Long-term hire
Some machines carry a published long-term rate. Where one applies in this category it is named below, with its minimum hire period. Shorter hires are quoted for your hire period.
A knuckle boom, or articulating boom, folds so the platform can go up, over and back down again. That is what gets a worker past a roof line, over machinery or into a courtyard the machine itself cannot enter.
Measured across the machines currently available for hire in this category. Where a specification is not recorded we leave it out rather than estimate it.
Counted from the machines listed below, each one currently available to hire.
Platform height plus about 2 m for a person on the platform. Indicative, and not a safe working limit.
The platform floor at full elevation. The feet figure in a machine name is this one.
How far out from the machine the platform will work, at the capacity the manufacturer states for that position.
Measured across the machine. Add a working clearance before comparing it to an opening.
What the floor, the ground and the trailer have to carry.
People, tools and materials together.
Downloadable from each machine page for your SWMS.
The figures customers decide on, side by side. A cell reading "Ask us" means the specification is not recorded for that machine, so we confirm it from the manufacturer sheet rather than print an estimate.
Decision panel
The seven questions from every machine page, side by side, each answered from that machine’s own verified specification. 3 figures are still to confirm with the hire team.

A Confirm mark means the decisive figure is not on that record. Open the machine for the full seven-question panel and its manufacturer sheet; we never guess a specification.
The three things that decide whether a machine can actually do your job, answered before you get to the quote form.
Compacted site ground and hardstand for the diesel machines, sealed surfaces for the electric ones. Articulated reach moves the load around under the machine, so a level, firm set up position matters more than it does for a straight lift.
Measure the entry and the set up footprint, then tell us what the platform has to clear. An articulating boom is chosen for the obstruction, so describing the obstruction is what lets us size it.
A boom type elevating work platform with a boom length of eleven metres or more needs a High Risk Work Licence in NSW. Boom length is not the same figure as working height, so the height on a page does not answer the licence question on its own.
Below that threshold, and in addition to a licence above it, sites expect recognised EWP operator training, commonly asked for as a Yellow Card, plus a site specific induction and a harness for boom work.
Ask us for the boom length of the machine you are considering. We confirm it from the manufacturer sheet, not from the working height.
Our depot is at Berkshire Park in Western Sydney and we deliver across Sydney and throughout NSW. Delivery is quoted with the hire, by suburb, access and the transport the machine needs, so you see one figure rather than a surprise on the invoice.
Tell us the tightest access width and whether a tilt tray can reach a firm, level unloading point.
No machine in this category is currently approved for depot pickup. Approval needs a verified machine weight and a trailer rated to carry it, and where we do not hold both we deliver on our own truck instead of letting a customer find out on the ramp.
Written by the people who deliver and service these machines.
Answer a few quick questions about the job, the height, the ground and the tightest opening. We match it against the recorded specifications of every machine we can verify, and show you what fits and what does not.
Answered from the recorded specifications of the machines above and from the rules that apply in NSW, not from a general article.
Working height across the knuckle boom lifts we hire is 11.55 to 20.3 metres. Working height is where your hands reach, which is about two metres above the platform floor. Platform height is the deck itself, and it is the smaller figure in every specification.
Recorded machine width runs from 1190 mm to 2290 mm. The narrowest machine here is wider than a standard 820 mm internal doorway, so it needs a double door, a roller shutter or a wider opening. Measure the clear opening rather than the door frame, and tell us the tightest point on the whole route in.
Between 5400 kg and 10700 kg for 5 of 8 machines here; the others are not yet recorded. Weight decides two things: whether the floor or ground carries the machine, and what has to be on site to unload it. Ask us for the figure for a specific machine if a slab rating or a suspended floor is involved.
Platform capacity is 227 kg to 300 kg, and that figure includes the people on the platform as well as their tools and materials. Where a machine has a deck extension, the capacity on the extension is lower than the capacity on the main deck.
Not in this category. Pickup is only approved where we hold a verified machine weight and a trailer rated to carry it, and no machine here currently meets both. These are delivered on our own truck, with delivery quoted by suburb.
By suburb, access and the transport the machine needs, quoted with the hire so you see one figure. Our depot is in Western Sydney at Berkshire Park and we deliver across Sydney and throughout NSW. Tell us the tightest access width and whether a tilt tray can reach a firm, level unloading point.
Tell us the job, the working height and the suburb. We will recommend the right machine and quote delivery with it.
