Equipment Hire on the Sunshine Coast

For machines under 5 tonnes (which covers our full mini excavator fleet), no licence is required in Queensland for dry hire. We'll give you a quick rundown on the controls at pickup if you need it. For larger machines or specific site requirements, check with your local council or SafeWork QLD.

We offer delivery across the full Sunshine Coast from Caboolture to Gympie. Delivery fees depend on your location and the size of the equipment. For many items, delivery is included or very affordable. Call us for an exact quote - we'll always be upfront about costs.

Call us 24/7 on 07 5441 1211 (Nambour) or 07 5443 5900 (Maroochydore). We'll either talk you through a fix over the phone or get a replacement to your site as quickly as possible. Our equipment is regularly serviced and maintained, but if something goes wrong, it's on us to sort it out fast so your project stays on track.

Over 1,000 items across 21 categories including: mini excavators, bobcats, skid steers, posi tracks, dingos, scissor lifts, cherry pickers, generators, compressors, compaction rollers, floor sanders, pressure washers, water pumps, jackhammers, lighting towers, temporary fencing, portable toilets, and trailers. If you're not sure what you need, just describe the job and we'll recommend the right gear.

Yes. Equipment hire payments are generally tax-deductible for businesses as an operating expense. Hiring instead of buying preserves your working capital and keeps your balance sheet clean. We recommend speaking with your accountant for advice specific to your situation.

JC Hire is a dry hire specialist - we supply the equipment, you supply the operator. This keeps costs lower for experienced operators and gives you full control of your project timeline. If you need an operator, we can point you in the right direction.

You have 45 days to return items for a full refund, with or without a receipt. Items must still have their original tags.
