Machines stop. That is when we start.

What we work on

Mining, agricultural and heavy vehicle machinery

Three kinds of machine, one trade. Diesel engines, hydraulics and drivelines do not change much between a haul truck, a header and a prime mover.

  • Mining plant and heavy diesel

    Mobile plant and earthmoving equipment maintained to keep it in the cut. Scheduled servicing, breakdown response and component work on the machines that move the Bowen Basin.

    • Excavators and diggers
    • Dozers and graders
    • Haul trucks and loaders
    • Gensets and lighting plant
    • Water carts and service trucks
  • Agricultural machinery

    Station and property gear kept going through sowing, spraying and harvest. We work to the calendar the paddock sets, not the other way around.

    • Tractors and loaders
    • Headers and harvesters
    • Spray rigs and spreaders
    • Balers and implements
    • Pumps and irrigation plant
  • Trucks and heavy vehicles

    Road registered gear serviced, inspected and repaired so it stays legal and stays earning. Fleet servicing or a one off, same standard.

    • Prime movers and rigids
    • Tippers and trailers
    • Floats and low loaders
    • Brakes, suspension and driveline
    • Pre start and condition inspections

Services

Heavy diesel servicing, breakdown and repair

Planned work keeps a machine earning. Unplanned work is what we do at 4am. We are set up for both.

  • Scheduled servicing

    Preventative maintenance to the manufacturer interval or to your own schedule. Oils, filters, greasing, adjustments and a written report on what we found.

    250 / 500 / 1000 / 2000 hr
  • Breakdown response and field callouts

    A machine down is a machine costing money. We load the service truck, come to where it sits and fix it there wherever fixing it there is possible.

    Mobile field callout
  • Diagnostics, fault finding and auto electrical

    Engine, electrical and control faults traced properly before parts get thrown at them. Fault codes read, circuits tested, cause confirmed.

    Engine / electrical / ECM
  • Hydraulics, pneumatics and hose repairs

    Leaks, losses and slow circuits sorted. Cylinder reseals and repairs, pump and valve work, and hydraulic hoses made up to suit.

    Hoses made on site
  • Component change out and rebuild

    The heavy end of the work. Engines, transmissions, final drives, diffs and pumps removed, replaced or rebuilt in the workshop.

    Workshop, under cover
  • Welding and fabrication

    Repairs, brackets, guarding and wear plate. If the part that broke is not worth buying new, it usually gets made.

    Repair and modification
  • Pre start and condition inspections

    Plant and heavy vehicle condition inspections, pre start checks and the reports that go with them, so faults get found before they stop the job.

Two ways we work

Clermont workshop and mobile field service

Some jobs need a clean floor, a press and a hoist. Some jobs need a fitter standing in the dirt next to the machine within the hour. Machines are not fussy about which, but they are fussy about when.

In the workshop

Clermont workshop

Under cover and the right place for the heavy end of the work. Bring it in, or we will arrange to get it in.

  • Component rebuilds and change outs
  • Press, hoist and workshop tooling
  • Controlled conditions for precision work
  • Longer jobs off your yard and out of the weather

In the field

Mobile field service

The service truck carries the tools, the oils and the common wear parts, so most jobs are finished in one trip.

  • Breakdown callouts across the region
  • Scheduled servicing without moving the machine
  • Hydraulic hoses made up on the spot
  • Site access and inductions sorted before we roll

Handy to have ready

  • Machine make, model and serial
  • Current hour or SMU reading
  • What it was doing when it stopped
  • Any fault codes showing on the dash
  • Where it is sitting and how we get to it

Do not have all of it? Send what you have. We have diagnosed plenty from a blurry photo, half a serial number and someone doing their best impression of the noise.
