Renting Heavy Equipment: guides and checklists
A hire has five stages: deciding what you need, asking for quotes, agreeing terms, taking delivery and returning the machine. These guides cover each one. You will see what a request must state so quotes can be compared, what wet hire and dry hire mean, who supplies the operator, and how standby time, fuel and return condition are settled in writing. They also help you judge when renting beats buying. Start with writing a clear request, then read how to compare quotes.
