Multidrive, Australia’s leading manufacturer of multi-drive vehicles has just announced a working collaboration with Integrated Equipment, sole distributor of Chambrelan Heavy Duty Sliding Systems in Australia and New Zealand. The recent announcement comes in light of Multidrive winning a recent vehicle order from Rio Tinto, one of the largest mining companies in the world. The vehicles were commissioned to carry out rail maintenance on a 400 Kilometre line in one of the most extreme desert climates in the world, namely the Pilbara region of North Western Australia.
Expected to operate for extensive periods, the vehicles will need to carry essential maintenance and support equipment, working from project to project along the hundreds of mile of line. Gary Walsh, business development manager at Multidrive gave us his thoughts on the project. ”Every part of the Rio Tinto’s vehicle needs to be made of the best quality materials and we quickly realised that a very strong sliding system was going to be needed and one that was easy to install and easy to maintain.”
Using a beefed up Land Cruiser chassis, the MDT 5750kg GVM Model with 2500kg load capacity, boasts another drive axle and uses a torque management power divider, meaning it can tackle the roughest and hardest terrain without any wind-ups or no spin up of axles, even when carrying a load of 2.5 tons. This system doesn’t require any operator input and is simple to maintain and has no special lubricants.
“Working with Bruce Elliott at Integrated we decided to use heavy duty sliding on both the vehicle itself, to maximise storage and also the bespoke trailer, which works as an excellent addition to any Multidrive vehicle,” adds Garry.
These specialised lightweight custom built trailers are mostly used by the emergency services, power companies, logistics and municipal companies, and are also used extensively in a support role, for command and control scenarios. Tailor made, these trailers are a dual axle trailer, and are packed with tool boards and storage and compartments, held in place by Chambrelan heavy-duty slides.
With Integrated Equipment as a partner there’s been a huge surge of interest and a greater awareness of Chambrelan products in the Australian market, with more and more vehicle builders and manufacturers prototyping Chambrelan heavy duty sliding systems on their applications.

February 2011- Consignment stock arrives
Chambrelan Stocks OZ
It’s taken over a year of planning, stock speculation, ordering and manufacturing but finally the first consignment of Chambrelan’s heavy-duty slides and sliding systems has arrived from France for the Australian market. Managing Director, Bruce Elliott, of Integrated and Industrial Equipment Solutions Ltd. based in Melbourne, who brokered the deal, discusses the impact this will have on vehicle manufacturers and industrial operations across Australia
“Chambrelan’s heavy duty sliding systems are being used by Defence, Emergency Services and Manufacturing industries, vehicle builders including Varley, Hockney, Rambler, Bell Environmental and Multidrive. Subsequently Chambrelan’s Telescopic slides have built a reputation for being easy to install, easy to maintain and being available at the right price.”
The move by Chambrelan, to build an ongoing stock program in Australia, has been in response to the rising demand of new designs and new products currently being produced by Australian engineers and manufacturers. “By providing a rapid response range of products for prototyping, we are able to cater to the immediate needs of the market.”
Indeed the decision will dramatically change the delivery times from up to 3 months via sea freight or more costly option of 2 weeks plus by air freight 2 / 3 days. Hopefully this decision investment will prove with existing customers in Australia and as well as reflecting on Chambrelan’s commitment to support it’s growing customer base.
“Australian businesses,” confirms Bruce, “will no doubt benefit from the decision. Australian manufacturing, in terms of mining, industrial and vehicle markets, are made to operate in some of the harshest environments; by providing the strongest and most durable heavy duty sliding system available on the market, we are able to support them.
Integrated Emergency and Industrial Equipment solutions Ltd was established early 2009, but brings to the market over 12 years of Executive Management experience in the specialist manufacturing, spare parts and equipment markets, as well as a wealth of experience in the Utility and fire vehicle markets.
