FAQs
Wet hire is the supply of rental machinery with a qualified operator included. This option covers the machine, the operator’s labour, and typically fuel, allowing the equipment to be used safely and productively from day one.
Wet plant hire is well-suited to complex or high-risk works where experience, compliance, and efficiency are paramount.
By engaging a licensed operator, you reduce labour coordination, minimise safety and compliance risk, and gain confidence that the machinery is being used correctly for consistent results.
Dry hire refers to rental machinery without an operator, meaning the equipment is handled by your own personnel.
With this cost-effective option, you only pay for the machine, making it ideal for businesses with experienced, appropriately licensed operators already on site. It’s often used to supplement existing fleets or scale capacity for short-term projects.
Our fleet covers a full range of civil and earthmoving equipment, including skid steers, excavators, loaders, graders, backhoe loaders, rollers, water carts, tippers, road reclaimers, and heavy haulage equipment.
This breadth allows us to support everything from high-precision civil works through to bulk earthworks, material transport, road construction, and concrete preparation. Whatever your requirements, hire the right equipment with Stripes.
