A third generation business (if you count Maddison who is 2 and has everyone wrapped around her little finger) with pumps our specialty, collectively there is close to 100 years of experience in the pumping, mining and other associated product areas of the business.

Owner Bill Robson, his wife and three children (plus a few others) together service these industries from the 7.5 acre site in Richlands in Brisbane. This has helped Austral Pumps/ M&Q Equipment become one of the largest suppliers of new, used and rebuilt pumps, and mining & quarrying equipment in the world. Integrity is the word within the business, we do what we say we will, every time without fail, that’s in our DNA.

We have a huge range of new Austral pumps of all models in stock and our facilities are set up to fully service the industry we are in, we can fully refurbish and rebuild pumps from our customers, giving them a new lease of life. Plus, we also rebuild and refurbish all types of Warman pumps and barrels from our on-site workshop and parts stores; plus other equipment we buy pre-resale, you can get a bit on a site the size of ours. A few years ago we moved to the current premises to cater for the ever growing requirement from our customers for stock holding and to house the blasting & paint areas, fab shop and workshop areas. We have other locations too, the company maintains an extensive inventory of equipment throughout the world to meet the demands of our customers. In addition to pumps and used & rebuilt equipment, we also design and build new crushing plants and equipment.

Stocks of a wide range of spare parts and crusher manganese are also held to service our local and global customer base. If you're starting up, or reopening, a mine or a quarry, or you're looking for equipment and plant for your existing operation, you should contact us immediately. We maintain a very extensive database of plant and equipment at very competitive prices, and if we haven't got what you want on hand, you can bet that we know where to get it for you.
