Special purpose machinery

Special purpose defines those projects where no solution existed before, or where an inefficient compromise had previously been tolerated.

We at Garrandale have remedied these situations for our customers countless times since forming in 1976, and we have earned a reputation for invention, innovation and a ‘can do’ attitude that always produces a successful outcome.

We are a totally integrated engineering company which can offer conceptual design, prototyping, manufacturing and planned preventative maintenance programmes.

We will work closely with your project team to enable two-way knowledge transfers to ensure the optimum result in a timely and cost-effective way.

The solution may be a simple nut-and-bolt fixing, a cutting-edge robotic system or the implementation of a new manual-, semi- or fully-automated process.

Whatever the solution, at Garrandale we have the in-house expertise and resources to provide it without the need to resort to subcontractors. Garrandale is your single source of supply and a long term partner in waiting!

Typical examples of our special purpose machinery include:

• The manufacture of jigs for transportation systems
• Automotive & rail seating systems
• Bespoke assembly equipment & tooling
• The pioneering use of carbon fibre for rail sector jigs and fixtures that are stronger, more lightweight and more rigid.

Our experience and specialist understanding allows us to work closely with our customers to select the most appropriate material for jig and tooling manufacture because we know that this tooling can play a key part in improving the overall process.
