Workshop manager Rune Hammerseth at the hose workshop
The workshop at Fjord Base has long been a key resource for the companies on the supply base. Now, with a brand new workshop building spanning over 1,000 square meters, we are also opening our doors to external customers. Here, you will find services covering repair and maintenance of heavy equipment and machinery – delivered by experienced professionals.
– With the new workshop building, we have doubled our capacity and can now offer even faster and more flexible services for both the companies on the base and external customers, says Rune Hammerseth, Manager at Fjord Base Workshop.
Our workshop has everything you need for professional service, including a mobile lifting jack with 40-ton capacity, a dedicated hose workshop, and a modern warehouse. Excellent ventilation, large working areas, and environmentally adapted washing facilities provide secure conditions for both heavy and demanding operations.
– We service all types of trucks, cranes, and machines – including warranty cases for brands we have agreements with, such as Swetruck, among others. The warranty always remains intact, and we work closely with suppliers to ensure the best solutions for our customers, explains Hammerseth.
Our team can assist with troubleshooting, conversions, electronic diagnostics, disassembly, sandblasting, and painting. The workshop has a broad network of suppliers and specialists, ensuring we can source parts quickly.
We offer quality products for oils and lubricants from Texaco, filtration solutions from Ditech Filter, as well as a wide range of hydraulic hoses and components from Dunlop Hiflex.
The workshop also has solid experience in modifying, converting, and building custom solutions for trucks. This includes installation of lighting, hydraulics, crane equipment, and electrical solutions, as well as services such as oil changes and troubleshooting. We handle both scheduled service and repairs on trucks, as well as inspections and certifications in collaboration with Oceaneering. Tire changes and fitting are carried out in cooperation with Førde Vulk, which has developed unique expertise and offers a variety of prominent tire brands.
Our employees have broad and solid experience, providing security for customers and ensuring fast and high-quality deliveries.
The workshop has recently welcomed both a new apprentice and a new mechanic, in addition to a brand new electric service vehicle. With this mobile workshop, we can respond quickly on request – both on and off Fjord Base.
Many people might think the workshop is only for Fjord Base, but our doors are open to anyone in need of professional assistance.
– Everyone at Fjord Base with equipment, but also external contractors and businesses in the region, will greatly benefit from our workshop, says Hammerseth.
The workshop also organizes all necessary inspections and certifications, and can promptly address any issues that arise. With the new building, larger space, and wider expertise, we are ready to support more customers and take on larger assignments.
Fjord Base Workshop is highly competitive in both pricing and response time. If you want to learn more or place an order, feel free to get in touch with Rune.
