Backed by 150 years of Swedish innovation, Atlas Copco Specialty Rental Australia combines global expertise with local support. Established in 1873 as a manufacturer of railway products, the Atlas Copco Group expanded into Australia in 1950. Today, the rental division offers a comprehensive fleet of specialised plant and equipment, supported by around-the-clock service and nationwide coverage.
Atlas Copco has been a valued subscriber to ICN for nearly a decade. Account managers actively use the Gateway platform to stay ahead of upcoming projects - leveraging research tools and email notifications - and regularly attend industry briefings and networking events.
“We’ve trialed many platforms, but ICN has consistently delivered value,” says Oceania Marketing Manager David Irwin. “We don’t invest in information platforms that don’t perform ICN gives us information we can act on.”
David highlights the company’s core clientele, which includes mining, oil and gas, smelters, and large industrial and food and beverage manufacturing facilities.
“Our fleet can support unique applications as well as the regular rental requirements of the industries we serve,” he explains. “We supply 100% oil-free compressors, oil- injected units that deliver up to 2000 CFM, high-pressure compressors and boosters, nitrogen generators, steam boilers, and industrial chillers—complete with all the necessary accessories like fuel tanks, hoses, and cables.”
With in-house service technicians and operators, customers benefit not only from reliable machinery but also the expertise to operate and maintain it. As the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Atlas Copco ensures the latest energy saving technology and 24/7 service support.
“It’s our client’s job to focus on their business and supporting their customers. It’s our job to take the worry off their hands when it comes to ensuring the continuity of their utilities. “says David. “We shoulder that responsibility, offering peace of mind with reliable equipment and 24/7 emergency response.”
For short-term projects and long-term flexibility, rental offers significant financial advantages.
“With long-term rentals, there’s no CAPEX and rental can offer more benefits than leasing. Maintenance is included, which means no additional operational expenditure,” David explains. “Equipment rental can be allocated to your maintenance budget. Plus, when a unit comes to the end of its operating life, we can replace it —so you are continuing to rent the latest most energy efficient technology.”
Atlas Copco builds partnerships to find tailored solutions for every project, including sourcing specialised equipment and technologies when needed, ensuring that they can support applications and projects from beginning to end.
“ICN continues to be a valuable tool for us. It’s not our only platform - but it’s one we’ve kept because it works.”
