Kennards Hire  has expanded its two specialist equipment hire divisions into far north Queensland.
 
Kennards Lift & Shift and Kennards Pump & Power are currently operating from the general equipment hire centre in Hartley Street, Garbutt. Their new location puts them closer to their mining customers in far north Queensland, which they previously supplied from hire centres in Brisbane.
 
While Kennards Lift & Shift specialises in providing equipment and technical advice for moving heavy or bulky loads safely and efficiently, Kennards Pump & Power is a specialist hirer of big pumps and big generators.
 
Kennards Lift & Shift offers air and material hoists, torque tools, hydraulic lifting equipment, glass handlers, gantries and cable hauling equipment. Kennards Pump & Power supplies generators in sizes from 20kVA to 1MW for use in the mining industry, while the pumps fleet includes extra high head units built to mine specifications.

The pumps range includes skid mounted and towable, trailer-mounted units, and extends from 300mm to 100mm, with submersible drainage and sludge pumps also available.
