Big old trees, heritage streets, and line running through both

Ballarat has a tree problem that most cities do not: the good kind. The avenues are mature, deliberately planted and protected, and a lot of them have had overhead line threaded through them for a century.

That combination is the whole argument for an insulated tower. You cannot take the tree out and you often cannot get an outage, so the work has to be done from a rated machine, at height, beside live conductors, without damaging a canopy that the city cares about.

Add a heritage streetscape where the kerb, the median and the building line all matter, and set-up becomes as important as reach. The 24 metre machine goes up and over, which is often what a protected canopy actually requires.

The three that matter most

Why hire your tower from us

You already know the machines. You’re paying good money to have one on site — so the real cost to you is downtime: a truck that arrives late, a truck that breaks, or a truck that hasn’t been looked after. Our job is making sure you get the maximum use out of that machine and never lose a day to it.

Fast truck

A week’s notice and you’re working

Tell us the job. Give us about a week and there’s a tower on your site, certified and ready to earn. One recent client rang us on the Friday and was working with our truck by Monday morning.

Kept right

Maintenance is where it starts

Every truck is on a strict inspection and safety schedule, and most of that work is done in-house by our own people. It’s what we’re known for — machines turn up certified, clean and ready to work.

And if it does go wrong

A breakdown is our problem, not your lost day

Phone diagnosis, same-day repairs, a mechanic out on site — and if your truck has to come away, there’s always a replacement ready to go. That’s simply how we work, not a favour you have to earn.

Why hire an insulated EWP in Ballarat

What the work usually looks like here

Mature-tree pruning and removal near overhead line, both municipal and private. Heritage building and facade access where a scaffold is disproportionate to the job. And rural work out through the Pyrenees and Moorabool, where the line runs a long way between poles and the ground under it is rarely flat.

The articulated machines matter here. Reaching up and over a canopy without driving through it is the difference between a clean job and an argument with the council.

You always get a replacement tower.

If your machine has to come away from you — a breakdown, a repair, a scheduled service, its recertification — there’s always a truck ready to go, so your crew stays on the job. It might not be the identical model to the one you’ve been running, but there will always be a machine there to keep you going, and you won’t be sitting around waiting on it. That isn’t something you negotiate for or earn over time — it’s how we work with every hirer, from day one.

Cherry picker & EWP hire process

Talk. Match. Deliver.

Getting a tower off us is straightforward. We start by talking through the job you’re taking on — the trees, the access, the height you need and how long you need the machine for. From there we match you to the right tower out of our own fleet, go through the contract with you so you know exactly where you stand, and get it onto your site certified and ready to earn.

01.

Tell us the job

Tell us what you’re cutting, what the access is like and how long you need a machine for. We’ll know straight away which tower suits it.

02.

We match the tower

We put you on the right machine out of our fleet, confirm what’s available, and go through the whole contract with you before you commit to anything.

03.

It’s on your site

Give us about a week and your tower is on site — serviced, certified and ready to earn from the first day. No waiting on someone else’s workshop.

The core of it

When something goes wrong, you keep working

Anyone can hand you a truck on a good day. The real question is what happens on a bad one. With a large hire company a breakdown means you park it up, go home and wait — days, sometimes weeks — while you hire elsewhere at short-term rates out of your own pocket. That is not how we operate.

01

We get you on the phone immediately

Between us — arborists, mechanics and auto electricians who have been operating and repairing these machines for decades — there is very little we haven’t already seen. Most of the time we talk you through the fix there and then.

02

If it can’t be fixed on the phone, we know the right people

We have trusted contacts right around Melbourne who specialise in these machines. Years of them maintaining our own fleet means they make room for our clients the same day — or our own mechanic comes out to you.

03

If the truck won’t move, we swap it out

You don’t organise a thing. Our heavy-haulage contacts collect the truck and we send a replacement straight out: call us at midday, tower into Melbourne by around 2pm, your crew back at work the next morning.

04

If it’s a bigger repair, you still don’t wait

You get a replacement tower on the spot while yours is being repaired, however long that takes. And on wear-and-tear breakdowns we cover the running around ourselves — no charge to run a truck down to you.

Real example

A job that shows the difference

A protected avenue tree with line threaded through the canopy, on a street where the council would not accept damage to the crown. A straight telescopic machine could reach the height, but only by working up through the tree.

The articulated tower went up and over instead, putting the basket in above the work and outside the canopy. The pruning was done to the arborist’s spec, the tree was not driven through, and there was no argument afterwards — which on a protected tree is most of the job.

Ballarat EWP hire — common questions

Can you work on protected or significant trees?

We hire the machine that makes careful work possible — an articulated tower reaches over a canopy rather than through it. The permits and the arborist’s method statement are between you and the council; if you want the work done as well as the machine supplied, take it as a wet hire and our crew does it.

How close to live conductors can it work?

The towers are insulated and rated for live-line work, and are electrically tested every six months in our own workshop. The approach distances themselves come from the network operator and from the ticket your operator holds — we supply a machine that is rated and certified for the conversation.

Do you hire to councils and contractors, or only to trade?

Both. A good part of our work is with councils, utilities and their contractors, and the certification paperwork travels with the machine so a site induction is straightforward.

Ready when you are

Tell us the job. We’ll sort the tower.

Give us a call and tell us what you’re doing and how long you need it for. We’ll tell you which tower suits, what’s available, and how quickly we can get it to you.
