Dry Hire on the Sunshine Coast

Dry hire means renting machinery or equipment without an operator. The customer is responsible for operating the equipment themselves, following safety procedures and returning it in good condition. This option suits those who already have experience or qualifications to run machinery such as excavators, bobcats or tipper trucks on their project site.

Most small construction and landscaping machines, such as mini excavators or bobcats, don’t require a special licence, but operators should be competent and familiar with safe handling. Larger equipment may have specific licensing or training requirements depending on its size, weight and usage. Always check local regulations before operating hired machinery.

Dry hire options commonly include excavators, bobcats, skid steer loaders, mini diggers, tipper trucks and landscaping attachments like augers or compactors. These machines are available for short or long-term use and are suited for earthmoving, digging, site preparation and general property or construction work. Equipment choice depends on project needs and access conditions.
