With a reputation for reducing machine downtime, LK Diesel Services has been appointed as a Victorian authorised dealer for Isuzu Power Solutions
Braeside-based LK Diesel Services has expanded its offering to Isuzu Power Solutions (IPS), after being officially appointed as one of its authorised Victorian dealers.
Now a part of the IPS dealer network, LK Diesel will cover the supply of Isuzu diesel-powered industrial engines, power units, generator sets, replacement parts and repairs.
With several other IPS dealers in Victoria, LK Diesel is the only one that is not also a dealer of Isuzu Trucks – enabling the business to have full focus on Isuzu’s industrial power solutions.
When categorising what IPS covers, LK Diesel’s Bernard Kuhlwind says it’s easier to say what they don’t – such as trucks and cars.
“Isuzu Power Solutions is all about Isuzu engines fitted into machinery, such as excavators, generators and pumps,” he says.
IPS has been trusted by Australian businesses and original equipment manufacturers since 2018, and LK Diesel is just the latest group to join the network.
Kuhlwind says LK Diesel Services is renowned for reducing its customers’ machinery downtime, a reputation that perfectly aligned with IPS.
“We’ve been trusted to deal with Epiroc’s machines at the Broken Hill mines for many years, where they have paid us to send mechanics up there and work on their engines,” he says.
“Whether that’s repairing them, or even just diagnosing faults and removing engines, they trust us to keep their machines going.”
Leading provider of airport ground services and air cargo handling Swissport has also trusted LK Diesel Services to look after its engines – putting LK Diesel in a strong position as a valued dealer.
Now that the partnership has been made official, LK Diesel Services is aiming to spread the word with its customers on IPS, making sure that their machines are powering ahead.
“For any maintenance, Isuzu Power Solutions will recommend us to customers,” Kuhlwind says.
“We hope that the people using Isuzu’s engines in their machinery will trust us too.”
LK Diesel Services won’t be working on IPS reconditioned engines just yet, but is ready to sell new engines.
“If customers can’t source an engine or aren’t happy with their current one from another brand, we can solve the problem with an appropriate Isuzu engine,” Kuhlwind says.
“We will do our best to make sure the customer has their machine up and running as soon as possible.”
