Profile

Calvin Scott joined the family business in 2016 after working for a large national company, cutting his teeth in purchasing before progressing into the role of supply chain manager. Whilst Calvin now has a crucial role in Unilift’s internationally sourced supply chain, he began his time on the Unilift floor like everyone else in management: swaging wire ropes, fabricating chain lifting slings and gaining vital hands-on experience with the products through testing, inspection & maintenance.

Calvin is an important cog in the production wheel; maintaining inventory, negotiating with our international suppliers and keeping a tab on the quality of products & materials for our production team.

Case Study

Epiroc
Pit Viper Ropes

In October 2015, Epiroc approached UniLift seeking an alternative supplier for their Pit Viper ropes. UniLift conducted a detailed analysis of the ropes in use and, by the end of 2015, had designed and patented a high-performance rope.

During our initial rope life calculations, we conservatively guaranteed a 30% increase in service life over the existing OEM ropes. In January 2016, Unilift installed our rope alongside two competitor ropes in a controlled trial.

Key Outcomes

  • Over 70% improvement in rope life versus previous OEM products
  • Extended inspection intervals and reduced downtime
  • Verified performance through destructive testing beyond MBL
  • Trusted OEM supplier to Epiroc since 2017

Thiess

  • Currently using Ropes on all CAT drills
  • MD6310’s are averaging 230,000Mtrs on the ropes in Coal.
  • MD6310’s on the east coast are all running nylon sheaves and are achieving the 1M Mts.
  • MD6250’s currently on their first set and are at 4000HRs
  • MD6250 nylon sheaves will be fitted
    on the next rope change out.

Key Outcomes

  • Over 70% improvement in rope life versus previous OEM products
