Dry Hire DIY Equipment
Transform your backyard into a great space; you can do it yourself, and all within budget!
What Is Dry Hire Equipment?
Dry hire is when individuals like you hire machines and plant equipment to operate yourself instead of paying professionals to do it. This is the primary difference between dry hire and wet hire, which also includes the costs of an operator’s labour. When you dry hire equipment, you can access commonly used earthmoving and construction machines like excavators and bobcat loaders with just your car license. Dry hire is an affordable, flexible way to access DIY equipment for home renovation projects that gives you complete control over how you manage your workload.
Ryno Hire offers affordable dry hire equipment for both seasoned DIY enthusiasts and total novices. You can hire any excavator or loader with just your driver’s licence—no special tickets are required. If you need operational guidance, we’re only a phone call away.
From excavators and loaders to tipper trucks and attachments, Ryno Hire has the dry hire machinery you need, even if you’re not sure what that is yet.
Dry Hire Equipment Available
We have you covered, whether you need only small machinery to rent or larger earthmoving equipment. This is the dry hire equipment available at Ryno Hire.
Loader Hire
Commonly used in industries like landscaping and construction, bobcat loaders are versatile and adaptable equipment. Ryno Hire’s bobcat loaders come in two varieties: skid steer and posi-track loaders, which both have their strengths depending on the ground’s surface. As dry hire equipment, Bobcat loaders are best used for tasks like clearing and levelling the ground or shifting the soil for gardening or construction. We have a wide range of loaders available for rent at Ryno Hire from top-quality brands, including Bobcat, ASV, Kubota, and Kanga.
Compaction Equipment Hire
Essential for construction and landscaping, compaction equipment compresses dirt and gravel and removes air pockets. It lays the foundation of your DIY project and allows you to roll other equipment across more dense and stable ground. Ryno Hire’s compaction equipment for hire includes rollers, rammers and vibe plates ideal for jobs like landscaping, driveway paving and patio building.
Mini Dumper Hire
When you have a job that’s too large for a wheelbarrow and too small for a dump truck, a mini-dumper is the perfect choice. Great for shifting materials in and out of confined spaces, it’s frequently used for tight access excavation work. If you’re building a pool, constructing a pathway, shifting pavers or removing concrete, this kind of equipment helps you make the task a lot easier.
Excavator Hire
Excavators are among the most commonly used machines in the construction industry and can play a significant role in your DIY project. Ryno Hire’s excavators come in all different sizes, from 1-tonne models perfect for redoing your driveway to 8-tonne units for heavy-duty trenching to 3.5-tonne models that work for most tasks.
Mini Loader Hire
Mini-loaders are perfect if you have a DIY project that requires extra care and precision. They allow you to move materials through tight spaces, like around the sides of houses. At Ryno Hire, you’ll find two types of mini-loaders—tracked and wheeled—perfect for all kinds of jobs, from backfilling trenches to shifting materials like concrete and rubble.
Tipper Truck Hire
A tipper truck does the heavy lifting for you, transporting large objects and moving materials like sand, soil, clay and garden waste around. Ryno Hire provides tipper trucks of various sizes and carrying and towing capacities, with something for backyard jobs both large and small. Take your pick from 4.5-tonne GVM, 7.5-tonne GVM and 10.4-tonne GVM varieties.
