Brooks Hire Service commenced in 1979 when Doug Brooks purchased two u/s compressors on bankcard. Since then, the company has grown, purchasing the first piece of mobile plant in 1982, an 8 tonne JEC crane, by tender, which Doug drove to Eneabba. At the time of buying the crane, Doug was operating the business from a shed at Eneabba working 18 hour days and living 5 days a week in a humpy at the back of the shed while also working locally as a fitter. Saturdays consisted of driving to Perth to obtain parts and Sunday was accounts day and returning to Eneabba.

Over the years, the Brooks Hire fleet has grown to more than 1000 pieces of machinery. Every machine is backed by experienced mechanical staff that are on call 24 hours a day seven days a week. With a fleet of mine spec four-wheel drives and service vehicles, Brooks Hire can service all our clients’ needs.

We have invested heavily in new equipment over the past years and an increased staff level to cope with our client needs 24 hours a day. Brooks Hire are proud to have the largest fleet of new and recent medium sized loaders available for hire in Western Australia.
