Tray Utes
An open tray, proper tie-down points and nothing to stop you loading from any side. The vehicle tradies hire when the load is dirty, awkward, or simply won't fit in a van.
Ute hire

1 Tonne Ute
Isuzu D-Max tray or similarLoad it with a forklift, a wheelbarrow or your hands — an open tray takes what a van's back doors won't. Green waste, timber lengths, wet materials and site gear all go on without a second thought.
What fits on a 1 tonne tray
Typical loads: a tonne of sand or soil, a green-waste run to the tip, a pallet of pavers, timber and framing lengths, or a mower and site tools for the day.
Book a UteUte or van?
Take the ute
Anything dirty, wet, oversized or awkward. Soil, rubble, green waste, long timber, garden equipment. You can also load it with a forklift from the side, which you can't do with a van.
The trade-off: it's open, so nothing is locked away or out of the weather.
Take the van
Anything that needs to stay dry, secure or out of sight. Parcels, tools you're leaving overnight, boxed goods, furniture and flat-pack.
The trade-off: everything has to fit through the back or side doors.
Running an ABN?
Contractors hiring on an ABN get an ongoing 10% off, and long-term arrangements save up to 25% off the base rate. Every hire comes with a GST invoice made out to your business, so it goes straight into the books.
