The WA Fabricator Trusted by OEM Dealers and Tier 1 Mining Contractors across Australia
When a machine goes down, waiting on global supply chains adds to the cost of downtime. Weld East fabricates replacement components for a broad range of Caterpillar machines from our 3,000sqm workshop in Hazelmere, WA.
Every component is drawn up by our in-house drafts team, engineered from physical parts using 3D scanning and built to current Australian Standards, which are among the most rigorous safety standards in the world. Over 40 years, we’ve built an extensive drawings library across the Cat range, continuously refined to reflect the latest safety requirements. That means every part leaving our workshop is designed with operator and maintenance crew safety at the forefront. Not just replicated, but improved.
Trusted by major mining contractors across WA, NSW and QLD.

Cat 793F
400t Ultra-Class Haul Truck
Weld East’s most established range. We supply walkways, platforms, fenders, and structural components, including AHS-ready configurations standard across Australian mine sites. Configurable to site specific requirements.
Cat 793D
400t Ultra-Class Haul Truck
Fabricated replacement components for the Caterpillar 793D, including cab walkways, platforms, and fenders. Supplied to major mining contractors across WA, NSW and QLD.
Cat 793C
400t Ultra-Class Haul Truck
Replacement walkways, platforms, fenders and structural components for the Cat 793C. Parts for discontinued machines can be hard to source. Keep older fleet operational with fabricated replacements. Weld East fabricated replacements are a reliable alternative.
Cat 789D
195t Mining Haul Truck
A workhorse running across iron ore, coal, and gold operations throughout Australia. Weld East has an established fabrication history on this model, supplying walkways, platforms, and structural components to major contractors across WA.
Cat 785D
150t Mining Haul Truck
One of the largest installed fleets in Australian mining, with machines spread across multiple commodities and states. Weld East fabricates walkways, platforms, and structural components for the 785D, with supply history across Tier 1 contractors.
Cat 777G
100t Mining Haul Truck
Found on haul roads, as water carts and bare chassis applications across Australian mine sites. Weld East supplies walkways, platforms, and structural components for the 777G, including configurations for water truck variants common across WA operations.
Cat 992K
Wheel Loader
With the 992K now superseded by Cat’s current 992 model, supply for structural components becomes harder to source over time. Weld East fabricates fuel tanks, stairways, walkways and handrails for the 992K in-house, keeping machines in service without relying on global supply chains.
Cat D10 / D11
Mining Dozer
Large dozers that are pushed to the limit across Australian mining operations, with walkways, platforms and handrails requiring periodic replacement as part of scheduled maintenance. Weld East fabricates access components for both the D10 and D11, engineered to Australian Standards and supplied to contractors across Australia.

FAQs
Are these genuine Caterpillar parts?
No. Components manufactured and marketed by Weld East are not genuine OEM parts and are not authorised or approved by Caterpillar. They are fabricated replacement components developed entirely from our own in-house drawings, used as an alternative by mining contractors across WA, NSW and QLD. CAT part numbers are referenced for identification purposes only.
Will your parts fit my machine?
Every component in our range has been engineered from physical parts and drawn up in-house by our own draftspeople. Contact us with your machine serial number or CAT part number to confirm.
What finishes are available?
Standard finish is 2-pack polyurethane CAT Yellow applied over a primed substrate. Components are also available primed only, or gloss black (N61). Site-specific colours available on request.
What does AHS-ready mean?
Autonomous Haulage System (AHS) ready means the component has been designed and fabricated to accommodate the additional sensor hardware, mounting points and clearances required for autonomous operation.
What's the lead time?
Lead times depend on the component, model, and current production schedule. Components within our standard drawings library typically move faster. For components requiring additional design work, lead times will be confirmed at the time of enquiry.
