Why we
started

I grew up around cars and trucks, and I've always known I wanted to work on machinery. Six years into the industry, I'd done my apprenticeship across the full range — small utes through to 100-ton excavators, one-ton diggers to big haulers — and headed to Australia to work in the mines.

It was good work, but home kept pulling. So I came back to the Bay to start the thing I'd been planning all along: my own heavy diesel company.

SDS is the result. It's a dream come true, and I can't wait to hit the ground running and support where we can.

How we
work

Mobile when you need it

Our service ute is kitted out to handle most jobs on-site, so if your gear's down in a paddock or stuck on a job, we come to you.

Workshop when it makes sense

For the bigger rebuilds, COF work, and anything that needs the proper gear, we've got the workshop set up to handle it.

Straight up

We tell you what's wrong, what it'll cost, and what your options are. No surprises.
