What to Know Before You Hire
Never hired a machine before? No worries. Here are a few things to know before you get digging.
-
For private residential use, you don’t need a specific licence to operate our mini excavator or Bobcat.
Different requirements may apply when machinery is being used in a workplace or commercial setting, so it’s your responsibility to make sure you meet any relevant WHS or site requirements.
-
No previous experience is required to hire our machines. Skiddy and Kitty are compact, straightforward machines with smooth controls, making them a great option for DIY projects as well as experienced operators.
You’ll still need to operate the equipment safely and in accordance with the instructions provided.
-
Yep. Our machines are dry hire, which means you hire the machine and operate it yourself - there’s no operator included.
It’s a simple and affordable way to get access to the machinery you need without paying someone else to do the whole job.
-
Yes. Your machine will be supplied clean and fully fuelled, ready for you to get to work.
We ask that it’s returned fully fuelled and in a reasonably clean condition. Additional charges may apply if refuelling or excessive cleaning is required.
-
Absolutely. We offer delivery and collection for $60 each way, or $120 return.
You can also arrange to collect and return the machine yourself from Howard Springs, subject to suitable towing requirements.
-
