Why trucks need a specialist
Most heavy trucks and many buses run 24 V systems, and their wiring, charging and lighting are built for long hours and heavy loads. A heavy vehicle auto electrician will have the diagnostic tools, cabling and parts to suit, along with experience tracing faults through trailer connections, ABS and EBS systems, tail lifts and body electrics.
Workshop or depot visit
Big repairs often need a workshop with heavy vehicle access and room to park a prime mover and trailer. Many truck auto electricians also work on site at depots, which suits fleets that cannot spare vehicles for long. Ask which option suits the job and whether they can work around your shift times.
Melbourne’s freight hubs
Melbourne is a major freight city, with the port, rail terminals and big warehouse precincts in the west around Laverton, Truganina and Derrimut, plus industrial areas in the north and south-east around Campbellfield and Dandenong. Trucks running the Hume to Sydney, the Princes Freeway to Geelong or the Western Freeway to Adelaide rack up kilometres quickly, and electrical faults can put a vehicle off the road at the worst time.
When you call, have the vehicle make, model and rego handy, along with any fault codes and a short description of what happens. For fleets, a list of vehicles and the work needed on each helps the electrician plan parts and labour.
- Trucks and prime movers
- Buses and coaches
- Forklifts, earthmoving and farm machinery on the city fringe
- Fleet utes and vans
Keeping a fleet ahead of faults
Regular electrical checks catch many problems before they cause a breakdown. Batteries, alternators and starter motors on trucks work hard, especially on vehicles doing lots of stop-start delivery runs through the inner suburbs. Trailer plugs and suzi coils take a beating from constant coupling and uncoupling. Ask whether the electrician can inspect these items during scheduled servicing, and keep a record of what is found so recurring faults on the same vehicle are easier to spot. Accessories such as beacons, cameras, two-way radios and telematics units can also be fitted or relocated while the vehicle is already in.
