Maximise Your Productivity

3 Must-Have QMW Products 

Fuel Lube Service Modules, Water Trucks and Platforms with Q-Pilot Kits

In today’s high-demand mining and heavy industrial environments, productivity is everything. Equipment downtime, safety risks and inefficient servicing can quickly erode both margins and morale.  

That’s why choosing the right support equipment is just as critical as investing in the machines that do the heavy lifting. At QMW Industries, productivity starts with innovative, purpose-built equipment designed to keep your operation moving. Here are three must-have QMW products that are helping customers across Australia maximise uptime, improve safety and streamline daily operations: Fuel Lube Service Modules, Water Trucks and Platforms fitted with Q-Pilot Kits.

Fuel Lube Service Modules: Keep your fleet moving

Downtime is the enemy of progress. QMW’s Fuel Lube Service Modules are engineered to deliver fuel, oils, coolants and compressed air directly to your equipment in the field, significantly reducing the need for machines to return to fixed service bays. Built to handle the harshest working conditions, these modules are fabricated from high-grade materials and mounted to robust truck platforms or off-road carriers. Every design is tailored to customer specifications, including tank capacities, pump types, hose reels, metering systems and onboard storage. 

QMW modules are also built with service teams in mind. Features like fold-out work decks, non-slip access steps, and ergonomic hose layouts ensure that technicians can work faster and safer. Optional fire suppression systems, remote fill sensors and LED lighting further enhance usability in low-light or high-risk environments. With QMW’s Fuel Lube Service Modules, your service crew becomes a mobile pit crew — fast, efficient and always ready. 

Water Trucks: Dust control done right

A safe site is a productive site, and dust control plays a central role in ensuring clear visibility, air quality and overall operational safety. QMW’s Water Trucks are among the most rugged and intelligent solutions available on the market. Engineered with a focus on durability and efficiency, each tank is custom-fabricated to suit the selected carrier — whether it’s a Komatsu, CAT or other OEM base. 

What sets QMW Water Trucks apart is the integration of high-performance spray systems. Multi-zone spray bars, gravity-fed side sprays and optional cannon sprayers give operators full control over water distribution. The tanks are baffled internally to minimise surge during transit, and systems are powered via hydraulic, electric or PTO configurations depending on client needs. 

Additionally, QMW offers telemetry-ready water systems for real-time monitoring and control. This ensures that water usage is not just effective but also sustainable and trackable. Whether you’re suppressing dust on haul roads or maintaining site access during dry conditions, QMW Water Trucks are the smart solution. 

Platforms & Q-Pilot Kits: Elevating safety and efficiency

Working at height remains one of the most dangerous aspects of heavy equipment maintenance. QMW’s range of access platforms — particularly when integrated with Q-Pilot Kits — is designed to mitigate this risk while boosting operational efficiency. These platforms can be mounted to a wide range of equipment and come equipped with folding rail systems, anti-slip grating and built-in tool trays or lighting packages. 

The real game-changer, however, is the Q-Pilot Kit — a modular system that provides remote controls, power assist lifts and integrated safety interlocks. With Q-Pilot, accessing engines, hydraulic systems or other high-mounted components becomes safer, quicker and less physically demanding. The system is especially valuable for larger machines like loaders, dozers or rigid dump trucks, where access can often be awkward or hazardous. 

Built to meet (and exceed) Australian safety standards, QMW’s platform solutions are ideal for sites that prioritise both safety compliance and productivity outcomes. For operations under tight maintenance schedules, these platforms can make the difference between lost hours and gained momentum. 

Why QMW?

QMW Industries has been a trusted name in heavy equipment attachments and site support systems for more than 40 years. Every product is designed, fabricated and tested in-house at QMW’s state-of-the-art facilities, ensuring full control over quality and compliance. The company works closely with OEMs and end-users to develop tailored solutions that not only meet current demands but anticipate future challenges. 

From initial consultation through to commissioning, QMW delivers value at every stage of the product lifecycle. With a focus on safety, innovation and operational performance, QMW products are a long-term investment in your site’s success. 

Maximising productivity in mining and industrial settings requires more than just hardworking machines — it demands support systems that work just as hard. QMW’s Fuel Lube Service Modules, Water Trucks and Platforms with Q-Pilot Kits are designed to reduce downtime, improve safety and increase operational efficiency.  

Whether you’re running a remote mine site or managing a busy civil project, these three essential QMW solutions will help you stay ahead of the curve.
