Hire enquiries, quotes & the advice library
Kay looks after hire enquiries and quotes at Equip Hire, and writes the practical guides in the Advice Centre.
The guides cover what customers actually ask before hiring: which machine fits the job, whether it fits through the gate, what the ground will take, and how delivery works. Safety and licensing information is checked against manufacturer manuals and SafeWork NSW guidance, and reviewed separately before publication.
Those four answers prevent most hiring mistakes before a machine leaves the yard.
Working-at-height basics, harness rules on boom lifts, and making pre-start checks routine rather than paperwork.
