If you’re tackling a coupling like this one and it’s been sitting out in good old Australian dust, do yourself a favour and hit it with an air gun, blower, or compressor first.

Your goal is to get as much dust and rubbish out of the coupling and locking mechanism as possible before you put any kind of liquid on it.
Once you introduce liquid, all that fine dust turns into grinding paste.

A couple of minutes with an air gun can save you a whole lot of headaches later.

Don’t do things by halves.
This ½ inch air coupling had a plug in it, but not the cover - so it only did half the job.

Without the cover, dirt and grit still find their way into the mechanism and sooner or later it’ll bind up and cause problems.

👉 Whack a Blueboy kit on it to save the headache and save yourself replacing parts you shouldn't have to.

Good old fashioned Aussie ingenuity. We love it ❤️

This country is a ripper when it comes to finding solutions, and let’s hope we never lose that spirit.
It's not always a walk in the park, but building something that adds real value and then getting it out into the world is a great feeling.

If you've had the chance to cover your couplings with a Blueboy, we hope its proven its value time over 👍

Cheers

There is a lot of gear being built here in Australia that you don't often hear about.

From farming, agriculture and trucking, there are thousands of skilled Australians designing, building, and keeping our industry moving. Kenworth trucks roll off the line in Vic. Volvo, Mack and Western Star are building in Qld and across the country, trailer manufacturers continue producing the equipment that keeps freight on the move.

For years, while Holdens and Fords were part of the national conversation, truck and trailer manufacturing quietly employed thousands behind the scenes. Right now, it is an industry feeling the pressure.

As Aussie Made Week wraps up, a shout-out to the people in the truck and trailer industry. You're quietly producing much of Australia’s cargo-carrying capacity, and good on you for doing it local.

It's the old system at work, and it's always looked after us.

The gear we work on is critical to business and to supply chains across Australia. That said, there is an operator behind every piece of equipment watching the books and keeping it all in check, especially today!

Good times and the tougher ones, doing our best to keep equipment up and running as cost-effectively as we can.

Two Australian icons at work!

nah! The Kanga has it covered.
Our Blueboys are happy not to be in the limelight, just doing their job, keeping trucks, trailers, and equipment moving.

Plus helping techs like Dillo from swearing less when they need to unhook em!!

Yep, it's Australian-made week, all week, and we will keep on making them locally. Thanks to everyone out there who puts a Blueboy on them, and supports Australian Made. 🇦🇺

Made in Australia too 😀

Have you got a copy of my children’s book “is that my aunty?”
I haven’t advertised it much lately but decided it’s time I start putting more effort into promoting it again.
How can you help? If your kids love the book I’d love to hear your feedback and provide some
Photos or videos that I can use.
Understand a lot of people don’t want their kids faces online which I respect! I’m happy if their faces aren’t in the photos but if you can capture them reading it or photos from behind their heads but with the book in view that would help so much.
This book is self funded, self published and self marketed. Since launching the book has received tonnes of positive feedback but I’ve been slack in saving them so moving forward going to try and do better.
Appreciate all your ongoing support 💕

If you've ever had to replace a seized-up 1/2" air coupling, we know it wasn't the $ in parts you were worried about.

DOWN TIME! - It's what drove the creation of the Blueboy, seeing the impact of downtime on a business in transport.
And the fix didn't need to be overly complicated.

You can see how they work...and that's one less headache for you when it comes to your truck, trailers and combinations.
