Custom Air Group expands footprint with state-of-the-art Wacol site

Custom Air Group, Australia’s leading specialist in sleeper cabin fatigue management solutions, has officially expanded its operations with the opening of a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility in Wacol, Brisbane.

The move marks a major milestone for the Melbourne-based company, reinforcing its commitment to servicing transport operators across Queensland and the eastern seaboard.

Located at 7 Westgate Street, Wacol, the new facility boasts a premium workshop, dedicated display area, and a fully equipped after sales spare parts warehouse – dramatically enhancing Custom Air Group’s logistics and service capabilities throughout the region.

“This expansion allows us to better support our growing customer base throughout the eastern seaboard,” said Justin Liddelow, Managing Director at Custom Air Group. “We’re excited to bring our latest innovations to Brisbane, both through our new branded facility and our presence at the upcoming Brisbane Truck Show.”

Innovation in sleeper cabin comfort

With more than 33 years of industry experience, Custom Air Group is renowned for designing, engineering and manufacturing high-performance sleeper cabin air conditioning systems and sleeper cabin fit outs. The flagship SleepAir system – powered by a fuel-efficient Kubota OC-60 diesel engine – offers optimal cooling with low fuel use and minimal noise, making it the preferred fatigue management solution for interstate drivers.

In late 2024, the company unveiled its Signature Series range of products and designs, delivering premium sleeper cabin customisation options. The new product range integrates advanced features like Redarc superior power products, Google Integrated smart TVs, 23 litre microwaves and the new 60/70-inch sleeper cabinetry designs.

Our latest tech upgrade incorporates a 5-inch LCD touchscreen, cabin control interface allowing drivers seamless access to cooling/heating climate control, lighting, entertainment, and power systems – with the added benefit of Bluetooth connectivity, all controllable via an Apple or Android smartphone.

“You can remotely or locally control the entire system – from start/stop, climate temperature control to your tv, microwave or inverter – and even monitor system diagnostics, all without the use of specialised tooling. It’s truly the next generation for driver comfort and tech advancement,” added Justin.

All systems are Australian designed and manufactured in-house at Custom Air Group’s Melbourne headquarters, ensuring unmatched quality and performance.

A strategic shift in Queensland

With strong customer demand in Queensland, Custom Air Group has moved away from a distributor model and now operates the Wacol site as Custom Air Queensland, led by their General Manager Kurt Dorant and his experienced technical team, consisting of 16 technicians.

“Queensland represents as many installations as we handle in Melbourne. Having our own branded facility here lets us provide faster installations and after sales service, more efficient spare parts and technical support, coupled with deeper customer relationships,” added Justin.

Attendees can explore live demonstrations of the new SleepAir Signature Series Air Conditioning systems and cabinetry technology, you can also meet the team for consultations on our fully customised sleeper cabin solutions.

Justin said, “We’re thrilled to be back at the Brisbane Truck Show. It’s the perfect opportunity to connect with our customers and demonstrate the technology and craftsmanship that sets us apart and into the next generation.”

End-to-end support for Aussie drivers

Custom Air Group’s commitment extends beyond the sale, offering a complete service and maintenance package with nationwide support coupled with the added benefits of recommended service intervals consisting of 300 and 500 hours. All systems are backed by a comprehensive Australia wide warranty.
