HMG has been delivering high quality heavy engineering services for more than 65 years. What we do stands the test of time. Any component, any machine, Anywhere.

In heavy industries such as mining, oil and gas, defence, energy and construction, the uptime of your mobile fleet and fixed plant equipment is critical. If they’re not working, millions of dollars could be at stake. Nobody understands this better than HMG. For more than 65 years, we’ve been helping many hard-working companies across the Asia Pacific region to reduce their downtime and improve their bottom line. HMG has the heavy engineering capabilities and capacity to make the most of your asset performance. Every job that goes out our doors is Made to Last. Quality is the cornerstone of our process. It’s what we’re known for and it’s what drives us. Day in, day out. We increase productivity, performance and profits. At our state-of-the-art Brisbane workshop, we provide a single source for their engineering and manufacturing, blasting, stripping and inspection, surface finishing, assembly and testing and painting and packing requirements. While we are well known as one of the world’s best hydraulic cylinder repairers, we also design, manufacture and refurbish a wide range of components and assemblies such as suspension rods, hitch pins, screen decks, break out preventers, excavator attachments, tubular hangers and wedge wire screens. If it’s made of steel and subject to wear and tear, you can be sure HMG has the capability and capacity to bring it back to its best.

A premium finish starts long before the paint hits the surface.

Every day, the assets we coat are destined for tough operating environments where corrosion, wear, and exposure are constant challenges.

That's why, at HMG, we don't rely on luck to achieve a showroom-quality finish.

Behind every coated cylinder is a team trained in:
✅ Application technique
✅ Vapour management
✅ Ignition control
✅ Quality assurance checkpoints

It's this attention to detail that delivers consistent coverage, controlled application, and long-lasting protection.

The result?

A corrosion-resistant finish that not only looks exceptional but helps reduce downtime and extend asset life.

Because a protected asset is a performing asset.

That's how we live our Made to Last philosophy: by prioritising safety of our people, empowering our people, and never compromising on quality.

Every project has a plan. The real test comes when that plan meets reality.

During excavation works for a new machine foundation, we encountered unexpected ground conditions caused by the naturally low and unstable water table in the Pinkenba area. The supporting ground failed, creating a major risk to the integrity of the proposed slab.

What happened next is what we're most proud of.

Our Facilities & Maintenance team worked closely with specialist contractors to quickly assess the situation and develop a solution. Together, they installed screw piers reaching depths of up to 24 metres, creating a secure foundation for the new slab and the equipment it will support.

While the challenge wasn't part of the original plan, the response demonstrated exactly what strong teams are capable of when they collaborate, adapt, and focus on outcomes.

A big thank you to everyone involved for their expertise, commitment, and unwavering focus on safety throughout the project.

The best projects aren't always the ones without problems. They're the ones where people come together to solve them.

🔧 Quality at HMG Isn’t a Step - It’s a Standard

At HMG, quality isn’t something we check at the end, it’s engineered into every stage of the job.

Every critical component goes through:
· In‑process inspections while being machined
· Dedicated QC audits before leaving the workshop
· Three levels of verification, one uncompromising standard, every time

But the final check? That’s where experience makes all the difference.

👋 Meet Kenny

With more than 45 years at HMG, Kenny has become a benchmark for quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. His knowledge has been built over decades, but what truly sets him apart is his commitment to sharing that expertise with the next generation.

Whether he’s mentoring apprentices or helping solve complex challenges, Kenny is always willing to lend his experience and raise the bar for everyone around him.

When Kenny signs off a component, it’s more than a quality check, it’s a reflection of the standards HMG has built its reputation on.

Because when our customers receive a part from HMG, they need to know it’s right the first time. ✔️

Great energy at HMG this week as we welcomed two apprentices from Palfinger to our site. They spent time with our team, saw our operations up close, and gained valuable insight into how we work.

Experiences like this - learning across companies within the Sime Group - are powerful for building capability, confidence, and strong industry connections.

Big thanks to our team for representing HMG so well. Proud to support the growth of future talent in our industry.

A proud moment for the team at HMG. 💪

From our smallest Steer Cylinders to the Largest Excavator Cylinders, completing the manufacture of a full set of 6090 Excavator Cylinders is no small achievement.

This outcome is a true testament to the skill, teamwork, and attention to detail our people bring to work every day. From machining Solid Steel Billets and precision welding, through to assembly, testing, and final stage painting. Every stage of the process was executed to an exceptional standard.

Huge credit to everyone involved for their unwavering commitment to quality, safety, and delivery. Results like this don’t happen by chance - they’re built by people who genuinely care about what they do.

Well done HMG team. 👏

8.5m Pulldown Rods aren’t built for standard workshops.

At HMG Brisbane, we operate a purpose built facility engineered specifically for oversized mining cylinders - eliminating risk, re handling, and compromise.

✅ Vertical hard chrome plating for rods up to 9m
✅ High capacity cranes & extended benches to safely strip and fit 8.5m rods
✅ Extra long CNC machining & polishing to maintain OEM specs and surface finish
✅ End to end processing on one site – stripping, inspection, machining, chrome / Laser, assembly

The result? Shorter turnaround times and confidence that critical drill rig assets return to service built for life - not just fitment.
