Mega Mechanics
Mega Mechanics is a new series following Australia's best mechanics as they tackle some of the biggest machines and the biggest challenges of maintaining and repairing them.
Mega Mechanics
It's fifty Mega Mechanics versus five stories of mighty coal mining machines during a multimillion dollar maintenance shutdown. A blown heat exchanger needs a creative solution at the sugar mill if they are going to finish the season on schedule.
Mega Mechanics
The Mega Mechanics are forced to call in the big guns to help shift a massive 16-cylinder, 12-ton engine out of a Caterpillar 793 truck. Meanwhile, an A330 engine undergoes a high-pressure test, and cracked train wheels undergo a much needed shave.
Mega Mechanics
The Mega Mechanics go into high gear with a massive bucket wheel gearbox change, a stubborn bolt and threatening weather may leave it swinging in the wind. And a mysterious liquid on another gearbox at a coal mine has the Mega Mechanics turn detectives.
Mega Mechanics
A landing gear pin has the team struggling to get a colossal A330 off the ground, and it's a mighty service on massive off-road trucks at the mine shop. Another truck is broken down and blocking work while a massive bucket reclaimer needs some new teeth.
Mega Mechanics
A mighty metal bucket wheel is out of action at the largest coal export facility in the world, bulldozers are in pieces and their tracks torn apart in the mining hub of Mackay and a 130-ton train is sounding alarms on the jacking road in Brisbane.
Mega Mechanics
The installation of a new 10 million dollar jet engine in an A330 aircraft sees an intricate support and bracing technique used, while work on a 550 ton excavator means 24 hours of preparation all comes down to an install that must happen.
