Izak has been hard at work on-site putting our field service truck to good use.

Our field service is all about minimising your machine downtime and maximising your productivity.

To make that happen, we've invested in fully equipped service vehicles that bring workshop-level capability straight to your site, wherever the job takes you.

Great work, team 🙌 Whatever the job, our field service team can bring the workshop to your worksite.

Ten down and plenty more to go! ⚙️🙌

We’ve been fully authorised sales & service Volvo Penta dealers for 10 years. That's a decade of customers knowing that when they get a part or service support from Heavy Diesel Support, it's genuinely Volvo Penta and backed by real expertise.

We're proud to carry that dealership title, and ten years in, being local means we can get your machinery and marine craft up and running fast. Nothing worse than a machine holding up production or your vessel stopping a great day on the water. 😅

Making things hum has always been the goal. Ten years in and we’re still all about it.

Here's to the next ten with Volvo Penta. 💪

🔧 YOU’VE GOT THE EXPERIENCE. NOW YOU CAN PUT IT TO WORK!

If you’ve spent years fixing big machinery, solving the problems others couldn’t and know that the best lessons are learned with your hands dirty — we should talk.

We’re looking for a Technical Team Leader to join Heavy Diesel Support Ltd based in Dunedin.

🚜 The variety is huge. Civil, quarrying, forestry, materials handling, industrial and marine — loaders, heavy forklifts, engines, hydraulics and plenty more. No two days are the same!

You’ll lead from the front — supporting the team, mentoring apprentices, solving technical challenges and still getting stuck into the tools.

Our team is humbly confident. We know our stuff, share knowledge, have a laugh and genuinely want to keep improving.

If you’re an experienced technician, senior mechanic, foreman or team leader who wants variety, to work with great people and the opportunity to make a difference — this could be your next move.

And just to be clear…

If you like working really long days and every weekend — this role isn’t for you. 😉

This truck was not built for wooden stadium floors. 😅

Last month we headed down to Invercargill for the NZ Quarry Conference, and that's our service truck sitting on the floor of Stadium Southland. Getting that much weight in without marking the place up took a bit of care, but we made it work.

Three days of talking to people in the quarry industry, hearing what they're dealing with on site, swapping stories and sharing a bit about what we do. At Heavy Diesel Support LTD, we take pride in what you do, and that's what this conference looked like in practice. Every conversation was different, and every one of them was a reminder of why we like this industry.

Thanks to the NZ Quarry Conference team for having us. We really enjoyed being part of it. The quarrying industry is full of great people. We’d love the opportunity to be involved again in the future!

🔧🏗️ When they say a career as a diesel mechanic could take you all the way to the top... they're not kidding! 😲

Just check out these spectacular shots from our technician Shaun this week! 📸 He's been working high above the ground on the site of the new hospital build—and thankfully, heights don't seem to bother him one bit! 😅

At Heavy Diesel Support – Land & Marine, one of our core values is "Thrives on Variety," and this is exactly what we mean. No two days are ever the same. One day we're in the workshop, the next we're supporting major construction projects from dizzying heights, and the day after we could be working across industries such as forestry, mining, agriculture, marine, or materials handling.

It's the incredible variety of work, customers, and industries that keeps our team challenged, growing, and loving what they do. 💪

We're proud to play our part in keeping the lower half of New Zealand humming by supporting the equipment that powers some of the region's biggest industries and projects. 🚜⚙️🚢

Now that's a career with a view! 👀🙌

It's a BIG week in the HDSL workshop… because one of our own is currently living the Volvo Penta dream in Sweden! 🇸🇪👏

Late last year, our Senior Apprentice Izak took out the title of Volvo Penta Apprentice of the Year for Oceania — and this week, that award has taken him all the way to the home of Volvo Penta itself.

Right now, Izak is in Sweden, getting an up-close look at Volvo Penta’s world-class operations for their marine and industrial products, including their foundry, assembly factories, remanufacturing sites and Volvo Penta HQ! Not a bad way to spend the week!

We’re hugely proud of Izak and can’t wait to hear all about the trip when he gets back — and no doubt he’ll be coming home with plenty of knowledge, stories, and inspiration to bring back to the HDSL workshop and our valued customers.

Enjoy every minute, Izak— what an experience!

Isn't the growth of technology incredible?

The development of alternative fuel sources is transforming the way we power the heavy industries that build, move, and sustain our world. 🏗️

As the southernmost Volvo Penta dealer in the world, Heavy Diesel Support Ltd is proud to be part of this journey, bringing world-leading technology and innovation to some of New Zealand's most progressive marine and industrial businesses. It's exciting to see global engineering advancements being made accessible to companies right here in the South Island, helping position New Zealand at the forefront of sustainable industry. 💥

The future of marine and heavy industries are evolving, and it's great to see innovation leading the way!

🔊 SOUND ON! 🔊

If you're scrolling with the volume off, you're missing one of the greatest sounds known to mankind...

A Volvo Penta marine engine powering up! 😍🚤

We could probably listen to this all day. That deep rumble, the blower kicking in and the promise of adventure ahead—it's enough to put a smile on any boatie's face.

Some people have playlists. We have engine notes. 🎶⚓

As an authorised Volvo Penta Marine & industrial dealer, we might be a little biased... but we're pretty confident this is what perfection sounds like.

Go on, hit play and tell us we're wrong. 😎
