About Us

Forshaw’s Plant Hire is an experienced small business located in Nankin, Central Qld run by Ian & Tracy Forshaw.  In 2017, Ian & Tracy moved to the Capricorn Coast and downsized the business, originally known as Forshaw Contracting that was based in the Gulf of Carpentaria.

Ian Forshaw first started Forshaw Contracting in 1984 as a contract fencer and yard builder.  Forshaw Contracting Pty Ltd became a company in July 2013 and supplied Main Road certified quarry materials, roadwork plant & equipment as well as ready-mix concrete across the Gulf to local Councils, Main Roads, RoadTek, Century Mine and Pastoral Companies.

Now trading as Forshaw’s Plant Hire, we are qualified, experienced owner/operators that are capable of getting the small jobs done right the first time.
