Exact Diesel & Mechanical repairs and services forestry machinery in Albany and across the Great Southern. We're a mobile diesel mechanic, so we come out to the coupe, landing or yard and work on the machine where it stands. We look after forestry machines and the trucks and trailers that carry the logs, from scheduled servicing to on-site repairs. We're locally owned and a licensed repairer (MRB13038), covering Albany, Denmark, Walpole, the Great Southern, Lake Grace and Esperance.
Forestry machines work a long way from a workshop
Forestry work happens a long way from town, on rough tracks and in tight country. When a machine stops out there, getting it to a workshop is slow and expensive, and the crew and the rest of the operation can end up waiting on one machine.
That's why we bring the workshop to you. As a mobile diesel mechanic, we travel out to where the machine is, find the fault and fix it on site wherever we can. If a repair can't be done in the bush, we'll tell you straight away what it needs and what your options are, so you can keep the operation moving.
Forestry equipment we work on
Forestry machines
Repairs and servicing for the machines working in the coupe and on the landing.
Log trucks
Repairs and servicing for the trucks carting logs out of the bush, including brakes, air brakes and electrical faults. See Truck Repairs & Servicing.
Log trailers
Trailer brake, electrical and other trailer repairs for log trailers. See Trailer Repairs.
Support machinery
Many forestry jobs also run earthmoving machines for tracks and landings. We work on those too. See Earthmoving Repairs & Servicing.
Forestry machinery repairs
Forestry machines work hard in dust, mud and heat, and faults tend to show up at the worst time. Common repairs we handle on site include:
- Engine faults: loss of power, hard starting, no start, smoke and warning lights.
- Diagnostics: fault codes read on site so we know what's wrong before we start pulling things apart.
- Cooling system repairs: overheating, hoses and radiator leaks. Bark, dust and debris can block cooling systems quickly in the bush.
- Electrical faults: batteries, starter motors, alternators and wiring. See Auto Electrical.
- Cab air conditioning: operators spend long days in the cab, so working air con matters. See Air Conditioning Repairs.
- Hydraulic repairs: burst hoses, leaking fittings and hydraulic faults. Hydraulics do most of the work on a forestry machine, so they take a beating.
Forestry machinery servicing
Long shifts and harsh conditions mean forestry machines need servicing on time, every time. Missed services lead to breakdowns, and breakdowns in the bush cost more than most. We service forestry machinery on site, so the machine doesn't have to come out of the coupe.
Servicing includes:
- Engine oil and filter changes
- Air, fuel and cabin filter replacement
- Fluid checks and top-ups
- Belt, hose and cooling system checks, including cleaning out debris
- A look over the machine for wear and early warning signs, with a plain report on anything that needs attention
Fleet maintenance for forestry operations
Our Fleet Maintenance service keeps forestry fleets serviced on a schedule: the machines in the bush and the trucks and trailers on the road. One mechanic looking after the whole operation means services aren't missed and small problems are caught before they stop the job.
