“Based in Nhill Victoria, Hindmarsh Hire
is a small, busy hire shop.
“With a population of a little over 2000
people, we are certainly not as busy as
some bigger hire yards, but we have a
very consistent regular trade, covering an
area from the Victoria/South Australian
Border in the West, up to Rainbow and
Hopetoun in the North, down South to
Edenhope and we have delivered site
offices and portable toilets as far as
Stawell in the past,” Hindmarsh Hire
Manager Stephen Purchase said.
“But our backbone trade is most certainly
the locals. We are always looking at what
other equipment clients ask for and what
would suit our business,” Stephen said.
Hitachi Construction Machinery Australia
(HCA) has become the sole distributor
of Wenco International Mining Systems
throughout Australia, New Caledonia,
Papua New Guinea and New Zealand
through CablePrice (NZ).
Spitzlift winner decides: keep it or hire it?
“We regularly use the HRIA magazine
(Hire and Rental News) as a reference
source for plant and equipment supplier
details. It’s a great source of information
on how the industry is performing, what’s
new in products or innovations in the
marketplace or simply what has been
going on in the industry.”
Stephen said he decided to try his luck
and enter the ‘Win a Spitzlift’ competition
held prior to the HRIA Convention.
“To find out I’d actually won was an
absolute shock. Now we just have to
decide if we hire out this terrific Spitzlift
Crane very kindly supplied by the Healy
Group, or keep it for ourselves,” Stephen
said. Contact: 03 5391 3336.
