A legacy of reliability.
The Foundation
Poles and Holes was established during the early Queensland housing boom as a specialist provider for temporary power infrastructure. From the very beginning, the business understood that builders needed a reliable partner who could keep sites powered and moving.
Growing the Fleet
Custom-built heavy rigid crane trucks were added to the fleet, allowing the team to dig, plant, and connect in a single visit. This streamlined process became the foundation of the efficient service the business is known for today.
A New Chapter
Doug and Deb purchased the business as its third owners, bringing fresh energy and a family-focused approach. Under their stewardship, Poles and Holes expanded into portable toilet hire and grew into Queensland’s largest temporary power pole supplier.
The Industry Standard
With over 60 years of history and a dedicated team with decades of combined experience, Poles and Holes remains the preferred supplier for builders who value reliability, compliance, and a personal touch.
