A little bit about us

The heat in the Pilbara is extreme and once an air-conditioning unit fails, the machine will become non-operational. Due to the increased ambient temperatures placed on a machines air-con system in the summer, the increased system pressure and the high operator demand can expose a weak link, whether it be a failing hose or a component not operating as intended.

Other environmental stresses, especially dust and vibration can also induce air-con downtime.

There is a wide range of different systems between manufacturers and some have not been designed with the harsh Australian conditions in mind. Allplant has extensive experience with the typical faults that different systems encounter, and this experience leads to a much quicker diagnosis and the right solution the first time.

We have in-house expertise to design, manufacture, install, service, repair and rebuild all types of air conditioning systems. We also conduct air conditioning audits for mining machinery fleets including a complete breakdown of parts, costs and scheduled replacement to help minimise down time.

Our expertise is the solutions we have developed to the problems that heat, dust and vibration have on heavy-duty mining equipment as a result of operating in the harsh West Australian conditions.
Our sole focus is auto electrical maintenance and repairs on mining equipment. We know what typically fails and why and what needs to be done to ensure maximum operational uptime. We’ve been doing this since 2007.
We cover everything from full machinery rewires, to mine specification machinery fit-outs. Our services include installations, auto electrical repairs, the design, manufacture and installation of harnesses, mobile control systems, air conditioning maintenance, repair and installation, temporary labour hire and maintenance staff for machine shutdowns.
We have retained knowledge of all the equipment we have worked on since 2007, complete with wiring diagrams which have been categorised into our purpose-built database.
This is an invaluable resource allowing us to be highly efficient in the delivery of all the services we provide, saving our clients valuable time and money.

Traditionally a wiring harness will receive repairs and not a complete replacement. Over time, this gets very disorganised and fault finding becomes time-consuming and problematic. Our clients often don’t have time to re-wire all that needs doing but they do have enough time to replace a wire harness.
Our approach is to make an entirely new wiring harness, to remove the old and replace with new. During this process, an Allplant part number is given to the harness along with a bill of materials to match. This is especially useful when a machine comes in for a shut, as ordering from a bill of materials is much more efficient enabling the machine to be operational in as short a time frame as possible.
We design and manufacture automotive braided wiring harnesses that withstand high temperatures and offer better protection and durability than standard wiring protection. Our in-house AutoCAD staff design and document new harnesses or modify and braid existing harnesses. For all harness manufacturing we use high-temperature, tinned- copper wire with cross linked polyurethane (XLPE) 125oC insulation, and our harnesses are braided in high-temperature ‘CAT-style’ nylon yarn.

Different mine sites have different requirements and the safety standards here in Australia are different to elsewhere in the world. Machines need modifications which could include handrails, hydraulic ladders, emergency stops, lighting, fire suppression, isolators, auxiliary batteries to name a few. In some cases, we may be installing up to twenty different items.
It is more efficient to design and build a control system for all those components and give the wire harness individual part numbers in a bill of materials so that components can be reordered in the same way you order OEM components.

We offer diverse, tailored mobile plant control systems to suit any mobile plant application using high-quality, German-made components. We specialise in process control, PLC-based systems and fluid level monitoring for service and water trucks. All installations come with comprehensive AutoCAD documentation and wiring diagrams.

Our auto electricians are heavy-duty mining equipment specialists with a high level of proficiency for all the services we provide. These services include breakdowns, scheduled maintenance, new and existing installs and machine shutdowns.

Allplant are well known for our manufacturing of wiring harnesses, control systems and electrical components and the same tradespeople we send to site are experienced with all of these services. They have current Arctick refrigeration licenses and field service utes that are equipped for all conditions.

Sourcing the right parts is an ongoing challenge.
If an external party doesn’t have a product sheet or part number for the product they are replacing, it can be very difficult to find the supplier and the part number you need. If you can’t reorder, then you have to either engage someone else to replicate the part or find another supplier with the same part which creates a logistical headache resulting in lost time and frustration.
