Thanks Frank, John and team. I hired one of your 1.7 tonne excavators this past weekend and your communication and service can’t be faulted. The machine (excavator) worked a treat.

The equipment we hired was perfect for the job, the blokes explained how to use it and we had no problems. Thanks so much, made my life easy.

Vermont hire was amazing. I hired a scissor lift which did the job really well and everything from hire to drop off and pick up went really smoothly and staff so easy to talk to. Definitely five star.

The best hiring shop in the east! Rick was extremely helpful and the staff are very knowledgeable. I hired a mini-loader and a compactor for the long weekend for the same price as a normal weekend hire. The Vermont hire team were accommodating as they load up the trailer for you and walk you through how to use the machinery.
Great family business, friendly, helpful and well organised for all your hiring needs.
