Support Vehicles

We have five fuel tanker 'nurse trucks', which we are able to provide for loading. Fuel capacity is up to 20000 litres per truck. Water capacity is up to 11000 litres per truck.

Trucks are fitted with 'on top' Heli deck landing platform which enables a safer working area for those on the ground as well as requiring less of a 'prepared' landing area. It also enables very quick site moving set up time as the unit is completely 'self contained' with all mixing and loading equipment fitted to the truck.

Loading times for work off the truck can be less than 60 seconds!

Mixing rig has an accurate measuring vat, which enables product to be added to the mix tank with minimum handling. Delivery hose is fitted with either 2 or 3" Buckeye dry break tap so as to eliminate spillage during loading.

We also have four, one tonne 4 wheel-drive tray back utes with trailers fitted with mixing tanks and equipment for remote loading sites where required.

McDermott Aviation has just introduced three Mercedes 'Sprinters' vans which are fully equipped with spare parts and tools necessary for 'on the job' maintenance and support as required.

All vehicles are fitted with UHF two-way radios (for coms with Helicopter/Ground staff) and mobile telephones.

All loading trucks are Dangerous Goods licensed and fully insured, including $20 Million public liability! All vehicles are equipped with safety gear, first aid kits and spill prevention/clean up gear.
