Frequently Asked Questions
What types of earthmoving equipment can I hire?
Earthmoving equipment hire typically includes a wide range of machinery designed for excavation, site preparation, and material handling. Common options include excavators, skid steers, loaders, backhoes, rollers, and compactors. You can also hire accessories like buckets, augers, rock breakers, and rippers to increase the functionality of your chosen machine. Whether you're working on a landscaping project, digging trenches for plumbing, or preparing a construction site, there’s equipment to suit every scale of work.
Do I need a licence to operate earthmoving equipment?
Yes, in most cases you’ll need a valid licence or certification to operate heavy earthmoving machinery. Equipment such as excavators, loaders, and rollers typically fall under regulated categories, requiring the operator to hold an appropriate ticket or verification of competency. Always check your local workplace safety regulations before operating any plant equipment. If you don’t have the right licence, you may need to hire a licensed operator or seek training before use.
Can I hire equipment with attachments included?
Yes, many plant hire companies allow you to hire earthmoving equipment with specific attachments tailored to your job. Attachments like augers, rock breakers, trenchers, or grapples can be matched to compatible machinery such as excavators or skid steers. When booking, simply let the provider know what kind of work you’re doing—whether it's digging holes, breaking concrete, or moving material—and they can help you choose the right attachments to increase efficiency and productivity on site.
