Before you book
- Measure the job, not the tool: 30 m² of concrete tells you the mixer size, not guesswork
- Check the product voltage and your available power supply before booking
- Allow time for preparation, safe operation and clearing the work area
- Ask what consumables are included — discs, blades and buckets
On delivery
Ask what information is provided at handover and read the manufacturer's instructions. The operator remains responsible for using equipment safely and following site controls.
The three mistakes everyone makes
- Choosing from the product name alone instead of checking the specification
- Missing a narrow gate, step, slope or parking restriction from the enquiry
- Assuming attachments, consumables or protective equipment are included
Measurements and photos sent before booking are more useful than guesswork on the day.
Common questions
Do I need experience to hire tools?+
Requirements vary by equipment and site. Tell us who will use it and where so suitability and any competence requirements can be checked.
What ID do I need to hire?+
Identification and payment requirements are confirmed for the item before booking. Van drivers should expect licence and eligibility checks.
What if the tool stops working mid-hire?+
Stop using it safely and contact us straight away. The next step will follow the terms agreed for the hire.
