There are many types of plant hire machinery that you can choose from for your project, but which one would be best? You need to consider the size, location, obstacles and timeframe of your project before you go and hire so here are some helpful tips to get you started!
Backyard Projects
Backyard projects are generally small scale when it comes to plant machinery hire. It may seem like a large task to you but get a bobcat in there and your project will be done in no time!
Backyards are a tight fit for most plant machinery so it is better to use smaller equipment such as your bobcat, skid steer and smaller excavators. You can use a tipper truck to haul materials away, which is a great idea as the bobcats can load it up out on the street.
Commercial And Industrial Projects
Commercial and industrial projects are your larger scale projects that tend to last for months or even years at a time. These projects generally require tasks such as bulk earthmoving, trenching and grading to be performed over a vast area.
In this case, larger plant hire machinery is needed. These machines include your dozers and large excavators, which are great for earthmoving, graders, which will level out the area of your worksite and tipper or water trucks to move materials off site and reduce dust.
Great All-rounders
Excavators are your great all-rounders! They can handle different types of projects with the various attachments that they come with. Whether it is earthmoving, trenching, drilling or digging holes you will have the perfect machinery performing your task.
Bobcats and skid steers are also very versatile being able to level out your project area while performing earthmoving and rubbish removal tasks. Though not as versatile as an excavator they come in at a close second for any project!

There is no denying that tipper trucks are one of the most reliable machines on the work site. They are versatile and carry heavy loads to and from a site without having to make large amounts of trips. You also have the choice of using tipper truck hire services so you don’t have to purchase or maintain the machinery yourself. So what other advantages are there?
Large Scale Projects
Whether you choose tipper truck hire or own your own there is no doubt that these machines are great for large scale worksites. They are great for earthmoving projects as they can be loaded up and the dirt can be removed from the site with ease.
Tipper trucks are also indispensable during big clean up operations and tidying up a site once the project has been completed. This is because the rubbish can be loaded up straight away and taken to the tip which makes it so much easier than hauling multiple loads in utes or other smaller vehicles.
Transporting Materials
Whatever materials you need a tipper truck to haul they will deliver it with efficiency! Tipper trucks are designed to take on heavy loads and transport them to various sites, whether that is the tip or another worksite. Some even haul smaller machinery such as excavators so that separate trailers don’t have to be used.
This versatility means that tipper trucks can be used in various industries including construction, landscaping, machinery hire, waste management and more. They can also be used for large scale domestic projects, in which case, you are better off using tipper truck hire if it is a once-off project.
Cost Effectiveness
As tipper trucks can haul large amounts of material and don’t need to make as many trips as smaller vehicles they are more cost effective. This is especially the case for construction projects where large amounts of materials need to be delivered to the site to build homes and commercial buildings.
Tipper truck hire is also cost effective, as you don’t need to worry about purchasing your own vehicle and maintaining it then finding an operator. As a wet plant hire company, we provide the machinery without the cost to sustain it, which is perfect for reducing project costs.

Dust around constructions sites is a common occurrence, which can affect the health of your workers in the long term. Different types of dust will have different effects but you should ensure that any dust on the worksite is mitigated using Brisbane water truck hire.
Types Of Dust
Types of dust that are commonly found on a construction site include silica, metal dust, asbestos and wood dust. Metal and wood dust is created from their respective materials. Silica dust, on the other hand, comes from a range of materials including bricks, cement, drywall, stone and grout. This is usually spread when these materials are cut, ground or drilled into.
Asbestos is one of the better known materials that is dangerous when it becomes dust. It can be found in buildings that are older than 40 years and should be handled by professionals with the right qualifications.
The Dangers
There are many dangers that surround dust that can affect both people and machinery. It can interfere with the operation of machinery if it gets into key working parts. Dust can also create slip hazards, in severe cases can cause blindness and if inhaled can badly damage the lungs.
The biggest danger dust possesses is when it is breathed in for extended periods of time. This can cause a multitude of health problems including breathing difficulties, respiratory diseases and cancer.
How To Mitigate Dust
There are a few ways that you can mitigate dust. The first is providing the correct protective gear for your workers, especially if they are working with materials that easily creates dust.
To reduce the spread of this dust on the worksite it is best to wet the whole area using our Brisbane water truck hire. This will reduce the risk of other workers on the site inhaling and having issues caused by dust.
