Equipment Hire Specialists in Mackay & the Bowen Basin

Smarter Equipment Sourcing. Simplified Hire Solutions.

KBT Hire is a locally owned, family-operated equipment hire business based in Mackay, Queensland. Servicing Mackay, Moranbah, the Isaac Region and the wider Bowen Basin, we also support projects throughout Queensland and New South Wales.

We specialise in sourcing, supplying and maintaining equipment hire across mining, civil, construction, resources, energy, industrial and event industries. From mine-compliant light vehicles, diesel trailers and fuel pods to compressors, generators, earthmoving equipment and site support, we connect you with the equipment you need.

One Contact. One Invoice. A Smarter Way to Hire Equipment.

Finding the right equipment shouldn't mean spending hours calling suppliers, comparing availability, coordinating deliveries and managing multiple invoices.

Through our trusted supplier network, we take care of equipment sourcing, hire coordination, logistics and ongoing maintenance requirements. We also manage equipment supplied by our hire partners, providing customers with one point of contact for equipment support, servicing and hire administration throughout the hire period.

Whether it's a single piece of equipment or multiple assets across a project, KBT Hire simplifies the process so you can focus on getting the job done.

KBT Industries is now KBT Hire.

Same people. Same trusted service. Just a name that better reflects what we do.

One word has changed. Everything you trust about KBT hasn't.

Sourcing Equipment

We find the right equipment for your job — fast.
You tell us what you need, your site requirements and budget. We source, compare and coordinate the best-fit equipment so you don’t have to chase multiple suppliers.

Supplying Equipment

Short or long term. Mine compliant. Ready to go.
KBT offers a range of light vehicles and project support equipment at market-competitive hire rates. Our service and coordination fee is included in your hire rate, so there are no hidden extras. If it’s not in our fleet, we’ll source it — with price comparisons completed for you.

Service & Maintenance

Less downtime. More reliability.
We manage servicing and maintenance for all equipment supplied through KBT, helping keep projects running and eliminating unnecessary delays.

Equipment Hire Management

Your equipment. We manage the hire.

For suppliers who don't have the time or resources to manage their equipment hires, KBT Hire can take care of it for you.

We coordinate the hire process, manage customer communication, arrange servicing and maintenance, and seek your approval where required. You'll be kept informed when your equipment goes on hire, while we handle the day-to-day coordination as your single point of contact.

One Call. Every Asset.
