Energy Queensland operates a large and diverse fleet to support field service, maintenance, and emergency response teams across the state. They needed durable, fit for purpose truck bodies that could handle harsh Australian conditions while supporting safe, efficient access to tools and equipment.

Over more than 18 years, Allweld has become a long term partner to Energy Queensland, supplying custom truck body configurations that align with different work groups and use cases across the fleet.

Solution – what Allweld delivered

Allweld designs and manufactures specialised vehicle bodies tailored to the requirements of Energy Queensland’s field teams. Each body is engineered around day to day workflows, with layouts that support equipment access, safe load management, and practical storage.

The scope of work includes design and engineering, fabrication and assembly of robust truck bodies, and integration of modular components such as tool storage, compartments, and access systems. Bodies are built to withstand demanding site conditions while maintaining consistent standards across multiple vehicle types.

Fleet standardisation and lifecycle support

A key focus of the program is fleet standardisation. Allweld works with Energy Queensland to create body configurations that can be replicated and adapted across different vehicles and work groups, ensuring consistency for operators and simplifying training and inventory.

In addition to new body builds, Allweld provides ongoing repairs, servicing, and maintenance to keep the fleet operational. As part of the SG Fleet national supply chain, Allweld supports Energy Queensland’s asset management strategy with responsive parts replacement and fit out upgrades over the lifecycle of the vehicles.

Results and outcomes.

This long term partnership demonstrates Allweld’s ability to support high volume, multi year fleet programs with consistent quality and innovation. By standardising bodies and providing ongoing support, Allweld helps Energy Queensland maintain fleet readiness, reduce downtime, and deliver a safer, more efficient working environment for field crews.

The relationship highlights Allweld’s role as a trusted supplier that can manage both the initial design and fabrication of complex truck bodies and the lifecycle support required to keep them performing in the field.

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.
Solution – what Allweld delivered

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.

Electrical, ergonomics, and safety features
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.

Ute variant alignment and fleet standardisation
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.

Results and outcomes

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.
