turning loads or tipping their contents, bale clamps for handling baled materials and fork clamps for operations requiring both fork positioning and load clamping across a range of loads.

The range also includes push-pull attachments, block and paper roll clamps, each designed to solve specific handling challenges across manufacturing, construction, logistics, mining and warehousing. Other hydraulic equipment such as floor-mounted bin tippers and wheelie bin tippers, perform dedicated lifting and tipping operations without requiring a forklift attachment. Selecting the right hydraulic equipment improves load security, reduces product damage and increases handling efficiency in demanding industrial environments.

Engineered for demanding Australian industrial conditions

Hydraulic material handling equipment should be selected to suit the material being handled, the load characteristics and the operating environment. Load characteristics may include the size, weight and centre of gravity of the load, whether it is loose, boxed, baled or palletised, and how it behaves when lifted, rotated, clamped or tipped. East West Engineering can help you assess the task and the conditions surrounding it before recommending suitable equipment.

Our hydraulic lifting equipment is used in mining sites, food manufacturing facilities, cold chain operations, construction projects and outdoor yard environments, where reliability and consistent performance are essential. For applications that cannot be met with a standard hydraulic attachment, East West Engineering can develop a modified or custom-engineered solution designed around the way your operation handles materials.

45 years of materials handling expertise — what that means for your operation

Hydraulic equipment performs best when it is correctly matched to the application, the equipment used to operate it and the conditions in which it will be used. With more than 45 years of experience supplying Australian workplaces with material handling equipment, East West Engineering provides practical engineering expertise with each enquiry.

Rather than simply recommending a product, the team assesses factors such as load type and weight, handling method, operating environment and any site-specific requirements or equipment before identifying the most suitable solution. That support includes technical advice, product selection guidance and documentation to assist with its safe operation and ongoing product support for the life of the equipment.

The result is equipment that’s specified for your application, backed by ongoing support before and after supply.

  • Hydraulic material handling equipment is widely used across manufacturing, construction, mining, logistics, warehousing infrastructure, waste management and agriculture. Equipment selection should also consider the operating environment and the demands of the application, including high-cycle use and other challenging conditions.

  • Yes. East West Engineering can modify existing hydraulic equipment or design and manufacture a custom solution to suit specific operational requirements where a standard product is not suitable

  • Selecting the right hydraulic material handling equipment starts with understanding the application. For forklift attachments, factors such as forklift capacity and specifications, load size, weight, shape and material type should be considered. The required handling process, intended application, operating environment and any relevant compliance requirements should also be assessed before selecting hydraulic equipment. 

    For standalone equipment, the operating environment may also require additional safety measures, such as exclusion zones, light curtains, safety barriers and other engineered safety controls to help protect workers during operation.

  • East West Engineering designs hydraulic material handling equipment with relevant Australian Standards and applicable workplace safety requirements in mind. The specific standards and requirements that apply can vary depending on the type of equipment, its intended use and the application. Supporting documentation is provided to assist with the safe operation of the equipment.
