INTEGRATING ELECTRONICS TO MAKE YOUR EQUIPMENT WORK SAFELY

What We Do

  • Custom body control systems and CAN bus integration
  • AS2809 hazardous goods compliance
  • Safety interlock systems
  • PTO and auxiliary equipment control
  • Vehicle modifications and system integration
Control System Integration
Specialized truck bodies and mobile equipment require more than standard electrical installations—they need intelligent control systems that integrate vehicle electronics, hydraulics, pneumatics, and operator interfaces into safe, efficient operations.

Our Services

Complete Body Control Systems

Custom control systems that properly integrate truck electronics with body-mounted equipment.

  • Custom PLC programming (IFM, COBO platforms)
  • CAN bus integration with vehicle systems
  • Touch screen HMI and control panel design
  • Hydraulic/pneumatic system coordination

Vehicle Modifications & Safety Systems

Adding control features and safety systems to meet your requirements:

  • Parking brake interlocks (doors, equipment, loading operations)
  • J4 tipper angle safety systems (new Australian standard)
  • Speed limiting and rev lift control
  • AdBlue-compatible timed battery isolation
  • CAN bus signal extraction and programming

Hazardous Goods Compliance (AS2809)

Complete DG fuel haul conversion packages:

  • Hazardous area electrical installations
  • Exhaust shielding and thermal protection
  • In-cabin equipment and signage
  • Battery isolation and earth bonding

Installation & System Integration

Professional installation of control systems and auxiliary equipment:

  • Control panels, wiring harnesses, and pneumatic components
  • Beacons, lighting, cameras, and radio systems
  • Cable routing, hardware mounting, and system testing
  • On-site commissioning to ensure reliable operation

All equipment properly integrated with vehicle electronics for coordinated operation.

Remote Monitoring & Diagnostics

Web-based monitoring platform providing visibility into your installed control systems:

  • Real-time system monitoring and fault alerts
  • Remote access to PLC and CAN bus data
  • Historical data logging and performance analysis
  • Proactive maintenance and rapid remote troubleshooting

Minimize downtime with early fault detection and remote diagnostics.

Technical Support & Service

Ongoing support to keep your systems running:

  • Remote diagnostics and troubleshooting
  • On-site repairs and system modifications
  • Software updates and program changes
  • Preventative maintenance programs
Some truck platforms provide extensive body builder support, others require more custom integration work—we handle both.
