Need productive, reliable and locally supported machinery? We’ve got you covered. As Australia’s leading provider of specialised cable hauling and transmission stringing equipment, TEN is the go-to for stringing equipment hire, purchase, training and service. We work closely with transmission authorities, EPC contractors, and construction partners to support the full lifecycle of stringing operations — from project planning through to construction and maintenance.
Our range includes pullers, tensioners, sagging winches, drum stands, stringing blocks, and all required accessories — sourced through exclusive partnerships with global leaders like Tesmec, and backed by our local expertise and support.
At TEN Hire, we don’t just rent gear — we partner with you through the entire process. That means expert guidance on equipment selection, operator training, Tesmec-certified repair services, and responsive on-site support when you need it most. It’s all backed by our dedicated SRT division (Service, Repair, Training), keeping your projects moving and your line crew safe.
With deep industry knowledge, exclusive partnerships, and a national support footprint, TEN’s machinery team is the trusted choice for safe, efficient, and reliable powerline construction equipment.
In 2020, TEN Hire has expanded its offering to include SRT (Service, Repair & Training) – our specialist service and training division.
Service
To ensure a long and productive life for your capital assets, regular servicing and preventive maintenance are essential. TEN Hire’s SRT actively supports your preventive maintenance program, helping you keep your equipment running smoothly. Our experienced team of hydraulic technicians are ready to assist with the maintenance of your Tesmec equipment.
Repair
Breakdowns are inevitable, but when they occur, you need reliable support to get your fleet back up and running. TEN Hire stocks a wide range of parts for Tesmec machinery, ensuring you have what you need. We’re the only company that provides a regional service for stringing equipment (trained by the manufacturer) and in a suitable time zone for efficient troubleshooting and rapid repairs. Our SRT technicians are ready to assist with fault diagnosis and troubleshooting over the phone, and we can mobilize technicians on short notice for on-site repairs as needed.
Training
Our approved instructors, who have trained directly with the manufacturer, deliver our stringing machine operator training. Participants in our programs receive a comprehensive training manual along with theory and practical assessments designed to build and confirm operational competency. Our trainers hold Cert IV qualifications in training and assessment and deliver the training package at our site or yours, meeting AQTF standards. We have developed, delivered, and continuously improved this training package over years of deployment to Australian utilities and contractors. TEN has successfully trained over 1,000 operators in the use of high-risk stringing equipment.
