Rigged In The U.S.A. Many features and benefits not found on standard hoists, make our products the safest on the market.

My name is Rich Miller, Operations Manager of Garrick USA, a distributor of industrial quality metal cutting, forming, shaping and grinding equipment manufactured in New Zealand under the Bramley and Linishall brands. We have focused on offering a range that is functional, long-lasting, and offers an excellent value.

Myles Herbert (owner) a longtime friend of the Australians who engineered the OZ Hoists is doing business out of OZ Lifting Products warehouse. You can expect the same level of customer service, shipping times, and overall satisfaction that you have been experiencing from OZ. We are going to be aggressively pursuing new distributors and will protect them much in the same way OZ Lifting Products does, getting on board early will be a factor in this effort.

Our origins date back to 1921 when Richard Bramley established an engineering company in Auckland, New Zealand. Philip Herbert bought the company in 1954 and commenced production of small engineering machine tools under the Bramley brand. Bramley has been supporting New Zealand industry for over 80 years, specializing in repair or replacement parts, general jobbing work and full component production for manufacturers using state-of-the-art CNC machinery which ensures quality throughout our entire range of products.

Is Outsourcing R&D Hurting U.S. Manufacturing?

Most analysts believe that the future of the manufacturing sector in the U.S. is integrally tied to maintaining our historical lead in high technology. In recent years, however, the ability of our research ecosystem to sustain a leading global position has come into question, especially as new competitors emerge, such as China, which churns out huge numbers of new scientists and engineers and increases its research and development (R&D) expenditures at a 20% annual rate. Adding to the concerns is a perception that American firms are outsourcing so much R&D that it will only add to the erosion of high technology industries. The latest National Science Foundation Science and Engineering Indicators shed some new light on the debate about outsourcing. But before turning to the raw data, I want to make a slight detour into anecdote.

While speaking a few months ago to the Chief Technology Officer of a highly diversified Fortune 500 manufacturer, I asked if he was able to fill all the science and engineering jobs required at his growing company. I can fill the jobs, he said, and most of the talent coming out of the U.S. schools consists of people skilled in basic science and mathematics, but with little experience or interest in actually making things. When I was a kid, he reported, I loved to take apart the latest radio or gadget to see how it worked and how the parts fit together. Most of my generation of engineers started with this basic interest, but the current generation didn't have this motivation, and they aren't very good at trouble shooting on the factory floor when a new product design doesn't quite work or there are problems with systems integration.
