Plumbrite Solutions, led by Tyson King, has been a trusted name in earthmoving and excavation for 15 years. With a team of 50 staff and a standardised fleet of eight Komatsu machines ranging from 1.7 to 30 tonnes, the company is committed to efficiency and reliability. To maintain high productivity and site compliance, Plumbrite Solutions relies on SBA’s high-quality attachments, including buckets and quick hitches, ensuring seamless operations across all projects.
Plumbrite Solutions is a locally owned and operated plumbing business based in South-East Queensland. They offer their extensive clientele base the assurance of quality plumbing works, completed by licensed and comprehensively trained staff. Plumbrite Solutions values health and safety, and is committed to providing a safe work environment for all our staff, visitors, clients and members of the public.
The Challenge
Earthworks are a large part of plumbing and one of the biggest and most commonly faced challenges in excavation is working in tough weather conditions, particularly on wet days when the ground becomes heavier and harder to lift. Machine downtime is another key concern, as any weather delay can impact project timelines and costs. Additionally, ensuring all equipment meets industry certification requirements while maintaining optimal performance is crucial for smooth site operations.
The SBA Approach and Solution
To tackle these challenges, Plumbrite Solutions has equipped its Komatsu fleet with SBA’s premium attachments, including our durable buckets and Geith Quick Hitches.
The SBA buckets are designed for efficiency, minimising resistance when digging and preventing material from sticking inside, this speeds up clean-out and overall job completion. The Quick Hitches, maximise the machine’s digging force, and require minimal maintenance, significantly reducing downtime.
The Results
The SBA Experience
According to Tyson King, SBA’s support goes beyond just product quality. “Their sales team always provides expert recommendations, such as custom bucket sizes for specific jobs, ensuring we have the right tools for the task. The after-sales team delivers exceptional customer service, assisting with technical queries, spare parts, and on-site support when needed. This level of service gives us the confidence to operate efficiently, knowing we have reliable support whenever required.”
The Komatsu Experience
Plumbrite Solutions has worked with various machinery brands in the past, but today, Komatsu is their exclusive choice. “We stick with Komatsu because their machines are powerful, efficient, and built to last. We buy them new and push them to their limits throughout their entire lifespan, knowing they’ll perform reliably. Not only do we trust the machines, but we also value the exceptional support from the Komatsu team.”
By partnering with SBA and Komatsu Australia, Plumbrite Solutions has optimised its operations, reduced downtime, and improved efficiency on-site. The combination of high-performance Komatsu machinery and SBA’s premium attachments allows the team to take on demanding jobs with ease. With a newly delivered SBA Bucket Kit for their Komatsu PC88, Plumbrite Solutions continues to invest in equipment that enhances productivity, reliability, and long-term success.
