We have a large fleet of machinery, vehicles and equipment available, each designed for specific tasks. We can help you choose the right one for your job.

Tippers
We have 2-tonne, 6-tonne and 12-tonne tippers ready to work for you. The heavy duty trucks can carry bulk materials like aggregate, crushed rock and soil to or from construction sites.
Septic Vacuum Trucks
Our vacuum trucks can handle liquid and sludge clean-ups, making them perfect for septic tank and grease trap pump outs. Our small truck will hold up to 4KL (4,000 litres) while our larger vehicle has a 6KL capacity.
Vacuum Excavation Truck
By using high-pressure air or water to control soft excavation, our Hino Ring-O-Matic 6KL truck can eliminate the risk of damaging underground services. Once the soil has been sucked through a vacuum hose, it can be deposited in a tank to be disposed of or returned to backfill the hole.
Harben Trailer Jetters
We have small and large hydro jet drain cleaners, which use a Harben designed combination of high pressure and low flow technology. We have available a sewer/stormwater drain cleaner on a 15-tonne truck, one mounted on a 2-tonne truck, and a smaller, trailer-based unit.

FAQ
What does wet hire equipment include?
Wet hire equipment refers to machinery supplied with a qualified operator rather than equipment hired on its own. This arrangement ensures the machinery is used safely, efficiently and in accordance with site requirements. Wet hire is commonly used for specialised or high-risk equipment where experience is essential. It can also reduce downtime by ensuring the operator is familiar with the equipment and the task.
When is wet hire more suitable than dry hire?
Wet hire is often more suitable when a project requires specialised machinery or technical operation. It is commonly chosen for complex works, tight access sites or locations where safety and compliance are critical. Wet hire can also be beneficial when internal resources or licensed operators are unavailable. This option helps ensure work is completed efficiently and in line with site regulations.
What types of projects commonly require wet hire equipment?
Wet hire equipment is frequently used on civil works, plumbing infrastructure projects, drainage installations and sewer maintenance tasks. It is also common on construction sites where machinery such as excavators, vacuum trucks or jetters are required. Projects in remote or regional areas often rely on wet hire to ensure reliable operation and transport of equipment. The approach supports projects that require precision, safety and experienced handling.
