Welcome to Cowleys Hire: a local family owned and operated business that offers Northland the largest range of hire equipment, from small handheld tools through to earthmoving equipment.
Cowleys Hire was born in 1951 in a backyard in Whangarei from a simple idea: to offer quality equipment and experienced advice.
We have become the most trusted hire company in Northland, offering seven decades of experience, four depots throughout the region, three generations of family and a commitment we meet year after year, to serve our local community.
Trent and Rachel Cowley, our dedicated owners, are actively involved, ensuring honest service, dependable equipment, and genuine accountability every step of the way.
Helping people is at the heart of what we do. Whether you need a one-off hire, equipment for your small business, or support for a large-scale project, we’re here and ready to help.
Cowleys Hire is not just about tools and equipment. We’re about giving back to the community that we love: community sports clubs, awards nights, volunteer organisations, local charities and local events.
Like our equipment, our community support runs from big to small. From being a key sponsor at the Whangarei Fireworks Spectacular to providing masks to low decile schools in Whangarei during the Covid outbreak. Cowleys have been helping out our region in every way possible for over 70 years.
