Built from hard work, quality gear and a better idea…
Hireline is proudly New Zealand owned and operated, built from practical thinking, hands-on experience, and a genuine passion for good equipment. What started with a few fabricated tools and mates borrowing gear has grown into a trusted Auckland equipment hire company supplying machinery, tools, and equipment to contractors, tradies, landscapers, businesses, and DIY customers across the region. Today, Hireline operates with a yard full of professional equipment, but the business still runs on the same values it started with:
Reliability | Practical advice | Honest service | Quality equipment | Good relationships
Where it all started
From fabricating log splitters to building Hireline
Before Hireline existed, director Ian Chilcott was already building and fabricating equipment, collecting quality tools, and helping people get jobs done. Over time, mates regularly borrowed tools and machinery for projects, landscaping jobs, and site work.
There was only one issue. The equipment didn’t always come back in the same condition it left. That’s when Ian’s wife, Kira, suggested something simple:
“Instead of lending the gear out… why not hire it out?”
That one idea became the foundation for Hireline. What began with a handful of tools, fabricated log splitters, and practical Kiwi ingenuity slowly grew into a fully equipped machinery and tool hire business serving Auckland customers across construction, landscaping, earthmoving, maintenance, and home projects.
