Toyota: part of the crew

For years, FleetCrew has been the stalwart of the mining industry, specialising in light hire vehicles that are designed to meet the intense demands of mining operations.

The company’s commitment to its customers is supported by a rich history of hands-on experience and industry partnership.

FleetCrew’s relationship with Toyota Australia is one forged from a shared ambition to supply vehicles that can perform well in the harsh conditions of the Australian outback.

FleetCrew executive director Ben Harris lauds Toyota for its similarly long-standing reputation on Australian soil, pointing out that its vehicles have been tried and tested in the most challenging environments.

Mr Harris says FleetCrew’s customers know this well.

“With an only-Toyota fleet, customers appreciate that they’re getting a Toyota when they book, not a vehicle marked Or Similar,” he said.

The preference for Toyota isn’t merely about brand loyalty for FleetCrew. The team has found that these vehicles consistently perform better against their stringent standards for durability and reliability. FleetCrew fleet chief operating officer Ryan Strelow explains.

“You’ll see a vehicle come back from a long-term hire and you really appreciate their durability,” Ryan said.

“The chassis are tough and the components are overbuilt to handle more stress. The engines aren’t over-complicated, which means they’re less prone to major issues.”

But FleetCrew’s dedication doesn’t stop at supplying top-tier vehicles. Each unit is kitted out with premium components from trusted suppliers to cater to their clients’ unique needs. This includes everything from heavy-duty steel trays with rollover protection headboards to bull bars, GVM upgrades and top-notch all-terrain tyres, ensuring each vehicle is properly kitted out for mining work.

On the tech front, FleetCrew is more than capable. The company offers In-Vehicle Monitoring Systems (IVMS) and Distraction and Fatigue Monitoring Systems, all of which are manageable through Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms.

FleetCrew also scores high on the convenience factor. The team delivers premium Mine Spec Toyota vehicles across the eastern states of Australia, operating from branches in Brisbane, Mackay, Dysart, Mount Isa and Cloncurry, among other strategic locations.

Thanks to Toyota’s market prominence, FleetCrew’s network of maintenance locations are well-acquainted with the product. This ensures that any vehicle issues can be swiftly identified and repaired.

“Given Toyota’s popularity in the market, our network of maintenance locations are familiar with the product, meaning issues can be diagnosed and repaired quickly,” Ryan said.

FleetCrew’s commitment to providing high-quality mine spec light hire vehicles is more than just a business tactic. It is a genuine endeavour to deliver reliable solutions to Australia’s mining industry that shines through in every vehicle FleetCrew sends out into the field.
