Stephenson’s 8 Wheeler

Stephenson Transport’s new 8 Wheeler tilt tray as it left our workshop a few weeks ago. This truck was delivered by Alaistair MacInnes of CMV’s Clayton branch.

There was quite a lot of hours that went into this one as most items were designed from scratch. Some of the work involved: lighted mirror trims, tank wraps, strap wraps, lighted tank trims & deep toolbox trims with custom lettering to match, centre mount mudguard brackets, drive guards, spray suppressant, Air Kooled exhaust stack, exhaust shroud, AdBlue filler neck modification & bracketry & more….

Check out Slingo Earthmoving’s new Mack Superliner with 40″ Midrise sleeper. This truck was delivered by Darren Aitken at CMV’s Laverton North branch. SLS supplied the stainless which was fitted in Melbourne by Shaun Orchy. There was a second matching truck, a Mack Trident daycab.

Some of the items SLS supplied were: quarter guard mudflap brackets, lighted pre-cleaner covers, bug deflector, 14″ drop visor, easy fit mirror trims, under door cab scuffs with “Slingo” lettering, windscreen strips, custom wing nameplates, cab door handle & peeper window dress trims, lighted and plain tank trims along with wiring harnesses.

Both trucks came up a treat & are a real credit to Slingo & everyone involved.

Off the Jet

This week we had a fascinating little project that came in to be cut on the waterjet. It is a helix gear out of a wind turbine. A couple of these gears have been failing and sample of the metal needed to be sent away for testing. Due to the size of the gear it wasn’t feasible to send the whole thing so we were tasked with cutting out a few chunks – and by chunks we are talking over 50mm thick by over 390mm long which took just over 3 hrs of machine time.

Legend 950 #36

Earlier this year SLS Trucking took on the task of customising #36 out of the 75 limited edition Legend 950’s released by Kenworth. #36 is proudly owned by Betts Bower Haulage Group.

The customisation work completed by SLS was extensive and ranged from bullbar lights, steer flares, drop visor, mirror lights and tank trims through to tandem mudguards, a single tier tow hitch, Icepack installation and everything in between. Work inside the cab included a 40L fridge install with custom cabinet and drawers along with custom Icepack key switch plate and document holders.

The truck then went to Showman Truck Lines and Scrolls where all the pin stripes, scrolls and signage was hand painted by Showy & his team. Owner Daniel Bower commented that he wanted the signwritting to contain the slight imperfections that come with doing it by hand, along with the visible brush strokes.

This is one awesome rig and is a credit to the team at Betts Bower.
