A leading Australian construction equipment hire business has signed on to Converge, signalling a significant boost for the event.
Converge 2025’s new partner is Opt Hire, a prominent player in the construction industry. Opt Hire’s support brings significant momentum to the event, furthering Converge’s mission to unite construction leaders around innovation and sustainability.
Opt Hire, known for its cutting-edge eco‑friendly power, lighting and light compaction solutions, is a key player in helping the construction industry meet environmental and productivity targets. By sponsoring Converge, the company highlights the event as more than a gathering; it’s a hub for industry trailblazers – from subcontractors to fleet managers and major contractors. With Opt Hire on board, Converge 2025 is set to be a premier destination for the latest advancements in municipal works, civil and commercial construction.
The equipment hire sector, and companies like Opt Hire, play a vital role in Australia’s construction landscape. Renting essential machinery offers companies cost-effective access to advanced technology, eliminates costly capital outlays, and enhances site safety through reliable, up-to-date equipment. These benefits are especially important in an industry where efficiency, flexibility and sustainability are key.
Opt Hire is set to showcase an array of innovative solutions at Converge 2025, featuring hybrid power generators and battery storage systems that deliver substantial fuel savings and reduced emissions compared to traditional diesel-powered equipment. The company’s display will also include hybrid and solar lighting towers, providing sustainable illumination options for remote or off-grid sites. To further support its customers, Opt Hire will present its Compound Power Usage Calculator – an advanced tool designed to help users optimise power consumption and identify cost-saving opportunities with hybrid power.
For attendees, Opt Hire’s presence means a firsthand look at technology driving change – like solutions that save fuel, reduce emissions, and bring efficiency to remote projects.
Opt Hire Business Unit Manager, David Ewan, said the company is thrilled to be supporting Converge 2025.
“The event gives us an invaluable platform to strengthen our presence and connect with industry leaders who share our commitment to sustainable practices,” Mr Ewan said.
“By sharing our expertise in powering and lighting construction sites with hybrid power solutions, we aim to foster knowledge exchange and collaboration with industry peers.
“Ultimately, we aim to inspire positive environmental change by showcasing the tangible benefits of reducing carbon emissions and minimising our ecological footprint.
“We believe that by working together with like-minded companies, suppliers and stakeholders, we can uncover new opportunities to innovate and drive sustainable solutions across the construction industry.”
With Converge 2025 gathering support from pioneering companies and gaining publicity in Australia’s leading business‑to‑business publications – including Roads & Infrastructure, Infrastructure Magazine, Utility Magazine, Earthmovers & Excavators, Council Magazine, Earthmoving Equipment Magazine, Inside Construction and The Tradie – it’s shaping up to be a defining event for the Australian construction industry.
