Plant Hire Perth

Plant Hire Perth supplies excavators, bobcats and tipper trucks across the Perth metro area, on wet hire (machine plus an experienced operator) or dry hire (machine only, delivered to site). We cover everything from a 1.7 tonne mini excavator for a tight backyard up to a 15 tonne machine for a full site cut, plus earthworks, trenching and drainage, soakwell installs, rock breaking and equipment transport.Our operators are Komatsu-trained fitters who service their own machines, so if something plays up on site we fix it there and the job keeps moving. We’re fully insured, we take calls after hours and on weekends, and we’re often on site within 24 hours.Based in Malaga, working across Perth from Joondalup to Mandurah.

The fleet is where this one is worth reading closely. Excavators run Komatsu from 1.7 tonne up to 15 tonne, with PC18, PC55 and PC138 machines named on the site, and the PC18 mini goes out with a rock breaker and a plant trailer included rather than quoted as extras. Bobcats cover T450, T590 and S590 in tracked or wheeled form with 4-in-1 buckets; skid steers span 1.7 to 4.2 tonne. Around that sits the gear that usually gets hired separately: forklifts from 2.5 to 5 tonne in hardstand or rough terrain, telehandlers 2.6 to 5 tonne with forks, bucket or jib, scissor and boom lifts from 6.3 to 9.8 metres working height, lighting towers with masts to 12 metres, single and three-phase generators, and towable diesel compressors.

Two details suggest the yard is run by people who use the equipment. Compressors are specified on cfm rather than psi alone, which is the number that actually decides whether a tool keeps running. And soakwells are sized to the block and to council rules, not supplied as a standard unit, which matters in Perth where drainage approval depends on the calculation rather than the product.

Hire splits two ways. Wet hire sends an operator with the machine. Dry hire delivers the machine alone to a licensed operator. Beyond straight hire, the business takes on the work itself: site cuts, pads and bulk earthworks, service trenches and drainage runs, rock breaking through limestone and hard digs with a hydraulic hammer, and soakwell supply and install.

Mechanical backup is part of the offer rather than an afterthought. The operators are Komatsu-trained fitters who service their own machines, so a breakdown is attended on site. The business also moves machinery, plant and site gear between jobs across Western Australia, which means a hire can include getting other equipment where it needs to be.
