Lifting Solutions
When you’re on-site and heavy lifting is involved, you need equipment that gets the job done—whether it’s moving plant equipment, lifting steel, or transporting materials to upper levels. The equipment you hire must be reliable, compliant, and ready to deploy whenever necessary.
At Opt Hire, we supply practical lifting solutions designed for Australian jobsite conditions. Everything we offer is tested, tagged, and meets specifications, not just on paper, but where it counts most: in the field.
Built for Australian Site Conditions
We understand that different jobs demand different approaches. Sometimes you have plenty of space and time to plan the lift. Other times, you're working around trades, under time pressure, or in less-than-ideal terrain.
We’ve seen it all, which is why we’ve built our fleet to meet these challenges while strictly adhering to AS/NZS. Our lifting equipment includes:
- Scissor lifts, ideal for vertical access in areas with space restrictions or indoor environments.
- Straight booms (telescopic booms), suitable for extended reach in high-access tasks, especially within open spaces.
- Knuckle booms (articulating booms), great for reaching up and over obstacles with flexible articulation.
- Hybrid booms, eco-friendly alternative that combines electric and diesel power for indoor and outdoor use.
- Trailer mounted booms feature towable access platforms for quick deployment and easy transport.
- Spider booms are both lightweight and compact, perfect for access in tight or uneven terrain areas.
Uncompromising Safety and Performance
Lifting operations come with inherent risks, and everyone on site understands the importance of safety. That’s why it’s essential to use equipment that’s correctly rated, properly maintained, and genuinely fit for purpose. Ours meets that standard. Every unit in our fleet is load-tested, tagged, and fully serviced. If it’s not compliant, it doesn’t leave our yard.
