FAQ
How often should heavy vehicles undergo maintenance?
Maintenance schedules for heavy vehicles are usually based on distance travelled (e.g. every 10,000 to 25,000 kilometres) or set time intervals (such as every 3 to 6 months). However, service frequency can vary depending on the vehicle type, usage, load, terrain, and manufacturer requirements. Vehicles involved in long-haul transport, heavy loads, or stop-start urban driving may need more frequent checks. Scheduled maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, ensures roadworthiness, and keeps vehicles compliant with regulatory standards. Key tasks often include oil and filter changes, brake and tyre inspections, fluid replacements, and system diagnostics. Sticking to a routine schedule ensures safe, reliable operation year-round.
Why are scheduled maintenance checks important for heavy vehicles?
Scheduled maintenance checks are essential to keep heavy vehicles in safe working order and to meet legal compliance standards. They help identify wear and tear before it becomes a major issue, reducing the risk of costly repairs, vehicle downtime, and road accidents. Regular inspections ensure that key systems — such as brakes, steering, suspension, tyres, and lighting — are working correctly. In many industries, especially transport and logistics, vehicles must pass regular roadworthy inspections, and failing to meet maintenance requirements can result in fines or lost business. Proactive maintenance also helps extend the vehicle’s service life, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance driver safety and confidence.
Can heavy vehicle repairs be done roadside or on-site?
Yes, many heavy vehicle mechanics offer mobile services for roadside or on-site repairs, especially in urgent situations where towing is impractical. These services are particularly useful for breakdowns, flat tyres, cooling issues, or electrical faults that occur during transport. Mobile mechanics arrive with the tools, equipment, and replacement parts needed to diagnose and resolve issues efficiently. However, for larger mechanical failures — like gearbox overhauls or full engine rebuilds — the vehicle may still need to be transported to a workshop. Mobile services are popular among transport companies and fleet operators looking to minimise downtime and avoid disruptions to delivery or work schedules.
