What is Wet Hire? in The Gap
Wet hire means you're hiring the excavator AND the operator together. It's the easiest, safest option for most residential projects. You don't need an excavator licence, you don't need to worry about machine maintenance or transport, and you get an operator who knows Brisbane soil conditions, underground service locations, and council requirements.
Wet Hire vs Dry Hire in The Gap
Dry hire means you rent just the machine and operate it yourself — you'll need a licence, insurance, and experience. For most homeowners and builders, wet hire is the better option. You get professional results without the risk. Our wet hire rates are competitive because we're efficient — an experienced operator gets more done in less time, saving you money overall.
