The technician inspects the machine and diagnoses faults using mobile diagnostic gear. Checks include hydraulic hoses, engines and general safety items.
DURING THE VISIT
Scheduled maintenance, fluid and filter changes, hydraulic system checks and safety inspections are all part of the service. Urgent breakdown repairs are handled on the spot where the fault allows.
AFTER THE VISIT
Service sheets, photos and recommendations are sent within 24 hours of completion. We can also set up fleet maintenance programs to keep your equipment in good condition over the long term.
Local servicing
Wollongong worksites run on tight timelines, and a machine that is off the job costs money every hour. Our mobile team arrives with what is needed to inspect, diagnose and repair heavy machinery on site, so there is no towing and no waiting on a workshop booking. We work on loaders, graders, excavators, tippers and rollers, and we adapt our approach to each setup and site condition.
Local jobs range from civil crews building out the new release areas around West Dapto to transport yards near Port Kembla and council depots that keep fleet moving. Our depot is in Bellambi, so most Wollongong sites are close to base.
Wollongong sits on a narrow coastal strip about 85 kilometres south of Sydney, with the Royal National Park to the north, Lake Illawarra to the south, the Tasman Sea to the east and the Illawarra Escarpment to the west. The city is home to the port and steelworks at Port Kembla, which keep transport, heavy industry and supporting contractors busy across the area.
That mix of industrial land, new release housing areas such as West Dapto and steep escarpment roads means machinery is spread across very different sites. Machines working in dusty conditions or on heavy duty tasks such as hammering often need servicing sooner than the standard interval, so it is worth checking your schedule against how the machine is actually used.

There is no single answer, because the interval comes from the manufacturer’s manual for your machine and changes with how hard the machine works. Many machines are serviced every 250 to 500 operating hours, and dusty conditions or heavy duty work such as hammering can shorten that. We can work to your machine’s schedule and recommend a shorter interval where the conditions call for it.
It depends on the brand and model. Depending on the manufacturer, the first fluid and filter services commonly fall at 250 or 500 operating hours, with larger services at 1,000 and 2,000 hours. Check the operator’s manual for your machine, and we can service to that schedule on site.
Hydraulic oil intervals depend on the manufacturer and on oil sample results. Some manufacturers publish about 2,000 hours for a full oil change, while filters and breathers are changed more often. Hammer work and dust can shorten those intervals, and oil sampling from around 250 to 500 hours can give early warning of contamination.
Repair usually starts with inspecting the machine and diagnosing the fault, followed by repairing or replacing the failed part and testing the result. Our mobile units carry the tools and parts for mechanical repairs, hydraulic hoses, engine diagnostics and safety checks, and we send service sheets, photos and recommendations within 24 hours of completion.
In construction, plant generally refers to larger machines such as excavators, loaders, graders and rollers, while equipment usually means the smaller tools and gear used on a job. The two terms overlap in everyday use, and both need regular servicing to stay safe and reliable.
A typical checklist covers engine oil and filter, air filter, fuel and water separator, hydraulic system inspection, grease points, coolant, tracks and undercarriage, and hoses and leaks. The exact list depends on your machine’s manual and the service interval being carried out.
The cost depends on the size and age of the machine, its operating hours and the scope of work, so a fixed figure would be misleading. For non urgent work we aim to return a scoped quote by the next business day. Call (02) 4285 5297 or send the machine details through our contact page.
We service loaders, graders, excavators, tippers and rollers, along with fleet vehicles and other plant used in construction, civil, transport and mining work. Our mobile units carry parts and tools to handle most jobs in a single attendance.
Yes. Wilsons Plant is based in Bellambi and sends mobile technicians to sites across Wollongong. We come to the machine, so you do not need to arrange transport to a workshop. Call (02) 4285 5297 to book, including 24/7 emergency callouts.
Mini excavators follow the same approach as larger machines, with intervals set by the manufacturer. Filters are commonly replaced at 250 to 500 hours, and the hydraulic system is inspected at around 1,000 to 2,000 hours. Check the manual for your model, and we can service it on site.
Call (02) 4285 5297 or use the contact page and we will confirm what your machine needs and when we can be on site.
