HIRE AND RENTAL NEWS • AUGUST 2014
EQUIPMENT SHOWCASE
When Tamworth resident, Peter Sharpe,
decided he needed a straw shed, he was
surprised with the help he received from
Kennards Hire Concrete Care.
“The shed measures 9x12m and features
straw bales laid in a running bond
pattern, like brickwork,” Peter said. “It’s
all secured with tensioned wire.”
Three rendering coats of sand, lime and
concrete mix were needed to bind the
walls, requiring the use of specialist
equipment. With nothing available locally,
Peter contacted Kennards Hire Concrete
Care’s National Product Manager,
Grid to Go hybrid generator is a solid
state power generator that can be used on
its own, with renewable energy sources
or partnered with a conventional diesel
generator. In combination with external
energy sources, Grid to Go forms the core
of a hybrid power solution.
Working on its own, Grid to Go is a simple
Concrete Care’s solid effort for straw shed
Konrad Stempniak, for advice. Konrad
workshopped the project with Peter and
suggested the Diesel Grout Mixer Pump
(Putzmeister Sp11) and mortar gun.
Travelling six hours to pick up the
equipment from Kennards Hire Concrete
Care in Artarmon, Sydney, Peter was given
a full tutorial on how to operate the Grout
Pump and mortar gun properly.
When it came time to return the piece of
equipment to Artarmon, a Kennards Hire
staff member met with Peter’s wife at a
petrol station halfway between Tamworth
and Sydney to save her driving six hours.

Tony Joughin from Independent Power
Management is launching the hybrid
generator into Australia.
“GtG saves large amounts of fuel, runs
completely silently and has a positive
impact on reducing carbon footprint/

emissions. The unit can be controlled
remotely from a laptop or mobile phone
and live data can be extracted to calculate
the savings achieved when deployed.
