Himac Attachments: Earthmoving and Agricultural Attachments in Albany WA
Our head office and manufacturing plant is at 8 Merrifield Street, Albany. We make and supply earthmoving machinery attachments in Albany and sell them right across the country, for skid steers, tractor loaders, telehandlers, wheel loaders, excavators and mini loaders. Ring 1800 888 114 or email [email protected].
Made in Albany, sent Australia-wide
We manufacture more than 85 per cent of what we sell, and we do it here in Western Australia. That is the part people are usually surprised by: the buckets, rakes, grapples and slashers on farms and job sites in other states were built in Albany. We employ a workforce 76 strong and counting, and we buy from Australian material suppliers where we can.
We are a team of attachment enthusiasts, and the aim is straightforward: better quality attachments, built by Australians, to suit Australian workloads. We specialise in reliable earthmoving and agricultural attachments made from high grade steel, and our customers use them for farming and for a wide range of contracting work.
Our management team is Darren Tindal as Managing Director, Craig Tindal as Director and Russell Tindal as Senior Manager, with Jack McPhee heading up sales. Everyone is on the same 1800 number, so you are not chasing an extension list to get an answer about a mount type.
Not everything is made in-house. Some specialised attachments are brought in from Europe, mostly Italy and Spain, along with the UK, New Zealand and Canada. Whatever the source, the range is field tested before it goes on the site: if it does not pass, we do not sell it.
Attachments for the machine you run
Our range is organised by machine first, then by job, so you are not sorting through gear that will never fit what is in your shed.
What we supply
- Buckets and rakes: general purpose buckets and stick rakes, with 4in1 buckets coming into the range.
- Grapples: including our claw grapples, covered by the same 24-month warranty as the rest of the range.
- Slashers: Australian made, for grass, bushes, small trees and overgrown weeds.
- Forks: pallet and lifting forks for skid steers, telehandlers and loaders.
- Auger drives and trenchers: plus post hole diggers for tractors.
- Vegetation control and ground engaging tools: for clearing and dirt work.
- Concrete equipment, brooms and cleaning gear: for site work and clean-up.
- Hay handling: for farm loaders and tractors.
Machine matching, warranty and freight
Fitment is where attachment purchases go wrong, so we run a millimetre-accurate machine matching process rather than assuming it will be right on the day. If your mount type is uncommon or the measurements are unclear, we will say so and work out an alternative with you.
Every attachment carries a 24-month warranty, which is twice the industry standard, and we back it with after-sales support. On freight, being in WA is less of a problem than people expect: our freight going east is back-loaded from the mines, which keeps the cost down. Within Western Australia the pricing is more straightforward again.
