When it comes to setting up a construction site — whether for a small home build or a large-scale commercial job — having the right construction site equipment in place from day one can make a world of difference.
At Dromad Hire, we’ve seen it all — and we know the equipment that crews ask for time and time again. These are the unsung heroes that save time, improve safety, and make the job that bit easier.
Here are a few site essentials:
1. Cement Mixers
No matter the size of the job, if you’re working with concrete or mortar, a reliable mixer is a must. We stock petrol, diesel, and electric models — perfect for anything from small footpaths to full foundation pours.
Why it’s essential:
Reduces manual labour, ensures even mixes, and saves serious time on site.
2. Power Washers
From cleaning down surfaces before work begins to washing mud off plant and vehicles, power washers are a staple on most sites — especially in wet or dusty conditions.
Why it’s essential:
Keeps the site clean, presentable, and safe, especially around access routes and entryways.
3. Site Heating, Drying & Cooling
Irish weather isn’t always kind — and sometimes neither is the heat. Whether it’s portable space heaters for colder months, dehumidifiers for drying out interiors, or cooling fans during warmer days, it pays to be prepared for changing conditions.
Why it’s essential:
Keeps your team comfortable, helps control moisture and dust, and prevents delays during fit-outs or finishes.
4. Pallet Trucks
When you need to move heavy materials or loads across a site, pallet trucks offer a fast and simple solution — especially indoors or on finished surfaces.
Why it’s essential:
Speeds up materials handling and reduces physical strain on workers.
5. Materials Handling Solutions
Tools like the Shifta Conveyor and Bumpa Hoist are game-changers when it comes to moving materials quickly and safely on-site. Ideal for transporting bricks, blocks, rubble, and more — especially on multi-storey or uneven terrain sites.
Why it’s essential:
Improves site flow, reduces manual handling, and increases overall efficiency.
6. Material Lifts
Need to safely raise steel beams, ducting, or heavy loads into place? Our range of material lifts (like the Genie Superlift Advantage) are compact, easy to operate, and built for efficiency.
Why it’s essential:
Improves on-site safety and reduces the risk of manual handling injuries.
7. Generators
Whether it’s a remote site setup or just a backup during mains outages, generators are a core part of any site’s contingency plan. Available in multiple sizes, they provide reliable power for tools, lighting, cabins, and more.
Why it’s essential:
Ensures your site stays powered — no matter what.
