Quality Assurance

Our commitment to quality is a priority at UNIMAX. We continue to work hard to align our processes and your expectations.

The fundamental guarantee of the quality comes with choosing the right supplier.  Building on the knowledge and experience has led us to develop innovative products that take advantage of the newest technologies.

Unimax is an extremely vertical industrial company that designs, develops and manufactures the equipment.

Our success in the world stems from its capacity to know how to anticipate the needs of the markets and every machine produced proves the company's commitment to offering their customers the best technology available today, with the guarantee of fifty years of experience in research and innovation.

It is precisely thanks to the research, the innovation and the continuous development of new products that the Company wants to further strengthen its leadership in advanced technologies and quality.

As a complete engineering and manufacturing company, we have a skilled engineering team and fully equipped manufacturing facility. we operate our business through a team who has the highest levels of integrity, diligence, product knowledge, and market intelligence, with a focus on customer satisfaction & project success. We have the fully equipped facility, and use the most advanced working processes. We produce in house most of the components, from the basic material till the finished items.

Our engineers use the latest in design technology. By using a combination of Math CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) and “Finite Element Analysis,” we can design for static and dynamic loads with increased accuracy. In addition, we have our own Publications Department that produces the parts and service manuals supplied with the equipment.

We manufacture all of its products. Every structure basically starts out as a flat plate or bar stock steel which is burned, sheared, formed and fabricated into parts. We can cut plates on a multi-head automatic burner and can bend and shear plate of up to 12 feet long.

We make extensive use of positioners, jigs and fixtures for weldments to assure their accuracy, fit and consistent quality. The chassis weldment, for example, is set up on a fixture, then production-welded on a rotating spit. The majority of our welding is done with robot welding. The robot are also capable of performing stainless steel or spray transfer metal arc welding, which are occasionally required by special application weldments.

We have a full-service machine shop capable of meeting all our machining needs. All of the heavy lift units have fabricated axle housings that are welded integral with the chassis. There are two primary reasons for this. First, we can widen the track or stance of the unit with this method compared with the width offered with a cast housing. Second, by making it integral with the chassis, it increases the structural integrity of the unit. All our units use

heavy-duty single or double reduction planetaries and differentials. The large round

hole on this weldment will receive a single reduction differential.

All of the weldments are acid picklinged and phosphated for light components or sandblasted for heavy steel structures, and primed prior to going to final assembly. Once the unit is assembled, it is painted in the paint rooms. The paint rooms are a controlled environment in which we can regulate humidity and temperature. Mobile units receive approximately 2-1/2 mm thickness of lead-free, high quality equipment enamel, while marine cranes receive various marine environment coatings as specified by the application and/or the customer. Once the unit has been painted, our inspection personnel review the unit and perform additional functional tests.

We have an 84,000-square foot final assembly area. The area is served by one 10-ton, two 20-ton and two 25-ton overhead cranes.

In order to ensure that all our vehicles—whether standard or special—are reliable and durable over time, our QC (Quality Control) officer perform thorough testing under real operating conditions to evaluate their performance and their compliance with all of the design specifications, safety requirements imposed by regulations, homologation and certification parameters, and the characteristics required by the market. We carry out these checks using a testing ground, which is an area of over 20,000 m² with a 900-metre concrete track, an off-road test course and a 400 m² covered structure housing educational workshops, classrooms for training operators and a 60-seater grandstand with full views over the complex.

We also use special equipment such as a roller bench for performing tests in motion, a tilting platform for stability tests and electronic instruments, which capture the data needed for each vehicle's development and implementation.

All of the units produced are completed, tested and cycled. Once this is complete, the Service Representatives inspect the units. The Service Department inspects the equipment because they have both in-house and field exposure to possible problem areas.

After the unit has passed inspection, it is disassembled for shipment to the jobsite, where it is reassembled and checked over by the servicing dealer.

We service any and all makes of equipment, whether it is in our facility or on your site.

We value the importance of customer satisfaction by providing unparalleled product support and service to ensure the ongoing quality and performance excellence of products in your business.

For the parts service, with extensive experience and leading-edge technologies, we have built a sophisticated system to ensure the efficiency of parts delivery to remedy the breakdown situation.
