Advanced Fabrication and Chassis Repair

WesTrac Welshpool is one of the few facilities in Perth with the capability to handle large-scale chassis repairs and custom fabrication.

The fabrication team can:

• Repair damaged chassis using in-ground chassis grids
• Manufacture custom parts and machine modifications

• Support legacy equipment from brands like Bucyrus and Terex

From small brackets to full structural rebuilds, the team delivers precision engineering tailored to specific site requirements.

Dedicated Cab Rebuild and Upgrade Centre

A standout feature of the Welshpool branch is its dedicated cab rebuild facility, capable of handling multiple rebuilds simultaneously.

Services include:

• Full cab rebuilds or structural replacements
• Integration of the latest safety upgrades and operator technology
• Auto electrical fit-outs, including radios and control systems

This service offers significant cost advantages, saving customers approximately $100,000 per cab compared to purchasing new while ensuring compliance with modern standards.

Component Rebuilds and Sustainable Solutions

Welshpool is committed to sustainability and cost efficiency through its component reuse programs.

Instead of replacing parts unnecessarily, the team focuses on:

• Inspecting components for reusability
• Rebuilding and remanufacturing in-house
• Offering alternative options such as reman or flexi parts

This approach reduces waste, lowers costs, and supports faster turnaround times, all without compromising performance.

Fast Turnaround with 24/7 Operations

Downtime is one of the biggest challenges for mining and construction operations. That’s why WesTrac Welshpool operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ensuring rapid turnaround for even the largest rebuild programs.

The facility can manage:

• Single-machine jobs through to large-scale fleet programs
• Simultaneous rebuilds for major mining customers
• High-volume chassis replacement programs

Combined with its connection to WesTrac’s wider branch network and Product Support Group (PSG), machines can be transported, repaired, and returned to site efficiently minimising operational disruption.

Tailored Solutions Through Collaboration

One of Welshpool’s biggest strengths is its customer-first approach.

Every project begins with detailed consultation, where planning and service teams:

• Inspect machines either on-site or at the branch
• Develop tailored scopes of work
• Provide multiple pricing options
• Offer transparent timelines and progress updates

Customers remain involved throughout the rebuild process, with:

• Weekly progress reports
• Opportunities for site visits during rebuilds
• Continuous communication on scope adjustments

This collaborative model ensures that every rebuild meets both operational and financial goals.

• Specialist mechanics and electricians

• Planning and logistics teams

Each machine is supported by dedicated specialists who ensure quality standards are met at every stage. Strict adherence to Caterpillar procedures, combined with experienced quality inspectors, helps reduce failure rates and improve long-term performance.
