Tools and General Equipment hire Australia

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.

What tools and general equipment can you hire?

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:

MachineTypical use
Concrete saws & core drillsCutting slabs, pavements and wall penetrations
Jackhammers & breakersDemolition and concrete removal
Air compressorsPneumatic tools, sandblasting and air supply
Concrete mixers & vibratorsSmall pours and placement quality
Pressure washers & floor toolsCleaning, grinding and surface preparation
Heaters, fans & dehumidifiersDrying, curing and comfort on site

Before you request a quote

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.

Compare offers on the complete configuration: machine, attachments, operator (for wet or dry hire), transport both ways, minimum hours, fuel and return conditions. See how to read a plant hire quote.

Selection factors

Three things that change the answer.

01

Power source

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

02

Consumables

Blades, bits and abrasives are often charged on wear. Confirm the rates before you start.

03

Dust and silica controls

Cutting and grinding concrete needs water suppression or extraction to manage silica exposure.

FAQ

Tools and General Equipment hire questions.

Can I hire tools for a single day?

Yes. General tool hire is commonly daily, half-day or weekend, with weekly rates for longer jobs.

Are blades charged separately?

Diamond blades and consumables are frequently charged by wear or measured on return.

Do I need silica controls when cutting concrete?

Yes. Engineered and natural stone and concrete produce respirable crystalline silica, so use wet cutting or on-tool extraction and appropriate RPE.

Do tool hire companies deliver?

Many do for larger items. Smaller tools are usually collected from the branch.
