Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between wet and dry hire?

    Wet hire means hiring both the machine and an experienced operator to run it, making it ideal for clients without trained staff. Dry hire is equipment-only, giving you the flexibility to use your own team. Choosing between the two depends on your project needs, budget, and workforce.

  • Why should I hire equipment instead of buying it?

    Hiring equipment saves you the upfront cost of purchasing, as well as the ongoing expense of servicing, storage, and insurance. It also lets you access the latest machinery without long-term commitment, so you’re always using reliable, modern technology without the risks of depreciation or downtime.

  • How do I know what machine is right for my project?

    The choice depends on the type of work, the size of the site, and the materials being moved. For example, excavators are perfect for digging and lifting, while rollers are essential for compacting surfaces. A hire provider can assess your needs and recommend the most suitable equipment.

Flexible Hire That Fits

Hiring equipment is about more than convenience, it’s about giving projects the support they need to succeed. For short-term jobs, the ability to access modern, well-maintained machinery on demand ensures work can start quickly and finish on schedule. For long-term projects, having a hire partner you can rely on means fewer breakdowns, better planning, and less stress for managers juggling tight deadlines. Lamont Civil Services maintains their fleet to high standards, so machines are always ready to perform when called upon.


Wet hire offers additional peace of mind, providing qualified operators who bring both technical expertise and efficiency to the job. Dry hire gives clients freedom, perfect for teams who already have trained staff but need the right equipment. In regional areas where availability can make or break a schedule, dependable plant hire ensures work keeps progressing without costly hold-ups. From road construction to community upgrades, having the right tools on-site means better results and smoother workflows every time.
