Plant & Equipment
HBG secures exclusive plant hire rates through our network of equipment partners. Whether you need a machine on its own or a complete wet hire package with one of our operators, we deliver the right gear to your site — fast and at the right price.
The HBG Advantage
Why juggle separate hire companies and labour agencies? HBG brings it all together. Dry hire a machine at our negotiated rates, then add a skilled HBG plant operator — ticketed, inducted, and ready to go. One invoice, one contact, zero hassle.
Machine type, size, site location, and start date. We respond same day with availability and pricing.
We lock in the best-priced machine from our partner network and pair it with a qualified HBG operator if required.
Machine and operator arrive inducted and work-ready. Managed end-to-end by HBG with digital dockets and consolidated invoicing.
Machine + Operator
Hourly rates below include machine and a qualified HBG operator. All rates are excluding GST. Minimum hire and transport charges apply. Contact us for a firm quote tailored to your project.
