Frequently Asked Questions About Construction Equipment Hire
What kind of construction plant equipment is available for hire?
APU Excavations & Rentals offers a growing fleet of essential construction tools including tippers, vibrators, compactors, saws and locating equipment. Each item is maintained to high standards and suited for specific stages like cutting, compacting, or underground works.
What’s the difference between wet hire and dry hire, and when does each apply?
Wet hire includes the machine and an operator supplied by APU, which is ideal for clients without trained personnel. Dry hire gives you the equipment only. Your staff operate it, which is useful for experienced licensed users. Choice depends on your requirements, site access, risk profile, and timeline.
How do site access, ground conditions or location affect equipment hire?
Restricted access sites, soft or muddy ground, or remote locations can affect which equipment you can use safely, transport logistics, and hire duration. APU can assess your site (via photos or site visit) to recommend appropriate machines and explain any extra costs or adjustments required.
Do I need a licence to operate an excavator?
Yes. APU Excavations & Rentals offers flexible hire terms and can arrange urgent or after-hours equipment hire depending on availability and location.
