In mining, civil, and construction projects, the demands of each site can vary dramatically. Terrain, safety requirements, access limitations, and day-to-day operational pressures all influence how equipment performs. Standard, factory-built machines simply aren’t designed for the harsh conditions found across Australia’s mine sites and remote project locations.
That’s why Axis Hire specialises in bespoke, fit-for-purpose equipment customisation. Our focus is simple: deliver machinery that arrives onsite fully compliant, mine-site tough, and optimised for your exact requirements.
From light vehicle setups through to customised water trucks, fuel units, and off-road service trucks, our team builds equipment that keeps your project moving with maximum uptime.
Why “Off-the-Shelf” Isn’t Enough
Factory-standard vehicles are built for general use, not the extreme demands of Australian mine sites. Using equipment that isn’t fit-for-purpose can lead to higher maintenance costs, safety issues, and avoidable downtime.
Axis Hire takes an inside-out approach.
We work with clients to understand long-term operational needs, then modify and configure each unit so it arrives fully compliant and ready for work on day one.
Light Vehicles: Built for Purpose
Axis Hire’s Toyota Hilux and Landcruiser fleet can be tailored with a wide range of mine-site modifications, including:
- Mounted Hydraulic Cranes (Kevreks): For safe and efficient lifting in the field.
- Custom Toolboxes: Tailored storage solutions to keep your team organised.
- Explosive Storage Boxes: Built to strict safety standards for specialised blasting utilities.
- Safety Compliance: Full mine-site specifications including fire suppression, ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structures), and high-vis identification.
Heavy Trucks & Specialised Units
Axis Hire provides customised heavy vehicle configurations, including:
- Customised Water Trucks: Ranging from 14,000 to 30,000 litres, Configurable with batter sprays, dribble bars, and remote-controlled cannons.
- Service & Fuel Units: We offer 4×4 and 6×4 service trucks, and bulk fuel tankers with fast-fill capabilities. Need something unique? We build custom-made units for specific needs.
- Crew Transfer: Our off-road buses are customised to ensure safe, comfortable transport for your team across wet or rugged terrain.
Rebuilds and Refurbishments: Giving Equipment a Second Life
For long-term hire or ageing machinery, Axis Hire offers comprehensive rebuild and restoration services. Our technicians can perform complete strip-downs and rebuild major components, including engines, transmissions, and hydraulic systems, returning equipment to “like new” operational condition.
This gives clients a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to purchasing or sourcing new machinery.

Our process ensures every unit is tailored to your project’s unique demands:
- Consultation & Requirements Definition: We work closely with your team to understand the technical demands of your site and long-term project objectives.
- Sourcing, Building & Modification: If we don’t have the exact unit required, we source it through our network and fully customise it to your specifications.
- Maintenance & Ongoing Support: Our custom builds come with full maintenance backing, onsite servicing options, and rapid response support to ensure uptime.
