Get the Right Equipment When You Need It!

Working in coastal areas like Evans Head often means balancing productivity with access constraints, ground sensitivity and staged site activity. From early excavation through to material handling and clean-up, plant selection needs to account for terrain, proximity to existing structures and changing site conditions as work progresses.


Compass Equipment Hire supports construction, civil and earthmoving projects in Evans Head through flexible dry hire and wet hire options. Our fleet is maintained in-house and includes machinery suited to detailed site works, bulk excavation, material movement and heavy plant transport. We work closely with site supervisors to align equipment selection with access limitations, sequencing and production requirements, helping crews stay productive while managing site constraints.

Skid Steer Loaders in Evans Head

Skid Steer Icon

On coastal sites where space is limited and surfaces are often disturbed or sensitive, skid steer loaders play a key role in maintaining site access and productivity. They’re commonly used for trimming, backfilling, track preparation and material relocation in areas where larger machines would cause disruption or limit movement.


Our fleet of skid steer loaders is well suited to continuous work in confined and variable environments. These machines can be paired with attachments such as brooms and levelling tools to support trimming, clean-up and material placement. Skid steers are frequently deployed alongside excavators to prepare work zones, manage access paths and keep crews moving between excavation stages.

Excavators in Evans Head

Excavator Icon

Excavators are central to most Evans Head projects, where ground conditions, water tables and access influence how work is staged. They’re used for trenching, drainage installation, footings, bulk excavation and land shaping, with machine selection driven by reach, stability and surface impact.


Our fleet includes excavators ranging from compact 1.8- and 3.5-tonne rubber-track machines through to mid-size 8- to 15-tonne units and larger excavators up to 30 tonnes. Steel-track and long-reach configurations are available for demanding conditions, with attachment compatibility allowing machines to be set up accurately for site-specific tasks.

Tipper Trucks in Evans Head

Tipper Truck Icon

Material handling on coastal sites often requires careful coordination to avoid congestion and surface damage. Tipper trucks are used to remove spoil, deliver fill and maintain clear access routes, supporting excavation and keeping work areas functional as site layouts change.


Our fleet includes modern tipper trucks for routine site haulage, along with high-capacity tipper and dump trailers suited to larger material volumes. These units are typically scheduled in line with excavation output to maintain steady haul cycles, reduce stockpiling and support efficient site sequencing.

Low Loaders & Floats in Evans Head

Low Loader Icon

Plant transport becomes particularly important on coastal projects where access routes and timing can impact site operations. Low loaders and floats are used to mobilise excavators and other heavy machinery into and out of site, including staged movements as works progress.


Our fleet includes prime movers paired with tri- and quad-axle low loaders capable of transporting machinery loads up to 30 tonnes. These combinations support secure loading, controlled transport and reliable delivery, helping projects transition between stages without unnecessary delays.

Attachments in Evans Head

Attachments play an important role in adapting machinery to coastal site conditions where precision and surface control matter. They can be used for levelling, controlled material placement, batter trimming and finishing works.


Our fleet includes a wide range of attachments compatible with excavators and skid steer loaders. Correct attachment selection helps maintain finish quality, reduce rework and keep productivity consistent across sensitive and staged coastal sites.
