Frequently asked questions
How much does excavator (360) hire cost in Coventry?
A 13 tonne class 360 excavator can be found from around £500 a week before VAT on a self-drive basis, but most larger excavators are priced per job. Low-loader transport, attachments and an operator with a CPCS or NPORS card usually make up a large part of the total, so ask for a quote that lists each item separately.
Can I hire an excavator (360) with an operator?
Yes, you can ask for operated hire. Choose that option and describe the job and the hours you expect; the hire company confirms availability and quotes for the operator. Compare the total including fuel, travel and any overtime.
How does delivery of an excavator (360) work?
You can ask for delivery and collection or arrange to collect it yourself, depending on the equipment and the company. Give the postcode, the access, the delivery times and how it can be unloaded. Check the price of both journeys and who loads and unloads before you accept the quote.
Do I need a licence or training to operate it?
On UK sites operators are normally expected to be trained and to hold a recognised card for the machine, such as CPCS or NPORS, or IPAF for access platforms, and the hire company may ask for proof. If you do not have one, hire it with an operator.
