See the Benefits
We are continually developing our range of products. So if you have special needs, please contact us to discuss your unique requirements.
Less Risk, Lower Costs
RIMCO Rotators were developed to take the risk and time out of turning heavy or awkward structural steel beams. Through the development process we have also discovered significant time savings and reduction in overhead costs.
A wide Range
Rotator Industries develops and manufactures a range of material handling solutions associated with the turning of structural steel beams.
Industry Experience
With over 25 years experience in the structural steel building industry, we saw a real need to take the risk and cost out of turning heavy or awkward steel sections. So we created the RIMCO Rotator – a safer, more efficient and cost effective turning solution!
Our Team
The team at RIMCO Rotator are committed to providing practical products that are market competitive. Our focus is on safety, efficiency and the most cost effective and easy to implement solutions.
The RIMCO Rotator holds and turns structural steel beams:
SAFER
Encapsulates steel so it won’t topple or fall and requires fewer crane lifts using chains and slings. Steel can also be turned to the most comfortable and ergonomic position.

FASTER
Welders can turn structural steel beams by simply pressing a button. This makes welding and checking faster. New and improved design minimises set-up time.

CHEAPER
Reduce overheads with fewer crane lifts, faster steel positioning means more production in less time. A safer workshop means lower insurances and happier, safer more productive employees.

RIMCO Rotators can be implemented into a typical workshop layout and will replace the traditional method of trestle table welding stations
Have you ever considered how much production time you could save if your guys didn’t have to re-harness beams to turn them in the welding process?
Time Saving
How much time could be saved if you could run a whole production shop without waiting for a crane?
Productivity Saver
Have you ever considered a production process where overhead cranes were no longer essential?
Reduce Risk
Are you seeking to reduce your risk of injury on the workshop floor. Is workplace health and safety a concern for you in the material handling of structural steel?
We created the solution! RIMCO Rotators have been developed to maximise efficiency of fabrication time on the metal-shop floor.
