Molnar hoists are designed and manufactured to comply with Australian Standards (AS/NZ 1418.9).

our manufacturing capabilities
In house design and manufacturing guarantees a high degree of quality and control over all processes. Our sizeable manufacturing facilities allow for product customisation, testing, prototyping and on-going product improvement.

Many hoist components are cut at Molnar’s laser cutting division where machines are capable of cutting steel sheets up to 20mm thick with extremely fine detail and repeatability. Flexible and easily programmable, lasercutting allows us to rapid-prototype and deliver custom parts or small batches.

For maximum efficiency we use programmable CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) equipment at every opportunity. CNC mills are precise, efficient and consistently produce high-tolerance hoist components. Robots perform many of the welding tasks for speed, agility and repeatability.
