Hyresmaskiner

What Hyresmaskiner does

Hyresmaskiner (legal entity Hyresmaskiner i Mälardalen AB) is a privately held Swedish equipment rental company founded in 1986 by Håkan Lindberg, originally under the name Lindbergs Maskinfirma. The company operates two depot locations — its headquarters at Kokillgatan 7 in Västerås (opened 2008) and its original Hallstahammar depot at Videvägen 6 (relocated to new premises in 1996) — serving customers across Sweden's Mälardalen region. With approximately 15 employees and annual revenue exceeding 30 million SEK, the business combines machine rental, equipment sales, and a retail hardware store (Järnaffären) under one operating identity.

The company's product portfolio spans 35+ equipment categories organized around construction, excavation, lifting, compaction, garden, and worksite equipment. Rental inventory includes compact excavators (0.9T–3.0T), wheel loaders (2.0T–6.5T), wheel and track dumpers (1.5T–9.0T), boom lifts with 14M–22M working height, electric scissor lifts (3.70M–7.9M platform height), trailer-mounted lifts (12M–21M), a truck-mounted lift with 23M working height and 13.2M horizontal reach, plate compactors from 50KG to 700KG, scaffolding, breakers, generators, welders, compressors, and a broad garden machinery range. Sales operations distribute STIHL, Hikoki, Milwaukee, Hydroscand, Air Liquide, and Linde products alongside the company's own rental-recommended assortment.

Hyresmaskiner operates a traditional depot-based rental model with usage-based pricing across daily, multi-day, weekend, and 4-hour short-rental tiers; all quoted rates include VAT and insurance, with fuel charged separately. Target customers include construction and excavation firms (primary), tradespeople and craftspeople, municipalities and public administrations, and private individuals undertaking home improvement. Sales are conducted through depot counters, telephone inquiries, and a website listing pricing publicly for most equipment; job-site delivery extends service beyond the depots. There is no disclosed proprietary technology platform, no e-commerce booking system, no AI/ML features, no mobile app, and no third-party integrations — operations rely on physical fleet management and direct customer relationships built over 35+ years.
