Throw a dart on a map of Western Australia, and chances are it will land on an area that bears the footprint of Allworks WA.
The ubiquitous provider of dry and wet hire equipment and personnel for the civil, mining and rail industries has long demonstrated its ability to produce efficient, consistent quality results, with operational locations strategically located to support major projects across Australia.
It has supplied machinery for tasks of all sizes, from smaller civil works to the likes of the Metronet rail projects in Perth, Inland Rail in NSW, and a number of large rail projects for Roy Hill, Rio Tinto, Fortescue and BHP.
The family-owned business, with Angelo Sarich and wife Robin at the helm, has been operating since 1999, with its key staff each having many years of experience in rail and civil works.
One of them is Allworks general manager Nick McLoughney, who spoke with Earthmoving Equipment Magazine about the company’s move into electric vehicles.
“The pillar of our success to date can be attributed to our industry alliances and connections which we have developed over the past 25 years,” Nick said.
And among those is the close partnership with CJD Equipment, which began in the early 2000s and has continued to grow in strength, particularly over the past 15 years.
“The relationship has really developed. They are one of our trusted suppliers for our equipment across the entire fleet,” Nick said.
“We own about 300 key assets. The majority of those are loaders and excavators and almost 100 of them are Volvo machines obtained from CJD.
“We've got in excess of 70 Volvo loaders, as well as their trucks, excavators, some graders, some rollers. It’s quite an extensive Volvo fleet and they’re always in demand.
“All of them have been powered by diesel fuel. But this year we decided to bring in the first electric loader from Volvo.”
