Advanced Plant Safety Solutions:
Plantmech Product Range
Plantmech provides industry-leading installation and design services for auxiliary hydraulic and electronic safety systems. Our comprehensive range integrates world-class technology to protect operators, pedestrians, and high-value equipment in the most demanding environments.
Essential Hydraulic Protection
Hose Burst Protection Valves (HBPV):
Vital for any earthmoving machine rated over 1,000kg, these valves prevent uncontrolled boom or dipper arm collapse in the event of a hydraulic hose failure.
Compliance & Safety:
Our HBPV systems are designed to meet ISO 8643 and AS 1418.8 standards, ensuring your machinery complies with critical Australian safety regulations.
Precision Engineering:
We provide and install auxiliary hydraulic systems on all types of earthmoving equipment, including excavators, loaders, and backhoes, for seamless “factory-installed” performance.
PRM Engineering Sentinel Safety Range
Developed by PRM Engineering Services, the Sentinel range offers cutting-edge electronic safety solutions:
Pedestrian Detection Systems
More reliable than human spotters, Sentinel Vision AI continuously monitors customisable detection zones in the vicinity of any moving plant and warns operators when it detects pedestrians.

Sentinel Height & Slew Limiters
Enable the safe operation of excavators, loaders, skid steers and backhoes near overhead powerlines, bridges and inside tunnels. Now with PL d / SIL 2 option for high-risk use cases.

Sentinel Load Moment Indicator
Measures and displays the load moment on loaders. The load moment is a measure of the force that the load is exerting on the machine by the boom weight and object carried.

GKD Safety Innovations
Through our partnership with GKD Technologies, we supply and install globally recognised safety systems.
Sensorzone Proximity Warning:
A robust RFID-based system that creates a “safety bubble” around machines, alerting both the operator and pedestrians to potential incursions.
Versatile Integration:
GKD sensors can be retrofitted to a wide variety of plant types, from compact excavators to heavy loaders, ensuring site-wide safety consistency.
