We bring the machine to you.

Wherever the job is — Melbourne, or anywhere else in Victoria — the tower is delivered to your site, and it stays looked after there. Troubleshooting, servicing, recertification and, if it ever comes to that, a replacement machine all come to you as well. You tell us the address and the start date.

The machines

What we can send to Melbourne

Insulated towers from 12.8 m to 24 m, every one rated for work near live conductors and electrically tested every six months in our own workshop. Click any machine for its full specification, reach diagram and downloadable spec sheet.

What you are hiring

The tower, and the workshop behind it

A tower rated to work near live conductors is only worth hiring while the paperwork behind it is current. Every machine we own is electrically tested every six months, inspected with the covers off every three, and load tested annually.

The certificate travels in the cab rather than sitting in our office — and that is the part you cannot see in a photograph, but it is the part that decides whether the machine is still working in week six.

Rated for live work

Insulated upper boom, insulated bucket liner, tested to the rating on the plate. Tell us what you are working near and we will tell you which tower is rated for it.

Tested every six months

Electrical test twice a year, a covers-off inspection every three months, an annual load test, and the ten-year major inspection tracked from the build date.

Six trades in one workshop

Arborists, mechanics, auto electricians, boilermakers, hydraulics and spray. Nothing waits on an outside booking, which is why a fault gets fixed rather than queued.

Wet hire or dry hire

Take the machine on its own, or take it with a ticketed operator and a groundie. Long hires can start one way and switch to the other.

Three months and up

Most of what we do is a long hire on a programme of works, priced for the length of the job rather than by the day.

A replacement behind it

If the machine ever has to come away from you, another one comes out. That is how the hire works from the first day, not a favour you earn.

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.

On site

The work we come into Melbourne for

Powerline clearance and street-tree work for councils and their contractors, substation and switchboard maintenance, tram and rail corridors, building and facilities work, and the storm clean-up that follows a bad night.

Almost all of it is work somebody has already put inside a No Go Zone. The approvals still come from the asset owner and the ticket still comes from your operator. What the machine does is make the job legal to attempt.

Why it matters here

Your client does not care why the machine is down.

Metropolitan Melbourne is demanding work. The people paying you — councils, distribution businesses, infrastructure owners, facilities managers — run to a programme, and they have options.

A week lost to a machine is a week they notice. It is not a conversation we have to have on your behalf; it is one you have to have, with a client you would rather keep.

So the whole way a hire runs here is built around you never having that conversation. We get you on the phone first, because most faults are talked through and solved in a few minutes. If it needs a look, somebody comes and looks at it.

And if the machine genuinely has to go in for repair, a replacement tower comes out so your crew is on the job the next morning. Being on the job is the whole product.

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.

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.

Maintenance & safety

How we keep the trucks right

This is the bigger job, and the one you never see: keeping every truck right in the first place. Every machine we own is on a strict schedule, and most of that work is done in-house by our own people.

Every 3 months

Full safety inspection. Every cover comes off — pins, bushes, hoses, legs, tyres and wheel bearings all checked.

Every 6 months

Electrical test. Confirms the truck is still safe to be working with and around live power lines.

Every 12 months

Load and weight test. Confirms the boom, basket and legs still carry their rated load safely.

10 years from new,
then every 5

Full engineer-signed recertification — boom stripped, crack-tested, rebuilt, repainted and re-plated.

Under our own roof: two diesel mechanics · a full-time auto electrician (30+ years’ combined experience) · a spray painter & fibreglass repairs · hydraulic specialists 5 minutes down the road · structural crack-testers on site by 7am when we need them · our certifying engineer.

We keep the trucks clean and painted for a reason. Cutters tend to favour the passenger side of the truck when they’re working, and over time that puts most of the stress through one side of the machine — which is exactly where cracks can start to appear. A clean, painted truck is one you can actually read, so a hairline crack shows up the day it starts rather than months later. Between that and the three-month inspection, we stay on top of anything before it ever becomes your problem.

What we run

The machines

Insulated towers from 12.8 to 23.5 metres, all rated for live power-line work — the taller, specialised machines a lot of hire companies simply don’t carry. Standard hire is a minimum of three months. For a quick one-off job, wet hire is the way to go: truck plus an experienced operator, no contract.

Real examples

Two jobs that show how it works

A car hit the truck. Back working in five days.

A client near Warburton had a car crash into the leg of his tower. We had structural testers on it the next morning, found hairline cracks right through the leg, fitted and re-welded an entirely new leg and had it signed off — back out in about five days. He had a replacement truck on the spot the whole time, so he kept working right through it.

His saw failed. We kept him cutting.

A long-term client’s brand-new hydraulic saw — the type that runs off the bucket — failed with internal seal trouble three days in, and he was stuck waiting on a warranty claim with the job still running. We sent one of ours down with his truck so he could keep working at no charge to him. That’s the point — our job is keeping you working.

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.

Getting it to you

Ninety minutes from the edge of Melbourne

We have been putting machines into Melbourne for years, and we sit about an hour and a half from the edge of it. That is close enough for a delivery to be quick, and close enough that if anything needs attention somebody is on the road the same day rather than a job going onto a waiting list.

And a job outside the metro area is not a problem either. Melbourne this month, the north-east or the Western District the next — the tower goes there, and so does everything that keeps it running. Being based outside the city is exactly what makes the rest of Victoria easy for us to say yes to.

What actually turns up. The machine drives to your site under its own power. It arrives serviced, with its current electrical test certificate in the cab, and we walk your operator through it before we leave. Most metro jobs can be on site within the week.

Working across the city

Insulated EWP hire right across Melbourne

We cover all of Melbourne — the west, the north, the east, the south-east and the bay side, from the CBD out to the growth corridors. Tell us the address and the start date and the tower is delivered to that site, whichever side of town it is on.

The work that brings us in is powerline clearance and street-tree work for councils and their contractors, substation and switchboard maintenance, tram and rail corridors, commercial and industrial building maintenance, and the storm clean-up that follows a bad night. Nearly all of it sits close enough to live conductors that an insulated boom is the only machine that makes the job legal to attempt, which is why the rating and the current test certificate matter more than the day rate.

Permits, road occupancy and traffic management come from City of Melbourne and the other councils across the metropolitan area rather than from us, so it is worth a call before anybody is booked. The ABS profile for the area and the general background are both public if you need them for a submission.

Machines are prepared, tested and loaded at our own workshop before they leave, and the same workshop is what stands behind them for the length of the hire.
