Common questions
Operated plant hire: your questions.
How soon can you get plant to site?
It depends on what is already booked. Call us with what you need and where, and we will give you an honest date.
Are your operators carded?
Yes. Our operators hold the cards for the machines they run. They complete your site induction and follow your permits and site hours.
Can we hire plant and then add a groundwork package?
Yes. Clients often start with operated plant and then ask us to price the rest of the groundwork once we know the site.
