On site

The truck comes to the plant

Fitting, changeouts and repairs happen at the pit, the yard or the roadside, so a machine is not floated away from the job to have rubber changed.

Whole of life

Built around the casing

Every casing is treated as an asset with a service life — inspected, recorded and moved to a retread decision before it is quietly written off.

Heavy only

One class of work

Earthmoving, loader, grader, transport and agricultural rubber. We do not split our attention with passenger and light-vehicle fitting.

What we do

Field service for the tyres that carry the load

Four core service lines, all delivered on the customer’s site with the handling gear the position calls for.

On-site fitting and changeouts

Removal and refitting of OTR and heavy commercial tyres in position, including bead breaking, rim separation and torque-checked reassembly.

Field

Breakdown and after-hours response

Callouts for blowouts, sidewall damage and deflated positions on haul roads, highways and farm tracks, coordinated around your shift pattern.

Callout

Pressure, rotation and wear management

Scheduled pressure and tread-depth checks, position rotations and wear tracking so tyres are moved before uneven wear turns into a scrap casing.

Programmed

Casing inspection and retread management

Casing assessment against repair and retread criteria, with damage recorded so you can decide between repair, retread or replacement on evidence.

Assessment

Fitments

What we put our hands on

We work to the position, not the badge. If it is a heavy fitment on a working machine in Western Australia, it is inside our scope.

  • OTR & earthmoving

    Rigid and articulated dump trucks, excavators and dozers running radial or bias off-the-road rubber.

  • Loader & grader

    Front-end loader and grader positions, including bead seating and flange checks on multi-piece assemblies.

  • Heavy transport

    Prime movers, trailers, side tippers and road-train sets across steer, drive and trailer positions.

  • Agricultural

    Tractors, headers, chaser bins and spreaders, including low-pressure flotation fitments.

  • Materials handling

    Forklift, telehandler and yard-plant tyres in pneumatic, solid and press-on formats.

  • Rims & wheels

    Rim, lock-ring and flange inspection, cleaning and preparation before a casing goes back on.

Who you are dealing with

A Western Australian tyre business that stays close to the work

Sheppard’s Heavy Tyre Solutions Pty Ltd is an Australian registered proprietary company based in the Port Kennedy area, south of Perth and inside easy reach of the Kwinana industrial strip, the Peel region and the civil and quarry work through the South West.

Heavy tyres are unforgiving equipment. They are expensive, they are dangerous to handle badly, and they fail at the worst possible hour. Our answer is unglamorous: turn up prepared, follow the procedure for the assembly in front of us, and leave a written record of what was found so the next decision is easier than the last one.

Where we work

  • Perth southern suburbs and the Kwinana industrial area
  • Rockingham, Mandurah and the Peel region
  • South West quarries, civil sites and earthworks
  • Regional mine sites and farming properties by arrangement
