About
Rural Machinery & Mechanical Services
Rural Machinery & Mechanical Services (RMMS) was founded to address a critical gap in Cape York — reliable mechanical support for remote communities where downtime means lost income, missed opportunities, and real hardship.
We're proud partners with Mercury Marine as an authorised service provider, and we're expanding our reach through a partnership with Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council to operate the community workshop. This growth means more local jobs, faster service, and stronger support for the communities we call home.
