Pirtek required a standardised canopy solution for its national mobile service fleet, covering both medium rigid service trucks and ute based service vehicles. The canopies had to support hose pressing, crimping, and fluid transfer work while maintaining safety, accessibility, and consistent operator ergonomics across branches.
The goal was to create layouts that would work reliably in demanding field conditions, simplify training for operators moving between vehicles, and support a scalable, maintainable fleet.
Allweld designed modular service canopies tailored specifically to Pirtek’s workflows, with common sub assemblies used across both medium rigid trucks and ute service vehicles. The internal layouts were built around hose pressing, crimping equipment, fluid transfer systems, storage, and consumables, ensuring everything had a logical and safe place.
Canopies were fabricated as robust, corrosion resistant structures integrated into the vehicle chassis or body, with engineered load distribution and certified mounting points for equipment such as hose presses, generators, compressors, and storage systems.
Allweld provided electrical and systems integration, including safe 12V/24V power distribution, inverter/charger systems, work lighting, beacons, GPOs, and compliant isolation and labelling to support field service operations.
Ergonomics and safety were built into the design through non slip flooring, certified anchor points, safe reach racking, gas strut or lift assist doors, drip trays and spill control measures, fire extinguishers, first aid placement, and document stations. These details support safe, efficient work in varied conditions.
Alongside the medium rigid truck canopies, Allweld developed scaled canopy packages for dual cab and extra cab utes, retaining the same internal layout logic, parts commonality, and service procedure flow. This approach reduces training time and inventory complexity across Pirtek branches.
Allweld also supports repairs, servicing, and mid life upgrades, including racking changes, electrical refreshes, and lighting enhancements. The modular design allows branches to standardise equipment locations and choose between basic, standard, and heavy duty fit outs depending on zone requirements.
The Pirtek canopy program demonstrates Allweld’s ability to deliver repeatable, operator friendly solutions across multiple vehicle classes. Standardised layouts improve safety, uptime, and brand consistency while simplifying training, spares management, and lifecycle support for a national service fleet.
By combining modular engineering with careful attention to ergonomics and safety, Allweld has helped Pirtek create a more consistent and efficient mobile service platform across its network.
