Tools & equipment on hire
What information a hire quote needs
Site, workshop and facility equipment. Hire period and rate basis are confirmed in the written quotation.
Answer
What information do you need to quote for equipment hire?
Explanation
The five things
- The job. What you are breaking, cutting, mixing, cleaning or moving, and roughly how much.
- Equipment category. A category is enough — a suitable machine is identified against the job.
- Dates. Planned start and planned return. You set these.
- Site location. Where the equipment goes, or whether you are collecting.
- Access. Road, turning, unloading, floor level, permitted hours.
Detail
What speeds it up further
- Power available on site, and whether single or three phase
- Whether operator support is required
- Accessories or consumables you already know you need
- A photograph of the working position where access is unusual
- How many hours a day the site works
The hire list on this site captures all of it in one structured message, with an enquiry reference both sides can quote.
Detail
What we cannot tell you in advance
How long your job will take, and therefore how long to hire for. That depends on the material, the machine, the operator and the site. We can tell you what is available across the dates you choose.
Questions
Also asked
Do I need to know the exact machine?
No. Describe the work and the category. Naming a machine you are unsure about is more likely to produce the wrong one than describing the job.
How quickly will I get a reply?
We do not publish a response time we cannot consistently meet. Sending complete information in one message is what makes a same-conversation answer possible.
