On Thursday, February 26, Levanta Workshop Solutions, a leading provider of premium workshop fitout solutions in Australia and New Zealand, played host to members of the Australian heavy vehicle industry at its new $15 million headquarters at Heathwood in Brisbane’s south.
It was a rare opportunity for those involved in the industry to see, in one place, how modern heavy vehicle workshop and fleet environments are being designed, built and operated in Australia today.
Rather than a traditional sales or showroom experience, Levanta’s Industry Day was designed to provide practical, real-world insight for members of the heavy vehicle community who are considering future workshop upgrades and developments.
The Heathwood facility is fully operational, which allowed attendees to see service pits under manufacture, and heavy vehicle hoists, brake testing, wheel alignment machines, tyre changing gear, jacking systems, and supporting equipment working exactly as they would in a live workshop.

Guests saw workshop infrastructure solutions from concept and manufacture right through to operation.
Levanta’s technical, compliance and design specialists were on-hand to speak directly with stakeholders from across the industry. And the informal, practical setting proved invaluable as an opportunity for guests to network with their industry peers.
They also had the opportunity to explore Levanta’s brand-new, modern corporate and co-working spaces designed to support the group’s growing operations.
The Industry Day brought together a strong cross-section of industry bodies and suppliers, creating a valuable forum for discussion around compliance, safety, efficiency and future-ready infrastructure.
The Industry Day brought together a strong cross-section of representatives from industry bodies, suppliers and governments including Queensland MP Amanda Stoker and Brisbane City Councillor Sarah Hutton
Among over 100 guests were Queensland’s Assistant Minister for Finance, Trade, Employment and Training Amanda Stoker, Brisbane City Councillor Sarah Hutton, HVIA’s Todd Hacking and Harrison Hunkin, and NTI’s Adam Gibson, who joined local and international suppliers at the grand opening.
Along with Levanta and Garage Equipment, industry exhibitors who attended included the NHVR, Penrite Oils, Michelin Tyres, Armoury Group, Midland Trailers, Makita Tools and Omikron Vehicle Cleaning Products.
Highlights of Levanta’s Heathwood HQ include 4,500 square metres of warehouse and manufacturing space, two five-ton overhead gantry cranes, a 400-square-metre fully operational equipment showroom, a large, dedicated training facility, state-of-the-art offices with plenty of space and loads of on-site parking.
