FMT is helping Australian mining companies limit downtime through its raft of site-specific engineering solutions.
Established in 1995, Field Machine Tools (FMT) is Australia’s largest stockist of specialist on-site machining and portable maintenance equipment.
The company offers a comprehensive range of portable equipment suitable for a large range of applications, material and specifications.
FMT is a dry-hire-only company – one that never competes against its customers for on-site service work – with conveniently located branches in Queensland, Victoria and WA.
Moving equipment from the job site to a repair facility can delay project completion and impact profits. This is where Field Machine Tools can help.
FMT offers the on-site repair and maintenance machines that can minimise maintenance times and keep equipment working.
The company’s wide range of portable equipment is available for rent or purchase, Australia-wide from its three branches. This includes equipment for machining applications such as portable milling machines, portable lathes, clamshell pipe lathes, flange facers (outside diameter and inside diameter mount), line boring machines, vessel grinding machines and pneumatic-based drills.
