At FMA Industrial, we are constantly seeking solutions that bring efficiency, safety, and productivity to mining operations. That is why we are pleased to announce that Westate, a company internationally recognized for its innovation in chain mounting systems, has joined us as our new strategic partner.

Westate is the developer of the Tyre Chain Spindle system, a proven solution used in operations such as Rio Tinto (Western Australia), where it has generated significant cost savings and notable improvements in operational safety.

What does the Tyre Chain Spindle system offer?

✅ Increased safety: Allows chains to be installed off the equipment, eliminating direct exposure of the operator to heavy machinery.

⏱️ Reduced downtime: Chains can be mounted while the equipment remains in operation; the final change is done during scheduled maintenance.

🔧 Versatility: Compatible with FMA Tyre Handlers and other brands, adaptable to tires of various sizes (45”, 57”, among others).

This partnership enables us to offer our clients a world-class solution that perfectly complements our tire manipulators and specialized services.
