Formed in 1994, the City of Bayside includes the southeast suburbs of Beaumaris, Black Rock, Brighton, Brighton East, part of Cheltenham, Hampton, Hampton East, part of Highett and Sandringham. Recognising the challenge of reaching diverse community groups, especially those in aged care and childcare, Bayside Library Service aimed to bring library services directly to them. With the added hurdle of navigating inner city traffic and parking limitations, a solution was needed to transform a small van into a space-efficient mobile library.

St John Ambulance (Victoria) was established in 1883 with the intention of teaching First Aid to the public, and since then has become an integral part of Australia’s emergency health services
The Victorian division identified the need for a mobile training vehicle that could be used to demonstrate first aid, in particular CPR, at shows and public events. The concept put forward to VQuip was for a mobile van that could act as a hub for group gatherings which incorporated the latest interactive technology and could permit high levels of audience involvement.

Evolving from grass roots fire brigades to one of the world’s largest volunteer-based emergency service organisations, the Country Fire Authority (CFA) plays a pivotal role in community safety. With a diverse fleet of fire stations and trucks, including tankers, pumpers, all-terrain, and aerial appliances, CFA needed a specialised servicing solution to ensure operational readiness. To implement a new maintenance strategy, CFA embarked on a trial program using a lightweight, purpose-built vehicle capable of traveling to larger trucks and appliances for on-the-spot repairs.

At VQuip, we thrive on challenges that push the boundaries of innovation. Fresh Dentistry approached us with a unique vision – a complete on-the-go mouthguard fitting office. Recognising the need for a mobile solution that combines comfort and functionality, we enthusiastically accepted the challenge.
