Heavy Vehicle Custom Engineering

Design & Modelling / Engineering Development / Prototypes / Fabrication

REA provides custom engineering solutions for heavy vehicles, specialised fleets and industrial applications. Projects can range from straightforward vehicle modifications through to more complex engineered systems requiring design, fabrication, hydraulics, electrical integration and testing.

From concept to completion

REA can support a heavy vehicle custom engineering project from initial requirement through design, manufacturing, installation and certification. Every stage, from CAD modelling through to final fit-out, is carried out at our purpose-built Forrestdale facility, so projects move through design, fabrication and finishing without being handed between outside contractors.

1.

3D CAD Design & Modelling

Our expert in-house Engineers can turn your initial concept into a comprehensive 3D drawing, ready to manufacture.

2.

Prototyping

After CAD drawings are complete, REA can build a working prototype of the design and conduct rigorous testing to ensure it meets your requirements.

3.

Fabrication

Whether it's a one-off or custom project for your entire fleet, our fabrication team can produce the final product from our workshop in Forrestdale WA.

4.

Installation, Delivery & Support

REA ship Australia-wide, and provides ongoing support, servicing and maintenance to all structures we build.

Why choose ROPS Engineering Australia

Expert Custom Engineering that lasts

REA brings in-house engineering, fabrication, hydraulics, auto electrical, blasting and painting together with workshop technicians and mobile field support, backed by an Australia-wide service partner network. That means a custom build doesn’t stall waiting on a subcontractor, and once it’s on the road, support doesn’t stop at delivery.

Whether it’s a single modification to an existing vehicle or a fully engineered system built from the ground up, REA scopes the work properly from the outset and stands behind it for the life of the asset.

traceable documentation & certification

Documented, certified, traceable

Every REA job is handed over with a Manufacturing Data Record (MDR) covering the work carried out, whatever the project. ROPS works are supplied with VSB 6 certification, and where a build needs formal independent sign-off we bring an external engineer or certifier into the process. Design and simulation are handled in-house using SolidWorks, including FEA where a job calls for it.

General Fabrication capability

General fabrication projects for heavy vehicles

Alongside our engineered builds, REA takes on fabrication work connected to trucks, heavy vehicles, mining and earthmoving equipment: chassis and mounting structures, cabins, ROPS/FOPS, frames and custom components.

We’re set up for vehicle and equipment fabrication rather than general or domestic steelwork, so the work stays in an area our engineers and welders do every day.
