TMC
is a manufacturer of special-purpose trailer axles for the transport, mining,
and agricultural sectors. The business
was founded in 2001 and has occupied the current workshop facility in Hallam,
Victoria since 2004. The range of axles TMC produces includes disc and drum
braked models for 17.5”, 19.5” and 22.5” wheels and because they are mostly
locally built, they can be made to suit any application and at any required
track length.
In
the majority of cases, the axles are supplied as a package with either leaf
spring or airbag suspension. In the case
of the air suspension offering, the company specialised in low-profile set-ups
for 17.5” and 19.5” wheels with a fair amount of customisation for quad –axle
combinations and to suit rear self-steering axles. TMC Australia Operations Manager, Alex Law
says the company tends to concentrate on special-purpose axles in the capacity
range of 9 to 20 tonnes,
with the product often custom-built to suit heavy-duty, off-road and arduous
applications.
Our
mechanical suspensions offer transport operators the twin comforts of extended
life and minimal maintenance, with features developed by TMC's engineers over
many years of personal experience. Since entering the market, these suspensions
have proven invaluable on multi-trailer configurations, road trains and
A-B-Triples.
TMC's
cost-effective air suspension and axle package, supplied as a modular assembly
for ease of fitment by trailer manufacturers, boosts profits by ensuring both
extra payload and lower maintenance costs.
All
of TMC's product developments are based on our customers' requirements. Because
our engineering base is here in Australia, we can modify any design as
determined by you.
Whereas
some producers target volume of sales via mass production, we specialise in
quality. We are proud of our long-term relationships with many niche market
trailer builders, who know they can rely on TMC to supply what they need.
