Build - Farm - Mine With GW Industrial

GW Industrial had its’ first beginnings in 1982. Current owner and director, Shelley Walsh purchased the company formerly known as Geoff Walsh Engine Parts from her father in 2007.

Five years later, the automotive division was sold to Burson Auto Parts and the rebranded GW Industrial, focused on supporting the industrial sector. Build - Farm - Mine was born.

The business takes pride in their commitment to excellence and services a wide range of industries in Mackay and the Bowen Basin, offering the highest quality parts from trusted brands.

GW Industrial is more than just a shop for engine parts. Whether you’re a farmer, a fitter, or a tradie, the team have got you covered. With an extensive inventory boasting an immense rang from water pumps to pistons, gaskets and goo, they will ensure that you find exactly what you need for your equipment or next project.

With a combined forty-five years of industry knowledge at GW industrial, the team are trained as spare parts interpreters specialising in industrial sales, and will go the extra mile to get you the right parts at the right time. They will keep you moving, whether it’s a machinery breakdown on a mine or a scheduled tractor service on your farm.

Preparing for the worst is never easy, but GW Industrial take the pressure off by supporting you to be prepared for storm season.

In addition to stocking parts for diesel engines, tractors and industrial equipment, GW Industrial sell a wide range of generators, from quiet petrol inverters suitable for camping to diesel-run units for complete power back-up solutions. Every box is ticked, including breakdown parts and servicing requirements such as filters, fanbelts, oils and additives.

In preparation for storm season, it is important to run your generator dry until you are finished using it and regularly change the fuel out, using a fuel additive for the best results.

A common mistake is buying a generator too big or too small for your needs. Overloading your generator will kill it, while running it under load for an extended period will also shorten its life. Talk to the team who understand power at GW industrial.
