About Precision Diesel & Hydraulics ​

Our Foundation: Expertise Built in the Field

​Precision Diesel & Hydraulics is owned and operated by Lachlan Brand and Kayden Zecchinati with a singular mission: to provide the mining and drilling industries with specialized maintenance solutions that prioritize quality, reliability, and technical precision.

​By merging extensive backgrounds in heavy diesel maintenance and technical hydraulics diagnostics and manufacturing, our directors have built a company that understands the grit of the mine site and the precision of the workshop.

​Leadership & Heritage

• ​Lachlan Brand (Director): Beginning his career at Hastings Deering in Mackay, Lachlan has spent years mastering the complexities of civil earthmoving and blasthole/exploration drilling. His specialization in blasthole drilling maintenance and his experience in supervisory roles on major mine sites in the Bowen Basin ensure that our team approaches every job with a Tier-1 operational mindset.

• ​Kayden Zecchinati (Director): With over 11 years of specialized hydraulic experience starting at a national hydraulics company, Kayden brings an engineering-focused edge to the business. From his involvement in the manufacture of custom made underground bolting platforms to serving as a Field Service Supervisor, his expertise ensures that even the most complex hydraulic systems are managed with absolute accuracy.

​What We Do: The Full Lifecycle Package

​We offer a closed-loop maintenance solution. By integrating on-site field labour with off-site precision overhauls, we eliminate the gap between diagnostic and repair, keeping your fleet in motion.

​Our Mission & Values

​Our Mission

To deliver performance-driven maintenance and hydraulic solutions that maximize equipment uptime and reduce total cost of ownership for our clients, without ever compromising on quality or safety.

Our Values

• ​Precision in Everything: From the micron-level tolerances in our machine shop to our diagnostic accuracy on-site, we do the job right the first time.

• ​Investment in People: We have an expansive team of fitters, subcontractors, and support staff. We believe in the constant advancement of our team, investing heavily in upskilling and training to stay ahead of evolving industry technology.

• ​Work Safe, Home Safe: Safety isn't just a metric; it's our strategy. we implement rigorous processes to ensure every team member returns home to their families and hobbies in the same condition they arrived.

• ​Integrity & Innovation: If an OEM part is no longer available or does not maintain a balance for cost/quality, we find a better way. We pride ourselves on being agile problem solvers.

​National Reach, Local Expertise

​While our workshop is in Mackay, our reach is national. We currently supply specialized labor to major mining customers in Central Queensland and throughout Australia and have the logistics network to receive and dispatch components for rebuild from any location across Australia.

​The Precision Advantage: Capabilities

​1. On-Site Mobile Field Service

​Our trade-qualified fitters specialize in the scheduled and breakdown maintenance of blasthole and exploration drill rigs.

• ​Versatility: Beyond drills, we maintain the full fleet: excavators, dump trucks, dozers, graders, and loaders.

• ​OEM Experience: Extensive hands-on work with Epiroc, Sandvik, CAT, Komatsu, Hitachi, and Liebherr.

• ​Flexible Manning: Available for permanent crew positions or "On Call" mobile breakdown support.

2. Off-Site Component Rebuild & Machine Shop

​​Operating out of our dedicated Paget, Mackay workshop, we provide an economical alternative to OEM replacements without sacrificing quality. We specialize in depth mechanical and hydraulic overhauls tailored to meet your budget and timeline.

• ​In-House Machining: Equipped with a 3m bed lathe (4" spindle bore / 640mm swing) and a 3-axis vertical turret mill (1.2m bed), we can manufacture and repair parts with zero reliance on external machine shops.

• ​Comprehensive Rebuilds: Specialist service for hydraulic cylinders, valves, pumps, motors, gearboxes, final drives, and rotary heads.

• ​Testing & Quality: We possess the in-house capability to test a wide range of hydraulic components post-rebuild, ensuring they meet or exceed OEM performance standards before they leave our floor.

​3. System Upgrades, Manufacture & Supply

​We believe that equipment should work for you, not the other way around. When OEM components become cost-prohibitive or obsolete, we innovate.

• ​Reverse Engineering: We redesign custom OEM parts into "off-the-shelf" solutions to increase future availability and slash costs.

• ​Retrofitting: If a component is discontinued, we source, adapt, and install modern alternatives to extend the life of your asset.

• ​Tier-1 Partnerships: We supply and integrate products from world-leading brands including GRACO, Alemlube, Parker Denison, Rexroth, Danfoss, and more.

​Why Choose Precision?

​In an industry where an hour of downtime can cost thousands, we focus on Maximized Output. Our team doesn't just "fix" machines; we optimize them. We combine the agility of a mobile service with the technical depth of a manufacturing plant to ensure your operations remain performance-driven and cost-effective.
