Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between wet hire & dry hire?
Wet hire includes both the excavator and a qualified operator, while dry hire provides just the machine. Wet hire is ideal for anyone who isn't licensed or experienced in operating heavy equipment, or who wants the peace of mind that comes with having a trained professional on site. It also reduces the risk of damage and ensures the machine is used safely and efficiently. Dry hire, by contrast, requires the hirer to have suitable knowledge, experience, and often additional insurance coverage. For most residential and commercial projects, wet hire offers convenience, safety and less hassle.
Do you need a licence to operate an excavator in Queensland?
While a high-risk work licence isn’t typically required to operate an excavator in Queensland, you must be able to demonstrate competency. This means having the proper training, experience, and understanding of site safety rules. For commercial work or construction environments, it's important that operators meet workplace health and safety (WHS) standards. Wet hire is often the preferred option because it includes a trained, ticketed operator who meets all regulatory requirements—ensuring the job is done correctly and safely.
What type of excavator is best for tight access sites?
For tight access jobs such as backyard renovations, landscaping, or small-scale trenching, a mini excavator is often the best solution. These compact machines can fit through narrow entryways and operate efficiently in confined areas without compromising power. They’re ideal for work in residential zones or any location where space is limited. Choosing the right size and configuration ensures minimal disruption to surrounding structures and allows for more precise excavation work.
