Civil dry hire specialist Earth Gear recently added its 200th machine – a major milestone for the Brisbane-based family business
Brisbane-based civil dry hire specialist Earth Gear is celebrating a major milestone this month – taking delivery of its 200th machine. This is a proud moment for the Australian family-owned and operated business.
Supplying South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales with a comprehensive range of near-new, low-hour machines and attachments, Earth Gear has carved out a strong reputation for reliability, flexibility and good old-fashioned service in the earthmoving and civil construction industry.
Founded with a clear mission, to make dry hire simple, fast and dependable, Earth Gear’s approach is built on real relationships and practical support. From local operators to major contractors, the team prides itself on being responsive, professional, and easy to deal with.
“Our 200th machine is a big milestone for us,” Earth Gear business development manager Shane Claridge says.
“It’s a sign that what we’re doing is working – providing quality gear that gets the job done, backed by a team that genuinely cares about our customers and their projects.”
The fleet includes a wide selection of excavators (1.7t to 40t), tracked and wheeled loaders, site dumpers, and water trucks to name a few.
In addition to Earth Gear’s growing fleet of machinery, it also has a large range of civil-spec attachments such as sieve buckets, rock breakers, hydraulic grabs, rock saws and more.
Every machine is maintained to a high standard, with many being mine-ready and tailored to meet site compliance requirements including ROPS, E-stops, UHF radios, isolators, GPS machine control systems and safety handrails.
What sets Earth Gear apart is not just the gear – it’s the service. The team understands the realities of construction and works closely with clients to ensure smooth delivery, reliable performance, and minimal downtime.
With its headquarters in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, Earth Gear continues to expand across the region, partnering with construction businesses, developers, and contractors to keep projects running on time and on budget.
As it rolls past the 200-machine mark, Earth Gear isn’t slowing down any time soon.
If you’re looking for top-quality civil dry hire gear with a local team you can count on, it might be time to see what all the fuss is about.
Real Gear. Real Easy.
