Today we are talking with Chad Brown, the owner and Founding Director of CNC Cartage Transport Solutions.
For 25 years CNC Cartage has helped south-east Queensland builders, and customers from every sort of industry – from moving and lifting reo steel to concrete, and everything in between. The construction and hire industry know who to call for heavy items that need picking up, moving and lifting off a truck.
In his fleet, Chad has Asian and European crane and flat top trucks, semi-trailers and regular cranes. The team at CNC have always prided themselves on quick turnaround, as we all know wasted time means wasted money; but we loved hearing about their pit crew times – one that a Supercar or Formula 1 team would be proud of!

Once Chad became convinced of the significant improvements in tyre wear using Atlas Balance Rings, he came to a very useful time and money saving conclusion.
If he could have ten sets of Atlas Balance Steer Rings on hand at any time in the CNC warehouse; every time a truck would come in, the service crew (or ‘pit’ crew) could take off the wheels, fit the balance rings and replace the wheels – all without the need of booking outside workshops or wheel alignments. They aimed initially to get this done within 10 minutes, but now they have become so good that the time is down to a speedy 5 minutes of downtime. That’s success by any measure!
CNC Cartage is now working through the entire 80-strong Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast fleet. Chad applies smart principles and that’s why he recommends Atlas Balance Rings.

There are a lot of variables in trucks, drivers and applications, but we are definitely getting greater wear out of our steer tyres on all our trucks,” he said.
When it comes to running a business, we all can agree that nothing’s better than saving time and money; and knowing you are getting Aussie-made precision.
