Camden Hire updates Takeuchi mini-excavator fleet

The machinery hire sector is an ultra-competitive space, and to ensure its customers continue to receive only the best outcomes and experience, Camden Hire has updated its mini-excavator fleet with six new examples of the Takeuchi TB215R.

Established in Sydney’s south-west over 35 years ago, the business offers a wide range of tools, vehicles, and equipment, and knows only too well that superior customer service underpins everything it does.

According to Camden Hire owner, Mark Scarce, that ethos has stood the firm in good stead through all those years.

“Our business has grown through a commitment by our excellent team to always deliver genuine helpful service and taking the extra steps to meet customers’ expectations,” he says. “We now have five locations throughout Sydney’s southwest and employ over 100 people.

“While we mainly operate in the southwest of Sydney, we have clients all across the region, from the Northern Beaches, Blue Mountains, South Coast, and Hills District, to the Southern Highlands.

“The majority of our customers are property owners who are looking for a machine that will give them the power they need for landscaping work and small building projects. We also hire equipment to professional contractors who need a small excavator for accessing tight sites, or in times of increased workload.”

And when it came time to invest in its mini-excavator fleet, the decision was simple, says Mark.

“All our Takeuchi equipment has performed extremely well in terms of satisfying customers’ demands and delivering the return on investment we need,” Mark says. “The time had come to upgrade the mini-excavator fleet to ensure that the latest machines and technology are available for our valued customers.”

The Takeuchi mini excavators win over customers on many fronts, says Mr Scarce.

“Another benefit for people who hire these Takeuchi mini excavators is their convenient towing on a trailer, which makes them easy to pick up and move without needing a truck,” he says. “Also, with building sites becoming ever smaller and access often a challenge for larger machines, these small excavators have become a popular hire item. They are affordable, convenient, and easy to use. Everyone has limited time these days so getting the job done quickly holds major appeal. These small but powerful excavators can certainly do that.”

Reliability is another hallmark of the brand, says Mr Scarce.

“People hiring these machines have no problems,” he says. “Takeuchi equipment is well engineered to take the toughest treatment and the TB215R excavator is ideal for this environment.

“Customers have always been satisfied with the Takeuchi excavators in terms of the amount of power, digging depth, ease of controls, and the super-reliable hydraulics.

“We normally turn over our excavators between 2500 and 3000 hours of operation, which normally occurs about four to five years of age. We’re also happy with the resale value of the old machines when the time comes to retire them, so this is all part of our whole-of-life costing which works out well for us.

“Takeuchi equipment ticks all the boxes required for a successful hire business – performance, durability, serviceability, and operator comfort.”

The six excavators were supplied by Semco Equipment Sales. Semco CEO, Satch Santilli, says the model is tailor-made for rentals.

“This model features minimum tail swing to provide great versatility by allowing the machine to work in highly confined applications,” he says. “The engine is powerful and efficient while meeting the latest emission standards. Equipment supplied as standard includes a multi-informational display, automatic travel shift, pilot-operated joystick controls, a high-capacity cooling system, and convenient filter and service access.”
