Whether you are a tradie working on a building site in East Ballina, a homeowner renovating in Lennox Head, or a weekend DIYer tackling a landscaping project in Cumbalum, we have the gear to help you get the job done without the cost of buying outright.
Our equipment hire range includes mini diggers, power tools, hand tools, box trailers, car trailers, flatbed trailers, motorbike trailers and winch trailers.

We hire to tradies, builders, contractors, homeowners and DIYers across Ballina and the wider region — no job is too big or too small.
Ballina's growing residential and commercial development means there is always a project on the go, from new builds and renovations through to land clearing, fencing, earthworks and general property maintenance. Instead of investing in expensive equipment you might only use once or twice, hiring from a local supplier gives you access to the right gear when you need it, without the overheads of ownership, storage or ongoing servicing.
Not sure which tool, trailer or piece of machinery fits your job? That is completely fine and it happens all the time. Give us a call on (02) 6684 3003 or walk into our Mullumbimby shed and tell us what you are trying to do. We would rather spend five minutes talking it through with you than have you hire something that does not suit the task. Friendly, practical advice is a big part of what we do and it costs nothing.
Whether you need a mini digger for a day, a box trailer for the weekend, or a set of power tools for a full renovation, Mullumbimby Hire and Sales has Ballina covered.

Real Reviews from Local Customers
We hired a cool room, dance floor, outdoor furniture, umbrellas, lawn games, tables etc for our wedding in Nov 2025. The team at Mullum hire are amazing. I can’t thank them enough. The entire process from booking through to pack down and collection was seamless. The hire equipment is great quality and well priced, especially when compared with other vendors I contacted. The team are professional, helpful and easy to deal with, nothing was a drama for them. I couldn’t be happier with how everything went. It was fantastic to be able to get all our hire from the one place. It made the day so seamless. Thank you all so much! I would highly recommend!
We used the Mullum Hire team for our at-home wedding earlier this month. Everything from the marquee and lighting to the knives and forks was sourced from the Mullum Hire team, and they were absolutely incredible to deal with. They consulted and advised me on the best options for our wedding venue, as well as looked over things like our seating chart to ensure that everything would fit perfectly. On bump-in day, the team were super friendly and helpful, and willing to assist in any way they could. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Mullum Hire team! Thank you again! 🥰
Wow just blown away by the experience with the Mullum Hire crew. Our marquee looked amazing and really gave our customers an exceptional experience at our recent event. The crew were lovely and went out of their way to do extra with helping us install our shop banner. Highly recommend!!
We used Mullum Hire as our one-stop-shop hire company for our wedding in Bangalow, and they were fantastic. Terry and the team were incredibly helpful, flexible and capable, resulting in a hassle free and really calming experience in the lead up to the event. They communicated very well throughout, and the set up and bump out were smooth and uncomplicated. Highly recommend their services to anyone doing an event of any scale, as they will do whatever they can to get it just right.
