General plant hire companies offer a broad range of construction plant — from compactors and rollers to excavators and cranes. Their mixed fleet serves a wide variety of project types but means less specialisation in any single category. Here's how BuildHire compares for concreters contractors in Northern Beaches.
| Feature | Plant Hire Companies | BuildHire ✓ |
|---|---|---|
| Fleet depth | Broad but shallow in each category | Deep specialist fleet in excavators and earthmoving |
