🚜 FLEET FEATURE: GPS FINAL TRIM GRADER

Ever wondered how we get surfaces that precise? 👇

Our GPS Final Trim Grader is designed to deliver pinpoint accuracy on every pass. Using advanced satellite technology, it automatically controls blade height and position to match exact design levels - no guesswork, no rework.

What does that mean on the ground?
✔️ Smoother, more accurate finishes
✔️ Faster project delivery
✔️ Less material waste
✔️ Consistent results across the entire site

From road construction to large-scale civil and mining projects, this machine plays a critical role in achieving the high-quality outcomes our clients expect.

It’s not just a grade - it’s precision in motion.

𝐃𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐑 𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 | 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐋𝐄𝐘

From one grader to 140+ machines. That's the journey of Stuart Bentley who has built Essjay Contracting from the ground up with one mindset:
👉 Back your decisions.
👉 Take ownership.
👉 Deliver, every time.

What started in 2012 as a single machine and Stuart as the only operator, is now a team of 100+ delivering across some of Australia’s toughest projects.

For Stuart, it’s simple:

“𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵. 𝘕𝘰 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘴. 𝘕𝘰 𝘨𝘢𝘱𝘴. 𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘶𝘱 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦."

And while the projects have grown, these key points haven't changed
🦺 Safety comes first
⚙️ Technology drives precision
👷‍♂️ Good people make the difference

🔥We also put Stuart on the spot with a few quick-fire questions and no surprises, his answers reflect the way he works 👇

He’s backing night shift over early starts and it’s grader over dozer every time.

The industry? He sums it up in one word: challenging. But it’s also what keeps him driven.

When it comes to the future, it’s the technology coming through that excites him most.

Off the clock, it’s a BBQ over a pub feed and he’d take a remote site over a local job without hesitation.

And if you’re wondering… smoko is sorted with a chicken toastie 🥪

ANZAC Day

Today we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice and service of all Australians and New Zealanders who have served.

On ANZAC Day, we reflect on the values of resilience, mateship and commitment. These are qualities that continue to shape our nation and the industries that build it.

We remember those who served, those who continue to serve, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Lest we forget.
