Big gear in the pits around Singleton
Open-cut mining runs on haul trucks, dozers, excavators and water carts, backed by service trucks, light vehicles and crew buses. When a cab's AC fails on a hot day, the machine often ends up parked until it's fixed, and a hot cab is a safety problem as much as a comfort one.
We work on machines from 1.7 t to 800 t, from compact plant in a contractor's yard to the largest gear in the pit. Compressors, condensers, evaporators, receiver driers, TX valves, system flushes, vacuum and regas are all part of the job.
Contractor yards at Mount Thorley, McDougalls Hill and Maison Dieu
A lot of the valley's mining services work runs out of the industrial areas around Singleton. The contractors there keep fleets of service trucks, fuel and lube trucks and light vehicles that spend all day on mine roads.
Corrugations and dust are hard on wiring. We track down the intermittent faults that come from rubbed looms and loose earths, and when a loom keeps failing we can build a braided harness to replace it instead of adding more conduit.
Getting on site, and working around shutdowns
Every mine has its own access rules. Get us the site's induction details early and we'll work through what's needed before the visit, not on the day.
Shutdowns and weekends are often the only windows when a machine can come out of service. We do weekend work by arrangement, so planned electrical and AC jobs can happen while the machine isn't needed.
Highway fleets and dealer support
Trucks running the New England and Golden highways out of Singleton clock up the kind of hours that wear out compressors and charging systems. We service them in your yard between runs.
Equipment dealers and manufacturers also call us when they need a tech on the ground for breakdowns on machines they've supplied. We work to their instructions and keep them in the loop.
