Frequently Asked Questions

  • What’s the difference between wet and dry hire?

    Wet hire means the machine comes with an experienced operator who handles the work. Dry hire means you hire the machine only and operate it yourself if you’re licensed and confident.

  • How do I choose the right machine for the job?

    The right choice depends on your site and what you need done. Excavators are best for digging or trenching, while the tipper handles material transport and the posi-track is ideal for levelling.

  • Do I need a licence for dry hire?

    Yes, you’ll need the appropriate licence and experience to operate machinery safely under dry hire. For most jobs, wet hire is the easier and safer option.
