Truck yards on the Pacific Highway at Hexham
Prime movers, rigids and tippers come and go from Hexham all day, and the yards along the highway exist to keep them moving. A truck with no aircon or an electrical fault is a truck that isn't earning.
We come to the yard and work on the truck where it's parked. Regas, compressor and condenser replacements, charging faults, lighting and trailer plug problems can all be sorted on site.
Trailers get the same attention as prime movers. Constant coupling wears out plugs and sockets, and road spray works its way into lighting connectors, so we check the trailer side while we're in the yard.
Tomago's industrial area, across the river
Across the Hunter, Tomago's industrial area mixes heavy industry and manufacturing with transport and maintenance contractors. Their fleets combine trucks, utes and site machinery, often working in heat and dust.
We handle the AC and the electrical side in one visit, so you're not booking one contractor for the aircon and another for the wiring. Site machinery with cab AC, from loaders to excavators, gets the same treatment as the trucks.
Intermittent faults on hard-working trucks
Heavy vehicles that run long hours out of Hexham develop the faults that come and go: lights that drop out, a gauge that flickers, a starter that only plays up when it's hot. They're hard to pin down and easy to misdiagnose.
We test the circuit properly rather than throwing parts at it. If one of these is driving you mad, our article on intermittent electrical faults is worth a read, and our auto electrical page covers the rest of what we fix.
Heatherbrae and the road north
Heatherbrae sits just up the Pacific Highway from Tomago, with more transport and trade yards along the road. We cover those as well, along with the rest of Port Stephens.
Trucks that run south through Sandgate to the port are covered right through Newcastle too. One call covers your yards on both sides of the river.
