HAVING INVESTED OVER £20M IN ECO SOLUTIONS, ITS SEVEN DEPOTS NOW OFFER MORE THAN 11,000 HYBRID OR FULLY-ELECTRIC PIECES OF EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS SPANNING 670 PRODUCT LINES… Boost your sustainability credentials with Balloo Hire
Known as a trusted provider for plant and tool hire across Ireland, Balloo Hire Centres is also at the forefront of delivering sustainable solutions. Balloo Hire has invested over £20m in environmentally-friendly equipment, designed to reduce emissions and boost the sustainability of customer site projects without compromising on performance. From silent, zero-emission battery storage units deployed on film sets and major construction sites to HVO generators fuelling the NW200, its eco solutions meet the rising demand from customers focused on enhancing their sustainability credentials. Positioned as a one-stop provider of greener alternatives to traditional hire equipment, its eco fleet features hybrid and fully electric machinery across plant, access, power generation, cleaning, events and gardening categories. Recognised as the first hire company in the UK and Ireland to offer battery- powered 4x4 85ft boom lifts, 6m teleporters and 1.5t diggers, Balloo Hire
also supplies battery and hybrid lighting towers and battery storage units. A series of customer events has been held in recent years to showcase the range against such impressive backdrops as the iconic Harland & Wolff cranes in Belfast. Colin Magee, Powered Access Manager, said, “We’ve positioned ourselves as a market leader in electric scissor and boom lifts, but our offering goes far beyond that - delivering a full, sustainable solution across both equipment and tool hire. “Balloo Hire operates the largest fleet of diesel and HVO-compatible generators across Ireland. HVO significantly cuts CO₂ emissions, while our battery storage units offer a zero-emission power solution. “Our extensive fleet of battery storage units is used across the film industry, event setups, and large construction sites - providing fully emission-free power or supporting hybrid generation systems. “This commitment also extends to our welfare division, where our units come equipped with energy-efficient LED lighting, double glazing, and full insulation
in the floor, walls and roof to reduce heat loss and minimise energy consumption. “Our low-flush toilets and timed water heaters help conserve water and power, while many units are designed to work with hybrid or battery storage systems to cut down on emissions. These features ensure a comfortable, compliant and environmentally responsible solution for on-site welfare needs.” Balloo Hire operates depots across Bangor, Belfast, Ballyclare, Dungannon, Nutts Corner, Lisburn, and Omagh - the latter of which was expanded in 2024. Whether you need equipment for a day or a long-term project, Balloo Hire offers a wide range of hire solutions - from heavy construction plant excavators, dumpers, rollers and telehandlers to powered access platforms, site welfare units and essential services like generators, lighting, fuel storage and fencing.
