Where it works
Good to confirm: Diesel engine — outdoor use only. 2.21m wide, 3.53m long, 4,935kg — confirm access and ground bearing. Flotation tyres reduce capacity. An online listing cannot replace a site assessment, so tell us the job and we will confirm suitability.
Decision panel
Seven questions, answered from this machine’s verified specifications. 3 still to confirm with the hire team.
A Confirm mark means the decisive figure is not on this record. Send us the site details and we will answer it before quoting; we never guess a specification.
Specifications
Grouped for quick scanning. A row appears once its figure is verified for this machine; anything not listed here is not yet on the record, and the Fit & access panel above marks it Confirm. The manufacturer spec sheet always takes precedence.
Drawn to scale from this machine's stored specifications. The manufacturer spec sheet (below) governs.
Transport
Swipe
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 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
What we need from you, and what we take care of.
Swipe
Quoted by suburb, site access and transport requirements, the machine and the delivery are quoted together for your dates.
Tell us the narrowest gate, doorway or gap the machine must pass through and we will confirm the fit before it is loaded.
Scissor-type EWP. No high-risk work licence required in NSW; EWPA Yellow Card (SL) accepted competency. Diesel site rules apply.
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.
Send your suburb, your dates and the tightest access width. We will confirm the machine and quote the delivery with it.
Safety
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.
Swipe
Tag it out and call us on 0472 721 234. Never operate a machine with a known fault, we will repair or swap it.
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
Five minutes of checking here is what keeps a delivery from becoming a return trip.
Swipe
Every gate, corridor and lift on the way to the work area. Handles, hinges, bollards and stored materials all eat clearance.
Compacted and trafficable beats “looks firm”. Mark soft spots, trenches and services before the machine tracks over them.
Overhead services, sprinkler heads and light fittings at working height, and an exclusion zone for people below.
Room for the truck to stop and unload safely. Tell us about docks, driveways and height limits when you book.
Avoid
The things that most often send a machine back or hold up a job.
Swipe
Measure to the actual task height, then choose the machine. Nothing added “just in case”.
An 820 mm door leaf is not 820 mm of clear opening once the stop and hardware are counted. Measure the gap.
The tyres mark floors and the engine cannot run enclosed.
Shopping centres and managed sites need the paperwork approved before the truck arrives.

Working height, not platform height
This machine is rated at 14.32 m (about 47 feet). Working height is what a person can reach from the platform, not the height of the platform floor. The difference is roughly two metres, and it is the figure most quotes get wrong.
A spec sheet answers what the machine does. It cannot tell you whether it fits your gate, your ground or your slab, so ask us. Two details is enough.
