Introducing Height 4 Hire
Commencing in 2010 Height 4 Hire is now Queensland’s largest privately owned and operated supplier of access hire and scissor lift hire equipment. Owner of Height 4 Hire Ken Baker explains the journey so far and what this milestone means to his business. “We have become well known in the hire industry for providing reliable, safe and well-maintained equipment. We are so proud of our growth over the last 12 years, which is thanks to great staff, customers and high quality, reliable machines like Haulotte scissors and booms. Our fleet has grown from 55 machines, and we look forward to adding another 1000 EWP’s in the future”, said Ken Baker.
“Some of the changes that have happened in my time in the industry, there’s an even greater focus on safety and Haulotte has been at the forefront of proving safe working conditions for the operators of these machines”, adds Ken.
The 1000th Haulotte machine for Height 4 Hire is an Haulotte Optimum 8 one of 285 that Height 4 Hire now have in their fleet. A fleet staple, the ‘Opti’ as it is known in the industry, is a compact and versatile electric scissor lift designed for indoor use. It has a maximum working height of 7.8 meters and a platform capacity of 230 kilograms, making it ideal for a range of applications.
