Orange Hire, one of Australia’s leading suppliers of earthmoving and traffic management solutions, is thrilled to announce that it has been acquired by UNITED RENTALS, the world’s largest equipment rental company, effective June 15, 2024. This strategic acquisition brings together two industry leaders dedicated to providing exceptional service, quality equipment, and innovative solutions to customers.

Since its founding in 2005, Orange Hire has built a reputation for delivering reliable, specialist equipment and outstanding service across Australia. By joining UNITED RENTALS, Orange Hire will continue to enhance its offerings, ensuring customers benefit from a broader portfolio of products and services. Over time, this will include access to storage and shipping solutions from Royal Wolf, Australia’s largest containerized solutions company and a subsidiary of UNITED RENTALS.

Greg Parfitt, Director of Orange Hire, commented:

“This acquisition marks an exciting new chapter for Orange Hire and our customers. By joining forces with UNITED RENTALS, we are bringing together unparalleled expertise and resources that will greatly enhance our ability to serve our customers. Our commitment to quality and innovation remains steadfast, and we are excited about the opportunities this partnership presents. Our customers can look forward to an expanded range of services and solutions, backed by the world-class support of UNITED RENTALS.”

From June 15, 2024, Orange Hire will continue to operate under its new statutory name, UNITED RENTALS Australia Pty Ltd, while maintaining the trading name Orange Hire. The existing Orange Hire team will remain in place, ensuring continuity and the same high level of service that customers have come to expect.
