Lorem ipsum, or lipsum as it is sometimes known, is dummy text used in laying out print, graphic or web designs. The passage is attributed to an unknown typesetter in the 15th century who is thought to have scrambled parts of Cicero's De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum for use in a type specimen book. It usually begins with:

“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.”

The purpose of lorem ipsum is to create a natural looking block of text (sentence, paragraph, page, etc.) that doesn't distract from the layout. A practice not without controversy, laying out pages with meaningless filler text can be very useful when the focus is meant to be on design, not content.

The passage experienced a surge in popularity during the 1960s when Letraset used it on their dry-transfer sheets, and again during the 90s as desktop publishers bundled the text with their software. Today it's seen all around the web; on templates, websites, and stock designs. Use our generator to get your own, or read on for the authoritative history of lorem ipsum.

Origins and Discovery

CICERO

HEDONIST ROOTS

Until recently, the prevailing view assumed lorem ipsum was born as a nonsense text. “It's not Latin, though it looks like it, and it actually says nothing,” Before & After magazine answered a curious reader, “Its ‘words’ loosely approximate the frequency with which letters occur in English, which is why at a glance it looks pretty real.”

As Cicero would put it, “Um, not so fast.”

The placeholder text, beginning with the line “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit”, looks like Latin because in its youth, centuries ago, it was Latin.

Richard McClintock, a Latin scholar from Hampden-Sydney College, is credited with discovering the source behind the ubiquitous filler text. In seeing a sample of lorem ipsum, his interest was piqued by consectetur—a genuine, albeit rare, Latin word. Consulting a Latin dictionary led McClintock to a passage from De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum (“On the Extremes of Good and Evil”), a first-century B.C. text from the Roman philosopher Cicero.

In particular, the garbled words of lorem ipsum bear an unmistakable resemblance to sections 1.10.32–33 of Cicero's work, with the most notable passage excerpted below:

“Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem.”

A 1914 English translation by Harris Rackham reads:

“Nor is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure.”

McClintock's eye for detail certainly helped narrow the whereabouts of lorem ipsum's origin, however, the “how and when” still remain something of a mystery, with competing theories and timelines.

AD

Fuzzy Beginnings

TYPESETTER SELECTING TYPE

REMIXING A CLASSIC

So how did the classical Latin become so incoherent? According to McClintock, a 15th century typesetter likely scrambled part of Cicero's De Finibus in order to provide placeholder text to mockup various fonts for a type specimen book.

It's difficult to find examples of lorem ipsum in use before Letraset made it popular as a dummy text in the 1960s, although McClintock says he remembers coming across the lorem ipsum passage in a book of old metal type samples. So far he hasn't relocated where he once saw the passage, but the popularity of Cicero in the 15th century supports the theory that the filler text has been used for centuries.

And anyways, as Cecil Adams reasoned, “[Do you really] think graphic arts supply houses were hiring classics scholars in the 1960s?” Perhaps. But it seems reasonable to imagine that there was a version in use far before the age of Letraset.

McClintock wrote to Before & After to explain his discovery;

“What I find remarkable is that this text has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since some printer in the 1500s took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book; it has survived not only four centuries of letter-by-letter resetting but even the leap into electronic typesetting, essentially unchanged except for an occasional 'ing' or 'y' thrown in. It's ironic that when the then-understood Latin was scrambled, it became as incomprehensible as Greek; the phrase 'it's Greek to me' and 'greeking' have common semantic roots!” (The editors published his letter in a correction headlined “Lorem Oopsum”).

As an alternative theory, (and because Latin scholars do this sort of thing) someone tracked down a 1914 Latin edition of De Finibus which challenges McClintock's 15th century claims and suggests that the dawn of lorem ipsum was as recent as the 20th century. The 1914 Loeb Classical Library Edition ran out of room on page 34 for the Latin phrase “dolorem ipsum” (sorrow in itself). Thus, the truncated phrase leaves one page dangling with “do-”, while another begins with the now ubiquitous “lorem ipsum”.

Whether a medieval typesetter chose to garble a well-known (but non-Biblical—that would have been sacrilegious) text, or whether a quirk in the 1914 Loeb Edition inspired a graphic designer, it's admittedly an odd way for Cicero to sail into the 21st century.

AD

Meaning of Lorem Ipsum

LETRASET TRANSFER SHEETS

INTERPRETING NONSENSE

Don't bother typing “lorem ipsum” into Google translate. If you already tried, you may have gotten anything from "NATO" to "China", depending on how you capitalized the letters. The bizarre translation was fodder for conspiracy theories, but Google has since updated its “lorem ipsum” translation to, boringly enough, “lorem ipsum”.

One brave soul did take a stab at translating the almost-not-quite-Latin. According to The Guardian, Jaspreet Singh Boparai undertook the challenge with the goal of making the text “precisely as incoherent in English as it is in Latin - and to make it incoherent in the same way”. As a result, “the Greek 'eu' in Latin became the French 'bien' [...] and the '-ing' ending in 'lorem ipsum' seemed best rendered by an '-iendum' in English.”

Here is the classic lorem ipsum passage followed by Boparai's odd, yet mesmerizing version:

“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam hendrerit nisi sed sollicitudin pellentesque. Nunc posuere purus rhoncus pulvinar aliquam. Ut aliquet tristique nisl vitae volutpat. Nulla aliquet porttitor venenatis. Donec a dui et dui fringilla consectetur id nec massa. Aliquam erat volutpat. Sed ut dui ut lacus dictum fermentum vel tincidunt neque. Sed sed lacinia lectus. Duis sit amet sodales felis. Duis nunc eros, mattis at dui ac, convallis semper risus. In adipiscing ultrices tellus, in suscipit massa vehicula eu.”

Boparai's version:

“Rrow itself, let it be sorrow; let him love it; let him pursue it, ishing for its acquisitiendum. Because he will ab hold, uniess but through concer, and also of those who resist. Now a pure snore disturbeded sum dust. He ejjnoyes, in order that somewon, also with a severe one, unless of life. May a cusstums offficer somewon nothing of a poison-filled. Until, from a twho, twho chaffinch may also pursue it, not even a lump. But as twho, as a tank; a proverb, yeast; or else they tinscribe nor. Yet yet dewlap bed. Twho may be, let him love fellows of a polecat. Now amour, the, twhose being, drunk, yet twhitch and, an enclosed valley’s always a laugh. In acquisitiendum the Furies are Earth; in (he takes up) a lump vehicles bien.”

Nick Richardson described the translation “like extreme Mallarmé, or a Burroughsian cut-up, or a paragraph of Finnegans Wake. Bits of it have surprising power: the desperate insistence on loving and pursuing sorrow, for instance, that is cheated out of its justification – an incomplete object that has been either fished for, or wished for.”

Usage and Examples

WORD PROCESSING SOFTWARE

DIGITAL IPSUM

The decade that brought us Star Trek and Doctor Who also resurrected Cicero—or at least what used to be Cicero—in an attempt to make the days before computerized design a little less painstaking.

The French lettering company Letraset manufactured a set of dry-transfer sheets which included the lorem ipsum filler text in a variety of fonts, sizes, and layouts. These sheets of lettering could be rubbed on anywhere and were quickly adopted by graphic artists, printers, architects, and advertisers for their professional look and ease of use.

Aldus Corporation, which later merged with Adobe Systems, ushered lorem ipsum into the information age with its desktop publishing software Aldus PageMaker. The program came bundled with lorem ipsum dummy text for laying out page content, and other word processors like Microsoft Word followed suit. More recently the growth of web design has helped proliferate lorem ipsum across the internet as a placeholder for future text—and in some cases the final content (this is why we proofread, kids).

Controversy in the Design World

STAR WARS LOREM IPSUM

DESIGN OR (DIS)CONTENT

Among design professionals, there's a bit of controversy surrounding the filler text. Controversy, as in Death to Lorem Ipsum.

The strength of lorem ipsum is its weakness: it doesn't communicate. To some, designing a website around placeholder text is unacceptable, akin to sewing a custom suit without taking measurements. Kristina Halvorson notes:

“I’ve heard the argument that “lorem ipsum” is effective in wireframing or design because it helps people focus on the actual layout, or color scheme, or whatever. What kills me here is that we’re talking about creating a user experience that will (whether we like it or not) be DRIVEN by words. The entire structure of the page or app flow is FOR THE WORDS.”

Lorem ipsum is so ubiquitous because it is so versatile. Select how many paragraphs you want, copy, paste, and break the lines wherever it is convenient. Real copy doesn't work that way.

As front-end developer Kyle Fiedler put it:

“When you are designing with Lorem Ipsum, you diminish the importance of the copy by lowering it to the same level as any other visual element. The text simply becomes another supporting role, serving to make other aspects more aesthetic. Instead of your design enhancing the meaning of the content, your content is enhancing your design.”

But despite zealous cries for the demise of lorem ipsum, others, such as Karen McGrane, offer appeals for moderation:

“Lorem Ipsum doesn’t exist because people think the content is meaningless window dressing, only there to be decorated by designers who can’t be bothered to read. Lorem Ipsum exists because words are powerful. If you fill up your page with draft copy about your client’s business, they will read it. They will comment on it. They will be inexorably drawn to it. Presented the wrong way, draft copy can send your design review off the rails.”

And that’s why a 15th century typesetter might have scrambled a passage of Cicero; he wanted people to focus on his fonts, to imagine their own content on the pages. He wanted people to see, and to get them to see he had to keep them from reading.

When to Use Lorem Ipsum

LOREM IPSUM WEBSITE

FORM OVER FUNCTION

So when is it okay to use lorem ipsum? First, lorem ipsum works well for staging. It's like the props in a furniture store—filler text makes it look like someone is home. The same Wordpress template might eventually be home to a fitness blog, a photography website, or the online journal of a cupcake fanatic. Lorem ipsum helps them imagine what the lived-in website might look like.

Second, use lorem ipsum if you think the placeholder text will be too distracting. For specific projects, collaboration between copywriters and designers may be best, however, like Karen McGrane said, draft copy has a way of turning any meeting about layout decisions into a discussion about word choice. So don't be afraid to use lorem ipsum to keep everyone focused.

One word of caution: make sure your client knows that lorem ipsum is filler text. You don't want them wondering why you filled their website with a foreign language, and you certainly don't want anyone prematurely publishing it.

Lorem Ipsum All the Things

BACON IPSUM GENERATOR

BECAUSE IT'S THE INTERNET

There was that time artists at Sequence opted to hand-Sharpie the lorem ipsum passage on a line of paper bags they designed for Chipotle—the result being a mixture of avant-garde, inside joke, and Sharpie-stained tables. Those with an eye for detail may have caught a tribute to the classic text in an episode of Mad Men (S6E1 around 1:18:55 for anyone that didn't). And here is a lorem ipsum tattoo.

Of course, we'd be remiss not to include the veritable cadre of lorem ipsum knock offs featuring:

Bacon Ipsum – Served all day. “Bacon ipsum dolor amet chicken turducken spare ribs.”

Hipster Ipsum – In case you're in need of a “shoreditch direct trade four dollar toast copper mug.”

Corporate Ipsum – “Leveraging agile frameworks to provide a robust synopsis” from eight to five.

Legal Ipsum – Fully unlicensed legalese for those times you don't want to pay $400/hr.

Not to mention, Cupcake Ipsum, Bob Ross Ipsum (“happy little clouds”), and the furry Cat Ipsum. And in case that's not enough, check out our very own Ultimate List of Lorem Ipsum Generators.

So there you have it. Lorem ipsum: the nonsense words unable to fully escape meaning.

CICERO'S DE FINIBUS OPENING PAGE

SECTION 1.10.32 OF CICERO'S “DE FINIBUS BONORUM ET MALORUM”

Original Latin text:

“Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem, quia voluptas sit, aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos, qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt, neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum, quia dolor sit amet consectetur adipisci[ng] velit, sed quia non numquam [do] eius modi tempora inci[di]dunt, ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem. Ut enim ad minima veniam, quis nostrum exercitationem ullam corporis suscipit laboriosam, nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequatur? Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit, qui in ea voluptate velit esse, quam nihil molestiae consequatur, vel illum, qui dolorem eum fugiat, quo voluptas nulla pariatur?”

Translation by H. Rackham:

“But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing of a pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?”

SECTION 1.10.33 OF CICERO'S “DE FINIBUS BONORUM ET MALORUM”

Original Latin text:

“At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus, qui blanditiis praesentium voluptatum deleniti atque corrupti, quos dolores et quas molestias excepturi sint, obcaecati cupiditate non provident, similique sunt in culpa, qui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum et dolorum fuga. Et harum quidem rerum facilis est et expedita distinctio. Nam libero tempore, cum soluta nobis est eligendi optio, cumque nihil impedit, quo minus id, quod maxime placeat, facere possimus, omnis voluptas assumenda est, omnis dolor repellendus. Temporibus autem quibusdam et aut officiis debitis aut rerum necessitatibus saepe eveniet, ut et voluptates repudiandae sint et molestiae non recusandae. Itaque earum rerum hic tenetur a sapiente delectus, ut aut reiciendis voluptatibus maiores alias consequatur aut perferendis doloribus asperiores repellat…”

Translation by H. Rackham:

“On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammeled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains.”

Tips To Consider When Choosing a Ute Toolbox

Trying to keep all your work essentials neatly organised and accessible always seems like a hassle, no matter how many years you’ve been in the industry. Fortunately, ute toolboxes have proven to be a reliable solution, keeping your essentials from sliding around in the back tray and securely tucked away when you’re clocking off for the day. Lockable toolboxes mounted onto the ute tray provide numerous benefits to keeping your day-to-day work moving smoothly. If you’re in the process of hiring a ute, here are some of the most important points to consider when adding toolboxes.

Types of Toolboxes

Ute toolboxes usually come in two main styles: Cross boxes (also known as saddle boxes) and chests.

Cross boxes – These are the most traditional forms of toolboxes. They span from one side of the ute to the other, floating above the tray and providing space underneath to place more items.

Chests – These toolboxes are sat on the floor of the ute tray, offering more space for tools but taking up room in the tray itself. They also come in simpler designs and are easier to install, bolting down to the floor.

Security 

As a tradie, the tools & other accessories that you own are the most valuable possessions for your business.

Replacing lost or stolen tools can affect your budget and delay the work that needs to be completed, creating further issues. Thankfully, ute hire companies such as TradieSpec offer heavy-duty lockable toolboxes to give you peace of mind when leaving work essentials unattended.

Weather Protection

Many ute toolboxes are usually designed for weather resistance, featuring seals to prevent rain, sand and other elements from entering and damaging the contents. However, the material used to make the actual toolboxes plays an important role in overall weather protection. Steel boxes are well-renowned for their strength & durability. However, if your work constantly takes you near coastal areas, rust and corrosion can become a pressing issue once the paint wears out. On the other hand, Aluminium toolboxes are rust-resistant and are much lighter, making them easier to move when the entire tray space is needed.

Extra Storage Spaces

Ute toolboxes are well-designed to meet the needs of tradies, usually featuring extra elements to make storage and organisation of tools more efficient. These include shelves, drawers, trays and more to keep accessories organised and prevent them from moving around while driving. This also means less time is spent before work searching for the tools that may have shifted around.

Replacement Vehicles

One of the most common reasons for hiring a ute is usually related to needing an accident replacement vehicle. If this resonates with you, chances are your original vehicle also probably had a place where you stored all your essentials. When considering a replacement vehicle, the correct specifications are crucial to getting your trade business back on the road. These features can include ladder racks, tow bars and toolboxes. Having a safe storage space for your possessions can also alleviate the pressure from waiting for your work vehicle repairs. TradieSpec provides accident replacement vehicles that come fully fitted to keep expensive tools safe.

Conclusion

Toolboxes are an important accessory for utes that have multiple benefits when it comes to getting trade businesses on the road. Aside from storage solutions, toolboxes provide a degree of protection for your valuable possessions, ensuring that your work continues uninterrupted.

Contact TradieSpec today for flexible rental options equipped with specifications suited to your business.

Top 5 Reasons to Hire Ute in Sydney

Moving to a new home or office in Sydney can be a stressful and time-consuming process. While many people rely on traditional moving companies or rental trucks, there’s a more flexible and cost-effective option that often goes under the radar – ute hire. Utes (utility vehicles) are a popular choice for transporting goods, furniture, and personal items, offering several advantages that make them ideal for your Sydney move. Here are the top 5 reasons why ute hire in Sydney should be your go-to choice for moving.

1. Cost-effective and Budget-Friendly

When planning a move, the costs can quickly add up, especially if you need to hire a large truck or pay for a full-service moving company. Ute hire is often much more affordable, particularly for smaller moves. Whether you’re moving out of a small apartment or need to transport a few pieces of furniture, hiring a ute allows you to pay only for the vehicle and time you need, without the extra overhead costs associated with larger trucks or professional movers.

2. Perfect for Smaller Moves and Tight Spaces

Sydney’s urban areas can have narrow streets, limited parking, and tight access points, making large trucks difficult to manoeuvre. Utes, on the other hand, are compact and versatile, allowing for easier access to crowded city streets and smaller parking spaces. This is particularly beneficial for moves in areas like the inner city or suburbs, where large moving trucks often struggle. Whether you’re moving furniture or just a few boxes, a ute offers the perfect size to navigate these tight spaces with ease.

3. Flexibility and Convenience

One of the main benefits of choosing ute hire for your Sydney move is the flexibility it offers. You can hire the ute for as long as you need, whether it’s a few hours or a full day. This flexibility allows you to move at your own pace without being rushed. Additionally, utes are typically available in various sizes and configurations, allowing you to pick one that best suits the size of your move. Whether you need a 2-seater or a 5-seater with a large tray, there’s a ute option that can accommodate your needs.

4. Easy to Load and Unload

Utes are designed to be practical, with a large open tray that makes loading and unloading items much easier compared to a traditional sedan or SUV. The flatbed design allows you to stack boxes and secure larger items like furniture without the limitations of a closed vehicle. Whether you’re moving heavy furniture, bulky appliances, or delicate boxes, the open space in the back of an ute makes loading and unloading smooth and efficient.

5. Great for Heavy Lifting and Outdoor Equipment

If your move involves heavy lifting or transporting outdoor equipment, such as gardening tools, sports gear, or machinery, utes are the perfect option. With their robust build and high payload capacity, utes can carry larger and heavier items that might not fit in a traditional car. This makes them ideal for moves that require more than just basic furniture transport, ensuring that everything from outdoor furniture to equipment is safely loaded and transported to your new location.

Conclusion

Ute hire offers numerous benefits that can make your Sydney move faster, easier, and more affordable. From navigating tight urban spaces to providing flexibility and ease of loading, utes provide the perfect solution for smaller moves, heavy lifting, and transporting a variety of items. Whether you’re moving a few boxes or heavy equipment, ute hire is a practical, budget-friendly, and convenient option that will make your moving experience stress-free. So, the next time you’re planning a move to Sydney, consider hiring a ute – it could be the perfect vehicle for your needs.

On the Move: Exploring the Convenience of Van Rental Services

In a world where mobility is key, van rental services have become a versatile solution for individuals and businesses alike. Whether it's a weekend getaway, a group outing, or a business logistics need, renting a van offers flexibility and convenience. In this article, we delve into the advantages and considerations of van rental services, shedding light on how they cater to the diverse needs of modern consumers.

The Rise of Van Rental Services:

Van rental services Sydney have experienced a surge in popularity due to the changing dynamics of transportation needs. Beyond traditional car rentals, vans provide the extra space and seating capacity required for group travel, making them an ideal choice for families, friends, and organizations.

Versatility for Various Occasions:

One of the primary advantages of van rental services is their versatility. From moving to a new home and transporting bulky items to organizing group outings or corporate events, vans offer the space and convenience that standard cars may lack. This adaptability makes van rentals suitable for a wide range of occasions, providing a cost-effective alternative to purchasing or maintaining a larger vehicle for occasional use.

Group Travel Made Easy:

For group travel, be it a family vacation or a team-building retreat, vans are designed to accommodate more passengers comfortably. Many van rental services offer a range of options, from standard passenger vans to luxury models with additional amenities. The spacious interiors ensure that everyone can travel together, fostering a sense of camaraderie and making the journey as enjoyable as the destination.

Cost-Effective Transportation Solutions:

For businesses and individuals on a budget, van rentals present a cost-effective transportation solution. Rather than investing in a larger vehicle with ongoing maintenance costs, van rental services allow customers to pay only for the time and distance they need. This cost efficiency is particularly beneficial for one-time events or sporadic transportation needs.

Convenient Moving Solutions:

Moving can be a daunting task, especially when dealing with furniture, appliances, or other sizable items. Van rental services offer a practical solution for individuals or small businesses in need of temporary transportation for moving purposes. The loading capacity and spacious interiors of vans simplify the moving process, providing a hassle-free alternative to hiring professional moving services.

Considerations for Van Rental:

While van rental services offer numerous advantages, it's essential for customers to consider certain factors before making a reservation. These include the size of the van needed, rental duration, fuel efficiency, and any additional features required. Thoroughly understanding the terms and conditions of the rental agreement, including mileage limits and insurance coverage, is crucial for a smooth rental experience.

Booking Convenience and Accessibility:

The convenience of booking plays a significant role in the popularity of van rental services. Many providers offer online platforms that allow customers to browse available vehicles, compare prices, and make reservations from the comfort of their homes. This accessibility simplifies the rental process, saving customers time and effort.

Safety and Maintenance Standards:

Ensuring the safety and reliability of rental vehicles is paramount. Reputable van rental services prioritize regular maintenance and adhere to safety standards to provide customers with well-maintained and dependable vehicles. Before finalizing a rental, customers should inquire about the service provider's maintenance practices and inspect the van for any pre-existing issues.

What’s The Difference: Diesel Vs Petrol Utes

If you are a veteran of the tradie industry, then it’s more than likely that you’ve heard the age-old debate of petrol vs diesel. It’s often the case that people will swear by diesel fuel as being the perfect fit for utes.

However, looking past specific biases and examining their differences can reveal that each fuel type has advantages and disadvantages.

Before renting your next ute, always consider what suits your trade business and budget. The differences outlined below will serve as a guide to help you make up your mind.

POWER & PERFORMANCE

Diesel ute models often have the reputation of being slower than their petrol counterparts. When comparing the two in a straight line, this is mostly true.

One of the main ways to increase diesel ute power is to have a turbocharged engine. This will bring the peak power-to-weight ratio closer to petrol engines but can make the vehicle feel sluggish to drive due to turbo lag.

The main advantage of diesel comes in its off-road performance. Low rev torque reduces the chances of stalling when climbing over rocks and obstacles. This performance contrasts with petrol utes that often require higher revs to keep moving uphill and over other obstacles. So, if you are a tradie that finds themselves working on sites without established roads, it’s best to rent a ute with diesel engines.

ENGINE BRAKING

The design of a diesel engine also gives it another advantage when driving off-road. Its ability for unrestricted air intake means that fuel injection determines the power/rpm.

On the other hand, petrol engines require a constant fuel/air mix with a throttle plate regulating the amount of air in the intake.

On average, the engine compression ratio when downhill braking is 20:1 for diesel compared to 9:1 in most petrol engines. In essence, diesel offers higher resistance to an increase in RPM.

This resistance is due to the large air intake of the engine while idling or crawling down a descent.

A petrol engine with a closed intake will draw in less air during braking and hence be more likely to run away than diesel.

It’s important to note that most tradies who work in city or suburban sites will find that driving a rental ute with a petrol engine makes no difference given the relatively flat terrain & smooth roads.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE

Diesel utes require far more frequent maintenance than a petrol-engine ute. Usually, diesel engines should have their oil changed every 5,000 km and an oil filter every 10,000 km.

Moreover, maintenance and repair costs can build up when parts such as the turbocharger seals start leaking or fuel pumps need replacing. Regular maintenance costs for diesel can eventually overtake that of petrol engine services.

Off-road driving can also increase the risk and number of diesel engine parts breaking down. Petrol engines require fewer spare parts to be kept on hand, being able to be repaired to a point for proper maintenance at a service centre.

Busy tradies may find this an important point, especially if you are driving in a ute that is rent to own, meaning that the vehicle will be yours once the contract is complete.

FUEL ECONOMY

Diesel engines perform better in this category. Higher engine compression means 30-40% better fuel efficiency than petrol engines. This performance translates to 30-40% more kilometres per tank. Tradies constantly moving between sites or travelling into rural areas may find this is a blessing.

CONCLUSION

There are several differences between petrol & diesel engines that can affect the rental process for a tradie ute. It all comes down to where your work regularly takes you. Working on off-road sites or in rural areas means that the performance of the diesel engine ute will suit you better. However, if you are a city worker, petrol utes work just as well, especially its quieter noise profile and less frequent maintenance.

Fortunately, TradieSpec is a ute hire company in Sydney that offers both petrol & diesel utes for rent, meaning you won’t have to go far before weighing the options. Contact us today for flexible rental options to get your trade business on the road.
