Brian James Eco Plant 2
Brian James Eco Plant 2 plant trailer — the trailer we tow our compact scissor lifts on, available with an approved customer pickup.
Overview
About the Brian James Eco Plant 2 Plant Trailer
The Brian James Eco Plant 2 is a twin-axle plant trailer built for moving compact machinery: a full-width loading ramp, a flat bed and tie-down points sized for a small scissor lift or tracked machine. Equip Hire runs these to deliver machines around Sydney, and they can go out on hire to approved customers who want to collect and move a machine themselves. Towing capacity, licence class and the tow vehicle are checked before any customer pickup is approved — the trailer, the machine and the vehicle have to add up.
Features
What sets it apart
- Full-width loading ramp
- Flat bed with machine tie-down points
- Twin axle
- Runs as our own delivery trailer, so it is maintained in fleet
Where it works
Best-fit jobs and sites
- Collecting a compact scissor lift yourself; moving a machine between sites on the same job; short local plant movements where a float is not warranted.
Good to confirm: Approved customer pickup only — we check the tow vehicle, licence class and towing capacity first. Load restraint is the tower responsibility. Machine and trailer combined weight must be inside the vehicle rating. An online listing cannot replace a site assessment, so tell us the job and we will confirm suitability.

Delivery, access and running
Pre-start checks, every day
Every Equip Hire machine is function-tested before delivery, and every operator still checks the machine before each shift. This is the baseline we use; the machine's own logbook and check sheet govern.
Walk around
- Tyres / tracks, wheels and structure: damage, cracks, leaks
- Scissor stack / boom, pins and hoses: no visible damage or hydraulic leaks
- Decals, capacity plate and rails in place; gates close properly
- Work area: overhead power lines, holes, slopes, other traffic
Power on
- Fuel level, engine oil and coolant
- Ground and platform controls both operate correctly
- Emergency stop and horn work from both stations
Function test
- Raise, lower and drive at low height before working
- Emergency lowering: know where it is and that it works
- Tilt / overload alarms not showing faults
Any fault: tag it out and call us on 0472 721 234. Do not operate a machine with a known fault. Based on manufacturer pre-start requirements and SafeWork NSW guidance.
Before it arrives
- 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.
- Confirm the floor. Ground-bearing slab is fine; suspended slabs, mezzanines and raised floors need the wheel loads checked against the floor rating.
- Clear the work zone. Overhead services, sprinkler heads and light fittings at working height; exclusion for people below.
- Delivery space. Room for the truck to stop and unload safely. Tell us about docks, driveways and height limits when you book.
Mistakes we see weekly
- Booking on ceiling height instead of the actual task height. Measure to the work, then add nothing "just in case".
- Quoting the nominal door size instead of the clear opening. An 820 mm door leaf are not 820 mm once the door stop is counted.
- Assuming the machine can cross "a bit of lawn". Wheeled machines rut turf and bog in soft ground; say so and we'll send tracks.
- Leaving induction and permit requirements to delivery morning. Shopping centres and managed sites need paperwork before the truck arrives.
