For All Coast Tyre Solutions, keeping their fleet moving is critical.

With eight service trucks on the road and plenty of heavy machinery activity, a breakdown can quickly become a major problem.

That’s why John O’Leary has relied on Matt and the Kingy’s Diesel team for around six years.

“If we have a breakdown, I can call him to come fix the problem straight away, or help solve the problem for us.”

John says it’s not only the quality of the work that keeps them coming back. It’s the way Matt approaches the job.

“His work is excellent. His aim is to get it right. It’s not just about him or his business, it’s all about his clients, which is something that’s highly valuable.”

When a major client in Gladstone needed critical overhaul work on their heavy crane fleet, they had a choice.

Use local generalist fitters, or transport the machinery more than 500 km south to Kingy's Diesel Industries.

They chose Kingy's.

The Challenge -

The crane required complex major diagnostics and overhaul work, including:

• Heavy engine reconditioning

• High-pressure hydraulic repairs

• Safety and compliance certification

• Tight turnaround requirements

• Strict control over scope and budget

In a high-demand construction environment, every additional day of downtime matters.

The Kingy's Solution -

The crane was transported directly to our heavy workshop, where the job was planned before it even arrived.

Our team carried out a coordinated multi-fitter teardown, with access to dedicated heavy mechanical bays, overhead cranes, specialised tooling and in-house diagnostic equipment.

Engine work, hydraulic reconditioning and compliance requirements were all handled under one roof, reducing delays and eliminating the need to coordinate multiple subcontractors.

The Result -

✅ Ahead of schedule.

Completed with the full Gladstone transport window factored into the timeline.

✅ On budget.

Delivered to the quoted scope with zero unexpected variations.

✅ Zero rework.

The crane came off the float and went straight back into active site duty.

Distance is not a barrier when the right workshop and team are at the other end.

A growing Queensland heavy transport operator came to Kingy’s Diesel with a familiar problem. Their fleet was spending too much time reacting to breakdowns.

Service records were inconsistent. Defects weren’t being tracked centrally. Maintenance was happening when something went wrong, rather than before it became a problem.

So we started by assessing the fleet from the ground up.

Every truck, crane and piece of mobile plant went through a detailed inspection covering:

- Engine and drivetrain performance

- Hydraulic systems

- Brakes and safety-critical components

- Structural condition

- Crane systems and compliance requirements

From there, defects were prioritised by severity and the fleet was brought back to a known maintenance baseline.

Then we implemented our I.R.I.M. Protocol: Inspect | Repair | Inspect | Maintain.

Rather than waiting for the next breakdown, the fleet now follows a structured 12-week maintenance cycle:

✅ Inspect

Identify wear, defects and upcoming requirements early.

✅ Repair

Complete planned repairs during scheduled downtime.

✅ Inspect Again

Re-check completed work and identify any secondary issues.

✅ Maintain

Complete ongoing preventative servicing, inspections and annual maintenance requirements.

The result is a much more predictable maintenance operation.

If your trucks, cranes or mobile plant are still being maintained reactively, call (07) 5446• • • • or visit our website to discuss how I.R.I.M. could work across your fleet.

When a machine goes down, the cost rarely stops with the machine.

Operators can be left waiting. Other staff can be put on standby. Jobs slow down.

In this short video, I explain why getting machinery back up and running quickly has always been such a big part of how we operate.

After more than 20 years in the industry, I know that when something goes wrong, customers need more than a mechanic.

They need someone they can call, rely on and trust to get them moving again.
