Equipment hire is popular with local
contractors and families in the Blue
Mountains region, and the Local Hire Shop
at Valley Heights is kept busy keeping up
with demand.
“Our main road location is great for
visibility and is easily accessible,” owner
Oliver Heymans said.
“Many building blocks are on a fairly
steep gradient, making tracked machines
a practical solution for trenching, digging
and tree stump removal.
"And with the aftermath of the Winmalee
bushfires last season, many people are
taking measures to clear growth close to
their homes.
“Compact equipment is in high demand.
Our Toro trenchers and stump grinders as
well as our Takeuchi mini- excavators have
been an instant winner for us. We spoke
with several other rental companies before
committing to Toro and their positive
experience with this reliable brand under
rental conditions was all the assurance we
needed,” Oliver said.
Top brands pay off for local hire shop
“Toro stump grinders are very easy to use
and have proven popular and productive.
The self-propelled tracked machines are
easy to move anywhere they are needed.
In particular, the Toro STX 38 stump
grinder has been in constant demand.
“For situations where tight space
excavation is needed, our Takeuchi
machines are a perfect solution for many
of our customers. The TB 016 and TB 108
have proven to be reliable and robust
machines that are easy to service.
“The Takeuchi TB 108 has been
particularly popular with plumbers. If
needed, this super compact excavator is
extremely manoeuvrable when it comes to
access around, or even through, a house,”
Oliver said.
Local Hire Shop purchased the Takeuchi
and Toro equipment from Semco
Equipment Sales.
“Semco’s people have outstanding product
knowledge and the service and parts
backup is excellent,” Oliver said.
“We’re glad to have equipment warranties
that ensure our customers can keep
working. If there is an issue, we know
we can get the right support. In the
hire business a good relationship with a
supplier is so important,” he said.
