HIRE AND RENTAL NEWS • NOVEMBER 2016
Independent hire business, Better Rentals
has four branches in Melbourne’s SE
Suburbs – Ferntree Gully, Cranbourne,
Packenham and Mornington.
The investment came about earlier this
year when Better Rentals considered
options for renewal of its loader fleet and
Ferntree Gully branch manager Bryan
Harmer suggested Vermeer tracked mini
loaders.
Bryan said he had experience with
the Vermeer product and suggested
the tracked Vermeer loaders as the
best solution for customers. Following
product demonstrations, a proposal from
David Franey of Vermeer’s Melbourne
dealership was presented, and the order
for five tracked mini loaders placed.
With a strong focus on customer service,
Better Rentals is well versed on the
benefits of keeping a low-hour and well
maintained fleet, Bryan said.
Crommelins Machinery has released a
new range of air movers and ventilators
branded Cromtech for applications where
rapid movement of air and/or ventilation
is required. Made from heavy duty
durable materials, these stackable units
come with long power cables, ranging
from 500w to 1000w, are lightweight,
have ergonomic carry handles and
adjustable speed controls (most models)
to match the airflow to the task and will
quickly and efficiently dry carpets and/or
clear rooms.
Crommelins offers full support through its
national service and spare parts network
and a Cromtech one year warranty.

“You could say our core values distil
down to honesty, transparency and
great equipment,” Bryan said.
“When customers hire from us we
ensure from the beginning they are
recommended the most appropriate
equipment for their project, they are
made aware of all of the costs up-
front, and they can be confident the
equipment can be relied upon to get
the job done. Whether a contractor
and regular hirer, or a weekend warrior
with a small window of time to move a
mountain over the weekend, we make it
a rule to treat their needs equally. And
we find customers really respond well.”
Better Rental’s mantra of 'small enough
to care – and big enough to help' would
seem a good fit with the powerful but
compact Vermeer mini loader.

This is achieved through a UK based
Hydrafeed Barfeeder and a Royal Rota
Rack working in conjunction.
“Hydrafeed Barfeeders increase the
productivity of any CNC turning centre
and can be retrofitted to any entry level
CNC machine as well as multi-tasking
turning centres. This provides a solution
for increased productivity from your
machine tool,” Dimac Managing Director,
Paul Fowler said.
Standard features include complete servo
control on all axes, fully automated set-up
through a user friendly HMI screen and
the versatility to accommodate different
bar diameters and lengths including
random bar lengths. A variety of models
are available to suit any application.
Rota-Rack is a lean, cost-effective device
that safely collects finished parts as
they come off a CNC lathe, providing a
Retrofit automation solution for CNC Machine tool operators
Dimac Tooling, Australia and New Zealand’s supplier of accessories and work holding
solutions for CNC milling and CNC turning machine tools, is now offering CNC machine
operators a retrofit automation solution to improve productivity and efficiency while
protecting the finished product.
competitive advantage
to manufacturers by
enabling their machine
tools to run unattended
for extended periods of
time, Paul said. Rota-
Rack is manufactured
in the USA by Royal
Products.
“Equipping your bar-fed
CNC lathes with a Rota-
Rack enables you to
continue making parts long after the last
employee leaves. Crucially, it eliminates
parts damage and can give you up to
10 extra hours of unmanned production
every single day,” Paul said.
“One of the most important aspects of
the Rota-Rack is no machine interface
is required, electrical or mechanical; the
unit simply plugs into a 240v AC outlet
and the operator sets the index functions
with a simple touch-screen PLC.
“The unique rotary spiral gently guides
finished parts to the centre as the
turntable rotates, while a low-friction
UHMW material covers all contact
surfaces for superior part protection."
