Corps Group gives FitFleet® the thumbs up

For Dayne and Beau Corps, two of the four brothers behind Corps Group, the sprawling red dust of the Pilbara is more than just a worksite; it’s home.

From mine sites and asphalt plants to grader fleets and community sponsorships, their family business is powering forward across Western Australia’s northwest. They’re doing it with the support of FitFleet Customer Value Agreements (CVAs).

A FitFleet CVA is a hassle-free ownership plan that helps to ensure Cat machines are kept in top working order for maximum productivity. For Corps Group, it means they can spend more time focusing on their business and less time worrying about machine maintenance and repairs.

It’s vital for them to know that, wherever their machines are, they’re operating in optimal condition.

“We’ve got machines spread across the Pilbara. And when you’re working inland with limited reception, it’s critical to know your gear is healthy,” Dayne said, speaking from the group’s multi-use Karratha facility at Gap Ridge.

“FitFleet gives us clarity. Every 250 hours, the machines are serviced, checked, and we get a condition report from WesTrac.

“This all means that our gear is running efficiently without pulling it off-site for extended periods of time.”

Corps Group runs multiple branches in Western Australia, but has dual branches out of Karratha and Broome, servicing large-scale infrastructure and resource projects like roads, stacker-reclaimer replacements, and mine access facilities.

For Corps Group, unplanned downtime is costly and detrimental to business operations and their bottom line.

That’s where the FitFleet CVAs, delivered through trained Cat technicians at WesTrac Karratha, provide value.

“FitFleet brings four key benefits: condition monitoring, VisionLink® telematics, scheduled oil sampling and machine inspections,” Beau explained.

Corps Group’s local Cat dealer, WesTrac, plays a pivotal role.

“We’ve got over 20 Cat trained mechanics in Karratha alone,” said Brad Eckert, WesTrac’s branch supervisor.

“From Exmouth to Tom Price and Whim Creek, we’re boots on the ground, doing everything from quick services to long-term on-site rebuilds,” he said.

This hands-on support is backed by data insights. WesTrac Customer Support Manager, Erica Stringer, said the FitFleet Premium CVA used by Corps Group means problems can be sorted out before they become failures.

“If we detect high iron in an oil sample or a fault code pops up, our condition monitoring team is on the phone to the customer straight away,” she said.

Corps Group’s experience offers a clear message: with the right technology, dealer support, and data-driven maintenance/insights through a FitFleet Customer Value Agreement, users don’t just get uptime; they get a whole new level of control and peace of mind.

There’s a FitFleet CVA to suit any business or application and you have the freedom to structure the agreement that suits you, to help maximise uptime and control costs.
