From preparing samples to moving heavy loads, the right equipment starts with finding the right supplier.

This month, we’re welcoming two new suppliers to IndustrySearch, bringing more choice across laboratory equipment and cargo handling.

**Thermo Fisher Scientific:** Laboratory equipment for research, testing and sample processing, including centrifuges, incubators, laboratory ovens, biological safety cabinets and cold storage solutions.

**Kalmar:** Cargo handling equipment for ports, terminals and industrial operations, including forklifts, reachstackers, terminal tractors and empty container handlers.

Thank you to both suppliers for joining IndustrySearch. We look forward to connecting your teams with Australian buyers sourcing equipment for their next project or upgrade.

Diesel prices jumped nearly 19 cents a litre in just one week.

Across Australia’s five largest cities, the average reached $2.87 a litre on 23 September.

High international diesel prices have been a major driver of the latest rise. Earlier increases also followed the staged return of fuel excise in July and August.

For businesses running diesel machinery, that puts more pressure on margins and makes fuel economy harder to ignore when making that next purchase

A more fuel-efficient truck or machine can help reduce diesel use over time. Tell us what you need and compare up to three supplier quotes through IndustrySearch.

- Q3 2026

The headline this quarter: buyers showed more interest in equipment for sites and transport.

Borrowing remained expensive, temporary fuel relief ended, and running costs remained high. Those pressures were particularly relevant to equipment used on sites and on the road.

Yet investment in those sectors continued. In the June quarter, ABS figures showed machinery and equipment investment rising 17.7% in construction and 27.8% in transport.

The IndustrySearch enquiry mix shifted in a similar direction.

Construction, earthmoving and transport gained share compared with Q2 with workshop equipment and fixed plant held broadly steady.

Choice matters when the equipment needs to suit a specific job.

This month, IndustrySearch has expanded its supplier network across two important areas: commercial vehicles and outdoor power equipment.

We’re pleased to welcome:

Northeast Auto Group: New and used commercial trucks for transport, construction and fleet applications, including pantechs, tippers, tray trucks, curtainsiders, beavertails and prime movers.

The Mower Supastore: Outdoor power equipment for commercial landscaping, property maintenance and site work, including mowers, chainsaws, brushcutters, generators, sweepers and pressure cleaners.

A big thank you to both suppliers for joining IndustrySearch. We’re looking forward to helping more Australian buyers discover your products and find equipment that fits the work ahead.

A used truck can cost less upfront. But one major repair, weeks of downtime or missed work can quickly wipe out that saving.

A new truck costs more, but for equipment that needs to earn six days a week, warranty coverage, predictable servicing and a specification suited to the job can reduce the unknowns.

But commercial trucks are expensive, and for many businesses, a used model is the only option that fits the budget. If new is the better fit, equipment finance can spread the cost and make that added reliability more affordable.

IndustrySearch makes it easier to weigh up your options.

Submit your workload, specifications, budget and finance needs once to receive up to three quotes from verified Australian suppliers and finance options from 60+ lenders.

Compare the price, condition, inclusions, warranty and support available. Then choose the new or used truck that best suits your business. 🔍

Because the right truck is one your business can afford to buy and rely on to do the work.

A new Workplace Exposure Limit for diesel particulate matter takes effect from 1 December 2026. What does that mean for your warehouse?

The limit is 0.01 mg/m³, averaged over an eight-hour workday.

Diesel particulate matter is used to measure exposure to diesel engine emissions. It can build up where diesel forklifts, trucks or generators operate in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas.

Diesel equipment isn’t being banned. But where exhaust can build up, you may need to assess exposure and strengthen controls through ventilation, filtration, changes to operations or lower-emission equipment.

What you buy matters. The right solution depends on your site layout, operating hours and ventilation, not just the equipment specification.

IndustrySearch connects you with verified suppliers, helping you compare suitable equipment and quotes for the way your warehouse operates.

After submitting an equipment quote request, buyers still have questions.

What price range should they expect? Which part of their configuration affects the price most? How could the purchase be funded?

That is where Izzy comes in.

Watch our AI buyer assistant use the details already provided by the buyer to give them an indicative price estimate and answer questions specific to their requirements.

In this IndustrySearch call, the buyer requested a 3 to 8 tonne excavator and asked which part of that configuration affected the price most. Izzy explained the reasoning behind the estimate, rather than simply providing a figure.

She can also explain EasyAsset Finance solutions if the buyer wants to explore funding, helping them consider the equipment and how they could finance it in the same conversation.

It is a faster first step, backed by the human support buyers need as their enquiry progresses.
