Comprehensive solutions for mining, heavy construction and infrastructure
Field Machine Tools goes beyond supplying equipment — it delivers complete, end-to-end solutions designed to improve productivity, efficiency and profitability across mining, civil engineering, and infrastructure sectors. The team’s engineering expertise, combined with dedicated customer support, ensures Field Machine Tools always meets the demanding requirements of industries where precision, reliability and adaptability are essential.
When unexpected machining challenges arise in the field, the Field Machine Tools team responds with a full range of standard equipment, including line boring and bore welding machines, flange facers, lathes and milling machines. Field Machine Tools also provides tailored solutions, from custom-designed tooling and specialised mounting fixtures to operator training,and technical support. This integrated approach helps keep projects on schedule,within budget and performing at optimal levels — while delivering measurable return on investment.
For applications requiring the machining of critical mounting surfaces, Field Machine Tools’ portable milling machine offer unmatched flexibility and precision.The three-axis milling machine rangeis engineered for accuracy, rigidity and versatility, enabling efficient material removal and operation in virtually any position.
The lineup begins with the SJP series, a highly adaptable solution offering bed travel options ranging from 500mm to 2000mm, with configurable gantry setups for larger applications. Field Machine Tools’ equipment is trusted for precision restoration of large-scale components, such as mining shovel car bodies, including Caterpillar 7495 side frames and shear ledge surfaces, restoring them to factory specifications.
Field Machine Tools’ circular milling systems are engineered for large-diameter machining applications, including wind towers and crane bases. With a machining range from 1867mm to 5054mm, these systems deliver fast, accurate and reliable performance in both field and workshop environments. Featuring servo control, optional single-point turning and flexible mounting configurations (ID, OD, or surface), they significantly reduce setup time while increasing operational efficiency.
For on-site shaft machining, Field MachineTools’ key mills provide a fast and cost-effective alternative to outsourcing. Designed for portability and precision, these machines allow operators to machine keyways directly on large shafts — eliminating transport delays and reducing downtime. Available in two- and three-axis configurations, they can cut keyways, slots, pockets and flats on shaft diameters ranging from 35mm to 200mm. Built for demanding environments, Field Machine Tools’ key mills feature sealed gearbox lubrication, enabling reliable operation in horizontal, verticalor overhead positions. This makes the man ideal solution for maintenance, repair and field machining applications where flexibility and performance are critical.
In sourcing products for its range of mining solutions, Field Machine Tools looks for reliable, versatile and adjustable products that can perform in harsh and unforgiving conditions. This means ensuring products have a number of key attributes:
Portable and versatile
Underground mining repairs require versatile, adjustable equipment that meets industry standards in cramped conditions, ensuring clients achieve the best results. For example, the ATEX, robust and easy to maintain Modec compressed air motors are suitable for explosive and challenging atmospheres.
Adaptability to unique situations
Mining often requires equipment and systems that cannot be replicated with generic solutions. Equipment for on-site repair and maintenance provides the adaptability that perfectly match these complex needs. Goodway’s RAM-4X Tube Cleaner and SootVac combination is a clean solution for a dirty problem, engineered for cleaning soot from boilers.
Improved efficiency
Streamlined processes reduce time and costs, contributing to a better overall workflow while maintaining high quality standards of work. Equipment such as the Climax BB5000 line boring machine integrates with Climax borewelders, enabling simultaneous boring and welding improving operational efficiency.
Enhanced safety features
Safety is always a priority in on-site machining machines, and Field Machine Tools prioritises features that mitigate risks and ensure compliance with industry regulations. An example is the RHS Induction Heating Systems that provide 75% less heat reflected back and welders are not exposed to hot connector/ceramic pads.
Specific application
Unique tools engineered for specific applications that decrease downtime during maintenance. Krais Tube ToolsMini Drill GFF for gasket facing and plug thread repair on FinFan coolers.
