Equipment Hire for
Electricians

Electricians hire from Stanford Hire for mechanical trenching when installing underground conduit, sub-mains, solar battery connections or yard lighting. Our mini excavators cut clean, narrow trenches through Adelaide clay and soil — far faster and neater than hand digging.

Commercial and long-term hire is available with discounted rates on selected machinery from 7 days. We can arrange delivery and collection from site, and selected machines can be prepared to site requirements with relevant high-vis markings, amber beacons/flashing lights and service history documentation.
