Products & Services Directory

Our story began at the end of October 2019, when the company SPM Special Machine Srl was established.

Its business activity is carried out in the industrial site of via Padana Superiore 38 Inzago (Milan), in a structure divided into production, storage and logistics areas, design and administration offices.

The main purpose of the company is to position itself among the manufacturers of the market with highly engineered products in the field of mobile electro-fluidic power systems, so as to resume what has been the tradition of Italian excellence in an electromechanical sector that had its peak between the 80s and 90s. Excellence that, unfortunately, has been dissolute or absorbed by large foreign multinational companies.

Find out more about the company history: read on or contact us. SPM Special Machine is active throughout the country, offering cutting-edge electromechanical solutions.

Since 1959 St Clare Engineering Ltd has manufactured a range of Fork Truck Attachments under the Grab-O-Matic trade name, and since 1979 a small Medical Division manufacturing and supplying Knee Braces.

The majority of the Fork Truck Attachments deal with the lifting, moving and tilting drums of steel, plastic or fibre-board construction and of varying shapes, sizes and weights. Exporting more than 45% of production to all parts of the world, St Clare are considered one of the world leaders in drum handling with their Grab-O-Matic range of attachments. In recent times the product range has been extended to include Self Dumping Hoppers, Stacker Trucks, Work Platforms, Sweepers, Pedestrian Drum Trolleys and Reel Turning Units, Snow Ploughs and Towable Salt Spreaders. We also manufacture special items to customer requirements, all that is required is a sketch or verbal description of the problem to produce a firm price and delivery.

Safety and Quality

All items are robustly constructed and can be fitted to most Fork Trucks in seconds without the need for Electric or Hydraulic connections. Safety issues are paramount when designing, manufacturing and using fork lift truck attachments, with this in mind all our attachments carry the CE mark, are issued with a certificate of conformity and full operational instructions. All frames and pillars are made from 6-12mm steel. To compound our policy on quality, the attachments are manufactured in the UK to ISO 9001:2015 and issued with Test Certificates to confirm Safe Working Loads, providing you with assurance and peace of mind.

Maintenance and Servicing

Grab-O-Matic handling aids are manufactured entirely in the UK by precision engineers, backed up by 100% inspection. Because of the high degree of engineering and careful choice of materials and treatments used, Grab-O-Matic units are virtually maintenance free and only require occasional oiling. A full after-sales and back up service is available with all Grab-O-Matics, repairs are carried out quickly and efficiently on all equipment to minimise operational downtime.
