Plant Hire and Equipment Services
Throughout our business, we work in highly competitive areas, for demanding and exacting customers. The common factor across each of our divisions is a focus on earth-moving and groundwork. The four main areas of operation are plant hire, earthworks and environmental engineering, training, and used plant sales.

Plant Hire - Why Greyhound?

The majority of our fleet is less than two years old; newer machines give greater reliablility and can handle the demands of your job better, enabling you to get the work done efficiently and cost effectively. Our machines are from names synonymous with quality: Caterpillar; Komatsu; Volvo and Bell to name a few. Whether it's a dozer, excavator, a dumper, crusher, roller or something else. We provide hi-tech equipment, fully trained operators, full service package, competitive prices, and experienced sales staff who can discuss your needs and give helpful advice.

 

Contracts & Environmental Engineering - Services include:

Bulk earthworks; landfill; land reclamation; drilling and grouting; restoration and reinstatement; open cast works.

Our team is experienced in a wide range of applications, such as bypass work, landfill cell construction and capping, land reclamation and remediation. As a subcontractor we have an extensive catalogue of completed and current works in such diverse areas as flood alleviation works, river allignment schemes, reservoir strengthening works and more.
