Kennards Hire provides the equipment—and the confidence—needed to make your job easy. But the true scale of their extensive equipment range might surprise you. Customers are often surprised to learn just how much gear Kennards Hire has to offer.
According to Auckland Area Manager, Nigel Annear, “Kennards Hire has over 14,500 uniquely traceable assets available for hire across the country, with substantially more when including our bulk product ranges.” This impressive range of equipment demonstrates the company’s commitment to being a reliable one-stop shop for tradies, contractors, and project managers alike.
It’s not just about the numbers, though—it’s about what these numbers mean for customers. From digging up a backyard to managing construction sites or tackling major infrastructure projects, Kennards Hire has the equipment you need to keep every project moving.
The Auckland Central Rail Link (CRL) project is a perfect example of how Kennards Hire delivers exceptional support for large-scale initiatives. A project of this magnitude requires collaboration across a wide network of experts and suppliers, and Kennards Hire’s extensive range of equipment has played a crucial role.
Nigel highlights this, saying, “It isn’t just one branch with general hire equipment that supports CRL—it’s a whole network. From our dedicated Project Manager to local branches and our wider specialist branch network, everyone plays a part in delivering a great solution backed up with quality equipment.”
When precision, expertise, and reliability are essential, the Kennards Hire team understands what’s required to get the job done. Success isn’t just about providing the right equipment—it’s also about the seamless teamwork between branches and personnel, ensuring projects of any size are completed smoothly and efficiently.
With solutions that range from general tools to specialist categories such as Lift & Shift, Concrete Care, Pump & Power, and Traffic the company ensures that no customer is left without the equipment they need. This equipment diversity makes Kennards Hire an invaluable resource for professional and personal projects alike. Whether it's laying a foundation, managing traffic flow, or executing precision measurements, Kennards Hire’s unrivalled range simplifies the process, making it a true one-stop shop for equipment hire.
Innovation is another way that customers are seeing a difference in fleet solutions. Nigel pointed out that one of the most exciting new equipment additions is the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
"With three sizes now in our fleet, sites of all sizes have the ability to reduce their fuel consumption when powering their sites via generators."
Why does that matter? It’s simple. These systems deliver lower fuel consumption, translating to cost savings and reduced emissions – all while maintaining exceptional performance. It’s a small switch that leads to big savings, for both your budget and the environment.
The team at Kennards Hire understands that having the right equipment is key to nailing your projects, knowing that confidence comes from more than just the tools in your hand—it’s about having a team that’s got your back every step of the way.
So, when you hire from your locally-operated branch, you’re not just getting equipment—you’re getting a support network of experts who are ready to share their knowledge and help you succeed.
