FROM LOCAL RESOURCE TO GLOBAL SUPPLIER

Based in Mackay, this heavy machinery service and parts supplier has grown to house one of the largest inventories in the region. Their reputation has been built on hands-on knowledge, technical expertise, and a commitment to delivering reliable, long-term solutions.
Now, EHS is confidently stepping onto the global stage of the mining, civil, and construction industries with a brand identity that matches the scale, capability, and integrity they have built over the years.
At EHS, it is not unusual for the founder himself to answer the phone. Chris is not your average business owner; he's a former Diesel Fitter with an exceptional memory for part numbers and is just as comfortable solving complex business challenges as he is working on the workshop floor. His deep industry knowledge, combined with a team of like-minded experts, has shaped a company that prioritises honest advice and practical solutions over quick sales.
Chris began his career on the tools, diagnosing issues, stripping down machines, rebuilding engines, and doing whatever it took to keep heavy equipment running. That boots-on-the-ground experience gave him a practical understanding of the industry, which remains central to how EHS operates today. Although the business has grown significantly in size and capability, it has never lost that grounded approach. Every service, solution, and decision is guided by real-world insight and a genuine respect for the people who rely on their machines to get the job done.
EHS began as a labour hire business, which gave Chris valuable insight into the everyday challenges faced by machinery owners. It became clear that speed, reliability, and cost-effective solutions were top priorities. When a client offered to sell him a machine, it sparked a new direction for the business: dismantling. This shift allowed EHS to offer more affordable components without compromising on quality. It also meant faster turnaround times, especially on parts from leading brands such as Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, and Liebherr. Today, EHS provides end-to-end support, starting with diagnostic assessments that help identify the most effective and long-lasting fix. Their advice is always grounded in integrity, and when a replacement part isn't necessary, they'll recommend a more practical option.
From quick fixes to complete machine rebuilds, every job is handled with care and precision. Their workshop is designed to deliver tailored solutions that keep machines operating and projects progressing.
A notable feature of the EHS offering is their Service Exchange Program. It provides a smarter, faster alternative to purchasing new parts. Rather than waiting for components to be repaired, customers can access a ready-to-install reconditioned unit from the EHS exchange stock. The used component is then rebuilt and returned to the pool, making the process seamless and efficient. This model is not only cost-effective but also reduces downtime, minimises waste, and extends the lifecycle of high-quality parts. Each unit in the program is carefully selected, rebuilt to specification, thoroughly tested, and backed by EHS's stringent quality assurance standards. What Chris has built is far more than a parts business. He has created a comprehensive operation that supports the entire lifecycle of heavy equipment. The company's latest branding reflects this scale. Their campaign features a globe made entirely from parts sourced from their yard, a striking visual that represents the breadth of their reach and capability. EHS is not just stepping into international markets. EHS isn't just participating on the global stage; they're earning their place on it.
Despite their growth, EHS remains closely connected to their roots. The business values people above all, whether it is the clients they serve, the community they belong to, or the employees they've brought on board. EHS has remained selectively lean to ensure the right people are in the right roles, and to foster a culture of passion, precision, and trust. They also continue to support the local community through regular contributions to schools, sponsorships, and donations. EHS is a business with global reach but maintains its local heart.
The rebrand isn't just about appearances; it's about making sure the identity reflects the capability, consistency, and standard EHS brings to the table every single day. Their team genuinely cares, and it shows in every conversation and every solution. Built with pride and driven by a deep respect for the industry, EHS continues to grow while staying true to the values that shaped its beginnings.
