BONFIGLIOLI POWERS
CRANE LEADER EILBECK
ON MAJOR TUNNEL PROJECTS
Cranes and lifting leader
Eilbeck is benefitting from
the safety, reliability and
durability of Bonfiglioli drives across
several major tunnelling projects in
Australia.
Bonfiglioli’s high quality, rugged
drives are engineered and
assembled at their Glendenning
NSW headquarters and delivered to
major projects such as Melbourne
Metro Tunnel, Westgate Tunnel,
NorthConnex, Westconnex and
Sydney Metro 2, where they
power Eilbeck’s cranes and lifting
equipment.
“Eilbeck’s market-leading status in
Australia is due to our consistently
high quality and robust products,
ongoing reliability and outstanding
backup service. Having a supplier
like Bonfiglioli that shares these
qualities is an asset in ensuring safe,
efficient and reliable operations,”
says Charlie Eilbeck, head of Eilbeck
Heavy Machining Centre.
Mr Eilbeck says the company has
a strong focus on short delivery
times, reliable service and never
turning down a problem for being
too complex, so it’s rewarding to
work with a company like Bonfiglioli
with similar values and a focus on
innovation and problem solving.
Bonfiglioli drives supplied to
Eilbeck for the tunnelling projects –
including HDP and F series parallel
helical gear units – power cranes
that lower tunnel-boring machines,
handle pre-cast slabs and are
mucking 24 hrs a day.
“In our business, our cranes are
hauling 24/7, so safety and reliability
are imperative. Clients rely on us
for smooth running operations. In
addition to hauling products, many
of our cranes are equipped with
man-riding capacity, so we cannot
have any doubt with the safety of
the products we use. We have relied
on Bonfiglioli for many years now
due to its outstanding safety and
total standards compliance, high
product quality, and reliability of
service, backup and support,” says
Mr Eilbeck.
“We have competitive time lines
on major tunnel projects, and we’re
penalised for any downtime. The
reliability of Bonfiglioli’s drives
means we have one less thing to
worry about and we can get on with
the efficient running of operations,”
he says.
“For us, Bonfiglioli is a trusted
partner. They not only supply
world-class products with readilyavailable
support, but they do so
competitively. This allows us to
remain competitive in the market
without compromising on quality
