Geelong Workshop Maintenance Efficiency & Innovation Project
This project is designed to provide improvements and efficiencies in the maintenance of the trucking fleet. Having the ability to carry out in-house testing of brake systems, wheel alignments and free play checks of the suspension systems during regular servicing provides point of use diagnostics and rectification. This eliminates the need to send the trucks to Melbourne preventing lost time and unnecessary fuel usage. Additionally correct alignment of the wheels will further reduce fuel usage and tyre wear, both having positive impacts for the environment. This project also allows for the direct employment of one FTE which then allows scope for the employment of an Apprentice, providing the Geelong region with additional employment.
