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.

Watch this short video to hear me explain what that means at Kingy’s Diesel:

Although Father’s Day was celebrated this past Sunday, it serves as a timely reminder of something worth recognizing every day of the year.

The families behind the people who keep businesses moving.

Behind the early starts, long days, time on the road and late finishes, there’s often a family at home making it all possible.

Partners, wives, husbands, mums, dads and kids all play their part. Supporting from the sidelines, keeping things running at home and making sacrifices that often go unseen.

Running a business takes a team.

And that team extends well beyond the job site, workshop or office.

So, a couple of days on from Father’s Day, Kingy’s Diesel would like to recognise the incredible families behind small businesses who help keep everything moving.

At Kingy's Diesel Industries, we believe if we commit to a completion date, we should be accountable for delivering on it.

So we back approved and scheduled work with our Zero Downtime Guarantee.

If your job isn’t completed on or before the agreed completion date due to factors within our control, we’ll automatically issue you:

$500 in Service Credits for every eligible working day of delay.

No claim forms. No chasing us up.

The credits can then be used toward future servicing, repairs or inspections.*

For your business, that means:

✅ Greater certainty around maintenance and repair schedules

✅ Less unnecessary downtime across your fleet

✅ More accountability from your service provider

✅ Faster return-to-service for critical assets

✅ Service Credits if we fail to meet our commitment

Put simply, we don’t just give you a completion date.

We put something behind it.

Technology Solved.

If you manage heavy vehicles or plant, you know the hardest part isn't the work. It’s the endless compliance paperwork. Miss a deadline, and you're facing downtime, audit failures, or very heavy fines.

To fix this, we built a custom application from the ground up to make it dead simple.

It's called ComplianceIQ.

And it's free to use.

It's the perfect tool for keeping your fleet audit-ready in seconds.

What you get in under a minute per asset:

✅ Compliance Health Score (0–100)

Know instantly if gear is compliant, on caution, or needs grounding.

✅ Smart Tracking

Keep inspections, registrations and servicing information in one spot.

✅ Prioritised Action Plan

Clear recommendations, estimated penalty risks, draft scopes of work and costs.

How it works:

1. Sign up free (takes 60 seconds, no credit card required).

2. Add your assets (trucks, cranes, EWPs, earthmoving and more).

3. Get your instant report and action plan. Print, export or come back to it later.

If a report flags an issue, you can book a free, no-obligation pre-inspection with our qualified diesel mechanics directly through the app.

A major civil infrastructure client had a serious problem.

Their 25-tonne mobile crane was due for its mandatory 10-Year Major Inspection, but taking it offline risked tens of thousands of dollars in lost productivity every day.

The difference was capacity.

Kingy’s Diesel has over 200 man-hours of workshop capacity available every week.

That meant we could put a dedicated team of heavy diesel mechanics, hydraulic specialists and auto-electricians onto the crane immediately, rather than leaving it sitting in a queue.

Work commenced the next day after arrival on a full inspection and overhaul scope:

✅ Mechanical, structural and hydraulic overhaul

✅ Structural NDT testing

✅ Hydraulic reconditioning

✅ Third-party engineering and certification

✅ AS2550 / AS1418 compliance requirements

And because our capacity extends beyond the workshop, we supplied replacement plant from our fleet while the crane was being overhauled.

The result: 0 hours of site downtime.

The client kept operating while we fast-tracked the inspection in the background.

If you have a Major Inspection or heavy repair coming up, workshop capacity matters.

Our 200+ man-hours per week mean more hands on your machine, faster turnaround and less disruption to your operation.
