Why truck work is its own trade
Most cars run 12 V systems, but most heavy trucks and many buses run 24 V, usually from two batteries in series. Starters, alternators, lighting and accessories have to suit that voltage, and fitting 12 V gear to a 24 V system usually needs a converter. Heavy vehicles also carry more complex lighting, trailer connections, engine management and body equipment such as tail lifts, tippers and refrigeration units.
A lot of this work needs a workshop with heavy vehicle access and room to get a prime mover inside. Many truck auto electricians also work on site at depots and yards, which suits operators who cannot afford to take a vehicle off the road for a day.
Brisbane’s freight and industrial areas
Brisbane is a major freight hub. The port and the industrial suburbs around it, along with the corridors served by the Gateway, Logan and Ipswich motorways, see constant heavy vehicle traffic. Industrial pockets in places such as the Trade Coast, Ipswich and Logan mean many fleets want someone who can come to the depot or book trucks in after a shift.
Summer heat and storm season are hard on heavy vehicle electrics too. Batteries, charging systems, trailer plugs and lighting all take a beating on long runs and in wet weather.
Fleet work and regular servicing
For businesses running several trucks, vans or buses, it often pays to have one heavy vehicle auto electrician who knows the fleet. Regular checks of batteries, charging output, earths and trailer plugs can catch problems before a truck fails mid-run. Fit-outs such as beacons, work lights, reversing cameras, two-way radios and telematics units are also common jobs, and doing them the same way across the fleet makes later fault-finding much simpler.
What to have ready when you call
- Make, model, year and whether the system is 12 V or 24 V
- Any fault codes or dash warnings, and when the fault happens
- Whether the truck is drivable or needs on-site attention
- Trailer details if the problem involves lights, brakes or plugs
- For fleets: how many vehicles, and whether work can happen after hours
For utes and light vehicles, our mobile auto electricians page may be a better fit. Fleet operators fitting cameras can read about dash cam installation, and if you tow a plant trailer, see caravan and trailer wiring.
