Equipment Collection & Recovery
Hire equipment collected and returned to your depot, on your instruction.
Equipment Collection & Recovery
Hire and rental companies need their gear back. End of hire, a site that has finished, a contract that has ended, or a customer who has gone quiet. We are the truck, the crew and the handling that gets it collected and back into your yard.
We work on your instruction and to your paperwork. Repossession is licensed work in New South Wales, so where a job needs a licensed commercial agent we bring one in. We hold long standing relationships with licensed agents and contract them directly, which means you get the agent and the truck off one phone call instead of chasing two suppliers and hoping they turn up on the same day.

Your gear comes back the way it left
Hire equipment is your asset, so it travels like one. Wrapped where it needs wrapping, blanketed where it needs blanketing, and strapped to the rails so nothing shifts between your customer’s site and your yard.

Equipment Collection & Recovery questions
What sort of equipment do you collect?
Commercial kitchen and hospitality equipment, plant and tools, event and party hire gear, office and IT equipment, appliances, racking, stock. Tell us what it is and where it is sitting and we will work out the right truck and crew.
Do you handle repossession work?
Yes. Repossession is licensed work in New South Wales, so a job that needs a licensed commercial agent gets one. We contract licensed agents we have worked with for years and run the transport, handling and labour ourselves, so the agent and the truck arrive together off a single booking with us.
Can you collect from several sites in one run?
Yes. Multiple pickups on a single run is normal for us and it usually works out cheaper than booking them as separate jobs.
How quickly can you get out to a site?
Often the same day. Short notice work is what our hotshot service is built around, so call the office and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you unload at our depot?
Yes. We unload and put it where you want it, and we can run the forklift if that is what the job takes.
