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. 

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.

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.
