Long-Term Excavator Dry Hire
Our core model — flexible long-term dry hire on a late-model Kubota, typically 3 to 6 months at a time. No minimum term, no lock-in contract, and a predictable weekly cost you can plan a job around.
Why long-term dry hire makes sense
For a job that runs for months, long-term dry hire almost always works out cheaper per week than buying or financing your own machine — and there’s no capital tied up in a piece of gear you’ll only need for one project.
Because it’s bare rental that you operate, you skip the ownership headaches: no servicing schedule to chase, no rego, no machine to insure long-term, no resale to worry about at the end. You get a well-maintained excavator and a predictable weekly figure — and when the job wraps up, so does the hire.
Cheaper Per Week
Long-term rates are set lower than short bursts of casual hire, so the longer you’re on it, the better it works out — without tying up your cash in a machine.
No Ownership Headaches
It’s bare rental you operate — no rego, no long-term machine insurance and no servicing schedule for you to manage. We keep the machine maintained.
Predictable Weekly Cost
A steady weekly rate you can budget and price your job against — published up front, GST included, with no surprises at the end.
Who long-term hire suits
Builders and civil crews running a site over several months get a machine that stays put and stays ready — no re-booking, no re-delivering every week. Landscapers on big multi-stage jobs get the same certainty of cost and availability.
It also suits owner-builders on a long project — if you’re going to be digging, trenching and shifting dirt for months, a rolling long-term dry hire is far more economical than short casual blocks or owning outright.
Rolling & Flexible
Hire runs on a flexible rolling weekly basis with no lock-in. Keep it as long as the job needs it and wind it up when you’re done — no minimum term.
Scale Up Or Down
Job timeline shifts? Extend or scale back as your program changes. Just give us a heads-up and we’ll sort the machine and the paperwork.
On Site, Delivery Sorted
The machine stays on your site for the duration — we handle the float delivery and pickup, priced by distance from our Campbellfield yard.
