Dry Hire vs Wet Hire

When you hire equipment, it is important to understand the difference between dry and wet hire. Dry hire is when you hire equipment-only, with all that follows in its use left up to you. Wet hire is when you hire the equipment, and then operators come along with it.

If you’re qualified and confident using machinery, and willing to do the job yourself then our dry hire equipment solutions are for you. If you’re a little less experienced in this area, or pressed for time, we have a wet equipment hire and operation solution to suit your needs.

Leg Rammer

Leg rammers are typically used for compacting soil or aggregate in small, confined spaces where larger machinery can’t reach. A compact leg rammer is a smaller, more maneuverable tool, designed for use in tighter spaces or for lighter-duty tasks. It has a smaller footprint and is easier to handle compared to traditional leg rammers.
