Case Study Coates Hire

Helping a major Australian tool hire company with peaks in demand for tool pick ups and drop offs

Coates Hire Case Study

Coates Hire is Australia's largest equipment hire company with over 125 years experience in industry, supplying to a wide variety of markets including Engineering and Building Construction & Maintenance, Mining & Resources, Manufacturing, Government, and Events.

Coates is an on demand hire service company generally supplying equipment to trades last minute and therefore require a prompt delivery response service to get there equipment to their clients.

Whilst Coates employs and operates company delivery drivers there is always the need for additional service coverage especially when it comes to the urgent breakdown requirements and long distance inter store transfers.

Why Coates chose Swift Transport

Swift Transport has changed the way Coates Hire handles there deliveries by custom designing out 1 & 4 Tonne vehicles

Whilst Coates Hire has a lot of small products, majority of their equipment is heavy and/or bulky items and requires specialised vehicles such as crane mounted trucks & tilt trays to safely get the goods delivered.

However this is where Swift Transport has changed the way Coates Hire handles there deliveries by custom designing out 1 & 4 Tonne vehicles we are able to handle those bulky goods with smaller and less expensive vehicles and therefore reduce their transport costs.

We have also been able to improve their delivery service times to their clients as our on demand courier vehicles are more readily available then larger more expensive trucks. These features and services are things such as:

  • Tailgate Lifters on 1 Tonne Trays
  • Heavy Duty Towbars
  • Ring Feeder Connections
  • High Sides and Dangerous Good Capabilities
  • Hi-Vis and PPE equipped drivers

Just to name a few key points….

We have managed to build a great business partnership with Coates Hire which has extended many years and whose products we are proud to boast we transport.
