Rental vs purchase: which model suits your project?

1. Hiring equipment

Short-term or specialised jobs usually favour rental. You pay only for the weeks you need, servicing is included and breakdown support is one call away.

• Lower upfront capital
• Latest models with updated safety tech
• Flexible swap-outs as site conditions change

2. Buying equipment

For long-duration developments or contractors with constant workloads, ownership can be more cost-effective over the life of the machine.

• Asset depreciation and tax advantages
• Immediate availability without booking queues
• Custom attachments and branding

Compliance you can’t ignore

All heavy equipment must comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 and relevant WorkSafe guidance. Check service logs, certification plates and operator manuals before signing any agreement. A quick read of WorkSafe’s construction sector best-practice explains your obligations.

How to compare Otago suppliers

1. Availability & delivery
Remote alpine projects can face weather delays. Confirm lead times, transport costs and whether the supplier can provide on-site induction.

2. Fleet age & maintenance
Ask for the average machine age and last service date. Modern fleets reduce downtime and fuel burn.

3. Support services
24/7 breakdown cover, operator hire and consumables such as fuel or cutting edges keep the site moving.

4. Pricing transparency
Request all-inclusive quotes covering transport, cleaning fees and excess hours.
