Station utes and 4WDs

Dual batteries, DC-DC charging, fridge circuits, UHF and work lights on vehicles that cover long distances between properties and town.

Cattle trucks and road trains

24-volt charging and starting, trailer lighting and plugs, and the faults that only show up loaded, on prime movers running the Flinders Highway.

Mining and heavy machinery

Plant electrical — 24-volt charging and starting, isolators and interlocks, work lighting and beacons.

Batteries for trucks and 4WDs

Truck, tractor, 4WD and deep cycle batteries, tested along with the charging system before anything is replaced.

ECU remapping

Diesel remapping and tuning for utes, trucks and machinery as the Townsville agent for Diesel Tune — towing, economy and how the vehicle drives.

Services in Charters Towers

What we do for Charters Towers.

All of it is available to Charters Towers. The work is done at the Townsville workshop, so ring us with the vehicle and the fault and we will sort out how best to get it done.

On the ground

Charters Towers in our words.

Out here the distance is the problem. A fault that would be a short tow in town is a long day when the vehicle is a couple of hours from anywhere, which is the argument for having the auto electrical side of a work ute looked at before a long run rather than after it. The same goes for a battery replacement in Charters Towers: test the charging system as well, because a new battery on a tired alternator goes flat just as fast. And for towing, ECU remapping is worth a conversation.

Common questions

Charters Towers questions, answered.

Do you have a workshop in Charters Towers?
No. The workshop is at 448 Woolcock St, Garbutt in Townsville, and Charters Towers 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 Charters Towers from the Townsville workshop?
About 136km along the Flinders Highway, roughly an hour and forty minutes each way.
Do you work on road trains and cattle trucks?
Yes. Prime movers and trailers — 24-volt charging and starting systems, trailer lighting and plugs, and intermittent faults that only appear under load.
Can station machinery be looked at on the property?
Sometimes. It comes down to the machine, the fault and the schedule — some jobs can be done where the machine is, others need the workshop. Tell us what you have and we will work it out with you.
Can you remap a ute that tows?
Yes. Townlec is the Townsville agent for Diesel Tune, and towing is one of the things a remap is set up for, alongside economy and drivability. Tell us the vehicle and what it pulls.
Can I get a battery for a truck or a 4WD?
Yes. Truck, tractor, 4WD and deep cycle batteries, and the battery is tested along with the charging system before anything is replaced.
