Working hard at what we do. Our products and services are always in demand.
Across Australia, millions of pieces of industrial equipment are in operation every day spanning agriculture, mining, construction, manufacturing, logistics, defence, marine, and more. This includes over 20 million automotive vehicles alone, forming one of the largest and most diverse operational fleets in the region.
This national fleet continues to grow year after year, driven by population growth, infrastructure investment, and industry expansion. At the same time, existing equipment must be maintained, repaired, upgraded or replaced to stay safe, productive, and compliant. This constant cycle of growth and renewal creates a critical, ongoing demand for high-quality components and dependable supply partners.
Flexible Drive plays a vital role in keeping this equipment moving. Our products are essential to the operation and longevity of vehicles and machinery across countless sectors. With an ever-expanding national fleet, the reliability, availability and performance of the parts we supply has never been more important.
Through a nationwide distribution network and the availability of thousands of parts, we support our customers with components that meet industry standards, application requirements, and real-world conditions. Whether it’s for new builds, upgrades, or maintenance programs, our mission is to provide the right products where and when you need them to keep your equipment operating at its best.
We categorise our products into three types.
The best control systems work seamlessly in the background, creating a link between the operator, the environment, and the equipment itself. Effective control relies on components that respond precisely, communicate clearly, and withstand the demands of real-world operation.
Broadly, there are three primary control functions, and we structure our product range around these categories. Each plays a distinct role in how equipment is steered, managed, or interacted with, ensuring operators can work safely, efficiently, and with confidence.
Products that enhance situational awareness
At Flexible Drive we supply products such as sensors, instruments, wiper systems, lighting, camera systems, software and alarms to help our customers achieve situational awareness. Our situational awareness products provide feedback, keep people informed, alert to potential dangers and allow ongoing monitoring of equipment.
Products that provide decision support
Increasingly control systems will require a capability to provide decision support, systems which involve software, AI, machine learning, IoT and connectivity to other devices. Flexible Drive, in association with our research partners,
is investing in the development of the next generation decision support solutions.
Products that enable operators to take effective action
We supply solenoids, switches, levers, pedals, cables, hydraulics, brakes, vibration control and flexible shaft systems to help our customers take effective action. These types of products enable our customers to safely turn equipment on and off, speed up, slow down, and open or close elements of a system based on the feedback they receive about the environment and their equipment.
