We’re proud to have built and operate Australia’s largest Winch Test Rig — a one-of-a-kind piece of infrastructure designed and constructed entirely in-house by the skilled team at Neumann Contractors. This showcases our technical expertise and continues to play a vital role in supporting safety, performance, and reliability across heavy-duty equipment testing.
What Is the Winch Test Rig?
Our Winch Test Rig has been engineered to test and certify winches in line with strict Australian Standards. With a capacity to handle test loads of up to 120 tonnes, it enables us to validate some of the most robust and high-performing winches used across mining, marine, construction, and infrastructure sectors — all from our own facility.
Why It Matters
This addition to our Equipment Division means we can now conduct full-scale testing under safe and controlled conditions. The benefits are wide-reaching:
- Reduced reliance on third-party testing, streamlining project timelines and increasing control over quality standards
- Improved safety and reliability for lifting operations
- Increased compliance assurance for both internal and external stakeholders
A Leap Forward in Capability
The successful commissioning of this rig is a major milestone for Neumann Equipment. It highlights our commitment to developing purpose-built infrastructure that drives both innovation and operational excellence.
Located at Currumbin QLD, the Winch Test Rig is more than just an impressive structure — it’s a cornerstone of how we continue to test, build, and maintain the industry-grade equipment that supports critical operations across Australia.
