What we do
We hire out earthmoving, lifting and haulage machines, each with an experienced operator or driver: TLBs, excavators, bobcats, tippers, side tippers, mobile cranes, crane trucks, cherry pickers, graders, rollers, water trucks, lowbeds and more, plus generators and small plant. And we do the jobs those machines are for: site clearing, trenching, earthworks, dams, demolition, roads and driveways and long-term mining hire.
Our clients are small builders and contractors who need a machine for a few days, property owners and farmers with a one-off job, installers who work at height, and mines and industrial sites that hire by the month.
How we work
- WhatsApp first. Send the job, the town and the dates; a real person answers and prices it.
- Price in writing before the machine moves, with transport both ways as its own line.
- Deposit to book, then the machine and operator are on site on the agreed day.
- Certified operators and load-tested lifting machines, with copies of the certificates before arrival on request.
- A replacement machine on breakdown, or no charge for downtime.
The step-by-step version is on how it works.
Why our prices are published
Most people hiring a machine for the first time have no idea what it should cost. So we publish our price guide for every machine, by the hour, day and month, on the plant hire rates page and the price tool. Your final price is confirmed in writing for your exact machine, dates and site.
