Dry hire refers to renting a mini excavator without an operator. When you opt for dry hire, you or your team are responsible for operating the equipment during the rental period.

A mini excavator is a compact and versatile construction machine used for digging, trenching, landscaping, and various other tasks. It's smaller in size than regular excavators and is ideal for projects with limited space.

Dry hire gives you greater control over your project, allowing you to use your own skilled operator. This can often result in cost savings and the ability to work at your own pace.

We offer flexible rental periods, including daily, weekly, and monthly options. You can choose the duration that best suits your project timeline.

Yes, you can extend the rental period. Simply contact us as soon as you know an extension is required, and we will make the necessary arrangements.

You are responsible for any damages that occur during the rental period.  All equipment is fully insured (excluding negligence as per hire agreement). Repair costs will be assessed and if required an insurance claim will be lodged by the owner at the owners discretion and an excess of $750 is required to be paid by the hirer within 24 hours of claim lodgement.
