Operating across a range of industries, including the industrial, commercial and resource sectors, the company is driven by a commitment to excellence and a passion for innovation.
Scope Australia has big plans for the future, and it intends for its longstanding partner, Gorski Engineering, to be part of those plans.
Established in 1975, Gorski Engineering is Australia’s pre-eminent manufacturer of premium tipping trailers and tipping truck bodies.
Scope Australia’s relationship with Gorski began six years ago, when Scope Australia’s director John Kennedy needed a body built for an ex-Linfox Freightliner Columbia prime mover.
“I remember dealing with Ken [ Gorski ] and Alex [ Powell ] for each build in the early days,” John says.
“I still have that Freightliner Columbia — all my staff learn in it before they move up to higher positions within the logistics side of the business.”
Today, Scope Australia has 10 Kenworth T410 SARs, pulling PBS Hardox tri-axle trailers, but Gorski has built the company over 18 units in total.
“As units get older, we replace them to ensure no downtime,” Kennedy adds. “That way, our brand stays strong within the market.”
Kennedy says Gorski trailers are built tough, and he’s never had a problem with their durability or reliability.
“I feel that with a lot of feedback, refinement and help, Scope Australia and Gorski Engineering have refined the perfect build together.
“We will continue our innovation into the future.”
The adaptability of its Gorski-built fleet has equipped Scope Australia to take on some more challenging projects.
“We have been able to take on some long-standing, tier one major projects due to the versatility of our Gorski PBS fleet being able to cart tonnage, but still be versatile when bulking big exports in the mud,” Kennedy says.
“This ensures we maximise each load, not only for us but for our valued clients.”
Another major reason Scope Australia has stuck by Gorski is its turnaround times, which are second to none.
“I have had turnaround times for new builds presented to me by some of Gorski’s competitors, and the competitors’ turnaround times don’t work if you want to make money.
“Gorski’s turnarounds on a new build work for my business.
“It’s consistent with every build, to ensure the unit is on road and making money as quickly as possible.”
Going forward, Scope Australia hopes to refine and grow its business, with help from Gorski.
Gorski thanks Scope Australia for its long-lasting relationship and loyalty over the years.
“We know that Scope Australia has big plans, and we like the way they do business,” says Sheridan Godwill, Gorski’s sales manager.
“We enjoy every collaboration we are involved with. We have seen Scope Australia grow and prove their stronghold on the market as an industry leader through innovation and attention to detail.
“Gorski Engineering is proud to partner with Scope Australia and continue this legacy.”
