Construcciones Yamaro: Jacon Equipment’s rental range is built for concrete pressure
Jacon Equipment’s rental range ensures contractors get the right machinery at the right time – without the long-term commitment.
Construction is a business of problem-solving, where every project has its own blueprint for success. The right equipment can make all the difference, but with skills shortages, inflation and supply chain disruptions, locking into costly machinery purchases is not always the best move. Jacon Equipment sees rental not just as an option but as an advantage.
As a global designer, manufacturer and supplier of construction equipment, the company knows that flexibility is as valuable as securing projects. That is why its rental range – spanning concrete pumping, spraying and transportation solutions – is designed to keep contractors moving without the weight of ownership.
Matt Finn, product specialist at Jacon, says rental demand has naturally grown in response to financial pressures and logistical challenges.
“Jacon anticipates the practical needs of today’s construction firms and where the industry is heading,” says Finn. “For contractors, staying on budget and meeting deadlines is crucial. Renting provides the flexibility needed to do both. Most of our equipment is ready to go. If contractors need it, we can get it on site within a week. That quick turnaround is invaluable when timelines are tight and budget approvals are delayed.”

Renting vs. buying
For many projects, renting makes more sense than buying, particularly when machinery is needed for short-term or specialised work.
“Renting allows companies to sidestep the upfront costs of purchasing new machinery. Instead, they can access the latest equipment for a manageable monthly fee, freeing up capital for materials and labour,” says Finn.
“Ownership also comes with costs beyond the initial purchase – maintenance, insurance and storage all add up. Renting eliminates those financial burdens. It offers flexibility, reduces capital expenditure, and helps manage cash flow in uncertain economic times.”
The range
Jacon’s rental lineup includes Midjet and Maxijet shotcrete rigs.
The Midjet is built for tight spaces, such as tunnels and underground environments. It features a compact design, AWD skid steering for manoeuvrability, a 10-metre vertical spray reach, and a 26-cubic-metre pumping output.
For larger-scale projects, the Maxijet is equipped with 4WD and four-wheel steer, a hydrostatic transmission powered by diesel engines, and a long-stroking piston pump to reduce wear and pulsation. The telescopic boom extends up to 10 metres, and an optional chemical dosing system integrates with the pump stroking for precise application. The MKII version includes an upgraded boom for greater reach and a higher-tier engine for improved performance.
Jacon also offers mobile concrete mixers with capacities of up to 10 cubic metres. These machines feature a dual-cabin design for easy navigation in and out of tunnels, a high-pressure wash-down system, and a 205-kilowatt engine.
“These larger machines are in high demand, especially as tunnels get longer and cycle times increase. A bigger capacity improves efficiency by reducing the number of trips needed, keeping both crew and equipment running smoothly,” says Finn.
Built for heavy-duty work
Jacon’s rental fleet is suited for infrastructure and tunnelling projects, where heavy-duty demands and extended cycle times are the norm.
“Contractors don’t have to worry about maintaining their own equipment because we handle all servicing,” says Finn. “That’s built into the rental agreement, ensuring machines stay in peak condition.”
The company’s equipment is already in use on major tunnelling projects, including Melbourne’s North East Link. Contractors rely on Jacon’s rental solutions, and the company remains committed to delivering machinery that performs under pressure.
Keeping downtime in check
A project only moves as fast as its equipment allows. To prevent delays, Jacon’s machines are serviced regularly.
“We follow a 250-hour or three-month service schedule, which includes a complimentary machine inspection,” says Finn. “Proactive maintenance helps prevent issues before they arise, keeping projects on track.”
While some assume rental equipment wears out faster due to heavy use, Jacon’s maintenance program ensures reliability.
“Regular inspections and servicing mean our clients get machinery they can trust, reducing the risk of unplanned downtime,” says Finn.
Support and training
Jacon goes beyond supplying equipment by offering hands-on support.
“We provide machine familiarisation training, so operators fully understand how to use the equipment safely,” says Finn.
Jacon’s technicians visit job sites to work directly with contractors, walking them through operation and safety protocols.
“This hands-on training maximises both efficiency and safety, helping operators get the most from their equipment while minimising risks,” says Finn.
Expanding horizons
Jacon is broadening its rental offerings internationally to meet the construction industry’s evolving needs.
“We are actively expanding into international markets, particularly for Tier 1 customers,” says Finn. “While we currently focus on Australia, we have already begun branching out, with one rental machine now deployed overseas.”
Even in remote locations, such as a tunnelling project in Tasmania, Jacon ensures equipment gets where it is needed.
“We have shown that no matter where the project is, we can get the right equipment there,” says Finn.
Jacon is also preparing for tighter environmental regulations by introducing hybrid diesel-electric options into its rental fleet.
“These machines offer an eco-friendly alternative while still delivering the power and performance our customers expect,” says Finn.
With a focus on reliability, efficiency and adaptability, Jacon’s rental fleet is ready to support contractors – wherever and whenever they need it.
