Access Equipment Hire Gold Coast
We have a variety of access equipment available for customers across the entire Gold Coast area!
There are many tasks that can be made easier with the right access equipment. It’s not only convenient for painting a home’s exterior or trimming trees, but also gutter repairs and wiring installation. Our vertical man lifts, scissor lifts and other equipment offers greater security than you’d get from a conventional ladder, as well as helping you reach greater heights.
Why hire your own access equipment?
There are many reasons you might choose to hire your own equipment. Not only is it much more affordable than hiring a professional to perform the job, but it also allows you to complete jobs to your personal specifications. Access equipment is particularly important for jobs where you need to reach something many feet off the ground, such as the upper floor of your home or the canopy of a tree. We also have ladder rentals for those who have less strenuous tasks, meaning we can accommodate jobs large and small.
If you’re ready to set up a time for delivery of your access equipment or other landscaping and building supplies, then feel free to give us a call or send us a quick message. If you aren’t sure which type of lift would be better for your upcoming project, our experts can help walk you through the entire process to determine what equipment would be your ideal option.
We service the entire Gold Coast area, including Reedy Creek, Alstonville, Bonogin, Nerang, and surrounds. You’ll find we carry top brands like Honda, STIHL, Marines and others.
Vertical Man Lifts:
Our vertical man lifts are ideally suited for warehouses, retail spaces or anywhere space is tight. They fit into smaller areas better than comparable machinery. We offer vertical man lifts at a fraction of the cost of other hire services.
Scissor Lifts (Electric):
Our electric scissor lifts are battery powered and require no special licensing to operate. They’re ideal for outdoor construction projects, as they provide a self-propelled working platform for painting, sign installation and more.
Scissor Lifts (Diesel):
These scissor lifts are run using readily available diesel fuel (a staple on many job sites). They’re self-propelled and provide a firm working surface while performing jobs such as maintenance of signs, roofs and other off the ground installations.
Trailer Mounted Booms:
The trailer-mounted booms are ideal for uneven ground and other trickier installations, especially those that require an off-road vehicle to reach. They’re perfect for tree work, electrical wiring and jobs that require multiple points of access.
Knuckle Booms:
Our knuckle booms will give you a greater range of movement to get into hard-to-reach areas since they can go up, in, out, and over, unlike conventional lifts. They’re ideally suited for use in construction, tree lopping, and other high-up tasks that require a little extra manoeuvring for a solid reach.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of access equipment can I hire on the Gold Coast?
Access equipment hire on the Gold Coast includes a range of machinery designed to assist with working at heights or in difficult-to-reach areas. Common options include scissor lifts, boom lifts, and man lifts, each suited for different types of tasks. Whether you need equipment for construction, maintenance, electrical work, or warehouse operations, there are rental options to meet various project requirements.
How do I choose the right access equipment for my project?
Selecting the right access equipment depends on several factors, including the height you need to reach, the weight capacity required, and the terrain of your worksite. For example, scissor lifts are ideal for vertical access in stable environments, while boom lifts offer extended reach in multiple directions. Consulting an equipment hire provider can help you choose the most suitable option.
Do I need a licence to operate access equipment?
Some types of access equipment, such as boom lifts over 11 metres, may require an Elevated Work Platform (EWP) licence or a high-risk work licence. It is essential to check local safety regulations and ensure that all operators are trained and certified before using hired access equipment.
Can I hire access equipment for short-term or long-term projects?
Yes, most Gold Coast equipment rental companies offer flexible hire options, allowing you to rent access equipment for a few hours, a single day, or on a long-term basis. Whether you need equipment for a short maintenance task or an extended construction project, rental periods can often be tailored to suit your needs. Discussing your project timeline with the rental provider ensures you get the best arrangement.
Is delivery and pickup available for the hired access equipment?
Many access equipment hire providers on the Gold Coast offer delivery and pickup services, ensuring the machinery is transported safely to and from your site. This service is particularly useful for larger equipment, such as boom lifts, which may not be practical to transport independently.
What safety measures should I follow when using access equipment?
Safety is critical when using access equipment, and all operators should be familiar with proper procedures, safety checks, and operational guidelines. Key precautions include wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), securing harnesses when required, performing pre-use safety inspections, and ensuring the equipment is stable before operation.
What happens if the hired equipment breaks down during use?
Reputable Gold Coast equipment rentals include maintenance and support services in their hire agreements. If the equipment malfunctions or breaks down, contact the rental provider immediately for technical assistance or a replacement unit. It’s always best to check the rental agreement for breakdown policies before hiring equipment.
Are there any weight limits for access equipment?
Yes, different types of access equipment have specific weight capacity limits, which include the combined weight of operators, tools, and materials being used. Exceeding the weight limit can compromise safety and damage the equipment, so always check specifications and choose machinery suited to your requirements.
Can I hire access equipment for indoor and outdoor use?
Yes, many types of access equipment are designed for both indoor and outdoor applications. Electric scissor lifts and vertical man lifts are suitable for indoor use as they have non-marking tyres and lower emissions, making them ideal for warehouses, shopping centres, and offices. Diesel-powered boom lifts and rough terrain scissor lifts are built for outdoor environments, offering greater stability on uneven or sloped ground.
How much does access equipment hire cost on the Gold Coast?
The cost of access equipment hire on the Gold Coast varies depending on the type of machinery, rental duration, and additional services such as delivery or insurance. Smaller equipment like scissor lifts may have daily hire rates, while larger equipment may cost significantly more. It’s best to request a quote from the rental provider to get accurate pricing.
