Another unique machine back up and running!

Designed specifically to tackle the demands of steep mountain terrain, this machine was suffering from a loss of power. Our team got stuck into the troubleshooting, identified the issue and got it sorted within the day.

A successful result, a happy customer and, most importantly, minimal downtime getting them back to work.

No matter the machine, Ausdraulics has the tooling and knowledge to get your gear back up and running fast.

When one of our customers experienced a catastrophic failure on a critical excavator with no OEM parts available, the clock was ticking.

Our team rebuilt the entire cylinder, retaining only the clevises, and had it ready in under a week. We then went the extra mile, hand delivering it to site, 300km away.

At Ausdraulics, we understand the impact downtime has on your operations. That’s why we do whatever it takes to get you back up and running, from the workshop to the worksite.

Flying the flag - literally.

You'll have spotted it on the way into town: a very large Tadano flag now flying off a 10-tonne crane out the front of our yard, facing the highway.

It's a fitting mount. That crane has done its years of work, and it's now holding up the flag for the brand we're proud to represent as your North Queensland Tadano dealer - sales, service, parts and support for truck-mounted and rough terrain cranes.

If you're running a Tadano in the region, or looking at your next one, come and see us at 39 Carroll St, Mount Louisa, or give us a call on 07 4774 6355.

Give us a wave on the way past.👋

This week's arrivals: one Deutz compressor that drank something it shouldnt have, and a multityre roller getting a full hydraulic strip and flush after a catastrophic failure.

The dome's booked out for a few weeks - but we'll always find a spot for a good machine in a bad way

The new shed is already filled!

Our new outdoor dome is up and running, and it didn't take long to fill!

With the shed at max capacity, this gives us the extra room we've been needing for our equipment maintenance team.

A compacted floor, plus shipping containers fitted out as dedicated workspaces are in progress means more jobs on the go at once and better turnaround for our customers. Especially handy with the bigger machines!

A big boost to what we can take on. Watch this space!

In the workshop for one of our valued clients.

This 8.5-tonne excavator is currently undergoing a boom cylinder and bucket swivel overhaul. Stripped, inspected, and being rebuilt to get it back to full operation.

Remote work. Real risks. Zero room for downtime.

When the nearest parts supplier is hours away, every component in your lubrication system matters.

We’ve just completed a week-long full centralised grease system audit and service for a remote site client during their planned shutdown.

Everything was covered - pump units, lines, injectors, and metering valves. All inspected, cleaned, and returned to service.

Out here, small issues don’t stay small for long. A neglected l**e system won’t give you a warning, your bearings will.

And when production is online, the last thing you want is a bearing telling you it’s had enough.

Ausdraulics - keeping operations running where it matters most.
