Custom designed solutions - We can help
If you have a particular material handling problem that you can’t find a solution for within the pages of our website, then don’t worry, we offer a state of the art custom design service that can help.
Our specialist design department has a wealth of experience that will allow them to tailor make a solution to suit your exacting needs.
At this initial stage, we listen to what your material handling problem is, and by working closely with you, we get a full understanding of what your requirements are. Our design engineers can attend site and talk through the application with you personally. All relevant information will be taken during this site survey in order for the designers to set to work once back in the office.
- On site consultation
- Liaise directly with our engineer
With state of the art CAD technology, we are able to simulate real world applications in a software environment. This enables us to replicate how your attachment is going to be used and determine the suitability and safety of the item prior to manufacture. We utilise this in conjunction with real world load testing to ensure your attachment can handle everything that you are going to throw at it.
- Utilising latest Solidworks technology
- Stress analysis
- Modern design techniques
Ensuring everything is correct at the design stage, is crucial, so we make sure you are kept informed all the way through this important process. Utilising state of the art technology, we will be able to send you photo realistic 3D imagery of the intended attachments design. This, together with our dimensioned drawing, is a great opportunity for you to view the design and make any pre-production changes or corrections, and in doing so, avoiding costly post-production modifications
- Full rendering and photo realistic imagery
- Customer approval process

”As part of Aquila’s contribution to the Chute Silo decommissioning project at Magnox, Berkeley, we turned to Contact to provide a custom drum handling solution. The team showed a real ‘can do’ attitude, and we would definitely use them again in the future “
