Wet Hire vs Dry Hire
Wet Hire – Machine + experienced operator

You supply a competent operator. Ideal for longer projects or when you already have experienced staff on site.
Both options include the hydraulic quick hitch and dozer blade as standard.

The machine is fitted with a hydraulic dual-lock quick hitch as standard, so changing attachments on site is quick and safe.
Attachments are hired separately according to your job requirements:
