New kids on the block
Hire equipment, transport solutions and car detailing solutions are among the services at Wercs Hire which is establishing itself in the Somerset region after opening a little over 12 months ago.
The Kilcoy-based equipment rental agency has serviced the Moreton Bay region as well as the Somerset region, with the aim of supporting locals with all of their hire needs.
Builders, handymen, and industrial and rural industries have been among those to benefit from the range of services.
The business was the brainchild of its owner, Cameron Smart, who came from a mining and construction background before moving to a property outside of Kilcoy a couple of years ago.
After purchasing equipment to use on his farm, Cameron sensed a need for a hire shop in the Somerset area and then decided to diversify into this area.
Travis Loors recently came on board as general manager after having more than a decade of experience in the hire industry, from general hire to engineering solutions.
A comprehensive range of equipment includes everything from excavators and skid steers to height access, trailers and event hire, all the way down to garden and power tools.
Wercs Hire also offers wet hire for any projects which need an experienced operator, while transport solutions include a 10-tonne flat bed tilt try and a 10-tonne tip truck.
Both trucks are accompanied by trailers if required. Car detailing solutions includes catering to all from a basic clean, to pre-sale details.
Travis said the business was unique to the area as it strived to support and supply the demand of the local needs.
“We don’t only stock the everyday hire equipment, but we also have a range of rural equipment that can service the requirements of locals,” Travis said.
“Big or small, long or short term, Wercs is your partner in hire.”
