The Right Tools for Tasty Results

Top-Quality Catering Equipment for Hire

Why splash out on gear you’ll only use once? Grafton Hire has the right tools for the job, from concreting to garden clean-ups and everything in between.

Concrete & Concreting Tools
Pouring a patio or polishing a slab? Grab a floor grinder, trowel machine, or cement mixer for a professional finish. For clean cuts or precise core holes, our concrete saws, concrete scarifiers, and core drilling machines are designed to make tough jobs a breeze.
Groundwork & Soil Preparation
Our post hole diggers, rotary hoes, trenchers and plate compactors handle fences, gardens and footings without breaking your back.
Landscaping & Garden Maintenance
Tidy up or tackle a full backyard blitz with mowers, whipper snippers, hedge trimmers. Then, turn green waste into mulch in record time with a trusty wood chipper.
Heavy Lifting & Moving Equipment
Moving heavy gear or breaking up concrete? Use our Bobcat, jack hammers, panel lifter or mobile scaffold to lift, shift and stay safe on site.
Cutting & Trimming Tools
For timber, trees or masonry, our log splitter, pole saw, and block splitter make clean cuts and light work of hard jobs.
Surface Prep & Cleaning
Finish strong with floor sanders, vinyl strippers, pressure washers, and wet/dry vacs. We’ve also got dust extractors to keep the mess under control.
Measurement & Marking
Keep your job square and sorted with line markers and trestles. These essentials truly make a big difference to your precision and progress.
Attachments & Augmenting Tools
Add more grunt with a Kanga and auger, or get sharp results on your reno with a tile cutter ideal for tricky finishes.

Catering Equipment Hire FAQs

Can I hire just one or two items?

Absolutely! We understand that not every event needs a full catering kit. Whether you’re after a single pie warmer, a BBQ for a weekend party, or just need an urn for the tea station, we offer itemised hire options with no minimum spend. You can mix and match what you need, and even pair it with marquee or furniture hire for a complete event solution.

Yes, we do ask that equipment be returned clean and in the condition it was provided. But if you’re booking a larger package or hiring alongside our portable toilets or tableware, we recommend our optional post-event cleaning service. Just let us know during booking and we’ll include it in your quote.

Our team can guide you through the best catering hire options based on your menu, guest numbers and layout. We can also assist you with other event essentials like sound and lighting equipment, or portable ablution facilities for an efficient setup that works for your space and your budget.
