Edge Protection Hire Spreads Its Wings – A Big Step Forward for Stronghold Hire

At Stronghold Hire, we’ve always taken pride in being a true one-stop shop for scaffolding, edge protection, edge rail systems, and scaffold hire across Sydney. Over the years, one part of the business has grown faster than we ever expected – our edge protection division.

What started as a complementary service alongside our core scaffolding operations has developed into a high-performing, in-demand division in its own right. With dedicated crews, its own systems, and a growing client base, it’s fair to say the “little brother” has officially grown up. And now, it’s time for the next step.

Why the Move?

Until now, both Stronghold Hire scaffolding and our edge protection team have operated out of the same yard in Mascot. That setup has served us well—but with both divisions expanding, the reality is simple: we’ve outgrown the space.
Running two busy operations – scaffold hire and installation, alongside a fast-moving edge rail division – from one yard began to create limitations around:

• Storage capacity
• Vehicle movements
• Loading and unloading efficiency
• Workshop and maintenance space

Rather than compromise on service, we made the call to expand.

A New Home for Edge Protection Hire

Our edge protection division—now operating as Edge Protection Hire Pty Ltd — has moved into its own dedicated premises in Marrickville. This gives that team full control over:

• Equipment storage and logistics
• Vehicle scheduling
• Workshop and maintenance areas
• Day-to-day operations

It’s a big move and one that reflects just how far that division has come.

What This Means for Stronghold Hire

For Stronghold Hire, this isn’t just about making space, it’s about improving how we deliver our scaffolding services.

With the Mascot yard now focused solely on scaffold hire, installation, and dismantling, we can:

• Increase available stock of steel and aluminium scaffolding
• Improve turnaround times on scaffolding projects
• Streamline deliveries, especially for tight-access and CBD jobs
• Enhance our yard operations and equipment management

In short, it allows us to double down on what we do best—delivering reliable, efficient scaffolding solutions across Sydney.

Still Working Together – Just Smarter

While Edge Protection Hire now has its own base, the relationship between the two businesses remains as strong as ever. We still work side by side on projects requiring both scaffolding and edge protection systems, providing clients with a seamless solution for:

• Residential builds and renovations
• Commercial and remedial projects
• Roof access and fall protection
• Complex sites requiring both scaffold and edge rail installations

The difference now is that both teams can operate at full capacity—without stepping on each other’s toes.

A Sign of Growth

This move is a clear sign of growth—not just for the edge protection division, but for Stronghold Hire as a whole.

It reflects:

• Increased demand for scaffold hire in Sydney
• Continued growth in edge protection and edge rail systems
• Our ability to scale while maintaining quality and service

And importantly, it positions both businesses for the next stage.

Looking Ahead

We’re proud to see Edge Protection Hire step out on its own and build its own identity. At the same time, Stronghold Hire remains focused on delivering high-quality scaffolding, shrink wrap, and temporary works solutions across Sydney.

Two businesses.
Two specialised operations.
Working together—stronger than ever.
