Because we manufacture locally, we also understand the challenges you face on site. We design equipment that is practical, serviceable and backed by ready access to critical spares. It is equipment built to last, not built to be replaced.
Yes, Burwell supply both purchase and hire options across our blasting equipment range. We understand that not every job requires long term capital investment. Sometimes you need reliable equipment quickly, for a shutdown, short term project or specialised contract.
Our hire fleet includes quality blasting equipment that is maintained to the same standards as our manufactured products. That means you can get on site with confidence, knowing the equipment is ready to perform.
Hiring can also be a practical way to test equipment before committing to a purchase. It gives you flexibility while maintaining productivity. With branches Australia wide, we can support your hire needs locally, reducing delays and keeping your project moving.
