Across Queensland and northern New South Wales, civil and infrastructure projects continue to expand in scale and complexity. From road upgrades and bridgeworks to renewable energy and water systems, these projects demand careful coordination, efficient delivery, and dependable machinery. Meeting deadlines while managing regional terrain, shifting weather patterns, and dispersed job sites requires flexible equipment solutions.
Moreover, the upcoming Brisbane 2032 Olympics are accelerating demand for construction resources across the region, with major venues, transport upgrades, and urban development pushing timelines tighter than ever.
For both councils and contractors facing these pressures, dry hire options have become essential to manage costs, access the right gear, and respond quickly to changing site needs. This is particularly critical in regional areas where equipment supply chains can be limited and Olympic-related projects compete with existing infrastructure demands.
With over 50 years of industry experience, earth gear supports these civil and infrastructure projects across QLD and northern NSW through a reliable hire fleet and responsive service. Let’s explore how earth gear partners with crews and councils to deliver dry hire support that’s practical, local, and ready for the challenges of the jobsite.

A hire fleet that keeps up with today’s jobsite demands
Civil and infrastructure projects across QLD and northern NSW demand equipment that performs reliably under pressure where every hour of downtime can ripple into thousands in lost productivity, missed deadlines, and penalty clauses, especially for time-bound projects like Olympic upgrades or council roadworks.
earth gear’s dry hire fleet is built to meet these high-stakes expectations, offering a full range of excavators, site dumpers, rollers, attachments, and site support machinery designed to withstand rigorous use while keeping projects on schedule.
With one of the newest hire fleets in the country, earth gear helps crews reduce the risk of breakdowns to prevent costly delays. Better fuel efficiency and modern safety features ensure that contractors maximise productivity while minimising operational risks and fuel expenses, critical for tight-margin projects.
Importantly, the fleet meets specifications for Tier 1 builders and government-led projects, where compliance and performance are non-negotiable. Before each hire, machines undergo thorough servicing and condition checks, guaranteeing they’re not just ready to go but optimised for peak performance from day one.
Compatibility across a range of attachments means crews can adapt to shifting requirements overnight, switching from trenching to grading without waiting for additional gear. From urban Olympic builds to remote roadworks, earth gear delivers the dual advantage of reliability and agility, ensuring operations stay on track even when plans change.
Backed by 50 years of industry expertise
Civil and infrastructure projects across QLD and northern NSW gain significant advantages by working with hire partners who understand local environments, constraints, and timelines. These benefits come from eliminating equipment ownership costs, avoiding maintenance responsibilities, and receiving immediate breakdown support, allowing teams to focus on project delivery rather than equipment management.
With over five decades in construction and plant hire, earth gear brings practical, experience-led solutions to every jobsite. We know regional terrain intimately. We’ve successfully navigated countless regulatory requirements. Whether it’s challenging site access or last-minute compliance checks, our team provides field-tested solutions that prevent delays and improve planning accuracy.
Beyond equipment, our precision quoting, optimal equipment matching, and expert logistics define our support model. Clients receive gear specifically suited to their project needs, delivered when and where required. No guesswork. No wasted time.
Thanks to our long-standing relationships with builders and councils enable us to identify potential issues early. For contractors, this means more than just equipment rental, it’s a true partnership that keeps infrastructure projects moving forward on schedule and within budget.
4-hour breakdown promise that keeps projects moving
Unplanned breakdowns can disrupt even the most carefully managed civil and infrastructure projects across QLD and northern NSW. To combat this challenge, earth gear offers a 4-hour breakdown response across key service areas—ensuring crews stay on track despite unexpected setbacks.
This rapid-response capability is backed by a reliable network of mobile technicians, ready-to-dispatch replacement parts, and a service process that prioritises urgent jobsite needs. When issues arise, teams simply contact earth gear’s support crew to activate a swift resolution, minimising idle time and preventing costly delays.
While every machine undergoes rigorous pre-hire servicing, we recognise that emergencies still happen. That’s why our breakdown promise exists: to provide more than just equipment, but uninterrupted productivity—a critical advantage when deadlines loom and margins are tight.
Supporting contractors, councils & tier 1 builders
earth gear partners with diverse stakeholders across civil and infrastructure projects in QLD and northern NSW. Our clients range from regional councils to Tier 1 builders delivering landmark developments and independent contractors handling subdivisions or land clearing.
While each group faces unique challenges, they all require equipment that adapts to their specific needs. To meet these demands, we provide flexible hire terms, job-specific attachments, and delivery services tailored to local conditions. For example, whether a project needs a grader for rural road upgrades or a tracked loader for new transport corridors, we try to match our offer to meet your unique requirements.
Consistent support ensures every client receives the same high-standard service. Smaller crews benefit from the same job-ready equipment and rapid backup support as large commercial teams, creating equal opportunities for regional projects.
While we don’t provide formal approval workflows or documentation for council procurement, we do offer quality machines and attachments that help avoid delays once your project begins. At earth gear, we understand the common hurdles in construction, especially around council processes and builder compliance. Our team’s experience means we’re ready to support your project promptly and efficiently to help avoid further delays. That’s why councils and builders continue to trust earth gear for time-sensitive jobs.
