About

Bomac was founded in 1984 by the engineers who originally created the Altrac product range. While a newer generation of engineers now manage the day-to-day operation of the business, the company’s founders are still involved at arms-length, acting as mentors and consultants. This helps ensure consistency and product integrity, as well as encouraging continuous innovation.

The company has been trading for over 30 years, and you can be sure that Bomac engineers will be available in future to address any questions or concerns you may have. The standard products meet most needs and are designed for the purchaser to install and extend as needed. All new product research and development is done in-house.

This website highlights some of the standard products offered by Bomac, but is not a comprehensive list. Contact Bomac to discuss a system to meet your specific needs.

Bomac materials handling products are used in many industries including manufacturing, automotive, mining, and food and beverage processing. Altrac cranes and height safety systems can be found across all states and territories in Australia: Victoria - VIC, New South Wales - NSW, Western Australia - WA, South Australia - SA, Queensland - QLD, Tasmania - TAS and in New Zealand - NZ.

Altrac has been exported to many regions around the world including Oceania, Middle East, Asia, Europe and the US. Please contact Bomac directly to enquire about suppliers in these locations.
