WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

When hiring a machine our standard terms and conditions apply, here are some of the key points summarised. For more indepth info, visit our FAQs page

OPERATOR AND USE

You need to be a competent operator and you need to advise us of the intended use of the machine. This allows us to recommend the correct size or type of machine for the task on hand.

USE AND CARE

The hirer is responsible for the use and care of the machine whilst on hire. The machine is to be returned in the same condition and as clean as when it was supplied at the start. The machine is to be used in a safe manner for the intended purpose and within the machines capabilities in what it was designed for.

HIRE PERIOD

The hire period is from the time the machine leaves the yard and continues till the time it is returned. One days hire is up to 8 machine hours per day. Excess hours used will be calculated to match the number of days charged.

Master Sweeper, Tractor Sweeper

INSURANCE

Insurance cover is required for any machine that goes out on hire. Either the hirer may provide their own insurance cover ( a copy of this is to be provided prior to the commencement of hire ) and take full responsibility for risk of damage or loss, or the hirer pays the 8% insurance premium and uses the insurance cover provided by Allways Hire.

This decision needs to be made prior to the start of the hire period, not at the return of the machine. More insurance details and what is covered under the insurance tab. All repair costs up to the insurance excess amount of $2,500 – $10,000 is payable by the hirer regardless of the circumstances.

SAFETY IS AT THE HEART OF OUR BUSINESS

Health and Safety is an important part of what we do. That’s why we keep it front and centre at all times. We never lose sight of the fact that we’re hiring out powerful machines and equipment that can be dangerous if incorrectly operated. We treat all of our hire equipment with the respect it deserves. That starts with our high maintenance standards and includes making sure you always have the information you need to safely operate our machinery and equipment.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT HIRING WITH US

“Every time I go to hire something it’s easy. I don’t think I’ve had a major issue yet and I’ve hired oodles of gear from [Allways Hire]. So it’s just knowing that the gear’s going to be there – because you’ve got lots of it and it’s good – and it’s easy.”

Jason Hynes, Jace Excavation

"The reliability of machinery has been good for us. ... It affects the outcome of your overall job really if you haven’t got equipment that’s doing what it needs to be doing or you’re being held up because it’s not working or it’s out of service or different bits and pieces like that. It’s not ideal. You guys always provide good equipment, it’s always working, we know you’ve always got the stuff that we need, which is awesome.”

Leigh & Vicky, Diggers & More Ltd

“I would definitely recommend to anyone to work with Allways Hire. The reasons are…as contractors, when you need something you need it now and you guys are able to answer really promptly. If you don’t have your gear here in Napier you can get it from Hastings. You work closely from different branches to help us to get the gear sorted on site. Whatever we’re looking for you provided it. You even provided more than is expected – with that trailer for example with the system mounted on it – I wasn’t knowing that existed but you did provide it for us. So, you’re able to find the solution, to listen to what we want, to help us, you’re even able to create new gear if we need to. And you guys are just awesome, the service is awesome…there’s just no problem…”

Mathieu Albert, Site Supervisor at Groundfix

“Always Hire have very reliable gear, they have similar machines to what we use, so it’s pretty good to be able to grab machines that we bring out on the site, there’s no issues with it, we use it and we bring it back. The massive range that you guys carry is pretty awesome and if we need something you guys normally have it.”

Braden Jones, Digabit

“Having the stuff transported to us as we need it is helpful to us. It helps out a lot for a small company that they can transport it to us when we need it. Allways Hire has allowed us to grow without trying to find the capital to buy equipment straight off the bat. It’s allowed us to grab equipment as we need it, but getting the right equipment for the jobs we’re doing at the time. It’s been helpful and the support is really good.”

Dom Greening, Akra Civil

"The first time we hired them they told us exactly what to do. They were pretty good at explaining to us how the pumps work and how to operate it. Very knowledgeable and I can’t fault their friendliness, absolutely brilliant. They have looked after us and we’re really thankful for that."

Fanie Roode, Foreman at Rockit Apples

“We needed to start hiring a little bit of machinery that we didn’t already own and we came across Allways Hire and we’ve been using them ever since. We use Allways Hire for the machinery we don’t have or if there’s too much outlay to buy our own. We mainly hire the bigger diggers for installing our treatment plants and water tanks.”

Mitchell Ewart, SWD Wastewater and Drainage

“What I get here that stands out from everyone else is great service. There’s certainly been times where you’ve not necessarily had what I needed but you end up buying it anyway. That comes back to service, quality service going out of your way to get stuff to help me out.”

Kevin Manuel, Vinman Ltd

"We use the Master Sweeper mostly for sweeping the roads around the sites and work that we do. We’re bringing bits of shingle and dirt and debris onto the road so we’ll give the roads and driveway a good sweep every week to keep them clear. Mostly it’s just [about] keeping the roads clean and safe. For us it’s been very good. The bulk of the debris has already been removed so we’re just doing the last sweep up. Some of the stuff gets a little bit heavy on occasion but the broom handles it fine and we just slow down a little bit in those heavier times to allow it to keep up.”

Jaydon Currie, Drainways Contracting

“I’ve been a civil contractor for 18 years and have lots of experience dealing with hire companies. Allways Hire have given me a much more personal experience. They are very customer focused and it’s like they focus on the relationship between the medium to small sized businesses just as much as the big businesses.”
