Kennards Hire has an extensive range of equipment and ability to quickly mobilise that equipment means we can support large construction and mining projects anywhere in Australia.

Knuckle booms, telehandlers, generators and extra high head pumps are a standard part of our inventory. So we’re fully geared up to partner with local councils, government agencies, utilities and civil contractors. We’re proud to have supplied equipment to many high profile projects.

The Lane Cove Tunnel is a key link in Sydney’s motorway network. Kennards Hire supplied lighting towers and barricades, essential for night work in the congested areas around the site which enabled rapid completion of the project.

With work on the Sydney Desalination Plant progressing around the clock, Kennards has provided after hours delivery of lighting towers, air compressors, generators and welders to help the project stay on schedule.

We have substantially expanded our fleet of compaction equipment, especially articulated ride on rollers. These have been essential to the construction of the Heidelberg TAFE campus, due to their superb performance and manoeuvrability.

Our earthmoving equipment was recently put to good use on the roof of Melbourne’s Crown Casino. Two 3.5 tonne excavators and a skid steer loader made light work of removing the rooftop garden. They met the roof’s weight rating but were powerful enough to get the job done fast.

Kennards Hire regularly partners with local councils, and their repair crews rely on us to make their job easy. We supply 4 tonne tabletop trucks which are customised to suit their needs. These include lockable purpose built tool boxes, water receptacles and storage areas complete with hydraulic hammers, quick cut saws and rammers.

We played an essential role in the redevelopment of the Townsville Correctional Centre by providing state-of-the art modular lightweight shoring. Kennard’s Trench Mate system not only protected the contractors who were installing new sewer lines, it also facilitated on the job efficiency.

In South Australia, Kennards provided a multitude of large generators, distribution boards, compressors, hoses, and welders for Geodynamic’s Innamincka Hot Rocks project. We’re also involved in the TransAdelaide Rail upgrade, in addition to supplying 30 light towers for the ABB Grain harvest.

In remote regions like the Pilbara, our compaction equipment played a critical role in delivering rail infrastructure. Rio Tinto’s Mesa J Rail extension and BHP Billiton’s Yandi Mine Rail upgrade faced similar problems of narrow pipe and conduit trenches, which prevented contractor access and the use of standard compaction equipment. Kennards provided remote control rollers which easily compacted the trenches and also achieved signifi cant dust suppression.

As a result of our ongoing capital investment program, and thanks to the size, scale and reach of the Kennards Hire network, you have access to an extensive range of modern equipment regardless of where in Australia you’re working.
