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.

RB Rotator Series
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.

Welding a structural steel beam using the Rimco Rotator
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.

Structural Steel Beam turning equipment

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.

The RIMCO Rotator requires electrical and air services. To ensure your specific requirements are met, each client completes a questionnaire which advises us of your needs.

Key Benefits in using a RIMCO Rotator:

  1. 100% safe for welding and positioning
  2. Increase in productivity
  3. Reduce injuries
  4. Save on overheads and wages
  5. Eliminate dangerous turning bars and hold structural steel beams safely

Please see below for further benefits:

  • Our material handling equipment ensures a safer way for fabricators to hold and turn steel sections by completely enclosing the steel in a locked turning ring.
  • As a result of savings in downtime experienced when turning or ‘tacking bracing stays’ on steel, there is a faster fabrication turnaround.
  • Reduced need for overhead cranes. RIMCO Rotator enables factories to have fewer over head cranes per welding station, reduces the use of each over head crane meaning reduction in power, and maintenance and repair which can all be costly.
  • With steel completely braced, there’s no risk of toppling or falling, ensuring a safe turning solution minimising the need for overall crane lifts.
  • The RIMCO Rotator allows the fabricator to turn steel in continuously clockwise or anti-clockwise.
  • Fabricators can stop steel sections at the most ergonomic position for comfortable welding, allowing them to concentrate longer and reduce workplace fatigue.
  • Continuous turning and easy access let fabricators check all welding easily, thoroughly, and quickly.
  • Safer fabrication method reducing individual body “wear and tear” and reducing major incidence – lowering OH&S costs.
  • Implementing the RIMCO Rotator helps ensure everyone gets home safely.
