Frequently Asked Questions

  • What’s included in truck and machinery servicing?

    Servicing includes a full inspection and maintenance of all major systems—engine, brakes, hydraulics, cooling and electrical. Oil and filters are usually changed, wear points are checked, and faults are diagnosed. For earthmoving gear, this may also involve greasing, undercarriage checks and boom inspections. Logbook services are done according to manufacturer requirements to keep vehicles in warranty and working efficiently.

  • Can I get compliance inspections done on-site?

    Yes, mobile inspection stations like McLaren Engineering can carry out roadworthy or safety checks for trucks and machinery on-site, provided they are an Approved Inspection Station. These inspections ensure your equipment meets state requirements for operation. They’re particularly useful for fleet operators and rural businesses that can’t easily transport large vehicles to town.

  • How often should earthmoving equipment be serviced?

    Service intervals depend on usage and manufacturer recommendations, but a general rule is every 250–500 hours of operation. Regular checks are crucial for identifying early signs of wear, especially on high-stress components like hydraulic arms, pins and undercarriages. Harsh operating environments may require more frequent maintenance to avoid unexpected breakdowns.
