COMMUNITY | MACA Ride to Conquer Cancer®

At MMT we are proud to play an active role in supporting the community, both in the form of charity support and supporting the communities and people that support us.

Sponsorship, being a visible form of community support, allows us to stand behind the communities and people that support us. These include sponsoring footy clubs in the North of our state to other sporting organisations throughout Perth.

Recently we have pledged support to the MACA Ride to Conquer Cancer® cause through sponsoring a number of riders. This event, running over two days and covering 200 kilometres provides benefits to the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.

This institute is one of Australia's leading adult medical research centres, where a team of world-leading doctors, researchers, scientists and clinicians work hard to fight against major diseases that impact our community.

The MACA Ride to Conquer Cancer® specifically directs funds to "support cancer research, acquire new equipment and facilities, and retain experts to lead this vital work."

Soundproofing your Vehicle

We've talked about ourselves being "Problem Solvers" for a while now, and we are still living up to that moniker.

When a customer recently brought in their Toro Groundsmaster 4700-D and asked us, "Can you make it quieter in the cab", it was a job that we jumped at as we hadn't worked with lawnmowers before. With the number of cars that we had stripped and refitted over the last 25 years, we knew we’d need to employ a similar approach, it's just that working with such a different vehicle would make the job more interesting. To get the result our customer was after, we stripped the cab and put in 3mm Dynamat sound absorption material all around the interior. Once we finished the cab, we moved outside the vehicle and affixed a skip plate underneath the unit, in addition to installing Dynamat material on the engine cover. This reduced the overall noise being experienced at the operator’s ears by 50 dB, which is what you would expect to hear from large electrical transformers at 100 feet, or if that example is too obscure, think of the sound of a fridge at close range. As decibels are measured in a logarithmic fashion, small increases in measurement can be huge in the real world. Consider the difference between an alarm clock at 80dB and an ambulance siren at 120 dB. For our customer, and the operator, a reduction of 50 dB is significant over the course of a working day.
