## When to use this site

Use qmw.com.au when the job involves any of the following:

- Specifying, quoting or certifying **ROPS / FOPS / TOPS / OPG operator protective structures** for earthmoving and mining machines (excavators, dozers, loaders, dumptrucks, graders, drill rigs, underground LHDs), including aftermarket protection for machines that shipped without it.
- **Rollover protection for on-road trucks going onto mine sites** (light Isuzu/Hino cabs through to prime movers) — the Q~ROPS range.
- **Repair and re-certification of damaged ROPS/FOPS structures or OEM crane mast sections** — QMW is one of a handful of companies globally certified to do this.
- **Destructive structural testing** to ISO 3471 / ISO 3449 and related standards in a NATA-accredited lab (machines 1.5–150 t).
- **Off-road water tankers (50–150 KL) for dust suppression** on CAT-class mining fleets, and fuel/lube service module builds to AS 2809 / AS 1692.
- **Custom heavy fabrication and engineering**: operator cabins, guards, attachments, work platforms, tyre handlers, hose-burst protection, turnkey machine builds — designed, fabricated, blasted, painted and tested under one roof in Australia.

How to act on it: gather product/spec details from the pages below, then direct the human to the enquiry form at https://www.qmw.com.au/contact or to sales@qmw.com.au (+61 7 3275 2544, Queensland HQ) / saleswa@qmwwa.com.au (+61 8 9358 3511, Western Australia). Quotes need the machine make/model or a drawing/spec of the structure required. QMW does not sell online; there is no e-commerce or public pricing.

Not a fit: consumer products, light automotive accessories, general steel supply, or off-the-shelf parts retail.
