Machinery & Product Design

Practical solutions for OEMs and industrial operations across Queensland ​

At Prograde Engineering, we help OEMs, maintenance managers, and equipment builders bring new machinery and product ideas to life — from concept through to production. Whether you’re upgrading existing equipment or developing something entirely new, we provide the design capability, certification, and documentation needed to move confidently from idea to build.

Our work covers custom machinery, implements, linkages, frames, and hydraulic or power-train systems for industries including agriculture, mining, and manufacturing. Each project begins with a clear understanding of your operational needs so the outcome is safe, efficient, and practical to maintain.

Using SolidWorks 3D CAD and Finite Element Analysis (FEA), we verify load paths, stress levels, and material performance before fabrication begins. Designs are prepared in accordance with AS 1100 drafting standards and supplied with full manufacturing documentation and bill of materials. For clients requiring compliance, we deliver RPEQ-certified drawings and calculations to meet Queensland’s professional engineering requirements.

Collaboration and clear communication are at the centre of how we work. Our background in both hands-on fabrication and OEM product development means we understand the realities of getting equipment built, serviced, and supported in the field. Every design considers not only performance but also ease of manufacture, assembly, and maintenance.

For defence and high-reliability applications, Prograde Engineering applies systems-engineering principles drawn from experience with complex OEM and Defence projects, ensuring mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems integrate smoothly throughout their life cycle.
