Built on Experience. Driven by Progress. Powered by People.
DRHL Heavy Equipment may be a new name, but it’s the continuation of a story that began more than 30 years ago.
Our roots trace back to Jap Truck Care, a family-run business trusted by truck owners, operators, and transport fleets across Tasmania for dependable, hands-on expertise.
From day one, the mission has remained the same: Keep trucks on the road longer, running stronger, and working smarter.
From Jap Truck Care to DRHL: A New Chapter Begins
As the transport industry has evolved, so have we.
Modern trucks demand modern solutions — advanced diagnostics, electrical expertise, and specialised knowledge of systems such as EGR, DPD, and AdBlue. To meet these demands, we expanded our capabilities, upgraded our technology, and broadened our focus from Japanese brands to full-line heavy vehicle servicing.
The move to DRHL Heavy Equipment represents more than just a name change.
It’s a commitment to becoming a complete service and repair partner for all truck brands and heavy equipment, while staying true to the values that built our reputation.
A Family Business with Big Vision
We are proud to remain independent and family-owned.
This means we answer to our customers, not a franchise. It also means we can focus on honest advice, fair pricing, and a workplace where technicians are valued and respected.
We believe that when people are supported to do their best, customers receive their best work.
That’s the foundation of our success — and the reason so many fleets trust us year after year.
