Advisory Services

Our Electric Machinery Services

Comprehensive advisory across every phase of the electrification journey - from business case to battery management, infrastructure to ISO compliance.

Before committing to electrification, a rigorous feasibility assessment is essential. We conduct detailed studies that give you confidence to proceed and a clear picture of the commercial and operational implications.

  • Site Evaluation:Detailed assessment of each site's suitability for electric equipment based on work cycles, shift patterns, ambient temperature and terrain.
  • Operational Needs Analysis:Mapping equipment requirements to available electric solutions to identify gaps and optimal replacement pathways.
  • Cost-Benefit and ROI Analysis:Full lifecycle cost modelling comparing electric versus diesel across purchase price, operating costs, maintenance and resale.
  • Environmental Impact Evaluation:Carbon reduction quantification and ESG reporting inputs for electric fleet adoption.
  • Risk Assessment:Identifying operational, financial and technology risks and developing mitigation strategies.

With a rapidly expanding range of electric machinery options from Chinese and global manufacturers, selecting the right equipment for each application is complex. Our specialists provide objective, evidence-based guidance.

  • Market Analysis:Comprehensive review of available electric construction and mining machinery across all categories relevant to your fleet.
  • Equipment Compatibility Assessment:Matching available electric models to your specific application requirements and performance specifications.
  • Supplier Negotiations:Leveraging our manufacturer relationships to negotiate competitive pricing, warranty terms and support commitments.
  • Procurement Planning:Staging procurement to manage capital expenditure and align fleet transitions with asset replacement cycles.
  • Lifecycle Analysis:Projecting total cost of ownership and residual value for selected electric machinery.

Electric machinery is only as effective as the infrastructure supporting it. We develop comprehensive charging and power infrastructure plans tailored to your specific site and fleet requirements.

  • Charging Infrastructure Planning:Site-specific design of charging networks including charger type, quantity, location and sequencing strategies.
  • Energy Storage Solutions:Assessment of battery storage systems to manage peak demand and enable off-grid or remote site charging.
  • Grid Capacity Assessment:Evaluation of existing electrical infrastructure and identification of upgrade requirements.
  • Smart Charging Systems:Implementing demand management and scheduling systems to optimise charging costs and minimise grid impact.
  • Backup Power Planning:Designing redundancy and backup systems to ensure continuous equipment availability.

Navigating the regulatory requirements for electric construction and mining machinery across Australia and New Zealand requires specialist knowledge. We provide comprehensive compliance support.

  • Standards Compliance:Management of alignment to Australian Standards, New Zealand Standards and relevant IEC/ISO standards for electric machinery.
  • Type Approval and Certification:Managing the approval and certification processes for electric machinery models entering the Oceania market.
  • WorkSafe and SafeWork Compliance:Ensuring electric machinery and charging infrastructure meet relevant workplace safety legislation across Australian states.
  • Documentation Management:Maintaining comprehensive compliance documentation to support audits and regulatory enquiries.
  • Risk Minimisation:Proactive strategies to maintain compliance as standards and regulations evolve.

Successful electric fleet transition requires meticulous project management from machinery order through to fleet deployment and operator certification.

  • End-to-End Project Management:Complete oversight from machinery delivery and infrastructure installation to commissioning and handover.
  • Logistics Coordination:Managing transport, import documentation and site delivery for electric machinery.
  • Installation Oversight:Supervision of charging infrastructure installation to ensure quality, safety and compliance.
  • Commissioning and Testing:Structured testing and validation of electric machinery and charging systems before fleet deployment.
  • Contingency Management:Proactive risk management and contingency plans to keep projects on schedule.

Electric fleet adoption is a significant ESG event. We help businesses maximise the ESG reporting value of their electric machinery investments and satisfy investor, customer and regulatory reporting requirements.

  • Carbon Footprint Quantification:Precise measurement of carbon reduction achieved through electric fleet adoption using accepted methodologies.
  • ESG Report Inputs:Providing the data, narrative and calculations needed for annual sustainability and ESG reports.
  • Certification Support:Assistance obtaining relevant environmental and sustainability certifications.
  • Investor and Stakeholder Communication:Developing clear, credible communications about your electrification progress and targets.
  • Continuous Monitoring:Ongoing tracking and reporting on fleet environmental performance against commitments.
Charging Infrastructure

The Right Infrastructure
Unlocks the Full Opportunity.

Charging infrastructure is often the deciding factor in whether an electric fleet transition succeeds or fails. Under-specified infrastructure leads to equipment downtime and operational disruption. Over-specified infrastructure wastes capital.

Our infrastructure planning process is grounded in actual site data, equipment specifications and utility supply analysis to deliver a right-sized, future-proofed charging infrastructure plan.

  • Site power supply assessment and grid connection planning
  • Charger specification for DC fast, AC destination and opportunity charging
  • Energy storage integration to reduce peak demand charges
  • Smart charging software to optimise cost and availability

Training and Capacity Building

Operators Who Know Their
Equipment Drive Better Results.

Electric machinery operates differently from diesel. Operators and technicians who understand the differences operate more efficiently, achieve longer battery life and are safer in the field.

We provide comprehensive training programmes that cover safe operation, charging procedures, battery care, fault identification and emergency response - tailored to the specific equipment your team will be operating.

  • Operator certification programmes for electric construction machinery
  • Technician training for electric drivetrain servicing and diagnosis
  • Charging infrastructure operator training
  • Emergency response and fire safety procedures for battery systems
