Our heavy-duty spreader bars have quickly become the most popular products coming out of the KNB workshop, and there’s some clever thinking behind how they’re made.

Our Draftsman/Fabricator, Chad, has designed them to make the most of every length of steel, carefully planning the cuts to minimise waste and make the fabrication process as efficient as possible.

Meanwhile, Kye and the boys have been busy fabricating and welding them in-house, with finished spreader bars stacking up in the workshop ready for delivery.

𝗦𝗼, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗿 𝗱𝗼?

Designed for use with suitable tractors, loaders, skid steers and backhoes, these heavy-duty attachments are used to spread, grade and level soil, sand and gravel across paddocks, yards, roads and worksites. They help smooth uneven ground and reduce the time and manual labour involved in ground preparation.

Each spreader bar features a 10mm wear package, providing additional protection in areas exposed to wear.

They’re now making their way across North Queensland to cattle stations, farming operations and commercial equipment hire companies.

A practical piece of equipment, backed by smart engineering and good old-fashioned fabrication skills.

𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗷𝗼𝗯? 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗷𝗼𝗯? 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

While we often showcase our larger projects, we’re just as proud of the smaller jobs we complete for our local customers.

It’s these everyday repairs, modifications, maintenance work and custom fabrication projects that build lasting relationships—and we’re grateful for every opportunity.

Some of our recent local projects include:
🔹 Processing equipment maintenance for Sims Metal
🔹 Structural steel framing and awning for a new liveable shed
🔹 Custom tray modifications for Wentworth Electrical Pty Ltd
🔹 A new all-weather entrance for Lamberts Fresh Produce
🔹 Dozer arm restoration for Mendi Constructions
🔹 Plus many more workshop jobs in between.

These two heavy-duty sulphuric acid tanks have been fabricated with Kye and Finn from KNB Fabrications joining the NEM Group Pty Ltd team for four weeks to help manage overflow work and keep the project on schedule.

Manufactured from 2205-grade stainless steel, these tanks are designed for durability and have an expected service life of well over 100 years.

Built to store sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄), each tank has a storage capacity of 471.24 cubic metres and weighs 13 tonnes when empty.

If you need short-term overflow work, shutdown support, or skilled fabrication tradesmen to help get your project over the line, we’ve got you covered.

Busy couple of weeks on the road for the KNB Crew after securing the concrete bowl maintenance contracts for Boral, Heidelberg, and Pioneer North Qld (PNQ). We travelled across North Qld to Mossman, Cairns, Innisfail, Tully, and Mackay, finishing up with the local fleets in Townsville — Now de-dagging 122 trucks from Port Douglas to Mackay!

A tough job — but essential for keeping these fleets safe, efficient, and on the road 👊

What is “de-dagging?” 🚛⚒️

Over time, leftover concrete sticks to the inside of the mixer drum and hardens into large chunks. If they aren’t removed, they build up, add extra weight, reduce mixing capacity, and can damage the truck.

De-dagging is the process of climbing inside the drum and manually breaking out that hardened concrete using jackhammers and specialised tools. It’s dirty, physically demanding work that requires strict safety procedures, confined space permits, ventilation, and rescue planning.

The de-dagging process is required every six months to ensure the fleets remain safe on the roads and operating at full capacity.
