Civil works projects are large construction projects involving the construction, repair, or conversion of infrastructure. With the recent development boom in New Zealand, there are likely more large construction projects on the horizon. In other words, it’s the best time to prepare for a big year ahead.
That’s where lift equipment rentals in NZ come in. Renting your lift equipment for major construction projects has many benefits, which the Castle Access team will review in today’s blog post. We’ll also take you on a tour of our lift equipment range so you can find the solution that best suits your needs.
The Benefits of Lift Equipment Rentals for Large Construction Projects
Cost Savings
Renting equipment for your large construction project can be more cost-effective than buying it outright. Not only do you save money on the upfront investment, but you also don’t have to deal with the ongoing maintenance costs that come with owning such large pieces of equipment. By renting, you can control your cash flow and anticipate what expenses are coming up next, ensuring you only pay for what you need when you need it.
When you rent with Castle Access, we offer discounts on long-term rentals to ensure you hit your deadline without breaking the bank.
Flexibility and Scalability
Effortlessly scale your fleet up or down depending on your project requirements. Do you need to crank things up to meet an impending deadline? Do you need to scale things down to thin out monthly costs? Renting your equipment allows you to pivot fast without needing to worry about sunken costs.
No Storage or Depreciation Concerns
While owning construction equipment can be good if you consistently need access to it, storing more specialised equipment can be costly. Storing equipment you aren’t using requires ample storage space, not to mention the asset will depreciate over time. Renting equipment allows you to access lift equipment when and if you need it, with no need to worry about storage or depreciation.
From this, it’s clear that access to lift equipment rentals in NZ is beneficial for large construction projects… but which equipment do you need?

Mast Lifts
Also called vertical mast lifts or personnel lifts, these machines are ideal for providing access to elevated areas. Thanks to its tight turning radius, the mast lift is ideal for operations in narrow spaces while providing plenty of stability for operators in the basket. In moments where precise positioning is essential, call on your mast lift to get the job done.
Our mast lifts offer a lift reach with up to 6 metres of working height and essential safety features like guard rails and auto-braking.
Electric Scissor Lifts
Next up is the electric scissor lift. Incredibly versatile, these aerial platforms suit indoor and outdoor large construction projects. While typically used for installations and painting, scissor lifts are versatile enough to suit many tasks thanks to their vertical and horizontal reach.
The scissor-like raising mechanism offers a higher lift capacity and increased stability compared to some other MEWPs. This means they’re suitable for multiple workers at a time or able to shift more material in one load.
Thanks to their electric drivetrain, our scissor lifts are quiet and emission-free. They can also multi-shift with ease, ensuring your crew is as efficient as they are safe.
Rough Terrain Scissor Lifts
Designed for uneven or challenging ground, rough terrain scissor lifts are ideal for large outdoor construction projects. They provide all the same benefits as a regular scissor lift, with the added incentive of stability on unfinished ground. This makes them ideal for exterior painting and façade installation.
Our rough terrain models have higher ground clearance, which allows them to manoeuvre over uneven ground more easily. Their sturdy construction, oscillating angles, and high-quality tyres provide excellent stability and traction.
Knuckle Boom Lifts
Also known as articulating boom lifts, our knuckle boom lifts offer precise positioning capabilities so workers can access those hard-to-reach areas. Our models can reach up to 24 metres, making them ideal for large-scale construction. From building exteriors to roof structures and overhead installations, this articulating arm can do it all.
Equipped with two sets of controls – one for the ground operator and one in the basket – these machines are safe, manoeuvrable, and versatile enough to get the job done. Choose from diesel and electric options to suit your unique needs.
When all is said and done, rental equipment is an excellent choice if you don’t want to invest in the upfront cost of owning it. Are you ready to take care of your large construction project with ease?
