From a Garage to the Job Site
The quote-first equipment hire partner for serious contractors.
Our Story
Built from the Ground Up
Open Hire is a South African company incorporated in 2018. It began as a small tool rental business operating from the garage of a family home. Today, it has outgrown that garage space into a 400 square metre workshop in Polokwane, with a second branch in Midrand at Waterfall Crossing.
Our history is steeped in entrepreneurship, innovation, and the drive to get the job done. We specialise in equipment and tool rental and have established ourselves as a sought-after brand in the equipment hire space.
As a proud subsidiary of Breit Ltd, we are a dealer of globally recognised brands including Sakai and Exen. We are at the forefront of integrating innovation with the aim of improving efficiency, effectiveness, and competitive advantage.
