Production

The modern St Marys factory has the capacity to build the entire Plasser range of products, including even the largest machines.

The factory is fully self-contained with minimal dependence on sub-contract work. Virtually all work is integrated within the one complex, uniting several engineering disciplines:

• Heavy structural steel fabrication
• Sheet metal fabrication
• Machining
• Electrical manufacture and installation
• Hydraulic and pneumatic installation
• Hydraulic cylinder manufacture
• Fitting and assembly
• Testing and calibration

Numerous machines have been developed and adapted specifically for Australian railways and local conditions for narrow- standard- and broad gauge, as well as special machines for the 610 mm gauge sugar cane railways.
