Electric, petrol, diesel, battery or air: match the tool to site power, ventilation and noise limits.

General hire fills the gaps on every project: the tool for a one-day task, a replacement while your own is serviced, or specialist gear you'd rarely buy.
Tools and General Equipment Hire in Australia covers a range of machine types and sizes. These are the most commonly hired, and what each is typically used for:
| Machine | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Concrete saws & core drills | Cutting slabs, pavements and wall penetrations |
| Jackhammers & breakers | Demolition and concrete removal |
| Air compressors | Pneumatic tools, sandblasting and air supply |
| Concrete mixers & vibrators | Small pours and placement quality |
| Pressure washers & floor tools | Cleaning, grinding and surface preparation |
| Heaters, fans & dehumidifiers | Drying, curing and comfort on site |
A useful enquiry tells the supplier what has to be achieved, where the equipment will work and what could change the selection. Include dimensions, quantities, material conditions, dates, the delivery route, unloading area and any site compliance requirements.
