Diesel and performance faults
We check hard starting, rough running, smoke and lost power. Fuel supply, air intake, sensors or engine wear may be the cause. We test the linked systems before recommending major parts.

Machine down? Get a clear repair plan.
Lost power, overheating or a machine that will not start? Total Mobile Mechanical Services checks and repairs suitable earthmoving, civil, mining-support and industrial equipment. We also work on forklifts. Our mechanics and auto electrician work together. Book workshop work at Calliope or discuss a suitable mobile visit.
Call 0456 765 135 with the machine, fault and location. Tell us whether it can be moved and any site access requirements.

Repair scope and priorities explained
Practical support for the equipment you rely on
Tell us the machine, fault and site access. The tools and parts needed guide what we can do. We confirm where the repair should take place and explain when a specialist is needed.
Starting, charging and electrical
We test batteries, starters, charging, wiring and power supply. Our qualified auto electrician can check lights, sensors, accessories and accessible control circuits. Tell us if the fault changes with heat, load or vibration.
Cooling and overheating
We check coolant flow, the radiator, hoses, fans and pressure. Fan wiring and controls may also be involved. Tests help find the cause of overheating before a radiator is replaced.
Leaks and hydraulic-related concerns
We assess oil, coolant and accessible hydraulic leaks. Hoses, fittings or other visible parts may need repair. The checks show whether the work suits our workshop or needs a hydraulic specialist.
Servicing and condition inspections
We plan servicing around engine hours and machine use. You can also ask about pre-work, pre-purchase or condition checks. The machine and available access guide the scope.
Breakdowns and suitable A/C work
Some faults and accessible repairs suit a mobile visit. We may also repair air conditioning on suitable machines. Larger jobs are planned around the tools and facilities they need.
Understand the cause and the next step
Test the connected systems
Lost power or a warning light may involve fuel, air, a sensor, wiring or engine wear. Fault codes help us choose tests. We also consider how the machine was working and what the physical checks show.
Our mechanics and auto electrician check the cause together. Cooling and air-conditioning skills are also available. This helps with faults that only appear under load or involve both coolant flow and fan controls. We explain the findings before larger repairs are arranged.
Choose the right place to complete the repair
Our breakdown ute supports urgent machinery callouts, while the mobile workshop brings tools, oils, fluids and repair capability to your site. It can remain for up to a week for planned servicing or a longer repair program. See our mobile workshop and breakdown service for coverage and visit arrangements.
Safe lifting, major parts removal and controlled testing may need workshop space. Machining, fabrication or specialist tests may need another provider. Our main workshop is at 6 Wright Road, Calliope. We plan larger jobs after the first checks.
Forklift repairs and servicing
We service and repair suitable forklifts. Work may cover petrol or diesel engines, starting, charging, cooling and accessible wiring. Some hydraulic symptoms can also be checked. Call with the make, model and fault so we can confirm the scope.
We check site access, isolation, lifting needs and the work area before starting. Mast work, structural repairs, electric-drive faults or specialist tools may need another provider. We confirm the right path for the machine.
You can plan forklift maintenance alongside fleet servicing. That brings scheduled work, reporting and a breakdown contact together through one business.
A clear scope for hydraulic work
We can assess some hydraulic leaks, hoses, fittings and visible parts. Fluid condition, heat, pressure, wear or control faults may affect how a machine behaves. Tests guide the right repair.
Hose manufacture, cylinder machining or pump and valve rebuilding may need a hydraulic specialist. We do not assume those services can be done in house. Tell us the machine and fault so we can explain which work we can complete.
Equipment we can assess
Suitable machines may include excavators, loaders, skid steers, backhoes, rollers and graders. We also discuss telehandlers, forklifts, tractors, generators and pumps. The make, size, system, fault, access and parts guide what we can do.
Mining-support vehicles and selected site equipment can be discussed with the same details, including site requirements. For tractor and agricultural work, our dedicated farm machinery service explains the relevant maintenance and repair support.
Plan maintenance around operating hours and workload
Planned servicing helps spot faults before the machine is urgently needed. Work may cover fluids, filters, leaks, cooling and charging. We also inspect belts, hoses and wiring and follow up faults reported by the operator.
We can plan work across trucks, trailers, forklifts and suitable machinery. Reports separate urgent safety or reliability work from repairs that can wait. Mention the machine hours, recent work and the effect of downtime when you book.

Gladstone, Calliope and surrounds.
We support owners in Gladstone, Calliope and nearby towns, including Mount Larcom, Benaraby and Miriam Vale. Our main workshop is in Calliope. Mobile work depends on the location, site safety, access, machine and agreed job.
Machinery repair questions
Can you attend an earthmoving breakdown on site?
Some jobs suit mobile checks and repairs. Tell us the site, machine and fault. Larger work may need workshop space or a specialist.
Do you service and repair forklifts?
Yes, within the agreed scope. We can check mechanical, starting, charging, cooling and accessible wiring faults. Some hydraulic concerns can also be assessed. Mast, structural or electric-drive work may need a specialist.
Can you repair every hydraulic component?
No. We assess selected hydraulic-related faults within our mechanical capability. Specialist hose manufacture, cylinder machining and pump or valve rebuilding may require a hydraulic specialist.
Can machinery maintenance be coordinated with our fleet?
Yes. Suitable equipment can be included in broader maintenance planning for work vehicles, trucks, trailers and forklifts, with clear reporting of current and upcoming repairs.
What details should I have ready?
Give us the make, model, location and fault. Include any codes, when the fault appears, site access and whether the machine can move. That helps us plan the tools and work area.
