5 Reasons to Hire Aldeck Handrails

For Australian builders and roofers, safety at height is non-negotiable. Perimeter edge protection is critical, but the choice between owning and hiring equipment is often the difference between flexible cash flow and tied-up capital.

At Aldeck, we focus exclusively on providing market-leading hire systems because we fundamentally believe it delivers a more efficient and beneficial outcome for our clients. We do not directly sell our systems – our dedication to hiring is the core of your competitive advantage.

Here are the 5 powerful reasons why partnering with Aldeck for temporary handrail hire is the smarter choice for your business.

REASON 1: ZERO-RISK COMPLIANCE & SAFETY ASSURANCE

Buying specialized safety equipment means you inherit the compliance burden. When you hire from Aldeck, we take on the risk entirely.

Our systems are engineered to meet stringent Australian Standards (AS 1657, AS/NZS 4994.1) and OH&S legislation. By retaining ownership, we guarantee that every single component delivered to your site has been maintained and tested before delivery. This protects you from the compliance risks associated with second-hand or poorly maintained gear, ensuring your site safety is never left to chance.

REASON 2: NO LIFE CYCLE COSTS & SUPERIOR CASH FLOW

Why freeze capital in a depreciating asset that sits idle? Purchasing outright often leads to under utilisation, storage costs, and ongoing maintenance expenses that drain your budget.

Hiring ensures you only pay for what you need, when you need it. There are no hidden lifecycle costs: we handle all the servicing, repairs, storage, and re-certification. This low upfront commitment keeps your cash flow liquid, allowing you to invest capital in labour, materials, and other critical parts of your project.

REASON 3: ACCESS TO AUSTRALIAN-MADE PRODUCT INNOVATION

When you hire from Aldeck, you gain instant access to the latest Australian engineering without the burden of owning outdated equipment.

We invest heavily in product development, including our patented enclosure system, our bumper stop system and our telescopic adjustable handrail systems (which allows you to easily transition from 1.1m up to 2.4m high) and other specialised systems. If you need engineering for netting or shade cloth or scaff guard we have it.   Furthermore, our innovative designs allow for larger post spacings than generic alternatives, saving significant time and labour costs during installation and dismantle. You benefit from superior technology without the high acquisition price.

REASON 4: COMPLETE FLEXIBILITY ON DEMAND

Project programs change constantly. Buying locks you into a fixed inventory; hiring from Aldeck provides the ultimate flexibility to respond instantly to site requirements.

If your project accelerates, or if you need to secure a new section, simply call us and we’ll have the compliant handrail delivered promptly. Likewise, if an area is dismantled or the program is delayed, you can off-hire just as easily. This rapid scaling and descaling capability means you stop paying for equipment the moment you no longer need it.

REASON 5: SUPPORTING AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRY

By choosing Aldeck, you are supporting an Australian-made and owned business.

This ensures your project benefits from locally engineered solutions that are purpose-built for the rigorous demands of Australian worksites and compliant with local standards. Choosing local means avoiding imported systems of uncertain quality or compliance, and reinvesting directly into the Australian construction supply chain.
