About US
The S3B Story
- Family-Owned
- Brisbane Based & Operated
- Local Experts
S3B Machines was founded on a simple commitment: work hard, be reliable, and always look after the people who rely on us. What started three generations ago with a single excavator and a dedication to doing things properly has grown into a trusted hire partner for contractors, builders, landscapers, and DIY operators across SEQ.
Director, Shaun Baker began his career on the tools. He knows exactly what it’s like to arrive on-site needing the right machine, ready to work with no delays and no complications. His real-world experience guides the way our team operates today. We deliver a service with transparent pricing, well-maintained equipment, and dependable support for projects of every scale.
Based on Brisbane’s Northside, we continue to operate as a hands-on, family-run business with a personal approach. Whether you’re hiring one attachment or coordinating multiple machines across job sites, you’ll get the same level of care: reliable gear, fast turnaround, and a team genuinely invested in your project’s success.
We’re proud of how far we’ve come and focused on building our service of machinery requirements to build a better future.
If you’re planning an upcoming project, get in touch because we’re ready to support you.
