When the line stops, minutes cost money
Conveyor snapped a belt. Gearbox screaming. Pump seized, drive misaligned, hydraulics down. Mobile Automation provides rapid-response mechanical breakdown support across Melbourne and Victoria — service vehicles stocked with tools and common spares, technicians who work on production equipment every day, and a workshop behind them for machining, overhauls and fabrication.
What we fix
- Conveyors and material handling — belts, rollers, chains, drives, tracking and alignment
- Gearboxes and drives — repairs, overhauls, replacements and alignment
- Pumps, mixers and process equipment — seals, impellers, bearings, couplings
- Hydraulics and pneumatics — cylinders, valves, hoses, power packs
- Presses and production machinery — mechanical repair with controls fault-finding in the same visit
The two-trades advantage on breakdowns
Half of "mechanical" breakdowns turn out to be electrical, and vice versa — a tripping drive, a sensor knocked out of position, a motor cooking under a seized bearing. Our breakdown crews cover both trades, so the first truck on site can usually finish the job instead of diagnosing it and calling someone else. That is the practical value of a single contractor across both trades.
Stop breaking down: preventative programs
The cheapest breakdown is the one that never happens. We build preventative maintenance programs around your critical equipment — wear-point inspections, lubrication schedules, condition monitoring, critical spares planning — scheduled in low-impact windows and adjusted from what your breakdown history actually shows.
Frequently asked questions
Do you offer 24/7 mechanical breakdown response?
Yes — 24/7 coverage is available for approved customers and by arrangement, with both mechanical and electrical capability on call across Melbourne and Victoria.
Can you machine or fabricate replacement parts?
Yes — our workshop handles machining, fabrication and overhauls, which matters when the OEM part is six weeks away and production can't wait.
What information helps when we call?
Machine make/model, what it was doing when it stopped, any noises/leaks/smells, and photos if safe. We'll triage on the phone and roll the right vehicle.
Can you set up a preventative maintenance program?
Yes — we build PM programs around your critical equipment and breakdown history, combining mechanical and electrical inspections in single site visits.
