Frequently asked questions

Under Australian law, a heavy vehicle is a vehicle with 4.5 tones of gross vehicle mass or aggregate trailer mass. The gross mass is the heaviest a vehicle is allowed to weigh when it’s been fully loaded, as per the manufacturer’s specifications. This is the standard set by the Heavy Vehicle National Law.

Some examples are semi trucks, freight trucks, buses, vehicle carriers, tractors, mobile cranes, livestock vehicles, agricultural vehicles and road trains.

Any heavy vehicles that use the public roads have to comply with the standards laid out by Heavy Vehicle National Law. There is an annual inspection required that looks at the vehicles point by point to determine their road safety and performance.

We use the National Heavy Vehicle Inspection Manual (NHVIM) to guide our road safety inspections. After the inspection, we can issue roadworthy certificates and other safety certificates.

We have a staff of 4 qualified diesel mechanics and 2 apprentices. Our staff are all trained and qualified mechanics with years of experience working on a variety of heavy vehicles.

Our mechanics also work rotations on the mobile emergency breakdown team. Even when you need emergency service, you’re going to get a qualified diesel mechanic from our workshop to work on your vehicles.
