Hire equipment charges are based on the following calculation. However, there are some groups of hire equipment that are exceptions and these have specific charges for day hire or week hire. Each class of equipment on this website has its own rates and these can be seen under the groups on the left of the home screen.
| 1 day | 50% of a week |
| 2 day | 65% of a week |
| 3 day | 85% of a week |
| 4-7days | 100% of a week |
Charges after 7 days are charged per day as an equal percentage of the week rate.
For the rates on plant hire equipment please ask at your local depot.
