William Adams supplies new, used and rental Caterpillar® equipment and is headquartered in Clayton. Stellmann Aqualine PU PRO in Light Grey has upgraded the training facilities where customers can get certified to with virtual reality simulators as well as the real trucks, excavators, etc., featuring anti slip epoxy flooring for enhanced safety.
Caterpillar, Inc. is a global corporation specializing in the production of construction, mining, and agricultural equipment. Williams Adams serves as Caterpillar's authorized dealer in Victoria, offering sales, rental, parts, and service support for Caterpillar machinery and engines across various industries such as construction, agriculture, forestry, and mining. Additionally, they provide financing and technology solutions to meet their customers' needs.
In their new training facility, where customer use with virtual reality simulators and real equipment, Williams Adams sought to enhance the concrete floors with a durable Light Grey coating that would also be slip-resistant to protect customers from potential water and oil spills. Stellmann Non-Slip Coatings offers a range of industrial anti slip floor coating products, including different types such as polyurethanes, which are industry-standard materials for flooring systems in demanding environments like large retail food outlets and industrial spaces. The product can be applied quickly and easily, with no technical difficulty, making it a fast and efficient solution for both DIY and professional installers. The installation process is straightforward, with clear steps: surface preparation, priming, application of the anti slip coating, and curing. This step-by-step way ensures that clients are guided through each stage for successful results. The coating can be installed efficiently in industrial environments, ensuring minimal downtime. The use of high-quality materials and professional work ensures durability, safety, and compliance with industry standards, while also providing excellent adhesion to metal surfaces, such as the previously installed metal rails in the facility. This approach guarantees that the finished work delivers long-lasting safety and durability for all users.
To preparation of the concrete surface included a grind as the floor had been exposed to oils and other contaminants. This not only removed stains and contaminants but also facilitated excellent adhesion of the first "prime layer" of the Stellmann Aqualine PU PRO Application. Unlike epoxy coatings and other concrete floor coatings, Stellmann Aqualine PU PRO does not need a separate primer application. Instead, the initial layer of the VOC-free coating is diluted with water to deeply penetrate the concrete, providing a strong foundation for both large and small jobs, including personal garages, small offices, and other compact spaces.
Following the drying of the first layer, the second "finish coat" is applied. To achieve the desired non-slip finish, Stellmann Non-Slip Particles are incorporated into the mixture of Part A and Part B. This is especially important for slippery surfaces in environments like commercial kitchens and garages, where slip resistance and safety are critical for both residential and business clients. Thanks to the excellent pot-life of Aqualine PU PRO (2 to 4 hours) and its exceptional rollability, the particles can be evenly distributed without clustering or leaving areas without particles, as is common with other coating systems. Stellmann's solutions are tailored for businesses, including supermarkets and builders, focusing on safety, durability, and industry-specific needs.
Another advantage over epoxy coatings is the UV resistance of Stellmann Aqualine PU PRO. The premium-quality coating remains unaffected by sunlight, avoiding issues such as yellowing or cracking that are common with non-UV-resistant epoxy coatings. Given that the training facility doors are frequently open during the day, Williams Adams opted for a coating system proven to withstand the harsh Australian sun. Of course, the coating also required to be suitable for traffic of heavy equipment, forklifts, etc. Stellmann coatings can be customized to suit different surfaces and environments, ensuring the right solution for kitchens, garages, commercial spaces, and more. Each job is completed with a focus on quality and expertise, delivering reliable results every time.
