Tools & equipment on hire
Hire periods and rate basis
Site, workshop and facility equipment. Hire period and rate basis are confirmed in the written quotation.
Answer
How is a hire period agreed?
Explanation
What affects the rate basis
Every hire involves handling that does not change with the length of the period: checking the machine out, transport, checking it back in and servicing between hires. How that is reflected is confirmed in the written quotation for the requirement.
Detail
Transport is the hidden cost
Two separate hire periods mean two deliveries and two collections; one continuous period means one of each. Where delivery is involved, the transport arrangement is confirmed in the written quotation.
Detail
Planning the period honestly
Book the period you realistically need, including setup and dismantling time on access equipment. Equipment kept beyond the agreed period without notice may affect another booking. How an unnotified overrun is treated is confirmed in the written quotation.
The customer supplies proposed dates. The written quotation confirms the hire period, rate basis, transport arrangements, extension procedure and early-return treatment for that requirement.
