Specialist support across the mining equipment lifecycle
DDS provides embedded on-site specialists who manage maintenance, fault diagnosis, shutdown execution, reliability improvements and more for Cat® and other OEM mining excavators and drills. We also deliver asset lifecycle management and on-site machine rebuilds, helping mining operations extend equipment life, reduce downtime and maximise productivity.

By embedding specialist technicians within mine operations, the team improves equipment reliability, accelerates repairs and optimises long-term asset performance.
Our support can be tailored to the operational requirements, equipment and maintenance strategy of each mine site, whether assistance is required for a planned shutdown, an unexpected breakdown, a new machine delivery or a major component change-out.

Our field service technicians are OEM-trained specialists who offer a wide range of on-site maintenance and breakdown support options.
Dedicated to keeping your fleet running smoothly, our technicians are equipped with advanced diagnostic tools and backed by an extensive branch network across Western Australia, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.
Our OEM-trained technicians can be on site for the assembly and post-commissioning support of your new machine. We can also provide machine disassembly, relocation and reassembly, helping your equipment operate efficiently and accurately in high-intensity mining environments.

DDS offers a range of modular component solutions designed to minimise equipment downtime and accelerate component change-outs. By replacing complete pre-assembled modules rather than individual components, customers can reduce maintenance duration, improve machine availability and return equipment to service faster.
DDS supports mining operations beyond day-to-day maintenance through asset lifecycle management and on-site machine rebuilds. Our specialists can help identify maintenance priorities, coordinate complex work and extend the productive life of mining excavators and drills.
