Customer Reviews

"The guys on site have been nothing short of outstanding in their capabilities, work ethic and professionalism. We have mostly worked with Clyde, John (currently on holiday) and Robert for site team, however there has always been someone equally capable and dedicated to fill in where needed. There truly doesn’t seem to be a challenge that these lads can’t/won’t rise to meet, and we have thrown some very interesting ones at them to date! This continues upstream with excellent support from Francois and Werner, who have always been extremely prompt on catering to our site needs, understanding the constraints and being absolutely forthcoming with their knowledge and experience (critical for early and ongoing planning), and of course Scotty and Warren have had a hand in logistics planning and filling in where needed. All top blokes! On a whole, Preston Hire NZ have been outstanding from top to bottom helping us deliver what has been dubbed “the most challenging” health care project in NZ. We can’t thank you all enough, and look forward to wrapping this one up and working with you all on the next."
Duncan Cowell
Site Manager | Built Environs
The SuperDeck worked really well - it allowed us to transport some quite heavy items like Gyprock, piping, steel, glass panels and a range of other gear from the ground floor all the way up to the 15th floor.
Tony Scott
Site Manager | Probuild
"We work with very valuable works of art, so we need to have confidence in the people we deal with; Preston Hire definitely inspire confidence and I couldn’t speak more highly of them."
Katrina Arent
Manager | Olsen Irwin Gallery
"Preston Hire’s SuperDeck is simple to use, relatively light, mechanically full proof, requires little or no training and can lift up to 4 tonnes– it really is an ingenious piece of kit."
John Casey
Project Manager, Construction | Brookfield Multiplex
"Whether we are talking about having the latest properly-maintained equipment, the best people and all the correct documentation up to date and on hand, Preston Hire is a company that is serious about both its customer’s safety and its customer service."
Anthony Smits
Site Manager | Devine Constructions
"Without SuperDeck, we’d be having to erect scaffolding and build loading bays - that would not only work out to be more expensive, but it would also take up more time. This way, it was fast, easy and relatively cost-effective."
Andy Maclean
Senior Site Manager | Broad Construction
"Preston Hire has the scope of plant and equipment suited to our needs, but even more importantly they have the specialist knowledge and expertise and always supply skilled crane operators and riggers to ensure the job is done quickly and to our, and the client’s, satisfaction."

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I hire equipment when my company can buy and own it?

There are lots of reasons to hire equipment rather than buy it. Besides the initial purchase cost, hiring is more cost efficient for several reasons, including savings on servicing and ongoing maintenance. You can also save on the hassle of having to find storage space for large machinery – another expensive outlay that bumps up your project costs.

What sort of equipment can I rent from Preston Hire?

Our extensive fleet has an answer to every construction challenge. That’s cranes, loading platforms, props and hoists – everything you need when your project demands heavy lifting. Over 50 years in the industry, we’ve formed strong relationships with industry leaders like Sennebogen, UNIC Cranes, and Maeda, to bring you the best quality equipment hire at affordable prices.

Do you deliver to remote locations?

We’re a leading equipment hire company based in New Zealand. With depots in Auckland and Christchurch, we cover both the north and south islands and can deliver equipment to you, subject to machine availability. We also support customers in Australia’s major cities!
