Short-term hires and permanent poles are paid upfront. Long-term hires are invoiced monthly once the equipment is on site.
We deliver on the agreed day and set it up on site.
Call or email us when you have finished with a hire. A power pole needs its wiring disconnected before we take it. For a portaloo the call is enough.
A fast quote and minimal paperwork to lock in your hire.
Short-term, long-term or last-minute, we work around your timeline.
We keep to the schedule so your project stays on track.

Trusted since 1960 for power poles and portaloos, and now for 4G security camera hire.
Yes. The retailer will send you bills for electricity usage and may also apply account or connection fees, depending on their terms.
Yes, and how you do it depends on the product. For short-term hires where you've locked in a pick-up date (event portaloos, trailer-mounted toilets), just call us and we'll push the pick-up back — you pay the daily rate for any days beyond the minimum hire period. For long-term hires (temporary power poles, builder's portaloos, permanent poles, security cameras), there's no pre-set pick-up date — the product stays on hire until you call us to off-hire it, so if you need it longer you simply call when you're ready to return it.
You simply pick it up from and return it to our Capalaba depot—that's all there is to it.
If your site is on or near a high-traffic road, Energex may require traffic control for safety. This can extend the connection timeframe by up to several weeks.
We deliver across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Ipswich and surrounding South East Queensland suburbs. Temporary pole hire is $600 + GST for the 12-week minimum. Standard-zone delivery is $350 + GST and quoted separately, making the typical standard-zone total $950 + GST. Delivery outside the standard zone or involving non-standard access is quoted by address and may cost more.
Standard home builds – usually a 63 amp single-phase pole. Larger builds or on-site living – 80 amp or 3-phase may be required. Commercial or heavy equipment – 3-phase pole recommended. If unsure, check with your builder or electrician and we'll guide you.
For Saturday events, delivery is usually on Friday and collection is on Monday.
