Frequently Asked Questions
What types of projects typically require plant hire?
Plant hire is essential for a wide range of projects across farming, construction, and civil works. Common tasks include dam excavation, land clearing, road construction, trenching, foundation digging, and bulk earthworks. Hiring equipment like dozers, graders, and excavators is often more cost-effective than owning, especially for short-term or seasonal work. It allows access to modern, well-maintained machinery without the burden of servicing, storage, or licensing. Projects in remote areas also benefit from the availability of transportable plant hire. Whether it's prepping land for crops or laying infrastructure, plant hire services provide flexible, scalable solutions tailored to project demands.
What are the advantages of choosing wet hire over owning your own machinery?
Wet hire offers significant benefits over purchasing and maintaining your own equipment. Firstly, it gives you access to the latest, well-maintained machinery without the high capital costs of ownership. This is particularly useful for short-term or project-based work. Wet hire also includes an experienced operator, eliminating the need for training or licensing. It reduces downtime, as maintenance is handled by the provider, and ensures professional execution of complex tasks. For businesses without the resources to invest in a full equipment fleet, wet hire provides a scalable and cost-effective solution. It also offers flexibility, allowing you to match equipment to specific jobs.
How often should farm dams be inspected and maintained?
Farm dams should be inspected at least twice a year, with more frequent checks during the wet season or following heavy rainfall. Regular inspections help identify leaks, erosion, or silt build-up early, reducing the risk of failure or water loss. Maintenance tasks may include clearing spillways, repairing embankments, managing vegetation, and desilting the dam bed. Monitoring water levels and inflow/outflow behaviour also helps identify underlying issues. Scheduled maintenance ensures that the dam functions efficiently and remains safe for stock, irrigation, or fire protection. Neglecting dam upkeep can lead to costly repairs, environmental damage, or reduced water availability during dry periods.
