When projects change daily, having equipment that adapts can make all the difference. We spoke to James Waerea to discover how he uses the AquaMaster 6000 to give him the flexibility he needs.

James works for Tupore, who are specialists in civil construction and maintenance work including roading, earthworks and general site development. They’ve been operating in Hawke’s Bay for over 50 years and have built a reputation for delivering quality work efficiently.

We asked James to tell us how his team rates the AquaMaster 6000. He started by telling us what originally brought him to use the AquaMaster 6000, and how he uses it now.

“We needed a reliable and flexible water cart setup for dust suppression and compaction on different job sites.

[Now we use it] mainly for dust suppression on haul roads and construction areas, and for assisting with compaction when doing pavement prep and bulk earthworks. It’s also handy for general site watering and wash-downs.”

A focus on the AquaMaster 6000

James reckons that the versatility and ease of use of the AquaMaster 6000 is one of the main appeals for the team at Tupore. When you hire equipment – for short or long term hire – you want to get value for money from it. The AquaMaster 6000 can take on a wide range of tasks so it never needs to sit idle.

“[The AquaMaster 6000 has] been excellent. The spray coverage is wide and consistent, and the flow rate is ideal for both dust control and compaction. It delivers a good even spread of water which helps us get better compaction results.

The controls are simple and well laid out. Starting the pump and setting up the spray system is quick, and the in-cab remote makes it easy to control water flow and spray angles on the move.

It’s reliable, easy to use, and well designed. The build quality and performance have been solid, and it’s proven to be a versatile bit of gear that fits well into our operations.”

Simple controls make it easy to use the AquaMaster 6000 for a range of tasks.

Real benefits from smart design features

The AquaMaster 6000 has been designed to save time and money on the job. It’s not just about maximising productivity by making it easier to get it right first time. The AquaMaster 6000 also includes a range of features like above tank forklift slots that make it quick and easy to use the tank wherever you need it.

James talked us through some of the benefits his team has enjoyed when using the AquaMaster 6000.

“We can move [the AquaMaster 6000] between sites or trucks without hassle, which means less downtime and better use of our equipment. It’s practical and efficient for the type of work we do.

[The above tank forklift slots are] very convenient. Because our trucks are often used for multiple purposes, having a skid-mounted unit we can load and unload as needed saves a lot of time. It gives us flexibility to use the same truck for other work when the water cart isn’t needed.

Keeping dust down is critical for visibility, safety, and environmental compliance. The AquaMaster makes that easy with adjustable spray angles and good water coverage, which keeps the dust under control even on dry, windy days.”

The best service makes everything easier

Allways Hire is committed to delivering the highest quality of service and offering expert advice whenever it’s needed. As well as complimenting the versatility of the AquaMaster 6000, James was quick to mention the benefits of working with a team who are dedicated to delivering great results for their customers.

“The team at Allways Hire have been great to deal with too – good service and quick turnaround whenever we need support or gear.”

Toa Civil Construction is a Civil Construction business based in Hawke’s Bay. Their expertise spans a wide workload, from drainage and stormwater upgrades to roading and big subdivisions. Toa Civil Construction’s customers know that if they need a job done right, and on time, they call Toa Civill. For Jayden Delamere, Site Engineer for Toa Civil, that means he needs a hire company that he can rely on.

“Some days jobs can pop up out of the blue of high importance and at those times you might not have the machinery or necessities you need lying around. So we get in touch with Allways Hire quite often, and the guys always have the gear we need for those sorts of jobs.”

Toa Civil needs to have business partners they can rely on, to allow them to meet the needs of their customers. In emergencies, or if a job changes at the last minute: it’s important to be able to access the right equipment. Jayden can’t always plan the equipment he needs in advance so he relies on a hire company having the right equipment, available whenever he needs it.

“I think it was one of those days where there was an important job that just popped up out of the blue. And I’d driven past you guys that morning and just basically bolted on in and you had the machinery that I needed. Just built a relationship with you guys basically from that day and every time we’ve needed you guys you’ve come through basically.

It’s a partnership where you can sort of rely on the hire company to have the equipment you’re going to need. Like I said, those important jobs that just pop up out of the blue, you randomly need a digger, you guys, your hire company’s always got that machine ready for you.”

Jayden knows that if he needs a digger at short notice; Allways Hire will come through for him.

For Jayden it’s not just about machines being available. It’s also about being able to get them to where he needs them. With a long lead time it’s easy to plan transport – but when a job is urgent you don’t always have a truck or transporter available. Allways Hire’s flexibility – being able to transport equipment if needed – means this is one less thing to worry about.

“If we can we’ll always grab the gear ourselves and take it to site, but, in some cases we may not have a truck or a transporter available at the time: that’s where you guys come in handy. So we search around, see if we do have it available, but there are a lot of instances where you don’t because [the] gear is already accounted for elsewhere, that’s where we’re straight on the phone to you guys.”

The flexibility to have equipment delivered, and the right equipment available when you need it, mean Jayden’s a loyal Allways Hire customer. He worked out a long time ago that he’s saving time and money by hiring equipment he can rely on to get the job done. He’s focused on keeping his customers happy and he’s pleased Allways Hire can help him do that.

“Just easy to deal with and reliability basically. It’s primo – you guys are always in touch with us, always updating us on your new machinery and your rates. Bang on – every time you get a machine it’s in primo condition, the gear’s fuelled up and ready to go.”

Having a hire company you can rely on means you can always access the right equipment for the job you’re working on.

Allways Hire offers construction and roading machinery for hire to customers across Hawke’s Bay, and Master Machinery for hire nationwide. If you’re looking for a hire company you can rely on to help you get the job done: contact us today. Our customers recommend us because we go above and beyond to help them. Call us now and we’ll be happy to help you with your hire equipment needs.

The whole of New Zealand is getting used to bouts of unseasonable and fairly extreme weather. That means preparing ourselves for heavy rain in Winter, heavy rain in Summer, and heavy rain in every season in between.

If your land is being bombarded with heavy rain and rising water levels, you need to be sure you have the right measures in place to allow water to drain away with the minimum amount of damage. If you’re investing in drainage, pipes and culverts to move water where you want it to go; you also need to invest in keeping those pipes and drains clear and flowing.

We caught up with Jonty, the key point of contact at Allways Hire for customers who want to hire Master Machinery from anywhere across New Zealand. He’s been on the road plenty, demonstrating how well Master Machinery works and the value it offers customers from the top of Northland to the bottom of South Island.

We asked Jonty what he thinks of the Master Water Carts and Jetters, and where they’re adding most value for our customers.

Regular pipe and culvert maintenance keeps the water flowing

Jonty works a lot with businesses who are helping farmers, councils and other companies maintain the drainage on their land. The Master Water Jetters (2000L and 4000L) offer a high powered jetter function that blasts pipes clean and washes the interior of the pipe – removing build up and allowing water in the pipe to flow at full capacity. Jonty explains the benefits and how he demonstrates them:

“Part of my role is going out around the country showing customers our Master range of… equipment and that includes our water trailer…and range of water carts.

Clearing out drains is really important for farmers and anyone with blocked culverts. Large volumes of rain, like the recent weather events we’ve had, the drains get blocked and overflow, causing big washouts. Maintenance and repair bills for this increases tenfold.”

It’s cheaper to maintain than repair

It’s fairly straightforward for Jonty to demonstrate how significant the savings can be when you’re comparing the cost of hiring a Jetter to the cost of dealing with flooding and damage caused by blocked pipes and culverts. Jonty has great success demonstrating how effective the Water Jetter is at keeping pipes clear and water flowing.

He’s also not afraid to get his hands dirty if there’s an opportunity for a hands-on demonstration. In fact, when we interviewed him he’d just been unblocking a culvert to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Water Jetter.

The Master Water Jetter being used on a dairy farm to clear a blocked culvert.

“So we turned up on site today and we had a blocked culvert and a drain that needed to be cleared. So after quick work with the 2T digger, we had the drain clear and we got the [water] trailer in place, got the drain rat on the end of the hose, and we basically got the hose up there working out. We had no issues, and as you pull it back it clears itself out and it was pretty much a straight forward job.”

The best tool for a drainage maintenance job

Build up of gravel, roots, rubbish, silt – all of these things can reduce the water carrying capacity of a pipe. Regular maintenance with a Water Jetter removes build up and keeps pipes flowing at full capacity. We asked Jonty what kind of feedback he’s been getting from customers on the Master Water Jetters.

“So I’ve been out around the country talking to lots of different customers that have used this machine and they’ve all been saying the same thing; this trailer is highly effective and very efficient. Easy to bring on site with your ute or your maintenance vehicle and you can get a lot of jobs done with this one unit.

This [2000L Master Water] trailer we’ve put together is a really unique piece of kit. It’s got everything that a civil or maintenance crew needs. It’s got the low pressure pump which has got a wash down hose and a dust suppression unit nozzle and then it’s also got a high pressure water blaster system that is 3500 psi, 30 litres a minute and that can work as a high performance water blaster or really good at clearing small culverts up to 300mm.

The thing with this, it’s really easy to get on site and get it working. You can literally pull up, pull out the hose, electric start on the Honda motor we’ve got on there, and you turn on the water, you’re good to go. You don’t have to have a large amount of trucks and licenses, you tow it behind your ute or your maintenance vehicle, you’re on site and ready to go quickly.”

Ask for the Master Water Jetter if you have pipes to clear

If you’re wondering when the right time is to clear your drains: the answer is now.

Hire a drain jetter today.

The Master Water Jetter comes in a 2000L model on a trailer, and a 4000L Water Jetter that’s mounted on a Skid Tank to load onto a truck. Both models come equipped with extra long hoses, jetting nozzles, and high water pressure.

Whether you’re a civil company, farmer or a civil contractor: you’re going to benefit from hiring the Master Water Jetter to clear your pipes and culverts. Contact Jonty today by email at jonty@allwayshire.co.nz or on 021 537 460. He’ll be happy to talk to you about hire options wherever you’re based in New Zealand.

If you have blocked pipes or culverts and you’re despairing of ever getting them running again – don’t start digging. You might think that you’re going to have to dig them up and start all over again, but a new tool from Allways Hire could provide a smart and cost effective solution.

The 2000L Master Water Jetter is available to hire from either the Hastings or Napier branches of Allways Hire, or nationwide on a long term hire. This smart pipe-clearing tool comes equipped with a jetter nozzle, a 30m long flexible pipe (or longer on request), and 3500psi water pressure with up to 30L/min flow. It’s a smarter way to blast your pipes and culverts clear.

The 2000L Master Water Jetter can be towed behind your ute.

We spoke to Shane Gregory, owner of Gregory Earthmoving, about his recent experience clearing some pipes with the Master Water Jetter. Shane hired the 2000L Master Water Jetter from the Allways Hire Napier branch and towed it to his worksite. It’s worth noting that while 2000L of water was more than enough for Shane, there is a 4000L Master Water Jetter available on a skid frame if you need more.

“We were doing a job…and we thought we were going to have to dig the whole thing out. We wanted to save them a bit of money and try something different so I rang Allways Hire in Napier and they said they’ve got this drain cleaning machine that we’ve just finished. I said let’s give it a go and try and save the customer some money. We went and grabbed it and, yeah, it went really well.

It was really easy to use, with one jet going forward and 3 or 4 going backwards, and I think it [the high pressure water hose] was like [30] metres long so heaps of length, easy to start (electric start) and you just feed it – it actually feeds itself with the jets pushing it, it actually pushes itself so you’ve actually got to hold it from going too far otherwise it will just keep going. And it’s good – it pushes all the stuff out – yeah it worked really well.”

With two easy-to-use hose reels on the back of the trailer, it’s easy to position and get your water where you need it.

Shane’s definitely sold on both the power and efficiency of the Master Water Jetter. Not just because it performs well but also because it “makes the job easier” and helps him keep the costs down for his customers. With different nozzles available – water blaster, jetter, and dust suppression – Shane can see a load of applications where this water cart trailer would be handy to have available.

“[I’d use the jetter again for similar jobs], it’s got a pressure cleaner and a bulk hose too, it’ll be sweet – it’ll make the job a lot easier. Washdown, high flow, you could even use it for fire fighting – people doing burns, a lot of people are doing that now and they’re getting out of control. This would be a good fire fighting machine as well.

Gregory Earthworks on site in Hawke’s Bay with the 2000L Master Water Jetter.

I would definitely recommend using this [Master Water Jetter] and the price is reasonable too. I can’t fault it.”

If you have pipes to unblock, culverts that need to be cleared, or you just need access to high powered water on the go: contact Allways Hire today. The Master Water Jetter range is available to hire wherever you’re located, with short and long term hires available in Hawke’s Bay and long term hires available in Waikato, Auckland, Northland and across New Zealand.

Nigel Parkinson’s business is an efficient machine. From the point he started NDP Fencing and Earthworks in 2002, he had his eye on the growth opportunities in Hawke’s Bay. What started as a 1-man fencing operation is now a business that includes 5 fencing crews and a dedicated earthworks team. We spoke to him about the success of his company and how he’s used Allways Hire and their hire equipment to support his growth.

Check out the full video here:

“I’ve got some of my own gear as well but I tend to hire gear when it’s required to do a job rather than having gear sitting here in my yard that I potentially might use a week, a month…it’s not worth owning it. Allways Hire always has top quality gear on site.

Nigel has built up his own fleet of equipment and supplements it with hires from Allways Hire.

The boys are really easy to talk to. You literally pick up the phone, tell them what you want. And between Hastings and Napier they always come up with a solution for you. And we can pick up the gear and multiple bits of gear and get them to a job site and get the job done. We’ve got our own transporter which makes it nice and easy, so, we can literally just ring the boys, come and get what we want, and get stuck into the job.”

Hiring equipment is a practical way to avoid dealing with the cost of machinery that’s not going to be used every day. Having his own transporter means that Nigel’s teams can quickly adapt to the needs of the job and get the right equipment to where it’s needed. But when it’s not needed – in between tasks – Nigel also appreciates Allways Hire’s flexibility and that – where possible – he does not have to pay for short amounts of downtime.

“We can tell them when we are and aren’t using machines and we can still leave them on site so when they’ve got downtime we’re not getting charged for the downtime which is fantastic. It saves you having to cart machines backwards and forwards to the branch two or three times a week – if it’s got to sit for a day they’re generally happy for us to do that and start charging when we use the machines again.”

Avoiding the cost of downtime is definitely one of the secrets to Nigel’s business success. It’s also another reason why he likes to hire his equipment from Allways Hire – because he can rely on it not to fail. And on the rare occasion that something does fail (and it’s been very rare over the past 10 years) he knows that the Allways Hire team will be there, quickly, to help him avoid the cost of wasted time.

“We had 4 machines in Pakowhai Road…we had a hose go on us…I gave them a ring and [they said] “don’t worry about it, we’ll come out” and they turned up with a new hose already set up, screwed it all into place, and attached it. And within 20 minutes we were up and running so basically no downtime. As I say – good service where required.”

Nigel’s business specialises in earthworks and fencing in Hawke’s Bay.

The way that Allways Hire are flexible to Nigel’s needs helps him to make his business more efficient. He values the fact that the Allways Hire team recognise the importance of his time. Keeping his team productive is an important factor in making a job cost-effective. Hiring newer machines reduces the risk of something going wrong – which can get expensive when you’ve got a team of 5 working on the job.

“Reliability and durability is huge to me. I’ve got teams on the ground and I can’t afford to have 3-5 guys standing around. If the machines aren’t working I’m not making money. It’s costing me money to have guys standing around waiting for gear to be repaired. [With] Allways Hire…you’re never really operating a machine that’s more than 2 or 3 years old…You can’t beat it really. “

As Nigel prefers the reliability of newer equipment, he also appreciates that Allways Hire have plenty of it. That means the machines he wants are always available for him to hire.

“The volume of gear across Napier and Hastings and Napier makes it quite simple to get what you want. In the 10 + years that I’ve been grabbing gear off Allways Hire there might be only 2 occasions that I can think of off the top of my head that I had to wait for a day or two for the gear to become available…Outstanding.

I’ve always used Allways Hire and have done for 10+ years. Allways Hire has got a bigger range of equipment – especially earthworks equipment – available…And they’re very price competitive in the marketplace as well. Allways Hire’s always been a great team – be it Hastings or Napier – to deal with. And you can’t beat the jet planes at the end of the day!”

NDP Fencing and Earthworks has grown considerably since the early days when Nigel started the business with a hand auger and some fencing tools. With its own fleet of machines and a strong workforce, Nigel is continuing to drive the business forward. It’s great to see that the team at Allways Hire are helping him grow his business with hire ready right equipment, great service and the jet planes that Allways Hire customers know and love! If you’re interested in hiring from Allways Hire – contact the team today.

Sometimes – in business – what makes the biggest difference is not what you have to do but what you don’t have to do. In the equipment hire business, that’s what being reliable is all about. Knowing that you can get the equipment you need, when you need it, and your hire company is going to make it as easy as possible, every step of the way.

We spoke to Jason and Emma Hynes of Jace Excavation Ltd in Hawke’s Bay, and asked them why Allways Hire is their no. 1 choice for equipment hire. They run an excavation business that started after Cyclone Gabrielle, when farmers in the area needed Jason’s expert help.

Check out the full video here:

Jason and Emma Hynes and family – happy Allways Hire customers.

The business has gone from strength to strength since then, and the range of jobs that Jason takes care of for his customers means that he relies on the support of Allways Hire when he’s looking for specialised machinery. He tells us why he enjoys the hire experience and working with the Allways Hire team.

“Every time I go to hire something it’s easy. I don’t think I’ve had a major issue yet and I’ve hired oodles of gear from [Allways Hire]. So it’s just knowing that the gear’s going to be there – because you’ve got lots of it and it’s good – and it’s easy.”

The right support for a growing business

As a growing business it’s important that Jace Excavation can get the right support to take opportunities as they come along. Being reliable and having good communication is important for Jason and Emma so they can build a good reputation with their own customers. That includes being able to manage invoices quickly with no surprises.

“Allways Hire is perfect because I can invoice the night I leave the job – I know what I”m going to be charged by you guys – no surprises – so I don’t lose out and everybody gets what they’re owed – it’s easy. Just takes the stress away.”

Here’s an Allways Hire 13T Case Digger being put to work by the Jace Excavation team where it’s cutting a track down a ridgeline on a Hawke’s Bay Farm.

Quick communication keeps the wheels rolling

Jason and Emma appreciate being able to grab what they need from the Napier branch or have it delivered, and the quick communication from the Allways Hire team.

“I haven’t had any issues with [communication]. I’ve emailed a few times and it’s been instant emails back. No waiting around for 2 days for customer support: it’s just instant. And you know what’s going on. Works well for the business.”

This 5T Yanmar Digger and Tipper Truck are being used to deliver metal and spread it out to make a track.

Reliability is the number one benefit of working with Allways Hire

When asked what’s the number one benefit of working with Allways Hire – Jason doesn’t hesitate to answer.

“Reliability 100% – same thing. The gear’s primo so there’s no surprises – always seems to be there when I need it and there’s never an issue. If it’s not in Napier you guys make it work and you shoot it over from Hastings and it works like that. Definitely saves downtime on the job.

[If equipment isn’t ready], it’s the downtime that I lose out on. So having you guys with the gear that’s right there ready to go, it’s just easy. It allows you to complete jobs without you having to invest in machinery that’s going to sit around for the rest of the year.

You guys are easy to jump in and grab it – or even transport it, you guys transporting the bigger machines out to us that’s handy as well. I’d have to have a bigger cost from another company to get that so it’s choice we can work it in. [you’re a] One stop shop.”

This 13T Case digger is being used to tidy up a Hawke’s Bay farm track.

Your one stop equipment hire shop in Hawke’s Bay

Having an equipment hire company in Hawke’s Bay that offers a one stop shop for all your equipment hire needs makes a huge difference to businesses like Jace Excavation. When reliability, flexibility and communication are key – it’s much easier to run a business with a team like the Allways Hire team on your side.

If you would like to find out more about hiring equipment from Allways Hire, contact the team and let us know how we could help your business.

At Allways Hire we always strive on building a great partnership with our customers to help them grow their business and get their job done. We interviewed Kevin Manuel from Vinman Ld about his partnership with Allways Hire.

Kevin spends a lot of time “driving poles into the ground”. That’s because Kevin’s the owner of Vinman Ltd, a business that specialises in orchard development, vineyard development and kiwifruit development across Hawke’s Bay.

Kevin first started using Allways Hire when customers requested work that he didn’t have the equipment for.

“Clients started asking us to do jobs we didn’t have the equipment for. We started small, hiring the odd ripper here and there to where we are now: hiring a bunch of diggers.

A lot of what we do is driving posts into the ground – hard ground and soft ground. Some posts need to go 2 to 4 metres into the ground and in some areas of Hawke’s Bay that can be quite problematic. We mainly use plate compactors on Excavators but sometimes you need a little extra to drive them.”

Needing the little extra was where Allways Hire was able to help. Working in close partnership with Kevin, the team at Allways Hire was aware of how he was using the equipment and saw an opportunity to share something new.

The Fence Pro Pile Driver is a powerful force if you need to drive posts into the ground. With a 5 metre mast and a 500KG block it suits a wide range of projects. It works on 10-13 tonne Excavators and makes easy work of retaining wall posts, shelter belt posts or any other project that requires a combination of power and precision.

Allways Hire recognised that the Fence Pro Pile Driver could make a real difference to Kevin’s business – especially where he needs to drive larger poles into the ground. A quick phone call introduced Kevin to the opportunity and he was keen to give the new piece of equipment a try.

“I said ‘Absolutely’. It took a bit of getting used to – working with something that heavy that high above your head. We used it to drive big shelter belt poles – about 8 metre poles. It took a bit of getting used to but since then we’ve used it for Kiwifruit deadmen as well.”

Being able to hire the right, well serviced equipment gives businesses the chance to take the next opportunity and grow. Kevin recognises that Allways Hire have set up their business to take care of his – and that’s why he works with them again and again.

“What I get here that stands out from everyone else is great service. There’s certainly been times where you’ve not necessarily had what I needed but you end up buying it anyway. That comes back to service, quality service going out of your way to get stuff to help me out.

I’d recommend Allways Hire to anyone, just purely because of the quality equipment and the great service. I guess from me it’s more thank you than anything else. I’m a client here and in return you guys have always been good to me.  It’s sort of a relationship that we’ve developed over the years and it’s something that I would like to keep going. It helps me out a lot and it helps my cashflow as well – I don’t have to buy everything myself.”

Always Hire have built a strong reputation for providing hire-ready equipment that gives businesses the flexibility and tools they need to grow. From construction and roadworks to agriculture and utilities: great service and the right equipment makes it easier to get the job done.

The Master Sweeper has been designed to be easy to operate, economical, and great for cleaning up in tight spaces. So it’s no wonder that the team at Regal Haulage are such big fans. They specialise in bulk cartage and storage in New Zealand. Predominantly based in the North Island, they have a lot of parts in motion across the country on a daily basis.

Regal Haulage needed a machine to keep their yard clean and deal with the day-to-day mess of trucks coming and going from their storage facility. We spoke to Hayden, the Workshop Manager, to find out how the Master Sweeper has been a great fit for their needs.

“The Master Sweeper was just right for us. We started by needing a sweeper for our stores at New Plymouth. Contamination can be a risk at stores, so it’s important to be able to keep them clean and tidy at all times.

When we were looking for a sweeper, the Master Sweeper stood out for us as the right solution. We wanted something smart, that wasn’t an attachment. We don’t have the right machine to put the brush onto the front of, so a small tractor sweeper is a great solution.

The Master Sweeper can clean up indoors or outdoors – depending on your space and needs.

Keeping the stores clean and tidy is an important part of the job and the Master Sweeper is perfect to do that. The Master Sweeper performed so well for us after the first 6 months that we decided to get a second one.”

The Master Sweeper has been designed to deliver a complete package

Designed to clean, suppress dust, and keep the operator comfortable while being easy to use: the Master Sweeper really does offer a complete package. That’s just one of the reasons it has been a big hit at Regal Haulage. When the team based at the depot and workshop decided to get a second machine, they found out first hand how effective it was at keeping the yard clean.

“The tractor’s easy to manoeuvre and very effective. It definitely performs best [for us] in the dry but the Dust Defeater and built-in water tank are really handy for when you need to keep dust to a minimum.

Being able to use the Master Sweeper is a great way to deal with the stones and dirt that get dragged around by the trucks as they come in off the road. It falls off the tires and we just need it swept up and out of the way.

Our yard man loves to jump into the air conditioned cab and crank the music up and drive around. It makes it pretty comfortable for him to operate. He gets out and sweeps the yard twice a week and goes across the whole yard. The machine is even small enough to make it possible to get into the corners.”

The broom on the Master Sweeper has special hydraulics that minimise wear and deliver a more economical cleaning solution.

Delivering value for money with a more economical sweeping solution

The Master Sweeper isn’t just versatile, it’s cost effective too. With a brush fitted with hydraulics to reduce wear, the cost of brush replacement is dramatically reduced compared to the competition. That’s made a long-term lease of the Master Sweeper a cost-effective way to keep the Regal Haulage yards and stores clean.

“The Master Sweeper is perfect for keeping things tidy. We’re definitely benefiting from having them on a long term lease, and the support that comes with it. The team at Allways Hire have been quick to get us parts when we need them, and Jeremy is always available if we have any questions.”

Keep your work yard or sheds clean with a Master Sweeper

Are you battling to keep an area of your work clean? Struggling with the mess of trucks coming and going from a work site or roading project?

The Master Sweeper is highly manoeuvrable, easy to operate, and can navigate its way around both large warehouses and yards with ease.

Do you need to control the dust in your environment?

The Master Sweeper comes with a built-in Dust Defeater system and 200L water tank, allowing you to clean up and keep dust to a minimum at the same time.

Ready to add a Master Sweeper to your fleet?

The Master Sweeper is a smart machine that’s versatile and easy to operate. It combines a focus on minimising operating costs with easy controls and great operating performance.

Allways Hire is the right hire partner for many businesses across Hawke’s Bay. That’s because the equipment they hire is exactly what those companies need. Whether they’re working on a short project or a bigger job, the kit they hire from Allways Hire provides them with reliable, well maintained equipment. That’s why they come back again and again.

Drainways is an example of one of those businesses. Family-owned and founded in 1976, they’ve gone from strength to strength and are now enjoying a period of rapid growth buoyed by the growth of the Hawke’s Bay region. That means Mark Currie, Managing Director at Drainways, needs a reliable source of equipment to keep the multiple projects he’s delivering moving forward.

“The Drainways business is concentrated around civil and commercial drainage. We’ve also worked on developments – retirement developments and subdivisions where we do all of the bulk excavation for the roading as well as the drainage and then the backfill, for the curbs, the asphalt and topsoil etc.

We’re growing quite rapidly. We’re very busy and have been for the last couple of years with hardly any lulls. And it’s looking like it’s going to be more so because the Council is pushing out lots of work with assets due for replacement and extra funding available from Central Government.

Jobs that are just for 3 months or 2 weeks or 6 months there’s no point in buying a $200,000-300,000 piece of kit when you don’t know when you’ll need to use it again. That’s when we use Allways Hire. Also we use their equipment for fill ins. We’ve got our own equipment but just to fill in gaps for those one off jobs or slightly bigger jobs when it’s not worth buying the kit for them.”

The team at Drainways appreciate the service and maintenance standards of Allways Hire. They also have some pieces of Allways Hire kit that have become an essential part of their business because they do the job so well. The Master Water Carts are one such item. Water is essential in the Drainways business for suppressing dust and compacting material. The Master Water Carts are perfect for the job.

“The Water Cart is an ongoing need for us now, especially with the summer months coming up and the need to keep the dust levels down. The Master Water Carts come with their own trucks or on their own trailers. You can rock up there and grab it and drive it away. That means we don’t need to worry about using our trucks where we could be using them to cart soil or pipes on site.

The Water Carts come with different attachments. There’s a general spray nozzle on the back that operates as you drive it around the site, and there’s a button so you can turn it on and off from the cab. Then there’s a pull out hose reel on the back just for hand watering to get into the tricky little spots that you can’t drive into.

We use the Water Carts for dust suppression and also for wetting the material we bring in so that it can compact properly. You have to use moisture to get the compaction rates up. The Water Cart goes around the site and is used to water in the tracks and the paths where everybody drives and walks so the dust doesn’t rise up. Then when that’s not needed it’s onto house platforms or building platforms and roads to get the compaction up.”

As well as the Master Water Carts, Drainways also hire a wide range of other equipment from Allways Hire. And they’re not planning on changing that anytime soon. When they hire with Allways Hire, Mark knows they will always be happy.

“We hire from Allways Hire because they always have good up-to-date equipment to hire. You know that you have a piece of kit that’s going to go to work and work for you without having any breakdowns. And the customer service is great too. They go out of their way to make sure something works and if anything stops working they send someone out very quickly.”
