FAQ

1. What is dry hiring? Dry hiring equipment refers to renting equipment without operators or additional services.

​

3. How do I get the machine to my place? All equipment that can fit on a trailer comes supplied on a trailer, meaning you can tow the machine and save money on transport. For larger items, we can arrange transport using our in-house Tilt Tray service or by arranging subcontractors. We can also arrange for delivery of any item we have for hire.

​

4. Do I need electric brakes in my car? No – All our trailers are set up to not require electric brakes in the tow vehicle; only the adequate towing capacity is required.
