The Active/ Instant hire group which incorporates CSP Hire and Handyman Hire have taken delivery of another Kanga Loader adding to their already impressive herd of over 60 Kanga machines and attachments.

“Kanga is the preferred machine among our customers and service department” said Alan Edgerton who is responsible for purchasing in NSW, QLD and VIC. “They are easy to operate, reliable and priced right” he added.

Active Hire Group started from humble beginnings in 1981 in a small yard in Ingelburn south west of Sydney as CY Hire. The company soon branched out to Parramatta and Redfern. In 1999 CY Hire was sold to Instant Access Group before changing its name to Instant Hire in 2003. A few years later the company was sold to the Active Hire Group which incorporates CSP Hire and Handyman Hire in Queensland. In 2010 all 25 outlets will be branded under the Active Hire Banner.

Choosing a Kanga loader is made easy by the fact that it is the only mini loader on the market which has been independently risk assessed.

The Kanga range offers 6 models from the “Kid” or 2 Series able to fit through doorways to the heavy duty 8 Series. Most models are available in petrol or diesel options. Over 60 attachments including augers, brooms, trenchers, 4 in 1 buckets, cement mixers and pallet forks to name a few are available to suit all business needs.

Kanga Loaders was recently acquired by Digga Australia. Digga are Australia’s largest manufacturer and exporter of gearboxes and machinery attachments to the earthmoving industry. The acquisition will see Kanga benefit immensely from Digga’s 29 years manufacturing experience. In 2009 Digga Australia was awarded “Gold Coast Business of the Year” as well as the “2009 Australian International Design Award” and the “2009 British Export Excellence Award”.

Now manufactured at Digga’s 12,500sqm facility in Queensland Kanga will have access to one of Australia’s top R & D departments, new hydraulic cyclic testing equipment and state of the art manufacturing equipment.

Since creating the first compact loader over 30 years ago, the Kanga brand has been recognised around the world as a proven symbol of quality, reliability and performance.
