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.

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