EASY TRANSPORT OPTIONS FOR YOUR NEXT JOB

We have 1.7t and 2.5t machines in the yard right now and ready for hire.

These machines are light enough that you can hook the trailers up to any decent size Ute and transport it yourself, making them an extremely handy option for most job sites.
Although they’re small they still have solid power output and high fuel efficiency.

If you’re interested in our easy transport options or any other machines get in touch today via :

Shoutout to Carter Heavy Haulage for alway keeping our machines moving on time

Our 30 tonner on the way to Muswelbrook today with a few attachments. It’s impressive seeing these operators load these onto the trucks, only inches to spare.

NO TIME FOR DOWN TIME!

What sets MODRA apart?

Here at Modra we have 24/7 support available to keep your machines running smoothly.

We also have a skilled team and a workshop to ensure fast turn arounds when you need it most.

📸- What you see here in these pics is a little more than just general wear and tear. This machine has copped a few knocks but because we manage all our own repairs right here in house, we won’t be sending this machine out looking banged up but it also won’t be out of action long either.

Just another reason you should choose Modra for your dry hire needs.

🚨 NEW MACHINE - SK235SR-7

We just added a brand new 23 tonne to the fleet.

Machines this size are compact enough to manoeuvre into smaller spaces yet still powerful enough to tackle most jobs you’ll come across on sites.

This one here is a civil spec with GPS and tilt hitch and it’s ready for action now.
If you need attachments of any kind, we either have it in stock already or can get it for you. Just talk with our team about any special requirements.

We are a one stop shop for all things dry hire. Machines, attachments and transport to and from site is all available through us directly.

Get in touch today for any info or pricing :
