Frequently Asked Questions - Plant Hire Mackay

Wet hire means you get the machine and a qualified operator, EJ's provides the driver. Dry hire means the machine only, you supply a licenced, experienced operator. Wet hire is ideal when you need the job done safely without sourcing your own driver. Dry hire suits contractors with their own operator team who just need quality equipment.
-
For excavators over 3 tonnes and skid steers, a relevant high-risk work licence is required in Queensland. You also need demonstrated experience operating the specific equipment safely. We'll confirm licence requirements when you enquire.
