Since 1993

Three decades of equipment hire in Western Australia

From one yard in Hamilton Hill to nine branches across Perth and Mandurah. Still WA owned, still family run.
Overview

From a single yard to one of Perth's largest hire companies

Classic Hire opened in 1993 with one location in Hamilton Hill and a simple idea: modern, reliable equipment, well maintained, with staff who know how it’s used on the job. Our team came from the building, landscaping and hire trades, and that practical knowledge is still how we advise customers today. Over three decades we’ve grown into one of Perth’s largest hirers of small to medium equipment, with nine branches from Wangara to Mandurah. We serve tradespeople, contractors, councils and DIY home owners, and we’re still Western Australian owned and family run.

What hasn't changed
