FULL THROTTLE CHAOS · QUEENSLAND EVENT PLANNING
PLAN YOUR BULL OR WHEELIE MACHINE HIRE
Compare the two attractions, budget for your event and check what your venue needs before requesting a date. FTC supplies operated hire for backyard parties, weddings, bucks and hens parties, workplace functions and community events. Venue suitability, travel and availability are reviewed for each booking.
HIRE PRICES & INCLUSIONS
Mechanical bull, bucking bull or rodeo bull
$1,000 for 3 hours, GST inclusive, with two FTC operators. The mechanical bull is an operator-controlled ride with an inflatable arena. Delivery, setup, operation and pack-down are handled by FTC; setup and pack-down are outside the booked operating period.
Wheelie machine hire
$550 for 4 hours, GST inclusive, with one FTC operator. Guests try a controlled motorcycle wheelie experience on a rig. FTC handles delivery, setup, operation and pack-down. Include your guest mix and proposed event hours so the crew can review the request.
Extra operating hours, travel and agreed extras can change the final total. Include extra time in your request for confirmation. For both attractions together, ask FTC for package pricing.
CHECK YOUR VENUE
Space and access
Choose level, stable ground with room for the complete attraction, operators, participants and safety area. Check vehicle access and the path to the setup area. Send available space, gate widths, steps, slopes and overhead restrictions; FTC confirms the required footprint and clearance before you book.
Power supply
The bull requires two separate suitable 240V circuits. A single circuit split through power boards is unsuitable. The FTC Power Package is $200 and includes two independent generators, leads and standard fuel. Confirm the wheelie machine's electrical needs for your booked configuration.
Permission and weather
Ask the property owner or venue manager about permission, delivery times, electrical access and operating hours. For outdoor hire, discuss an undercover alternative. FTC's operator decides whether conditions permit safe operation. Read the weather and cancellation provisions in the relevant hire terms.
For kids parties or mixed-age events, discuss participant suitability with FTC. Rider limits and operator directions apply. The organiser remains responsible for general event supervision and keeping spectators clear.
DELIVERY & TRAVEL
40km radius from Caboolture, 4510 +$2.50 per k/m outside this radius.
Caboolture 4510 is the published travel starting point. Include the exact event address so FTC can confirm the travel charge. A regional name or postcode alone does not confirm the final charge. For a local enquiry, see Caboolture and Moreton Bay hire; other Queensland destinations are reviewed with the crew.
REQUEST YOUR EVENT DATE
- Choose the mechanical bull or wheelie machine and check its calendar.
- Send your date, operating hours, event type, exact venue address, access and power details. Include extra time or equipment questions in the notes.
- FTC checks availability and venue suitability. Sending the request does not take payment or reserve the date.
- If the booking can proceed, FTC emails a link for the 25% non-refundable deposit. For the base packages, this is $250 for the bull or $137.50 for the wheelie machine; agreed extras can change the total.
- The date is secured only after the deposit clears and FTC confirms the booking. Pay the remaining balance before delivery and setup. Check the terms for the full deadlines and conditions.

- Rodeo bull hire and bucking bull hire are other names for mechanical bull hire. FTC's bull has an inflatable arena and an operator-controlled ride. The wheelie machine provides a controlled motorcycle wheelie experience on a rig. Both are operated event attractions; FTC delivers, sets up, runs the attraction and packs down afterwards.

Send the available footprint, gate widths and overhead restrictions for FTC to review; the crew confirms exact dimensions for your venue. The bull requires two separate suitable 240V circuits.

- Can I hire for an outdoor party or wedding?
- You can request hire for an outdoor event, subject to site suitability and FTC approval. Discuss ground conditions, access, power, venue permission and a suitable undercover alternative before confirming. Weather can affect safe operation, and cancellation or shortened operation does not automatically create a refund entitlement. Read the terms for the attraction you choose.
