Terms of Hire

Wet Hire & Dry Hire

Wet hire means we supply the machine and an experienced operator who runs it for you. Dry hire means we supply the machine only, delivered to your site, for you or your licensed operator to run. Which one applies is confirmed in your quote.

Operator Competency (Dry Hire)

For dry hire, you are responsible for making sure anyone operating the machine holds the correct licences and tickets and is competent to run it safely. The machine must only be used for the purpose it is designed for.

Delivery, Site Access & Safety

• You are responsible for providing safe, clear and legal access to the site for delivery and pickup
• You must let us know of any underground services, hazards or ground conditions before work starts
• The site must comply with all relevant work health and safety requirements
• You are responsible for any permits, dial-before-you-dig checks and approvals the job needs

Care of the Equipment

While a machine is in your care (dry hire), you agree to use it correctly, keep it secure, and not modify it or let it be used by anyone who is not competent. The machine remains our property at all times.

Damage, Loss & Insurance

For dry hire, you are responsible for the machine from delivery until we collect it, including loss, theft or damage beyond fair wear and tear. We recommend you confirm your own insurance covers hired plant. Any damage waiver or insurance option and the excess that applies are set out in your quote.

Breakdowns & Faults

Our machines are maintained and kept job-ready, and both owners are trained mechanics, so a mechanical fault that is our responsibility gets sorted quickly. Faults caused by misuse, operator error or damage on site are the hirer’s responsibility. Please stop using the machine and call us straight away if anything goes wrong.

Payment

Prices, any deposit and payment terms are set out in your written quote. Unless agreed otherwise, payment is due as stated on your invoice.

Cancellations & Changes

If you need to change or cancel a booking, let us know as early as you can. Any cancellation terms or fees for short-notice changes will be set out in your quote or confirmed with you when you book.

Your Consumer Rights

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any rights or remedies you have under the Australian Consumer Law. Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under that law.
