When a piece of equipment becomes part of your regular workflow, hiring it again and again can start to slow you down. That’s why more and more businesses — from facility managers to contractors — are exploring a smarter way to work: investing in the machines they rely on most.
At Dromad Hire, our Approved Ex-Rental range gives customers the confidence of owning high-quality equipment, with the added peace of mind that every unit has been rigorously prepared by our in-house engineering team.
Why Ownership Can Be a Game-Changer
Hiring will always be essential for occasional or highly-specialised tasks. But when you’re using the same machine week after week, owning your own can deliver huge advantages:
✔ Predictable availability
The machine is there when you need it — no waiting on deliveries or last-minute availability issues.
✔ Reduced project downtime
Jobs run smoother when you can move at your schedule instead of a hire schedule.
✔ Long-term cost control
For frequently used equipment, the purchase cost often pays itself back faster than most people expect.
Quality You Can Trust: GA1 Certified & Site-Ready
Every Approved Ex-Rental machine goes through a full inspection and preparation process before it leaves our depot. That includes:
Detailed engineering checks by our in-house service team
Updated GA1 certification
Freshly cleaned, safety-checked, and ready to operate on arrival
You’re not getting a machine that’s simply “ex-rental.”
You’re getting one that’s fully prepared to Dromad’s standards — the same standards trusted by leading contractors and trades across Ireland.
What’s Included With Every Approved Ex-Rental?
All units come:
GA1 certified
Immediate site-ready
Delivered nationwide
Supported by our team after purchase
Plus, many models are available with reduced prices or multi-buy savings — ideal for businesses scaling their equipment fleet.
Support From People Who Know the Equipment Best
Because these machines have already been part of our fleet, we know their full history — how they’ve been serviced, how they’ve performed, and how to keep them in top condition.
And if you ever need assistance after purchase? The same engineering and customer support teams that maintain Ireland’s leading access fleet are only a phone call away.
Make Your Next Project Even More Efficient
Whether you’re tired of waiting for deliveries, working through weekends, or simply want your most-used machine always at hand — Approved Ex-Rental could be the smarter solution.
