Frequently asked questions

  • Is the price listed for 24-hour hire or same-day hire?

    All prices are for 24-hour hire. We have flexible business hours across our three depots. We offer before and after business hours pick up and drop off, because we know traffic is not always kind.

  • Do I need to refuel and wash the machine after use?

    Yes please! Same as renting a car, we would like the machines returned the same way you got it. All machines come with a full tank of diesel and have been cleaned prior to your hire. We charge a fee if you ask us to refuel and clean it for you.

  • I would like to pick up a mini dumper myself. What are the requirements for my vehicle?

    To tow a 1 ton excavator, you need a vehicle with at least 1.5 ton towing capacity.

    To tow a 1.7 ton excavator, you need a vehicle with at least 2 ton towing capacity.

    To tow a 2.5 ton excavator, you need a vehicle with at least 3.5 ton towing capacity and electric brakes.


    We can deliver machinery direct to your job site Melbourne-wide for an additional fee. 

  • Do you provide operators?

    Yes, operators can be provided as part of your hire package.
