Heavy Equipment Air Conditioning for Harsh WA Conditions

The heat in the Pilbara is extreme and once an air-conditioning unit fails, the machine will become non-operational. Due to the increased ambient temperatures placed on a machines air-con system in the summer, the increased system pressure and the high operator demand can expose a weak link, whether it be a failing hose or a component not operating as intended.

Other environmental stresses, especially dust and vibration can also induce air-con downtime.

There is a wide range of different systems between manufacturers and some have not been designed with the harsh Australian conditions in mind. Allplant has extensive experience with the typical faults that different systems encounter, and this experience leads to a much quicker diagnosis and the right solution the first time.

Our air conditioning services include

  • Diagnosis and repair of auto air conditioning systems for heavy mining equipment
  • Air conditioning audits for mining fleets, including full parts cost breakdowns
  • Scheduled replacement planning to help minimise machine downtime
  • Rebuilds of existing air conditioning components
  • Fully equipped field service vehicles for on-site repairs and breakdowns

The extreme heat increases ambient and system pressure, and combined with high operator demand, this can expose weak links such as a failing hose or an underperforming component.The extreme heat increases ambient and system pressure, and combined with high operator demand, this can expose weak links such as a failing hose or an underperforming component.The extreme heat increases ambient and system pressure, and combined with high operator demand, this can expose weak links such as a failing hose or an underperforming component.

Dust and vibration are common environmental stresses that can also cause air conditioning downtime on mining and heavy equipment.

Yes. There is a wide range of systems between manufacturers, and we have extensive experience with systems not originally designed for harsh Australian conditions, leading to faster diagnosis and the right solution.

Yes, we conduct air conditioning audits for mining machinery fleets, including a full breakdown of parts costs and scheduled replacement to help minimise machine down time.

Both. Our experienced teams can rebuild existing components, and our fully equipped field service vehicles are designed to handle all types of auto air conditioning repairs and breakdowns.
