About Terra Hire
We're a locally owned and operated equipment hire business based in North Canterbury, New Zealand. Our mission is simple: get the right machine to you, quickly and reliably, so you can get the job done.
What we do
Terra Hire specialises in compact construction equipment hire, with a focus on diggers, excavators, and tractor-mounted flail mowers. Whether you're a builder doing site prep, a homeowner tackling landscaping, a farmer managing paddocks, or an event organiser needing ground clearance — we have the right machine for the job.
We deliver equipment directly to your site across North Canterbury, so you don't need a trailer or tow vehicle. Just book, and we'll bring it to you.
