Supporting Tutt Bryant’s Go Green Initiative

12 July

Written By Julie Moulder

It’s always a proud moment seeing another Hardwear van leave the factory, especially when it’s joining the fleet of an industry leader like Tutt Bryant Hire.

This 9m onsite van has been built to support Tutt Bryant Hire’s Go Green initiative, bringing together practical site facilities, smarter power systems and reliable connectivity for demanding worksites.

Built for more efficient site operations

Modern worksites need facilities that can do more while relying less on traditional power sources.

That’s why this van features an integrated 48V solar and battery system designed to help reduce generator runtime and support more efficient day-to-day operations.

It’s a practical approach to improving how power is generated and used onsite, without compromising the reliability crews need.

Ready for remote locations

For projects operating outside major centres, reliable connectivity can be just as important as reliable power.

This van is Starlink-ready, helping teams stay connected in remote locations where conventional internet access may be limited.

Combined with a practical internal layout and durable construction, it provides a complete onsite facility designed to support crews from day one.

A strong fit for Go Green

Tutt Bryant Hire’s Go Green initiative reflects a broader commitment to smarter, more sustainable hire solutions.

Hardwear vans are a natural fit for that approach, helping reduce generator reliance while providing the power, connectivity and functionality required on modern Australian worksites.

We’re proud to build vans that help our customers deliver on initiatives like Go Green and continue improving the way onsite facilities operate.

Built tough for Australian worksites.
