New high-speed door manufacturing facility for Victoria
Arbon Equipment is set to open a high-speed door manufacturing facility at Laverton North, in Melbourne’s west, in January 2019.
The 1200 m2 facility will be staffed by a local workforce and officially endorsed as a Made in Australia manufacturer. Local Australian production will decrease lead times on doors from three months to a matter of days with 100% spare parts availability.
Product lines will include the Rite-Hite FasTrax doors series, including the FR (freezer), Standard and LD (large driver) models. Doors will be offered in blue and carbon.
Adjacent to the manufacturing space, a 450 m2 Arbon Equipment showroom already features a variety of industrial equipment, including doors, loading dock levellers and vehicle restraints. The full-size equipment displays give customers a chance to take part in comprehensive product demonstrations.
Arbon is the Australian service and distribution arm of Rite-Hite, a global manufacturer of loading dock and industrial facility equipment. Principal product lines include: vehicle restraints, dock levellers, integrated controls, dock seals and shelters, industrial power doors, HVLS fans, aftermarket products and preventive maintenance services.
