Zero-emissions solutions for modern sites
Classic Hire integrates advanced low-emissions equipment that meets the verifiable commitments modern tenders demand — cutting fuel, noise and running costs on your site.
Sustainability isn’t a cost centre — with the right equipment, it’s a core cost-saving mechanism for your project.
Flagship offering
Hybrid generators with solar array integration
Our flagship sustainability offering pairs advanced hybrid generators with on-site solar arrays and battery storage. Solar is the primary power source, stored in integrated battery banks, with the diesel generator functioning solely as a backup when capacity is insufficient.
The result is significant OPEX savings and lower refuelling logistics costs — plus modern, efficient solar lighting across the fleet.

Beyond hybrid power
Solar lighting
Solar light towers and solar light pods deliver bright, reliable site lighting with no fuel and near-silent operation.
A young, efficient fleet
A weighted average fleet age under five years means newer, cleaner, more fuel-efficient machines with lower emissions per hour.
Smarter logistics
Nine branches and Hire Anywhere, Return Anywhere cut transport kilometres and mobilisation — lowering the carbon footprint of every hire.

Up to 90%. Solar is the primary power source, stored in integrated battery banks, and the diesel generator only runs as a backup when solar and battery capacity is insufficient.
Yes. Integrated battery storage delivers uninterrupted 24/7 power, even in off-grid or remote areas, so critical site services keep running when solar generation is low.
Zero direct emissions during solar and battery operation supports net-zero project mandates and the verifiable environmental commitments required by modern infrastructure tenders and government contracts.
