Concrete Floor Grinder Hire vs Sale: What’s Right for You?
If you’re tackling a concrete floor project, you know how important it is to have the right equipment. But here’s the big question: should you hire a concrete floor grinder or invest in your own? At Protrade Warehouse, we get it—sometimes a short-term hire makes more sense, and other times owning your equipment is the way to go. Let’s break it down and help you figure out what’s best for your project.
Why Hiring a Concrete Grinder Can Be a Smart Choice
Not every project requires buying a machine you’ll only use once. Hiring a concrete grinder in Sydney can save you money, storage space, and maintenance headaches. At Protrade Warehouse, we offer flexible hire options, including:
- Standalone floor grinders
- Floor grinder and dust extractor packages
- Additional equipment like floor strippers and floor scrubbers
Hiring works perfectly for one-off projects or seasonal work. Plus, we make it easy with:
- Daily hire rates (discounts if you hire for more than 3 days!)
- A refundable $250 deposit
- Pick-up from our Rydalmere store, opposite Bunnings
- Delivery across Sydney metro and surrounding areas including Wollongong, Central Coast, the Blue Mountains etc. (additional fees apply)
With these options, you get exactly what you need, when you need it—without the long-term commitment.
Floor Grinder + Dust Extractor Packages: The Complete Setup
If you want a cleaner, more efficient workspace, our floor grinder and dust extractor hire packages are perfect. Pairing a 480mm or 250mm floor grinder with a DE1000, DE2000, or DE3000 dust extractor keeps dust under control and ensures better results on every concrete surface.
Dust-free grinding isn’t just about cleanliness—it’s about safety and precision. Whether it’s a home renovation or a commercial job, our packages make the work smoother, faster, and less messy.

When Buying a Floor Grinder Makes Sense
While hiring is convenient, owning your own equipment can pay off if you regularly work on concrete floors. At Protrade Warehouse, we sell:
- 480mm and 250mm floor grinders
- Dust extractors to pair with your grinder
- Accessories like diamond cup wheels, grinder plates, and PCD plugs
Owning your grinder gives you freedom—you can work whenever you like, customize your setup with the right accessories, and avoid hire costs over time. For businesses with frequent projects, buying can actually save money in the long run.
Accessories and Additional Floor Prep Equipment for Hire
We don’t just stop at grinders. At Protrade Warehouse, you can also hire:
- Floor strippers for epoxy, vinyl, carpet, and other coverings
- Floor scrubbers for large-scale cleaning
We also sell essential accessories for your floor grinders, including diamond cup wheels, and PCD plugs, so you can equip your machine for the best results.
This makes us a one-stop shop for floor preparation equipment. Whatever your project needs, we’ve got you covered.

Hire or Buy? The Bottom Line
So, what’s the best choice? If your project is short-term or you want to test out equipment first, hiring a concrete grinder is flexible, affordable, and easy. If you’re regularly working on concrete floors, buying your own grinder and dust extractor can give you more control and save money in the long run.
At Protrade Warehouse, we make it simple—whether you’re looking to hire or buy a floor grinder, need dust extractors, or want accessories like diamond cup wheels and PCD plugs, we have everything you need.
