Where it works
Best-fit jobs and sites
- Atriums and tall internal spaces, high racking and warehouse services, electrical and mechanical work at height on firm floors.
Good to confirm: 3,393kg at 40ft — confirm floor loading before working at height. Hard standing only. An online listing cannot replace a site assessment, so tell us the job and we will confirm suitability.

Transport
Getting it to site
Swipe
Delivered by us
Quoted by suburb, machine and access. We plan the truck, the unloading space and any overhead hazards before the run, tell us about docks, tight driveways and height limits when you book.
Customer pickup, confirmation required
Customer pickup has not been confirmed for this machine. Delivery is always available and is quoted together with the hire; if you would rather collect, ask the team and they will confirm whether a trailer combination is approved for it.
Logistics
Delivery, access and running
What we need from you, and what we take care of.
Swipe
Delivery
Quoted by suburb, site access and transport requirements, the machine and the delivery are quoted together for your dates.
Tightest access width
Tell us the narrowest gate, doorway or gap the machine must pass through and we will confirm the fit before it is loaded.
Licence and competency
Scissor-type EWP. No high-risk work licence required in NSW; EWPA Yellow Card (SL) accepted competency.
Hire period
Hire runs from delivery or pickup until off-hire is confirmed. Rates are quoted for your dates, suburb and machine together, see our hire terms for responsibilities during the hire.
Not sure it will fit?
Send your suburb, your dates and the tightest access width. We will confirm the machine and quote the delivery with it.
Power
Charging this machine
Battery electric, charged from a normal household power point.
Swipe
Maintenance-free batteries
Sealed and maintenance free: no topping up with water, no battery servicing to arrange during your hire.
Charges from a normal 10 amp wall plug
The charger is onboard. Plug it into any standard 10 A / 240 V power point, no three-phase, no site power upgrade and no separate charger to hire.
Overnight charge, full day’s work
About 8 hours from flat. Runtime on the day depends on battery condition, drive distance and lift cycles, so tell us if the job runs long shifts.
Keeping it charged on site
- Confirm a live, accessible power point near where the machine parks overnight. A machine left away from power starts tomorrow flat.
- Plug in at the end of every shift, not “when it gets low”. Topping up at breaks helps on heavy days.
- Charge in a ventilated area and keep the charger and lead dry.
- Zero emissions and quiet running, so it suits indoor, occupied and after-hours work.
Safety
Pre-start checks, every day
Every Equip Hire machine is function-tested before it leaves the yard. The operator still checks it before each shift, tick these off as you go.

Tag it out and call us on 0472 721 234. Never operate a machine with a known fault, we will repair or swap it.
What counts as the record
Ticking here is a memory aid on your phone, nothing is stored. The machine’s own logbook and pre-start check sheet are the record. Based on the manufacturer’s daily check requirements and SafeWork NSW guidance for this kind of equipment.
Site prep
Before it arrives
Five minutes of checking here is what keeps a delivery from becoming a return trip.
Swipe
1
Measure the route, not the door
Every gate, corridor and lift on the way to the work area. Handles, hinges, bollards and stored materials all eat clearance.
2
Confirm the floor
A ground-bearing slab is fine. Suspended slabs, mezzanines and raised floors need the wheel loads checked against the floor rating.
3
Clear the work zone
Overhead services, sprinkler heads and light fittings at working height, and an exclusion zone for people below.
4
Make delivery space
Room for the truck to stop and unload safely. Tell us about docks, driveways and height limits when you book.
5
Find the power point
A live outlet near overnight parking so every day starts on a full charge.
Avoid
Mistakes we see weekly
The things that most often send a machine back or hold up a job.
Swipe
Booking on ceiling height
Measure to the actual task height, then choose the machine. Nothing added “just in case”.
Using the nominal door size
An 820 mm door leaf is not 820 mm of clear opening once the stop and hardware are counted. Measure the gap.
Assuming it can cross a bit of lawn
Wheeled machines rut turf and bog in soft ground. Say so when you book and we will send a tracked machine.
Leaving inductions to delivery morning
Shopping centres and managed sites need the paperwork approved before the truck arrives.
