As you would expect, there are specialist providers of all kinds of heavy plant, or equipment, that is used for construction work and these businesses provide an essential service to small builders and individuals. An excavator, for example, is a very costly piece of kit and certainly the small builder would not have the budget to acquire such a machine, but with plant hire solutions, the builder can hire an excavator by the hour.
Online Solutions
If you are in need of heavy-duty plant, a Google search will help you locate a local plant hire company such as ASAP Hire, in North Shore, who would have a wide range of excavators, tipper trucks and power tools for hire on a short or long-term basis. If you require a skilled operator/driver, you can hire both machine and operator, while you can also hire equipment without operators.
Earthmoving
It is often the case where a new building is planned to replace an existing structure that needs to be demolished and the rubble and excess earth can be taken away by tipper truck. The great thing about plant hire is that the provider is responsible for the condition of the equipment, ensuring that you receive a fully working machine that is ready for a hard day’s work. If, for example, you are planning to add a swimming pool to your property, a hire digger and a tipper truck is all you need to prepare the ground for the pool foundations.
Power Tools
The type of equipment you can hire includes the following:
- Saws of all types.
- Stone cutting tools.
- Concrete brakers – Powered by compressed air.
- Drills.
- Vibrators for concrete.
- Rebar benders
The plant hire firm would have a large inventory to ensure the equipment you need is always available and if you need something they do not have, they can acquire the equipment at short notice.
Mini-Excavators
Residential projects often require a small excavator that can fit through a typical gateway, which is ideal for digging out a foundation for a terrace or patio and you can hire with or without an operator. Machines such as the Bobcat are ideal for working in confined spaces and the hire company would deliver the machine on a low-loader, ready to work on your project.
Hiring heavy machinery is very convenient as the machinery is fully serviced prior to deployment and should there be any issues, a replacement machine can quickly be sourced and delivered to your site.
