Townlec Auto Electrical
Burdekin

Auto electrician for Ayr and the Burdekin.

Ayr sits about an hour south of Townsville, at the centre of the Burdekin — cane, irrigated horticulture, and the trucks and machinery that keep both moving. Auto electrical, batteries, ECU work and heavy machinery for the district are run out of the Townsville workshop. Ring us with the vehicle and the fault.

In the Burdekin

Machinery and trucks, out in the district.

The work

Electrical work around the Burdekin.

Agricultural electrical

Cane farming, harvesting and ag machinery — wiring, ECU faults, AC repairs and GPS guidance interfaces.

Heavy machinery & trucks

Sugar industry haulage and contractors — prime mover electrical, 24V charging and starting faults, and fleet diagnostics.

Batteries for ag and fleet

Truck and ag batteries can be delivered and fitted on-property where the job suits it — easier than dragging a tractor back to town. Call to arrange it.

Boats on the Burdekin coast

Alva Beach, Cungulla and the creek mouths — trailer boat wiring, nav lights, dual battery and sounder installs, in marine-grade cable that holds up in salt air.

ECU work and remapping

Diesel remapping and tuning for utes, trucks and ag machinery, and ECU fault diagnosis for the machine that runs rough rather than the one that will not start.

On the ground

Ayr in our words.

The Burdekin runs to a season. Once the crush is on, a harvester or a haulout with a wiring fault is not just a repair, it is a paddock that does not get cut that day — which is the argument for looking at the electrics before the season rather than during it. The quieter months are when ECU work and dual-battery touring setups get done, and both usually come back to a deep cycle or lithium battery in Ayr and the charging to suit it.

Common questions

Ayr questions, answered.

Do you have a workshop in Ayr?
No. The workshop is at 448 Woolcock St, Garbutt in Townsville, and the Burdekin is part of the area it covers. Ring us with the vehicle and the fault and we will work out the best way to do the job.
How far is Ayr from the Townsville workshop?
About 90km down the Bruce Highway, near enough to an hour each way. Home Hill is a few minutes further on, across the Burdekin River.
Can machinery be looked at on the farm?
Some work suits being done on the property and some needs the machine where the diagnostic gear is. It depends on the fault, the machine, and what else is running that week. Tell us what it is and we will work out which way round makes sense.
Do you work on cane harvesters and haulouts?
Yes — harvester and haulout wiring, ECU faults, 24-volt charging and starting problems, and the intermittent faults that only show themselves under load. Prime movers and fleet trucks are the same trade.
Can you sort a battery for a tractor or a truck?
Yes. Truck, tractor and deep cycle batteries, and the battery is tested along with the charging system before anything is replaced — a flat battery is often the symptom rather than the fault.
Do you do boat wiring for Alva Beach and Cungulla?
Yes. Boat electrical work is run out of the Townsville workshop — trailer boat wiring, nav lights, dual battery systems, sounders and plotters, in marine-grade tinned cable with sealed connections. Tell us where the boat is and what it needs.
