A week is considered to be a working week, Monday to Friday. We have weekend hire rates and day rates. Contact us for details if you want to hire for 3 days or more then a weekly hire charge is cheaper for you than a daily rate.
We can get one of our fitters out to you to replace a track. The cost to do this depends on the time to do the job and distance and could cost from £30 + VAT to a local job for a small machine up to £100 + VAT for an 8 tonne machine. Machines over 8 tonne would cost more.
This would incur a weekend charge on top of your weekly charge. However if you intend to keep the machine into the following week we usually don't charge for the weekend. (Entirely at our discretion)
We can arrange for a fitter to attend but this cost will be contra charged to you. The cost is to repair a puncture is usually around £60 + VAT
If the machine is returned to us with minor scratches we don't usually charge but if there is any serious damage, dents or scratches to panels, rams or other parts you will be billed for the damage to be repaired.
We keep our hire rates low to benefit you so we cannot absorb the cost of fuel, drivers and the trucks. Other companies may offer free delivery but the cost of the machinery will be more.
Our machines will be delivered to you full of fuel. Your hire cost does not include fuel unless you specifically ask us to include it. You should return the machine full of fuel. If we have to refuel we will charge you to refill the tank. Ask us about fuel bowsers for short or long term hire contracts which will save you time and money.
